can be oxidized to form carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Oxygen is important in the oxidation of glucose because it can be oxidized to form carbon dioxide. Oxidation of glucose involves the reaction of oxygen with glucose in a process called respiration. This gives a product of water, carbon dioxide and energy which is stored as ATP.

Oxidation involves the addition of oxygen.
Any specie that undergoes oxidation, is a reducing agent and it is said to be oxidized.
Oxygen is oxidized to form carbon dioxide and water.

Which of the following solutions is the most dilute.

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

d and e

Explanation:

We have 5 solutions with different molar concentrations, that is, the quotient between the number of moles of solute and the liters of solution. This can be expressed as mol/L or M. The most dilute would be the one having the less number of moles of solute per liters of solution, that is, solution d or e, which have the same concentration. If we order them from the most diluted to the most concentrated, we get:

d = e < a < b < c

1. The solubility of lead(II) chloride at some high temperature is 3.1 x 10-2 M. Find the Ksp of PbCl2 at this temperature.

solniwko [45]

Answer:

1) The solubility product of the lead(II) chloride is $1.2\times 10^{-4}$ .

2) The solubility of the aluminium hydroxide is $1.6\times 10^{-10} M$ .

3)The given statement is false.

Explanation:

1)

Solubility of lead chloride = $S=3.1\times 10^-2M$

$PbCl_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)$

S 2S

The solubility product of the lead(II) chloride = $K_{sp}$

$K_{sp}=[Pb^{2+}][Cl^-]^2$

$K_{sp}=S\times (2S)^2=4S^3=4\times (3.1\times 10^{-2})^3=1.2\times 10^{-4}$

The solubility product of the lead(II) chloride is $1.2\times 10^{-4}$ .

2)

Concentration of aluminium nitrate = 0.000010 M

Concentration of aluminum ion = $1\timed 0.000010 M=0.000010 M$

Solubility of aluminium hydroxide in aluminum nitrate solution = $S$

$Al(OH)_3(aq)\rightleftharpoons Al^{3+}(aq)+3OH^-(aq)$

S 3S

The solubility product of the aluminium nitrate = $K_{sp}=1.0\times 10^{-33}$

$K_{sp}=[Al^{3+}][OH^-]^3$

$1.0\times 10^{-33}=(0.000010+S)\times (3S)^3$

$S=1.6\times 10^{-10} M$

The solubility of the aluminium hydroxide is $1.6\times 10^{-10} M$ .

3.

$Molarity=\frac{Moles}{Volume (L)}$

Mass of NaCl= 3.5 mg = 0.0035 g

1 mg = 0.001 g

Moles of NaCl = $\frac{0.0035 g}{58.5 g/mol}=6.0\times 10^{-5} mol$

Volume of the solution = 0.250 L

$[NaCl]=\frac{6.0\times 10^{-5} mol}{0.250 L}=0.00024 M$

1 mole of NaCl gives 1 mole of sodium ion and 1 mole of chloride ions.

$[Cl^-]=[NaCl]=0.00024 M$

Moles of lead (II) nitrate = n

Volume of the solution = 0.250 L

Molarity lead(II) nitrate = 0.12 M

$n=0.12 M]\times 0.250 L=0.030 mol$

1 mole of lead nitrate gives 1 mole of lead (II) ion and 2 moles of nitrate ions.

$[Pb^{2+}]=[Pb(NO_2)_3]=0.030 M$

$PbCl_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons Pb^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)$

Solubility of lead(II) chloride = $K_{sp}=1.2\times 10^{-4}$

Ionic product of the lead chloride in solution :

$Q_i=[Pb^{2+}][Cl^-]^2=0.030 M\times (0.00024 M)^2=1.7\times 10^{-9}$

$Q_i$ ( no precipitation)

The given statement is false.
