Answer:

when silver articles exposed to air silver racts with Sulphur present in the atmosphere and form a black layer of silver sulphide on the surface. copper articles get tarnished by reacting with air and water. due to this, a layer is formed over copper vessels.

Explanation: When silver is exposed to sulfur-containing gases in the air, it discolours and then darkens as it reacts with the gas to form a surface layer of tarnish If a silver object is to be kept from tarnishing, it must be protected from sulfur-containing gases.

Acetic acid (HC2H3O2, Ka=1.8x10^-5) is a weak acid. Calculate the pH of an aqueous solution of .25M acetic acid.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: The pH of an aqueous solution of .25M acetic acid is 2.7

Explanation:

$HC_2H_3O_2\rightarrow H^+C_2H_3O_2^-$

cM 0 0

$c-c\alpha$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

So dissociation constant will be:

$K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}$

Give c= 0.25 M and $\alpha$ = ?

$K_a=1.8\times 10^{-5}$

Putting in the values we get:

$1.8\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(0.25\times \alpha)^2}{(0.25-0.25\times \alpha)}$

$(\alpha)=0.0084$

$[H^+]=c\times \alpha$

$[H^+]=0.25\times 0.0084=0.0021$

Also $pH=-log[H^+]$

$pH=-log[0.0021]=2.7$

Thus pH is 2.7

Latent heat is used to: 1. form chemical bonds. 2. change molecular structure. 3. change states of matter. 4. change the tempera

likoan [24]

Answer : The correct option is, (3) change states of matter.

Explanation :

Latent heat : It is defined as the heat required to convert the solid into liquid or vapor and a liquid into a vapor without changing the temperature.

There are two types of latent heat.

(1) Latent heat of fusion

(2) Latent heat of vaporization

Latent heat of fusion : It is defined as the amount of heat energy released or absorbed when the solid converted to liquid at atmospheric pressure at its melting point.

Latent heat of vaporization : It is defined as the amount of heat energy released or absorbed when the liquid converted to vapor at atmospheric pressure at its boiling point.

Hence, latent heat is used to change states of matter.
