These are the answer options of this question and the comments about their validity:

<span>A) It dictates that the number of molecules on each side of a chemical equation must be the same.

False: the number of molecules can change. Take this simple reaction for example:

2H2(g) + O2 -> 2H2O

You start with 3 molecules, 2 molecules of H2 and 1 molecule of O2, and end with 2 molecules of water. Then the number of molecules of each side is different.

B) It dictates that the number of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides of a chemical equation.

TRUE: in a chemical reaction the atoms remain being the same at start and at the end of the process. Given that each atom has a characteristic mass, their conservation implies the law of conservation mass.

C) It states that the mass of the reactants must remain constant in order for a chemical reaction to proceed.

FALSE. The mass of the reactants changes during a chemical reaction, while they transform into the products.

D) It does not apply to chemical reactions.

FALSE: It is an important law used in the calculus related with chemical reactions.

An oxygen molecule consists of two oxygen atoms, (O2), whose total mass is 5.3 × 10–26 kg and whose moment of inertia about an a

Katena32 [7]

Answer : The distance between the two atoms is $1.2\times 10^{-10}m$

Explanation :

The The formula used for moment of inertia for one atom is:

$I=(\frac{m}{2})r^2$

The formula used for moment of inertia for two atom is:

$I=2(\frac{m}{2})r^2$

where,

I = moment inertia = $1.9\times 10^{-46}kg.m^2$

r = distance of atom from axis of rotation

m = mass of atom = $5.3\times 10^{-26}kg$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$I=2(\frac{m}{2})r^2$

$1.9\times 10^{-46}kg.m^2=2(\frac{5.3\times 10^{-26}kg}{2})r^2$

$r=6.0\times 10^{-11}m$

Now we have to calculate the distance between the two atoms.

Formula used :

$d=2r$

where,

d = distance between the two atoms

$d=2\times 6.0\times 10^{-11}m=1.2\times 10^{-10}m$

Therefore, the distance between the two atoms is $1.2\times 10^{-10}m$

1. A solution is made by mixing 50mL of 2.0M K2HPO4 and 25mL of 2.0M KH2PO4. The solution is diluted to a final volume of 200mL.

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The pH of the final solution is 7.15

Explanation:

50 mL of 2.0 M of $K_2HPO_4$ and 25 mL of 2.0 M of $KH_2PO_4$ were mixed to make a solution

Final volume of the solution after dilution = 200 mL

Final concentration of $K_2HPO_4, [K_2HPO_4] = \frac{50 mL\times 2 M}{200 mL} = 0.5 M$

Final concentration of $KH_2PO_4, [KH_2PO_4] = \frac{25 mL\times 2 M}{200 mL} = 0.25 M$

We use Hasselbach- Henderson equation:

$pH = pK_a+ log \frac{[salt]}{[acid]}pka of KH_2PO_4 = 6.85$

Substituting the values:

$pH = 6.85+ log \frac{0.5}{0.25}pH = 6.85+ log 2pH = 6.85+ 0.3 = 7.15$

Therfore, the pH of the final solution is 7.15
