Answer:
A pH scale reading 13 indicates a strong base.
Explanation:
From my understanding:
1 -4 is a strong acid
4 - 7 is weak acid
7 - 9 is a weak base
9 - 14 is a strong base
Answer:
0.558mole of SO₃
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Molar mass of SO₃ = 80.0632g/mol
Mass of S = 17.9g
Molar mass of S = 32.065g/mol
Number of moles of O₂ = 0.157mole
Molar mass of O₂ = 31.9988g/mol
Unknown:
Maximum amount of SO₃
Solution
We need to write the proper reaction equation.
2S + 3O₂ → 2SO₃
We should bear in mind that the extent of this reaction relies on the reactant that is in short supply i.e limiting reagent. Here the limiting reagent is the Sulfur, S. The oxygen gas would be in excess since it is readily availbale.
So we simply compare the molar relationship between sulfur and product formed to solve the problem:
First, find the number of moles of Sulfur, S:
Number of moles of S = 
Number of moles of S =
= 0.558mole
Now to find the maximum amount of SO₃ formed, compare the moles of reactant to the product:
2 mole of Sulfur produced 2 mole of SO₃
Therefore; 0.558mole of sulfur will produce 0.558mole of SO₃
Even though two grams seemed to disappear or vanish, the law of conversation of mass still holding true. Mercuric oxide, when heated, forms a gas of mercury and oxygen. During the investigation, some gas could have escaped or evaporated.
The answer is a. plenty of water
Answer:

Explanation:
<em>Ferrous Sulphate</em>
<em> is generally found as Lime-Green Crystals. On heating, these crystals almost immediately turn white-yellow. They then, break down to produce an anhydrous mixture of Sulphur Trioxide </em>
<em>, Sulphur Dioxide </em>
<em> as well as Ferric Oxide </em>
<em>.</em>
<em>We can hence, frame a skeletal equation of this reaction and try to balance it.</em>
<em>Hence,</em>

<em>Now,</em>
<em>a)In order to balance it through the 'Hit &Trial Method', we'll follow a series of </em><em>steps</em><em>:</em>
<em>1. First, lets compare the number of Fe (Iron) atoms on the RHS and LHS. We find that, the no. of Fe Atoms on the RHS is twice the number of Fe Atoms on the LHS. We hence, add a co-effecient 2 beside </em>
.
<em>2. Now, Iron atoms, Sulphur Atoms and Oxygen atoms occur 2, 2, 8 respectively on both the sides:</em>
<em> Hence, As all the other elements as well as iron, balance, we've arrived upon our Balanced Equation :</em>
<em> </em>
<em>b) We know that, decomposition reactions are [generally] endothermic reactions in which Large Compounds </em><em>decompose </em><em>into smaller elements and compounds. Here, as Ferrous Sulphate </em><em>decomposes </em><em>into Sulphur Dioxide, Sulphur Trioxide and Ferric Oxide, the reaction that occurs here is </em><em>Decomposition Reaction.</em>
