Answer:

1. Source of carbon

2. Removal of cuticle

Explanation:

You may have been doing a photosynthesis lab in a biology course.

1. NaHCO₃

The purpose of creating a sodium bicarbonate solution was to provide the carbon that the plant needs for photosynthesis.

2. Soap solution

The soap solution acted as a detergent. It removed some of the waxy, water-repelling cuticle from the leaf's surface and made it easier for the sodium carbonate solution to get inside.

Consider the reaction N2(g) + 2O2(g)2NO2(g) Using standard thermodynamic data at 298K, calculate the entropy change for the surr

zysi [14]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of $\Delta S^o$ for the surrounding when given amount of nitrogen gas is reacted is 231.36 J/K

<u>Explanation:</u>

Entropy change is defined as the difference in entropy of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles.

The equation used to calculate entropy change is of a reaction is:

$\Delta S^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta S^o_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta S^o_{(reactant)}]$

For the given chemical reaction:

$N_2+2O_2\rightarrow 2NO_2$

The equation for the entropy change of the above reaction is:

$\Delta S^o_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta S^o_{(NO_2(g))})]-[(1\times \Delta S^o_{(N_2(g))})+(2\times \Delta S^o_{(O_2(g))})]$

We are given:

$\Delta S^o_{(NO_2(g))}=240.06J/K.mol\\\Delta S^o_{(O_2)}=205.14J/K.mol\\\Delta S^o_{(N_2)}=191.61J/K.mol$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta S^o_{rxn}=[(2\times (240.06))]-[(1\times (191.61))+(2\times (205.14))]\\\\\Delta S^o_{rxn}=-121.77J/K$

Entropy change of the surrounding = - (Entropy change of the system) = -(-121.77) J/K = 121.77 J/K

We are given:

Moles of nitrogen gas reacted = 1.90 moles

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

When 1 mole of nitrogen gas is reacted, the entropy change of the surrounding will be 121.77 J/K

So, when 1.90 moles of nitrogen gas is reacted, the entropy change of the surrounding will be = $\frac{121.77}{1}\times 1.90=231.36 J/K$

Hence, the value of $\Delta S^o$ for the surrounding when given amount of nitrogen gas is reacted is 231.36 J/K

Four balloons, each with a mass of 10.0 g, are inflated to a volume of 20.0 L, each with a different gas: helium, neon, carbon m

weeeeeb [17]

On temperature 25°C (298,15K) and pressure of 1 atm each gas has same amount of substance:
n(gas) = p·V ÷ R·T = 1 atm · 20L ÷ <span>0,082 L</span>·<span>atm/K</span>·<span>mol </span>· 298,15 K
n(gas) = 0,82 mol.
1) m(He) = 0,82 mol · 4 g/mol = 3,28 g.
d(He) = 10 g + 3,28 g ÷ 20 L = 0,664 g/L.
2) m(Ne) = 0,82 mol · 20,17 g/mol = 16,53 g.
d(Ne) = 26,53 g ÷ 20 L = 1,27 g/L.
3) m(CO) = 0,82 mol ·28 g/mol = 22,96 g.
d(CO) = 32,96 g ÷ 20L = 1,648 g/L.
4) m(NO) = 0,82 mol ·30 g/mol = 24,6 g.
d(NO) = 34,6 g ÷ 20 L = 1,73 g/L.

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Explanation:

The pH of a solution can be found by using the formula

$pH = - log [ {H}^{+} ]$

From the question we have

$pH = - log(1.2 \times {10}^{ - 2} ) \\ = 1.920818...$

We have the final answer as

What is the approximate percent by mass of potassium in KHCO3?

lozanna [386]

Answer:

The mass percent of potassium is 39%

Option C is correct

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Atomic mass of K = 39.10 g/mol

Atomic mass of H = 1.01 g/mol

Atomic mass of C = 12.01 g/mol

Atomic mass of O = 16.0 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate molar mass of KHCO3

Molar mass KHCO3 = 39.10 + 12.01 + 1.01 + 3*16.0

Molar mass KHCO3 = 100.12 g/mol

Step 3: Calculate mass percent of potassium (K)

%K = (atomic mass of K / molar mass of KHCO3) * 100%

%K = (39.10 / 100.12) * 100%

%K = 39.05 %

The mass percent of potassium is 39%

Option C is correct
