H2SO4 is added to a large beaker of water. How is the solution different from the original water?

2 answers:

When concentrated sulfuric acid, H2SO4(l), is added to water it will form a solution containing hydrogen ions and hydrogen sulfate ions. H2SO4 is a strong acid, but only for the first H+. The remaining HSO4^- is a weak acid. Since it forms an acidic solution, it will change blue litmus to red.

Answer:

The new solution is a homogeneous mixture and will have a lower pH i.e. more acidic.

Explanation:

The solution is different is different in 2 ways:

1) The original water is a pure solution. Water is a polar solvent and so is H2SO4. When the later is added to water it is completely dispersed and results in a solution which is essentially a homogenous mixture of two liquids.

2) Secondly the pH of water is neutral i.e.7. Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is a strong acid which dissociates completely to release H+ ions in solution. This increases the concentration of H+ ions. Since pH = -log[H+], the pH will decrease making the solution more acidic.

¿Qué hecho indujo a Heisenberg a establecer el principio de incertidumbre?

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Here's what I find

Explanation:

Heisenberg observed that if we want to locate a moving electron, we must bounce photons off it.

However, this makes it recoil. By the time the photon returns to our eye, the electron will no longer be in the same place.

He concluded that there is a limit to the precision with which we can simultaneously measure the position and speed (momentum) of a particle.

The more precisely we know the electron's speed, the less precisely we know its position and vice versa.

The uncertainty in the product of the two values cannot be less than a fixed small number.

Predict the sign of ΔSsys for each of the following processes. Which are positive? (a) Gasoline vapors mix with air in a car eng

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Positive: a and b

Negative: c

Explanation:

The entropy (S) is the measure of the randomness of the system, and it intends to increase. The randomness can be determined by the energy of the molecules, their velocity and how distance they are between the other molecules.

When the entropy increases, ΔS is positive, when the entropy decreases, ΔS is negative. So, when gasoline mix with air in a car engine, the process intends to continue, the randomness increases and ΔS is positive. When hot air expands, the distance between the molecules increases, so ΔS is positive.

But, when humidity condenses, the molecules stay closer, so there's a decrease in the randomness, then ΔS is negative.

Tetrachloromethane, CCl4 is produced from the substitution reaction between methane and chlorine gas. If the rate of formation o

Korolek [52]

The rate of disappearance of chlorine gas : 0.2 mol/dm³

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The reaction rate (v) shows the change in the concentration of the substance (changes in addition to concentrations for reaction products or changes in concentration reduction for reactants) per unit time.

For reaction :

$\tt aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD$

The rate reaction :

$\tt -\dfrac{1}{a}\dfrac{d[-A]}{dt}= -\dfrac{1}{b}\dfrac{d[-B]}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{c}\dfrac{d[C]}{dt}=\dfrac{1}{d}\dfrac{d[D]}{dt}$

Reaction for formation CCl₄ :

<em />

From equation, rate of reaction = rate of formation CCl₄ = 0.05 mol/dm³

Rate of formation of CCl₄ = reaction rate x coefficient of CCCl₄

0.05 mol/dm³ = reaction rate x 1⇒reaction rate = 0.05 mol/dm³

The rate of disappearance of chlorine gas (Cl₂) :

Rate of disappearance of Cl₂ = reaction rate x coefficient of Cl₂

Rate of disappearance of Cl₂ = 0.05 x 4 = 0.2 mol/dm³

The concentration after dilution is 1.4%.

We are aware that concentration and volume are related to each other by the formula -

$C_{1}$ $V_{1}$ = $C_{2}$ $V_{2}$ , where we have initial concentration and volume on Left Hand Side and final concentration and volume on Right Hand Side.
