Answer:

The substance is not shown, so I'll answer the question in general terms.

Any substance can exist as a gas or a solid but not a liquid below the triple point pressure. As can be seen in the figure attached, below the triple point pressure there are only two possible phases, solid and gas. This means that a solid at a pressure below the triple point pressure which is heated at constant pressure (only its temperature increase) will sublimate, that is, it transforms into gas without passing through liquid phase. Analogously, a gas at a pressure below the triple point pressure which is cooled at constant pressure (only its temperature decrease) will deposit, that is, it transforms into solid without passing through liquid phase .

If a solid changes into gas state without being a liquid first , this change of state is called sublimation . Iodine solid and solidified carbon dioxide (i.e. dry ice ) are examples of substance that sublime . The opposite process of sublimation is deposition . I.e. When a gas turns into a solid directly . The formation of frost is an example of deposition .

How does a system at equilibrium respond to the addition of more reactant

grin007 [14]

Answer:

It favors the forward reaction.

Explanation:

According to Le Chatelier's Principle, when a system at equilibrium suffers a perturbation, the system will react in order to counteract the effect of such perturbation.

If more reactant is added, the system will try to decrease its concentration. It will do so by favoring the forward reaction, decreasing the concentration of the reactant and increasing the concentration of the products, in order to re-establish the equilibrium.

Which of the following possess the greatest concentration of hydroxide ions?

jek_recluse [69]

Answer : The correct option is (d) a solution of 0.10 M NaOH

Explanation :

(a) a solution of pH 3.0

First we have to calculate the pOH.

$pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-3.0=11$

Now we have to calculate the $OH^-$ concentration.

$pOH=-\log [OH^-]$

$11=-\log [OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-11}M$

Thus, the $OH^-$ concentration is, $1.0\times 10^{-11}M$

(b) a solution of 0.10 M $NH_3$

As we know that 1 mole of $NH_3$ is a weak base. So, in a solution it will not dissociates completely.

So, the $OH^-$ concentration will be less than 0.10 M

(c) a solution with a pOH of 12.

We have to calculate the $OH^-$ concentration.

$pOH=-\log [OH^-]$

$12=-\log [OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-12}M$

Thus, the $OH^-$ concentration is, $1.0\times 10^{-12}M$

(d) a solution of 0.10 M NaOH

As we know that $NaOH$ is a strong base. So, it dissociates to give $Na^+$ ion and $OH^-$ ion.

So, 0.10 M of $NaOH$ in a solution dissociates to give 0.10 M of $Na^+$ ion and 0.10 M of $OH^-$ ion.

Thus, the $OH^-$ concentration is, 0.10 M

(e) a $1\times 10^{-4}M$ solution of $HNO_2$

As we know that 1 mole of $HNO_2$ in a solution dissociates to give 1 mole of $H^+$ ion and 1 mole of $NO_2^-$ ion.

So, $1\times 10^{-4}M$ of $HNO_2$ in a solution dissociates to give $1\times 10^{-4}M$ of $H^+$ ion and $1\times 10^{-4}M$ of $NO_2^-$ ion.

The concentration of $H^+$ ion is $1\times 10^{-4}M$

First we have to calculate the pH.

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

$pH=-\log (1.0\times 10^{-4})$

$pH=4$

Now we have to calculate the pOH.

$pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-4=10$

Now we have to calculate the $OH^-$ concentration.

$pOH=-\log [OH^-]$

$10=-\log [OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=1.0\times 10^{-10}M$

Thus, the $OH^-$ concentration is, $1.0\times 10^{-10}M$

From this we conclude that, a solution of 0.10 M NaOH possess the greatest concentration of hydroxide ions.

Hence, the correct option is (d)

A) Atom is generally charge less, why?

Aliun [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Every atom has no overall charge (neutral). This is because they contain equal numbers of positive protons and negative electrons. These opposite charges cancel each other out making the atom neutral.
