Answer:

The final temperature will be close to 20°C

Explanation:

First of all, the resulting temperature of the mix can't be higher than the hot substance's (80°C) or lower than the cold one's (20°C). So options d) and e) are imposible.

Now, due to the high heat capacity of water (4,1813 J/mol*K) it can absorb a huge amount of heat without having a great increment in its temperature. On the other hand, copper have a small heat capacity (0,385 J/mol*K)in comparison.

In conclusion, the copper will release its heat decreasing importantly its temperature and the water will absorb that heat resulting in a small increment of temperature. So the final temperature will be close to 20°C

This analysis can be done because we have equal masses of both substances.

What is the concentration of OH − and pOH in a 0.00066 M solution of Ba ( OH ) 2 at 25 ∘ C? Assume complete dissociation.

Allushta [10]

Answer: The hydroxide ion concentration and pOH of the solution is $1.32\times 10^{-3}M$ and 2.88 respectively

Explanation:

We are given:

Concentration of barium hydroxide = 0.00066 M

The chemical equation for the dissociation of barium hydroxide follows:

$Ba(OH)_2\rightarrow Ba^{2+}+2OH^-$

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

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

To calculate pOH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]$

We are given:

$[OH^-]=(2\times 0.00066)=1.32\times 10^{-3}M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pOH=-\log(1.32\times 10^{-3})\\\\pOH=2.88$

Hence, the hydroxide ion concentration and pOH of the solution is $1.32\times 10^{-3}M$ and 2.88 respectively

Both the oxygen you need to breathe and ozone are gases made only of oxygen. So why can't you survive by breathing ozone?

marshall27 [118]

Answer/Explanation: Two atoms of oxygen form the basic oxygen molecule--the oxygen we breathe that is essential to life. The third oxygen atom can detach from the ozone molecule, and re-attach to molecules of other substances, thereby altering their chemical composition.

Glucose gives humans energy, we basically run on glucose, among other things, the same way a car would run on gas.

Which reaction is a decomposition reaction? A. 2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2 B. 4Na + O2 → 2Na2O C. ZnS + 3O2 → 2ZnO + 2SO2 D. 2NaBr + CaF

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Option A. 2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

Explanation:

There are five basic general types of chemical reactions:

Decomposition reactions

Synthesis or combination reaction

Single replacement reactions

Double replacement reactions

Combustion reactions

The given reactions are:

2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂

Which is, indeed, a decomposition reaction because the reactant, KClO₃, is a single substance that undergoes a reaction in which it yields two new substances, known as products: KCl and O₂.

4Na + O₂ → 2Na₂O is a synthesis or combination reaction because two reactants, Na and O₂, combine for the formation of one single new product, Na₂O.

ZnS + 3 O₂ → 2ZnO + 2SO₂ is a single replacement reaction because oxygen is replacing Zn and S in ZnS to form ZnO and plus SO₂.

2NaBr + CaF₂ → 2NaF + CaBr₂ is a double replacement reaction because two ions (Br⁻ from NaBr and F⁻ from CaF₂) are exchanging places with other two ions (Na⁺ from NaBr and Ca²⁺ from CaF₂) two form two new ionic compounds (NaF and CaBr₂).
