zaharov [31]3 years ago
5 0

The oxidation state of any element such as Fe, H2, O2, P4, S8 is zero (0). The oxidation state of oxygen in its compounds is -2, except for peroxides like H2O2, and Na2O2, in which the oxidation state for O is -1.

For this problem, we use the Hess' Law.

ΔHrxn = ∑(ν*Hf of products) - ∑(ν*Hf of reactants)

The ν represents the corresponding stoichiometric coefficients of the substances, while Hf is the heat of formation. For pure elements, Hf = 0.

Hf of Al₂O₃ = <span>−1676.4 kJ/mol
</span>Hf of Fe₂O₃ = <span>-826.0 kJ/mol

Thus,

</span>ΔHrxn = 1*−1676.4 kJ/mol + 1*-826.0 kJ/mol
<em>ΔHrxn = -2502.4 kJ/mol</em>

the molar solubility of Zn(OH)2 is 5.7x 10^-3 mol/L at a certain temperature. Calculate the value of Ksp for Zn(OH)2 at this tem
Alex

Answer:

Ksp = 7.4x10⁻⁷

Explanation:

Molar solubility of a substance is defined as the amount of moles of that can be dissolved per liter of solution.

Ksp of Zn(OH)₂ is:

Zn(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Zn²⁺ + 2OH⁻

Ksp = [Zn²⁺] [OH⁻]²

And the molar solubility, X, is:

Zn(OH)₂(s) ⇄ Zn²⁺ + 2OH⁻

                 ⇄ X + 2X

<em>Because X are moles of substance dissolved.</em>

<em>Ksp = </em>[X] [2X]²

Ksp = 4X³

As molar solubility, X, is 5.7x10⁻³mol/L:

Ksp = 4X³

Ksp = 4 (5.7x10⁻³mol/L)³

<h3>Ksp = 7.4x10⁻⁷</h3>

A balloon inflated with three breaths of air has a volume of 1.7 L. At the same temperature and pressure, what is the volume of
Karolina [17]

Ans: The final volume of the balloon is 4.5 L

<u>Given:</u>

Volume of balloon inflated with 3 breaths = 1.7 L

<u>To determine:</u>

Volume of balloon after a total of 3+5 = 8 breaths

<u>Explanation:</u>

Volume of the balloon per breath = 1.7 L * 1 breath/3 breaths = 0.567 L

Final volume of balloon after 8 breaths = 0.567 L * 8 breath/1 breath

= 4.536 L

water is 2 parts of hydrogen and 1 part oxygen. for one molecule of water each atom has the atomic mass unit, u,shown. what perc
fomenos

Answer:

11.19 %

Explanation:

1 molecule water = 2 H + 1 O

If H = 1.008 u and O = 16.00 u, then

Water = 2H + 1 O = (2 × 1.008 u) + (1 × 16.00 u) = 2.016 u + 16.00 u = 18.02 u

The formula for mass percent is

\% \text{ by mass} = \frac{\text{Mass of H}}{\text{Total mass}} \times 100 \%

So,

\%\text{ H} = \frac{\text{2.016 u}}{\text{18.02 u}} \times 100 \% = 11.19 \%
