Why do we use the metric system in science?

Chemistry
1 answer:
disa [49]2 years ago

we use the metric system in science just for the simple fact that it is a common unit practice around the world. in science we must use the same system, because it would cause confusion or mistakes.

hope this helps good luck! :)

Given the following reaction: 2D(g) + 3E(g) + F(g) \longrightarrow⟶ 2G(g) + H(g) When the concentration of D is decreasing by 0.
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Rate of reaction = -d[D] / 2dt  = -d[E]/ 3dt = -d[F]/dt  = d[G]/2dt = d[H]/dt

The concentration of H is increasing, half as fast as D decreases: 0.05 mol L–1.s–1

E decreseas 3/2 as fast as G increases = 0.30 M/s

Explanation:

Rate of reaction = -d[D] / 2dt  = -d[E]/ 3dt = -d[F]/dt  = d[G]/2dt = d[H]/dt

When the concentration of D is decreasing by 0.10 M/s, how fast is the concentration of H increasing:

Given data = d[D]/dt = 0.10 M/s

-d[D] / 2dt  = d[H]/dt

d[H]/dt = 0.05 M/s

The concentration of H is increasing, half as fast as D decreases: 0.05 mol L–1.s–1

When the concentration of G is increasing by 0.20 M/s, how fast is the concentration of E decreasing:

d[G] / 2dt  = -d[H]/3dt

E decreseas 3/2 as fast as G increases = 0.30 M/s

Determine the theoretical yield of HCl if 60.0 g of BC13 and 37.5 g of H20 are reacted according to the following balanced react
Pie

Answer : The theoretical yield of HCl is, 56.1735 grams

Explanation : Given,

Mass of BCl_3 = 60 g

Mass of H_2O = 37.5 g

Molar mass of BCl_3 = 117 g/mole

Molar mass of H_2O = 18 g/mole

Molar mass of HCl = 36.5 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of BCl_3 and H_2O.

\text{Moles of }BCl_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }BCl_3}{\text{Molar mass of }BCl_3}=\frac{60g}{117g/mole}=0.513moles

\text{Moles of }H_2O=\frac{\text{Mass of }H_2O}{\text{Molar mass of }H_2O}=\frac{37.5g}{18g/mole}=2.083moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

BCl_3(g)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_3BO_3(s)+3HCl(g)

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of BCl_3 react with 3 mole of H_2O

So, 0.513 moles of BCl_3 react with 3\times 0.513=1.539 moles of H_2O

From this we conclude that, H_2O is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and BCl_3 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of HCl.

As, 1 mole of BCl_3 react to give 3 moles of HCl

So, 0.513 moles of BCl_3 react to give 3\times 0.513=1.539 moles of HCl

Now we have to calculate the mass of HCl.

\text{Mass of }HCl=\text{Moles of }HCl\times \text{Molar mass of }HCl

\text{Mass of }HCl=(1.539mole)\times (36.5g/mole)=56.1735g

Therefore, the theoretical yield of HCl is, 56.1735 grams

The kb of hypochlorous acid is 3. 0×10^–8 at 26. 0 C. What is the percent of ionization of hypochlorous?
astraxan [27]

The acid dissociation constant (Ka) defines the difference between a weak and a strong acid. The % ionization of hypochlorous acid is 0.14%.

<h3>What is the acid dissociation constant?</h3>

The acid dissociation constant is used to define the ionization constant of an acidic substance. It gives the quantitative measurement of the strength.

The ICE table is attached to the image below.

The acid dissociation constant (Ka) for the reaction is,

Ka = [H⁺][ClO⁻] ÷ [HClO]

= a² ÷ (0.015 - a)

= 3.0 x 10⁻⁸

Now, a² + 3.0 x 10⁻⁸ a - 4.5 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 0

So, a = 2.210 × 10⁻⁵

Solving further,

[H+] = a = 2.210 × 10⁻⁵ M

The percent ionization is calculated as,

[H+] ÷ [HClO] × 100

= 2.210 × 10⁻⁵ M ÷ 0.015 × 100

= 0.14 %

Therefore, 0.14 % is the percentage of hypochlorous ionization.
