The chemical formula of oxalic is H_{2}C_{2}O_{4}

When oxalic acid reacts with water, first, oxalic acid removes one proton and results in the formation of mono acids.

After that, in second step, oxalic acid in aqueous solution removes another proton which shows it is a polyprotic acid.

The chemical equations are: (the reactions occurs in two steps due to presence to hydrogen atoms).

When one proton is removed:

H_{2}C_{2}O_{4} (aq)+H_{2}O (l)\rightarrow HC_{2}O_{4}^{-}(aq)+H_{3}O^{+}(aq)

When another proton is removed:

HC_{2}O_{4}^{-} (aq)+H_{2}O (l)\rightarrow C_{2}O_{4}^{2-}(aq)+H_{3}O^{+}(aq)

The dissociation of oxalic acid in water in shown in the image.

You drop a rock weighing 23.2 g into a graduated cylinder that contains 55 mL. The level of the water rises to 62 mL. What is th
ra1l [238]

The density of the rock is 3.314g/mL

CALCULATE DENSITY:

  • According to this question, a rock weighs 23.2g. After dropping the rock into a graduated cylinder containing 55mL of water, the level changes to 62mL.

  • This means that the volume of the rock can be calculated as follows:

Volume of rock = 62mL - 55mL

Volume of rock = 7mL

Density can be calculated using the formula as follows:

Density = mass ÷ volume

Density = 23.2 ÷ 7

Density = 3.314g/mL

Therefore, the density of the rock is 3.314g/mL

A sound wave is traveling at 331 m/s and has a frequency of 126 Hz. What is the wavelength?​
damaskus [11]
<h2>Answer</h2>

2.626984127 m

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h2></h2>

You have to know the equation that relates wavelength, frequency, and velocity (it's like speed but a bit different).

v = f x λ

where:

v = velocity

f = frequency

λ = Wavelength

Rearrange to make λ subject:

λ = v / f

We've been given 331 as the speed, 126 as the frequency. Sub it into the equation:

331 / 126 = 2.626984127 m
