Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2, while water is H2O and oxygen (a diatomic gas) is O2. The (unbalanced) reaction is:
H2O2 --> H2O + O2
Notice that the H2O2 has 2 H atoms, and so does H2. This means that both must have the same coefficients, and we can adjust the coefficient of O2. Since H2O2 has 2 O atoms, and H2O has 1, we multiply O2 by 1/2:
H2O2 --> H2O + (1/2)O2
This has an equivalent number of H and O atoms on either side, but we want the coefficients to be whole numbers, so we multiply everything by 2:
2H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2
Answer:
37.98 kPa.
Explanation:
- We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.
where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.
V is the volume of the gas in L.
n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.
R is the general gas constant,
T is the temperature of the gas in K.
- If n and T are constant, and have different values of P and V:
<em>(P₁V₁) = (P₂V₂)</em>
<em></em>
P₁ = 101.3 kPa, V₁ = 1.5 L,
P₂ = ??? kPa, V₂ = 4.0 L.
- Applying in the above equation
<em>(P₁V₁) = (P₂V₂)</em>
<em></em>
<em>∴ P₂ = (P₁V₁)/V₂</em> = (101.3 kPa)(1.5 L)/(4.0 L) = <em>37.98 kPa.</em>
The salt desolves into the water which forms a solution which is called a mixture.
