[O2]: The concentration decreases.

[SO3]: The concentration increases.

c)

[SO2]:There is no change.

[O2]: There is no change.

[SO3]: There is no change

Explanation:

For an exothermic reaction, increase in temperature decreases the concentration of products and increases the concentration of reactants since increase in temperature shifts the equilibrium position to the left hand side.

Increase in pressure and decrease in volume will shift the equilibrium position towards the right hand side which means more SO3 in the system.

Catalyst increases the rate of forward and reverse reaction simultaneously hence at equilibrium, the concentration of reactants and products remain unchanged.

For the first standard, he uses a pipet to transfer 10.00 mL of a 2.61 M Cu2+(aq) stock solution to a 250.0 mL volumetric flask, and he adds enough water to dilute to the mark. He then uses a second pipet to transfer 10.00 mL of the second solution to a 100.0 mL volumetric flask, and he adds enough water to dilute to the mark. Calculate the concentration of the Cu2+(aq) solution in the 100.0 mL volumetric flask. concentration: M

Answers

Answer:

0.01 M

Explanation:

The chemist is performing a serial dilution in order tyo obtain the calibration curve for the instrument.

First we must obtain the concentration of the solution in the 250ml flask from

C1V1 = C2V2

Where;

C1 = concentration of the stock solution

V1 = volume of the stock solution

C2 = concentration of the diluted solution

V2= volume of the diluted solution

2.61 × 10 = C2 × 250

C2 = 2.61 × 10/250

C2 = 0.1 M

Hence for solution in 100ml flask;

0.1 × 10 = C2 × 100

C2 = 0.1 × 10/100

C2 = 0.01 M

2.56 g of hydrogen reacts completely with 20.32 g of oxygen
to form X g of water. X = g

Answers

Answer:

Mass of water produced is 22.86 g.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of hydrogen = 2.56 g

Mass of oxygen = 20.32 g

Mass of water = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2H₂ + O₂   →  2H₂O

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 20.32 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.635 mol

Number of moles of hydrogen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 2.56 g/ 2 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.28 mol

Now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen and hydrogen.

                    O₂            :            H₂O

                     1              :             2

                  0.635        ;            2×0.635 =  1.27

                   H₂             :              H₂O

                    2              :              2

                 1.28            :           1.28

The number of  moles of water produced by oxygen are less thus it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of water produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.27 × 18 g/mol

Mass = 22.86 g

Answers

Answer:

The weight percent of NaCl in the container​ is 21.5%

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of NaCl = 168.90 gram

Mass of water = 616.00 grams

We need to calculate the weight percent of NaCl in the container​

What is the volume of 12.0 M NaOH needed to prepare 5.00 L of a 2.50 M NaOH solution? What volume of water (solvent) is required to make this dilution? Please show work

Answers

Answer:

Approximately [tex]1.04\; \rm L[/tex] of the [tex]12.0\; \rm M[/tex] [tex]\rm NaOH[/tex] solution is needed. Approximately another [tex]3.96\; \rm L[/tex] of water will also be required.

Assumption: the volume of these [tex]\rm NaOH[/tex] solutions does not depend on the quantity of [tex]\rm NaOH\![/tex] (the solute) that each of them contain.

Explanation:

Calculate the number of moles of [tex]\rm NaOH[/tex] formula units in that [tex]5.00\; \rm L[/tex] of [tex]2.50\; \rm M[/tex] [tex]\rm NaOH\![/tex] solution:

[tex]n(\mathrm{NaOH}) = c\cdot V = 5.00\; \rm L \times 2.50\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} = 12.5\; \rm mol[/tex].

Calculate the volume of a [tex]12.0\; \rm M[/tex] [tex]\rm NaOH[/tex] with that many [tex]\rm NaOH\![/tex] formula units:

[tex]\displaystyle V = \frac{n}{c} = \frac{12.5\;\rm mol}{12.0\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}}\approx 1.04\;\rm L[/tex].

That should be the volume of the [tex]12.0\; \rm M[/tex] [tex]\rm NaOH[/tex] solution needed to prepare that [tex]5.00\; \rm L[/tex] of [tex]2.50\; \rm M[/tex] [tex]\rm NaOH\![/tex] solution. However, [tex]1.04\; \rm L[/tex] corresponds to only about one-fifth the volume of a [tex]5.00\; \rm L\![/tex] solution. The difference in volume should be filled with pure water:

[tex]\begin{aligned}V(\text{water}) &\approx 5.00\; \rm L - 1.04\; \rm L = 3.96\; \rm L\end{aligned}[/tex].

Answer:

Explanation:

Sodium sulfate is formed by the sodium and sulfate ion.

Sodium is present in group one thus it has only one valence electron. Sodium lose its one valence electron to get complete octet and thus form cation with +1 charge.

On other hand sulfate ion is an anion it carries -2 charge so when it react with sodium there are two sodium atom combine with one sulfate ion inorder to make the compound neutral.

