Answer:

3.2 g O₂

Explanation:

To find the mass of O₂, you need to (1) convert grams H₂O to moles H₂O (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles H₂O to moles O₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles O₂ to grams O₂ (via molar mass). It is important to arrange the ratios/conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (the desired unit should be in the numerator). The final answer should have 2 sig figs to reflect the sig figs of the given value (3.6 g).

Molar Mass (H₂O): 2(1.008 g/mol) + 15.998 g/mol

Molar Mass (H₂O): 18.014 g/mol

2 H₂O -----> 2 H₂ + 1 O₂

Molar Mass (O₂): 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (O₂): 31.996 g/mol

3.6 g H₂O 1 mole 1 mole O₂ 31.996 g
---------------- x --------------- x --------------------- x --------------- = 3.2 g O₂
18.014 g 2 moles H₂O 1 mole

Calculate the pH of a 0.50 M HIO. The Ka of hypoiodic acid, HIO, is 2.3x10–11.0.305.325.479.474.80

never [62]

Answer:

pH = 5.47

Explanation:

The equilibrium that takes place is:

HIO ↔ H⁺ + IO⁻

Ka = $\frac{[H+][IO-]}{[HIO]}$ = 2.3 * 10⁻¹¹

At equilibrium:

[HIO] = 0.5 M - x

[H⁺] = x

[IO⁻] = x

<u>Replacing those values in the equation for Ka and solving for x:</u>

$Ka=\frac{x^2}{0.5-x}=2.3*10^{-11} \\x^2=(2.3*10^{-11})(0.5-x)\\x^2=1.15*10^{-11}-2.3*10^{-11}x\\x^2+2.3*10^{-11}x-1.15*10^{-11}=0\\x=3.39*10^{-6}$

Then [H⁺]=3.39 * 10⁻⁶, thus pH = 5.47

How can you described the energy of a storm

lakkis [162]

Answer:

When the surface water is warm, the storm sucks up heat energy from the water, just like a straw sucks up a liquid. This creates moisture in the air. If wind conditions are right, the storm becomes a hurricane. This heat energy is the fuel for the storm.

What is the oh- in a solution with a poh of 5.71

Rudik [331]

Answer:- The hydroxide ion concentration of the solution is $1.95*10^-^6$ .

Solution:- The formula used to calculate pOH from hydroxide ion is:

$pOH=-log[OH^-]$

When pOH is given and we are asked to calculate hydroxide ion concentration then we multiply both sides by negative sign and take antilog and what we get on doing this is:

$[OH^-]=10^-^p^O^H$
