Why is the thiosulfate solution stored in the dark?

1 answer:

6 0

Solutions of thiosulfate are light-sensitive. When exposed to light, they break down into <span>sulfur, sulfite, and sulfate compounds. That is why as much as possible, they must be stored in the dark. This is also the reason why they are stored in amber (dark-colored) bottles.</span>

Dissolved hydrofluoric acid reacts with dissolved sodium hydroxide to form water and aqueous sodium fluoride

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

HF(aq)+NaOH(aq)→NaF(aq)+H2O(l)

Explanation:

Complete question

Dissolved hydrofluoric acid reacts with dissolved sodium hydroxide to form water and aqueous sodium fluoride. What is the net ionic equation

Equilibrium equation between the undissociated acid and the dissociated ions

HF(aq)⇌H+(aq)+F−(aq)

Sodium hydroxide will dissociate aqueous solution to produce sodium cations, Na+, and hydroxide anions, OH−

NaOH(aq)→Na+(aq)+OH−(aq)

Hydroxide anions and the hydrogen cations will neutralize each other to produce water.

H+(aq)+OH−(aq)→H2O(l)

On combining both the equation, we get –

HF(aq)+Na+(aq)+OH−(aq)→Na+(aq)+F−(aq)+H2O(l)

The Final equation is

HF(aq)+NaOH(aq)→NaF(aq)+H2O(l)

What are standard conditions when working with gases?

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

STP in chemistry is the abbreviation for Standard Temperature and Pressure. STP most commonly is used when performing calculations on gases, such as gas density. The standard temperature is 273 K (0° Celsius or 32° Fahrenheit) and the standard pressure is 1 atm pressure.

Give the number of lone pairs around the central atom and the molecular geometry of XeF4.A)0 lone pairs, tetrahedralB)1 lone pai

vovangra [49]

Answer: 2 lone pairs, square planar

Explanation:

Using the VSEPR ( Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion)Theory

To calculate the number of lone pairs electron can be done using the formula;

Number of electrons = ½ (V+N-C+A)

V mean valency of the central atom

N means number of monovalent bonding atoms

C means charge on cation

A means charges on anion

Therefore, to calculate the number of lone pair electron C=A=0;

Number of electrons = ½ (8+4) = 12/2 = 6

Number of bonding pair = 4

Number of lone pairs of electron = 6-4 = 2

The hybridrization of the compound is sp3d2 because the number of electrons around the central atom is 6.

The geometry of the compound is square planar and this is because of the repulsion between the bonding pair of electrons and lone pair of electrons which causes the lone pair of electrons to lie in a perpendicular plane in order to acquire stability.

What’s the formula for Lithium acetate

notsponge [240]

Answer:

The formula for lithium acetate is CH3COOLi

Explanation:

The formula for lithium acetate is obtained by replacing the hydrogen atom bonding to the oxygen atom in acetic acid with Li as shown below:

CH3COOH + LiOH —> CH3COOLi + H2O
