Question: A boy swimming in a lake smacks the surface of the water with his hand, creating sound waves that travel through the w

ater and air. Which will hear the sound sooner, a fish swimming 5 m below the surface of the water, or a bird flying 5 m above the surface of the water? Justify your answer by discussing how sound travels through a medium.

<span>The speed of sound in air is about 340 m/s, while the speed of sound in water is about 1,500 m/s. In general, sound travels faster in denser media, so the fish hears the noise first.</span>

The molar solubility of pbi2 is 1.5 103 m.
Vsevolod [243]

Answer: -

Concentration of PbI₂ = 1.5 x 10⁻³ M

PbI₂ dissociates in water as

PbI₂ ⇄ Pb²⁺ + 2 I⁻

So PbI₂ releases two times the amount of I⁻ as it's own concentration when saturated.

Thus the molar concentration of iodide ion in a saturated PbI₂ solution = [ I⁻] =

= 1.5 x 10⁻³ x 2 M

= 3 x 10⁻³ M

PbI₂ releases the same amount of Pb²⁺ as it's own concentration when saturated.

[Pb²⁺] = 1.5 x 10⁻³ M

So solubility product for PbI₂

Ksp = [Pb²⁺] x [ I⁻]²

=1.5 x 10⁻³ x (3 x 10⁻³)²

= 4.5 x 10⁻⁹

What is the molarity of a naoh solution if 39.1 ml of a 0.112 m h2so4 solution is required to neutralize a 25.0-ml sample of the
aleksandrvk [35]
The reaction between NaOH and H₂SO₄ is as follows;
2NaOH + H₂SO₄ ---> Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry  of base to acid is 2:1
NaOH is a strong acid and H₂SO₄ is a strong acid, therefore complete ionization into their respective ions takes place.
number of acid moles reacted - 0.112 M / 1000 mL/L x 39.1 mL = 0.0044 mol
the number of base moles required for neutralisation = 0.0044 x 2 = 0.0088 mol
Number of NaOH moles in 25.0 mL - 0.0088 mol
Therefore in 1000 mL  - 0.0088 mol/ 25.0 mL x 1000 mL/L = 0.352 mol/L
Therefore molarity of NaOH - 0.352 M

mafiozo [28]

Question:

Zinc metal is added to hydrochloric acid to generate hydrogen gas and is collected over a liquid whose vapor pressure is the same as pure water at 20.0 degrees C (18 torr). The volume of the mixture is 1.7 L and its total pressure is 0.987 atm. Determine the number of moles of hydrogen gas present in the sample.

A. 0.272 mol

B. 0.04 mol

C. 0.997 mol

D. 0.139 mol

E. 0.0681 mol

Answer:

The correct option is;

E. 0.0681 mol

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is

Zn + HCl = H₂ + ZnCl₂

Vapor pressure of the liquid = 18 torr = 2399.803 Pa

Total pressure of gas mixture H₂ + liquid vapor = 0.987 atm  

= 100007.775 Pa

Therefore, by Avogadro's law, pressure of the hydrogen gas is given by the following equation

Pressure of H₂ = 100007.775 Pa - 2399.803 Pa = 97607.972 Pa

Volume of H₂ = 1.7 L = 0.0017 m³

Temperature = 20 °C = 293.15 K

Therefore,

n = \frac{PV}{RT} =  \frac{100007.775 \times 0.0017 }{8.3145 \times 293.15} = 0.068078 \ moles

Therefore, the number of moles of hydrogen gas present in the sample is n ≈ 0.0681 moles.
