What do subscripts represent in a chemical formula?

1 answer:

8 0

The numbers appearing as subscripts indicate the number of atoms of the element immediately before the subscript. So when you see H2O, you know there are two hydrogens because a two follows the H.

As a scuba diver descends under water, the pressure increases. At a total air pressure of 2.71 atm and a temperature of 25.0 C,

Semenov [28]

Answer:

$1.32\times 10^{-3} mol/L$ is the solubility of nitrogen gas in a diver's blood.

Explanation:

Henry's law states that the amount of gas dissolved or molar solubility of gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the liquid.

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

$C_{N_2}=K_H\times p_{liquid}$

where,

$K_H$ = Henry's constant = $6.26 \times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm$

$p_{N_2}$ = partial pressure of nitrogen

$p_{N_2}= P\times \chi_{N_2}$ (Raoult's law)

$=2.71 atm\times 0.78=2.1138 atm$

$C_{N_2}=6.26 \times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm\times 2.1138 atm$

$C_{N_2}=1.32\times 10^{-3} mol/L$

$1.32\times 10^{-3} mol/L$ is the solubility of nitrogen gas in a diver's blood.

Sum of brother and sisters age is 26. Four times the brothers age is subtracted from three times the sisters age, the difference

lana66690 [7]

Answer : The ages of the brother and sister are, 10 and 16 years respectively.

Solution :

Let the age of brother be 'x' and the age of sister be 'y'

There are two equations formed which are,

x + y = 26 ..........(1)

3y - 4x = 8 ..........(2)

First we have to multiple equation (1) by 4 and then added equation (1) and (2), we get the value of 'y'.

$4x+4y+3y-4x=8+26\\\\7y=112\\\\y=16$

Now put the value of 'y' in equation (2), we get the value of 'x'

3(16) - 4x = 8

4x = 40

x = 10

The age of brother = x = 10 years

The age of sister = y = 16 years

Therefore, the ages of the brother and sister are, 10 and 16 years respectively.

(b) What is the pH of 0.40 M triethylammonium chloride, CH₃ (CH₂)₃ NHCl ?

Valentin [98]

pH of 0.40M triethylammonium chloride is 5.90.

A solution's acidity may be determined by looking at its pH, which is a measurement of hydrogen ion concentration. Pure water slightly separates into ions with roughly equal amounts of hydrogen and hydroxyl (OH) ions. [H+] is 107 for a neutral solution, or pH = 7.

<h3>Given : </h3>

Concentration of triethylammonium chloride = 0.40M

pH = ?

<h3>Solution: </h3>

(CH3CH2)3NHCl ------> (CH3CH2)3NH⁺ + Cl⁻

(CH3CH2)3NH⁺ will react with water to give H3O⁺ .

(CH3CH2)3N will have a Kb = 5.2 x 10 ^(-4)

Kw = Kb x Ka

=> Ka = Kw / Kb = 10^(-14) / 5.2 x 10 ^(-4)

=> Ka = 1.92 x 10^(-11)

so by the reaction we have ,

Ka = x²/(0.40 - x)

=> x = 1.2393 x 10 ^(-6)

now, pH = -log( [H3O⁺]) = - log ( 1.2393 x 10 ^(-6)) = 5.906

Which shows the potential energy of particles in three substances, from least to greatest? liquid, solid, gas liquid, gas, solid

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Gas liquid solid

Explanation:

gases have a weak potential since they have a weak bond between molecules while in solids it's the strongest making them vibrate in a fixed position
