Answer: The pH of the solution is 13.

Explanation:

pOH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydroxide ion concentration present in the solution.

[tex]pOH=-\log [OH^-][/tex]

We are given:

Concentration of [tex]Ca(OH)_2=0.05mol/dm^3=0.5mol/L[/tex]          (Conversion factor: [tex]1L = 1dm^3[/tex] )

1 mole of calcium hydroxide produces 1 mole of calcium ions and 2 moles of hydroxide ions

Concentration of [tex]OH^-=(2\times 0.05)=0.1mol/L[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]pOH=-\log (0.1)\\\\pOH=1[/tex]

We know:

[tex]pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-1\\\\pH=13[/tex]

Hence, the pH of the solution is 13.

Which of the following would be expected to have the lowest boiling point?
CH3CH2CH2CH3, CH3CH2NHCH3, NH2CH2CH2NH2, CH3CH2CH2NH2


O CH3CH2NHCH3
O NH2CH2CH2NH2
O CH3CH2CH2NH2
O CH3CH2CH2CH3

Answers

Answer:

CH3CH2CH2CH3

Explanation:

The boiling point of a compound depends on the nature of intermolecular interaction between the molecules of the compound.

If a molecule is nonpolar and has a low molecular mass, then its molecules are most likely held together only by weak intermolecular bonds such as dispersion forces. These forces are easily broken and the molecules move apart hence the molecule possess a low boiling point.

Polar molecules and molecules having higher molecular mass tend to have higher boiling points.

Among all the compounds listed, CH3CH2CH2CH3 is non polar and has the lowest molecular mass hence it exhibits the least boiling point.

Using the two cell reduction potential shown for the corresponding reaction calculate the cell potential for a voltaic cell made from these two metals.
A. 1.32 V
B. -0.28 V
C.0.28 V
D. -1.32 V

Answers

Answer:

C.0.28 V  

Explanation:

Using the standard cell potential we can find the standard cell potential for a voltaic cell as follows:

The most positive potential is the potential that will be more easily reduced. The other reaction will be the oxidized one. That means for the reactions:

Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu E° = 0.52V

Ag⁺ + 1e⁻ → Ag E° = 0.80V

As the Cu will be oxidized:

Cu → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻

The cell potential is:

E°Cell = E°cathode(reduced) - E°cathode(oxidized)

E°cell = 0.80V - (0.52V)

E°cell = 1.32V

Right answer is:

C.0.28 V

1) The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of an element. Each element has a unique number of protons. For example, an atom with 47 protons is always a silver atom and has an atomic number of 47. The atomic number is used to distinguish different elements from one another.

The mass number A is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of an element. Atoms that have the same atomic number but different mass numbers are called isotopes. For example, all atoms with atomic number 6 are carbon atoms, but carbon atoms with mass numbers of 12 and 13 are isotopes of one another.

Each element is assigned a unique chemical symbol. For example, the symbol for hydrogen is H, and the symbol for oxygen is O. Some elements have symbols based on their names in languages other than English. For example, the symbol for iron is Fe, which is based on the Latin ferrum.

The atomic number, mass number, and chemical symbol are often combined to describe a given atom. For example, an atom of lithium (Li) with atomic number 3 and a mass number of 7 could be written 7/3 Li . Since the atomic number and the symbol are both unique to a given element, the atomic number is often left off of this notation, leaving ^7 Li.

Answers

Answer:

(i) Protons, Neutrons

(ii) Mass number = 15

(iii) Atomic number = 12

(iv) Neutrons present in the atom = 17

(v) Nuclear symbol for the silicon isotope with mass number, A = 29 is ²⁹₁₄Si

Explanation:

(i) An atom is composed of three fundamental sub-particles: electrons, protons and neutrons. Electrons are found in orbits or energy levels some distance away from The nucleus of the atom. The nucleus of an atom contains the protons and neutrons which accounts for the mass of the atom.

(ii) The mass number of an atom of an element is the sum of the protons and neutrons present jn the nucleus of the atom.

The mass number of an atom of oxygen with proton or atomic number 8 and neutron number 7 is 8 + 7 = 15

(iii) Atomic number of an atom of an element is equal to the number of protons in the atom of the element.

Mass number = proton number + neutron number

Proton number = mass number - proton number

Proton number = 25 - 13 = 12

(iv) In the atom of sulfur represented bymthe symbol, the number in superscript is the mass number A, and the number in subscript is the atomic number Z.

