Answer

When oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously it is called a redox reaction.

Explanation:

Oxidation is the process in which an electron loses an atom, whereas, in reduction an atom gains an atom. when both of these reactions occur simultaneously the process is known as redox.

When a substance is being oxidized, it loses an electron or a hydrogen atom and gains an oxygen atom. Whereas, in reduction it gains an hydrogen atom and loses an oxygen atom. These two cannot happen individually and will always happen simultaneously.

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

hydrogen bonds between water molecules

Explanation:

The hydrogen bonds between water molecules conditions the bulk of its physical property most especially its relatively high boiling point. The hydrogen bond results from the attraction between the oxygen of a water molecule and the hydrogen of another water molecule. The more electronegative oxygen atom causes a distortion and the attraction leads to a strong intermolecular bond between atoms of the water molecules.

Hydrogen bond is a very strong bond and it is responsible for the physical properties of water.

The temperature of a 100.0 g sample of water is raised from 30degrees celsius to 100.0 degrees celsius. How much energy is requi
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

29260J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of water sample  = 100g

Initial temperature = 30°C

Final temperature  = 100°C

Unknown:

Energy required for the temperature change = ?

Solution:

The amount of heat required for this temperature change can be derived from the expression below;

     H  = m c (ΔT)

H is the amount of heat energy

m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity of water  = 4.18J/g°C

ΔT is the change in temperature

Now insert the parameters and solve;

          H  = 100 x 4.18 x (100 - 30)

          H  = 100 x 4.18 x 70 = 29260J

g On the basis of their respective pKa values, determine which is the stronger acid, acetic acid (pKa 5 4.7) or benzoic acid (ma
ozzi

Answer:

Benzoic acid is the stronger acid

Explanation:

Weak acids do not dissociate completely in the solution. They exists in equilibrium with their respective ions in the solution.

The extent of dissociation of the acid furnising hydrogen ions can be determined by using dissociation constant of acid (K_a).

Thus for a weak acid, HA

HA \rightleftharpoons A^- + H^+

The K_a is:

K_a= \frac{[A^-][H^+]}{[HA]}

The more the K_a, the more the acid dissociates, the more the stronger is the acid.

Also,

pK_a is defined as the negative logarithm of K_a.

So, more the pK_a, less is the K_a and vice versa

All can be summed up as:

The less the value of pK_a, the more the  K_a is and the more the acid dissociates and the more the stronger is the acid.

Given,

pK_a of acetic acid = 54.7

pK_a of benzoic acid = 54.2

pK_a of benzoic acid < pK_a of acetic acid

So, benzoic acid is the stronger acid.

3. What is the mass of HI used to create 2.50L of a 0.48 M solution of hydroiodic acid?
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Mass = 153.48 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of solution = 2.50 L

Molarity = 0.48 M

Mass required = ?

Solution:

Molarity = number of moles / volume in litter

Number of moles = Molarity × volume in litter

Number of moles = 0.48 M  × 2.50 L

Number of moles =  1.2 mol

Mass of HI:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Mass = Number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.2 mol × 127.9 g/mol

Mass = 153.48 g
