Describe a polyhydroxyl alcohol.

1 answer:

8 0

With a name like poly hydroxyl alcohol, it suggests that the alcohol has more than one alcohol group. Thus any alcohol with more than one hydroxyl is a polyhydroxyl alcohol. An example that pops into mind is ethanediol (CH2OHCH2OH) this has 2 hydroxyl groups and is an alcohol, thus a polyhydroxyl alcohol

Why is copper a popular mineral? Is it in danger of depletion? Use details to support your answer.

laila [671]

Answer:

yes it is a danger.Copper doesn't break down in the environment, leading to its accumulation in plants and animals. Absorption of some copper into the body is essential for human health. Acute industrial exposure to copper fumes, dusts or mists can result in chronic copper poisoning.Copper is a mineral and an element essential to our everyday lives. It is a major industrial metal because of its high ductility, malleability, thermal and electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion. It is an essential nutrient in our daily diet.

Be sure to answer all parts. What is the [H3O+] and the pH of a buffer that consists of 0.26 M HNO2 and 0.89 M KNO2? (K, of HNO2

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer : The $H_3O^+$ ion concentration is, $1.12\times 10^{-3}M$ and the pH of a buffer is, 2.95

Explanation : Given,

$K_a=7.1\times 10^{-4}$

Concentration of $HNO_2$ (weak acid)= 0.26 M

Concentration of $KNO_2$ (conjugate base or salt)= 0.89 M

First we have to calculate the value of $pK_a$ .

The expression used for the calculation of $pK_a$ is,

$pK_a=-\log (K_a)$

Now put the value of $K_a$ in this expression, we get:

$pK_a=-\log (7.1\times 10^{-4})$

$pK_a=4-\log (7.1)$

$pK_a=3.15$

Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

$pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}$

$pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[KNO_2]}{[HNO_2]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$pH=3.15+\log (\frac{0.89}{0.26})$

$pH=2.95$

The pH of a buffer is, 2.95

Now we have to calculate the $H_3O^+$ ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H_3O^+]$

$2.95=-\log [H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=1.12\times 10^{-3}M$

The $H_3O^+$ ion concentration is, $1.12\times 10^{-3}M$

Determine how much energy is needed to change 50 g of liquid water at 100°C to steam.

marin [14]

Answer:

$Q=113,000J$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the vaporization process is carried out in order to turn a liquid into a gas due to the addition of heat, we can use the following heat equation involving the heat of vaporization of water or any other substance:

$Q=m*\Delta _{vap}H$

Thus, since this heat of vaporization for water is 2259.36 J/g, we plug in this amount to obtain the total energy for this process.

$Q=50*2259.36 J/g\\\\Q=113,000J$

Which is positive due to the necessity of heat.

Regards!
