Water (h2o) is composed of the same elements as hydrogen peroxide (h2o2). Why do these substances have different properties?

These substances have different properties because H2O2 is negatively charged. It wants to become neutral, and for that to happen it has to be chemically combined with another element to cancel out the -2 charge of the extra oxegyn atom..

If you drank H2O2 you would die because the negative charges of the oxegyn would probably try to take iron from your blood. I think this is the reason why, when you put the H2O2 on a wound it hurts. Because it takes some iron out of your blood. Not sure about that one

The reason for this is because hydrogen peroxide has an extra oxygen atom, While both substances are made of hydrogen and oxygen, water has 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen, while hydrogen peroxide has 2 hydrogens and 2 oxygens.

Do you expect the O---O bond in H2O2 to be longer or shorter than the O---O bond in O2?
melomori [17]

Answer : The O-O bond in H_2O_2 will be longer than the O-O bond in O_2.

Explanation :

In the H_2O_2, the two oxygen atoms are bonded by the single bond and in O_2, the two oxygen atoms are bonded by the double bond.

As we know, the bond strength of double bond is greater than the single bond.

And the relation between the bond strength and bond length is,

\text{ Bond strength}\propto \frac{1}{\text{ Bond length}}

That means the higher the strength, the shorter will be the bond length.

Hence, the bond length of single bond will be longer than the double bond.

The structure of given molecule is shown below.

Consider the reaction: AB As the reaction proceeds, the concentration of A drops from 0.625 M to 0.100 Min 11.6 seconds. What is
prisoha [69]

Answer:

0.045 M/s

Explanation:

Given:

Initial concentration of A = 0.625 M

Final concentration of A = 0.100 M

Total time taken for the change of concentration = 11.6 seconds

The average rate of reaction is calculated as:

= \frac{\textup{Change in concentration of A}}{\textup{Time taken for the change}}

on substituting the respective values, we get

= \frac{0.625-0.100}{\textup{11.6}}

or

The average rate of reaction = 0.045 M/s

A radioisotope has a half-life of 4 days how much of a 20 gram sample of this radioisotope remains at the end of each time perio
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

After 4 days 10 g will left

After 8 days 5 g will left.

Explanation:

Given data:

Half life of isotope = 4 days

Total amount of sample = 20 g

Amount left after each time period = ?

Solution:

The half life of radioactive isotope is 4 days it means after 4 days the amount left will be half of total amount.

20 g/2 = 10 g

The half amount which is left will be consume in next 4 days and remaining amount will be,

10 g/2 = 5 g

After 4 days 10 g will left

After 8 days 5 g will left.
