Answer:

You would be electrocuted if you bathed with the hair dryer, even if the shower is with perfectly pure distilled water, because even though the distilled water is pure and does not conduct electricity, it dissolves the ions of the body, from the bathtub, from the hair dryer or any surface that is not completely clean and will conduct electricity.

Explanation:

Water does not conduct electricity, but ions dissolved in water will. Because the electric current is transported by means of ions in solution, the conductivity increases when the ion concentration increases. Then pure or distilled water would not conduct electricity. Upon contact with any surface that is not completely clean, ions dissolve and conduct electricity.

The water used to take a shower, wash or drink water, contains mineral salts that are ionized, that is to say that they are electrically charged, in addition to different ions such as calcium, magnesium, nitrites, chlorides and nitrates, which allow the passage of current.

You would be electrocuted if you bathed with the hair dryer, even if the shower is with perfectly pure distilled water, because even though the distilled water is pure and does not conduct electricity, it dissolves, as previously mentioned, the ions of the body, from the bathtub, from the hair dryer or any surface that is not completely clean and will conduct electricity.

the water wants to give the electricity to you because it doesn't want any more electrons it throws them away and gives them to your body

Phosgene (COCl2) is a toxic substance that forms readily from carbon monoxide and chlorine at elevated temperatures: CO(g) + Cl2

lapo4ka [179]

Answer: Concentration of $CO$ = 0.328 M

Concentration of $Cl_2$ = 0.328 M

Concentration of $COCl_2$ = 0.532 M

Explanation:

Moles of $CO$ and $Cl_2$ = 0.430 mole

Volume of solution = 0.500 L

Initial concentration of $CO$ and $Cl_2$ = $\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.430}{0.500}=0.860M$

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

$CO(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons COCl_2(g)$

Initial conc. 0.860M 0.860M 0

At eqm. conc. (0.860-x) M (0.860-x) M (x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

$K_c=\frac{[COCl_2]}{[CO][Cl_2]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

$4.95=\frac{x}{(0.860-x)^2}$

By solving the term 'x', we get :

x = 0.532 M

Thus, the concentrations of $CO,Cl_2\text{ and }COCl_2$ at equilibrium are :

Concentration of $CO$ = (0.860-x) M =(0.860-0.532) M = 0.328 M

Concentration of $Cl_2$ = (0.860-x) M = (0.860-0.532) M = 0.328 M

Concentration of $COCl_2$ = x M = 0.532 M

True or false: nitrogen gas behaves more like an ideal gas as the temperature increases

navik [9.2K]

Is true. Nitrogen gas behaves more like an ideal gas as the temperature increases. Under normal conditions such as normal pressure and temperature conditions , most real gases behave qualitatively as an ideal gas. Many gases such as air , nitrogen , oxygen ,hydrogen , noble gases , and some heavy gases such as carbon dioxide can be treated as ideal gases within a reasonable tolerance. Generally, the removal of ideal gas conditions tends to be lower at higher temperatures and lower density (that is at lower pressure ), since the work made by the intermolecular forces is less important compared to the kinetic energy of the particles, and the size of the molecules is less important compared to the empty space between them. The ideal gas model tends to fail at lower temperatures or at high pressures, when intermolecular forces and intermolecular size are important.

Janel’s class studied properties of matter and how matter can change. Janel decided she would do an experiment mixing baking sod

mafiozo [28]

1. First, identify the physical state of matter of baking soda. Describe another property of baking soda.

Baking soda is composed of sodium bicarbonate which is also named sodium hydrogen carbonate, and it is a chemical compound with the formula NaHCO₃. Sodium bicarbonate is a white solid that is crystalline, but often appears as a fine powder. It is also a salt composed of a sodium cation (Na⁺) and a bicarbonate anion (HCO₃⁻).

Baking soda is alkaline with a pKa of 10.329. This reagent is used in baking as a leavening agent because when it reacts with acid, carbon dioxide is released causing expansion of the batter.

2. Next, identify the physical state of matter of vinegar. Describe another property of vinegar.

Vinegar is an aqueous solution of acetic acid which is a colourless acid liquid organic compound with the chemical formula CH3COOH and a pKa of 4.756. Vinegar typically contains 5–20% by volume of acetic acid. Usually the acetic acid is produced by the fermentation of ethanol or sugars by acetic acid bacteria. Vinegar also contains numerous flavonoids, phenolic acids, and aldehydes.

Vinegar has a sour taste and a pungent smell because of the acetic acid. This acid determines vinegar’s chemical properties. The pH of vinegar is typically in the range of 2 to 3.5, depending on the concentration of acetic acid, and it has of approximately 0.96 grams per milliliter, depending on its acidity.

3. Then, explain what Janel should see when she mixes the baking soda and vinegar.

When Janel mixes the baking soda with vinegar she will observe the formation of many bubbles in the mixture due to the evolution of carbon dioxide. When these ingredients are mixed, the sodium bicarbonate reacts with the acetic acid to produce carbon dioxide, water and sodium acetate according to the following reaction.

NaHCO₃(s) + CH₃COOH(l) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(l) + CH₃COONa (aq)

The carbon dioxide escapes the solution as bubbles. The bubbles are heavier than air, so the carbon dioxide collects at the surface of the container or overflows it.

4. Describe the states of matter of the new materials that are formed.

After the reaction between baking soda and vinegar, a transparent liquid formed by water and aqueous sodium acetate will be obtained, in addition to the evolution of carbon dioxide, which is a colorless gas at room temperature. However, if an excess of baking soda is added initially, a solid corresponding to the sodium bicarbonate will be observed, which did not react with the acetic acid present in the vinegar.

5. Explain how Janel can be certain a change has occurred.

Janel could make the reaction in a closed container. To make sure that the reaction occurred, Janel could unclog this container and immediately place a phosphor in the hole in it. If carbon dioxide was produced, this gas will extinguish the phosphor flame. Because CO₂ is heavier than air, it displaces it. This starves a fire of the oxygen needed for combustion.

Being that a dilute sodium acetate solution remains after the reaction, Janel could also boiled off this solution to obtained a supersaturated solution of sodium acetate. This will form a "hot ice" that will spontaneously crystallize, releasing heat and forming a solid that resembles water ice.

pure potassium hydrogen phthalate is used for the standardization of the sodium hydroxide solution. suppose that the potassium h

12345 [234]

Answer:

the reported molar concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution will be too high.

Explanation:

The term "standardization" in science or in analytical Chemistry simply means the process involved in the determination of a standard or the concentration of a particular substance.

One of the advantages and the most important of the advantages of Standardization is that it Helps in making sure that we get a result with the least error.

So, let me explain the answer. The reported molar concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution will be TOO HIGH because the potassium hydrogen phthalate is NOT completely dry. The weight of the moisture will create an additional weight which will increase the weight of potassium hydrogen phthalate in the solution
