If a reaction occurs when a piece of metal is placed in a solution, what can you conclude about the solution?

1 answer:

4 0

Hello!

If a reaction occurs when a piece of metal is placed in a solution, you can conclude that the solution is probably acidic because bases rarely react with metals.

Strong Acids, like HCl, react with metals to produce salts and release gaseous hydrogen (H₂) which is evidenced by the generation of bubbles in the solution. The general chemical equation for this kind of reactions for a metal M and an acid HA is:

2M(s) + 2HA(aq) → 2MA(aq) + H₂(g)

Have a nice day!

Calculate the molarity of 48.0 mL of 6.00 M H2SO4 diluted to 0.250 L

const2013 [10]

Answer:

The answer is 1.15m.

Since molality is defined as moles of solute divided by kg of solvent, we need to calculated the moles of H2SO4 and the mass of the solvent, which I presume is water.

We can find the number of H2SO4 moles by using its molarity

C=nV→nH2SO4=C⋅VH2SO4=6.00molesL⋅48.0⋅10−3L=0.288

Since water has a density of 1.00kgL, the mass of solvent is

m=ρ⋅Vwater=1.00kgL⋅0.250L=0.250 kg

Therefore, molality is

m=nmass.solvent=0.288moles0.250kg=1.15m

What is the molar mass of 37.96 g of gas exerting a pressure of 3.29 on the walls of a 4.60 L container at 375 K?

Phantasy [73]

The molar mass of the gas is 77.20 gm/mole.

Explanation:

The data given is:

P = 3.29 atm, V= 4.60 L T= 375 K mass of the gas = 37.96 grams

Using the ideal Gas Law will give the number of moles of the gas. The formula is

PV= nRT (where R = Universal Gas Constant 0.08206 L.atm/ K mole

Also number of moles is not given so applying the formula

n= mass ÷ molar mass of one mole of the gas.

n = m ÷ x ( x molar mass) ( m mass given)

Now putting the values in Ideal Gas Law equation

PV = m ÷ x RT

3.29 × 4.60 = 37.96/x × 0.08206 × 375

15.134 = 1168.1241 ÷ x

15.134x = 1168.1241

x = 1168.1241 ÷ 15.13

x = 77.20 gm/mol

If all the units in the formula are put will get cancel only grams/mole will be there. Molecular weight is given by gm/mole.

A reasonable pka for a weak base is: 10.3 0.9 5.8 7.4 13.1

andriy [413]

Answer:

0.9

Explanation:

The pka represents the force by which the molecules need to dissociate for the acids ,

Hence , lower the pka stronger will be the acid and that therefore will dissociate completely and vice versa , for a weak acid higher the pka .

And in case of a base , it will be completely reversed , lower pKa , weaker base ,

and higher pKa , stronger base .

From the data of the question ,

0.9 is the lowest value of the pKa , hence , weakest base .

The functional structure of a protein is its _________________ structure, which is ultimately determined by the ________________

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The tertiary structure of proteins is related to the interactions between the amino acids of the primary structure. Thus, these interactions give it a specific three-dimensional configuration which is very sensitive to functionality.

For example, allosteric inhibitions are related to this concept. When the inhibitor changes the tertiary structure of the protein it loses all activity and for the catalysis of the reaction.

Thus, the primary structure (which is related to the specific sequence of amino acids) will determine the tertiary structure since the chain folds will be a consequence of intra-amino acid interactions.