Mass number = proton number + neutron number

Neutron number = Mass number - proton number

Neutron number = 33 - 16 = 17

(v) The nuclear symbol for the silicon isotope with mass number, A = 29 is ²⁹₁₄Si

Where the number in superscript is the mass number A, and the number in subscript is the atomic number Z.

How many molecules of SO3 are present in 48g of SO3?

Answers

Answer:

3.6 ×10^23

Explanation:

moles = mass/ molar mass

molar mass= (1×32) +(3×16)= 80

moles = 48/ 80

moles = number of molecules/ 6×10^23

number of molecules = moles × 6×10^23

=0.6 × 6×10^23

=3.6 ×10^23

In some chemical reactions, such as photosynthesis, several different compounds take part in the reaction. How do you think that atoms present at the end of this kind of reaction compare to the atoms present at the beginning of the reaction? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

The atoms present at the beginning of the reaction is equal to the atoms present at the end of the reaction. This is because matter can neither be created nor be destroyed in an ordinary chemical reaction.

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, 6 molecules of water react with 6 molecules of carbon dioxide to form 1 molecule of glucose and 6 molecules of oxygen. The equation for the photosynthesis reaction is

6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

At the beginning of the reaction, there is 6 carbon atoms, 18 oxygen atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms while at the end of the reaction, there is 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 18 oxygen atoms.  This is because according to the law of conservation of mass and matter, it can neither be created nor be destroyed in an ordinary chemical reaction. The number of atoms present at the beginning of the reaction must be equal to the number of atoms present at the end of the reaction.

50 ml of 0.2 M acetic acid is shaken with 10 g activated charcoal. The concentration of acetic acid is reduced to 0.5 times the original molarity. The amount of solute (in g) adsorbed per gram of the adsorbent is approximately

Answers

Answer:

[tex] 0.03 g_{acid}/g_{charcoal} [/tex]

Explanation:

The amount adsorbed (solute) is the acetic acid, and the adsorbent is the activated charcoal. The mass of the adsorbent is 10 g.

So, we need to calculate the mass of the acetic acid as follows:

[tex] m = n*M = C*V*M [/tex]

Where:

n: is the number of moles = C*V

M: is the molecular mass =  60.052 g/mol

C: is the final concentration of the acid = 0.5*0.2 mol/L = 0.10 mol/L

V: is the volume = 50 ml = 0.050 L

[tex] m_{acid} = C*V*M = 0.10 mol/L*0.050 L*60.052 g/mol = 0.30 g [/tex]

Now, the amount of solute adsorbed per gram of the adsorbent is:

[tex] \frac{m_{acid}}{m_{charcoal}} = \frac{0.30 g}{10 g} = 0.03 g_{acid}/g_{charcoal} [/tex]

Therefore, the amount of solute adsorbed per gram of the adsorbent is 0.03 g/g.

According to the kinetic-molecular theory, the average kinetic energy of gas particles depends on which factor?

Answers

Answer:

Temperature.

Explanation:

Kinetic molecular theory of gases states that gas particles exhibit a perfectly elastic collision and are constantly in motion.

According to the kinetic-molecular theory, the average kinetic energy of gas particles depends on temperature.

This ultimately implies that, the average kinetic energy of gas particles is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of an ideal gas. Thus, an increase in the average kinetic energy of gas particles would cause an increase in the absolute temperature of an ideal gas.

Temperature can be defined as a measure of the degree of coldness or hotness of a physical object. It is measured with a thermometer and its units are Celsius (°C), Kelvin (K) and Fahrenheit (°F).

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is defined as the process whereby chemical bonds between atoms of

substances known as reactants are either formed or broken leading to the formation of products. New substances are usually formed during a chemical reaction. The following are features of chemical reaction:

--> Evolution of gas

--> Formation of a precipitate

--> Change in color

--> Change in temperature

--> Change in state and

--> Formation of new substances.

Some chemical reactions takes place with the evolution of gas. This can be seen in the reaction of Zinc metal with hydrochloric acid. Hydrogen gas is EVOLVED with the formation of zinc chloride.

UPWARD ARROW in a chemical reaction indicates the evolution of a gas. It appears only on the product side and is written next to the gaseous product.