2Na + SO₄²⁻  →  Na₂SO₄

Sodium sulfate is actually form when sodium react with sulfuric acid and hydrogen gas is liberated.

Chemical equation:

Na + H₂SO₄  →  Na₂SO₄ + H₂

Balance chemical equation:

2Na + H₂SO₄  →  Na₂SO₄ + H₂

the object in question 1 has a mass of 21.535g. what metal is the cylinder most likely made of? why? pls help asap!!

Answers

Answer:

Aluminium

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Diameter (d) = 1.25 cm

Height (h) = 6.48 cm

Volume (V) of cylindrical=.?

Mass (m) of cylindrical object = 21.535 g

Density of the cylindrical object =..?

Next, we shall determine the radius of the cylindrical object. This is illustrated below:

Diameter (d) = 1.25 cm

Radius (r) =?

r = d/2

r = 1.25/2

Radius (r) = 0.625 cm

Next, we shall determine the volume of the cylindrical object. This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 6.48 cm

Radius (r) = 0.625 cm

Pi (π) = 3.14

Volume (V) of cylindrical=.?

V = πr²h

V = 3.14 × 0.625² × 6.48

V = 7.948 cm³

Recall:

1 cm³ = 1 mL

Therefore

7.948 cm³ = 7.948 mL

Thus, the volume of the cylindrical object is 7.948 mL

Finally, we shall determine the metal in which the cylindrical object is made up of by calculating the density of the cylindrical object. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) of cylindrical object = 21.535 g

Volume of the cylindrical object = 7.948 mL

Density of cylindrical object =?

Density = mass /volume

Density = 21.535 / 7.948

Density of cylindrical object = 2.7 g/mL

Comparing the density of the cylindrical object (i.e 2.7 g/mL) with those given in the table in the question, the cylindrical object is made of aluminium since they have the same density.

(A) Hemoglobin is 50% saturated (P50) at 20 torr, which is approximately equal to the partial pressure of O2 in muscle. The partial pressure of O2 in the lungs is 100 torr. If the Hill coefficient nh = 3, calculate how efficient hemoglobin is at O2 delivery. Express your answer as the difference between factional O2 binding in the lungs and fractional O2 binding in muscle (qlungs – qmuscle). (B) How would the efficiency of O2 delivery change if hemoglobin were not cooperative (i.e. if nh =1)?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

P₅₀ = 20 torr in muscle

The partial pressure of O2 in lungs Po₂ = 100 torr

The hill coefficient [tex]n_h[/tex] = 3

According to the Hill coefficient;

[tex]\dfrac{\Upsilon}{1-\Upsilon}= (\dfrac{PO_2}{P_{50}})^n[/tex]

here;

[tex]\Upsilon[/tex] = fraction of haemoglobin monomers

[tex]\dfrac{\Upsilon}{1-\Upsilon}= (\dfrac{100}{20})^3[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\Upsilon}{1-\Upsilon}[/tex] = 125 θ lungs

However for θ muscle :

[tex](\dfrac{PO_2}{P_{50}})^n=( \dfrac{20}{20})^3[/tex]

= 125 (θ lungs) - 1 (θ muscle)

= 124

B.

if nh =1

[tex]\mathtt {\theta \ lungs} = \dfrac{\Upsilon}{1-\Upsilon}= (\dfrac{100}{20})^1[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt {\theta \ lungs} =5[/tex]

[tex]\mathtt {\theta \ muscle} = \dfrac{20}{20}^1[/tex]

(θ muscle) = 1

(θ lungs) - (θ muscle) = 5 - 1

(θ lungs) - (θ muscle) = 4

A) The efficiency of hemoglobin at O₂ delivery = 124

B) Efficiency of O₂ delivery will change by : 4  

Given data:

Partial pressure of O₂ in lungs ( PO₂ )  = 100 torr

Partial pressure of O₂ in muscle  = ( P₅₀ ) = 20 torr

Hill coefficient nh = 3

r = fraction of hemoglobin monomers

A) Determine the efficiency of hemoglobin at O₂ delivery

Given that Hill coefficient = [tex]\frac{r}{1-r} = (\frac{PO_{2} }{P_{50} } )^{n}[/tex]  

                                          = [tex]\frac{r}{1-r} = (\frac{100}{20})^{3}[/tex]  = 125 ∅ Lungs

For Muscle :

[tex](\frac{20}{20} )^{3}[/tex] =  1 ∅ muscle

Therefore the efficiency of hemoglobin at 0₂ delivery

= ( ∅ lungs - ∅ muscle )

=  ( 125 - 1 )  = 124

B )  Determine the change in efficiency of O2 delivery

when hill coefficient ( nh ) = 1

for lungs :

[tex]\frac{r}{1-r} = (\frac{100}{20})^{1}[/tex]  = 5

for muscle :

[tex](\frac{20}{20} )^{1}[/tex]   = 1

Therefore change on efficiency =  ( 5 - 1 ) = 4

Hence we can conclude that The efficiency of hemoglobin at O₂ delivery = 124 and Efficiency of O₂ delivery will change by  4
