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.

Why is the combined cycle power generation system so much more efficient that the straight steam cycle?
rewona [7]

Answer:

  Because it uses the residual energy of the fluid used by the first engine.

Explanation:

  A combined cycle power generation counts with two heat engines that work in tandem from the same source of heat. The engines turn the energy into mechanical energy.

  The cycle is much more efficient than the other, almost 60% more.

  I hope this answer helps you.

When 1.00 g of boron is burned in o2(g) to form b2o3(s), enough heat is generated to raise the temperature of 733 g of water fro
Bas_tet [7]
<span>Answer: For this problem, you would need to know the specific heat of water, that is, the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 degree C. The formula is q = c X m X delta T, where q is the specific heat of water, m is the mass and delta T is the change in temperature. If we look up the specific heat of water, we find it is 4.184 J/(g X degree C). The temperature of the water went up 20 degrees. 4.184 x 713 x 20.0 = 59700 J to 3 significant digits, or 59.7 kJ. Now, that is the energy to form B2O3 from 1 gram of boron. If we want kJ/mole, we need to do a little more work. To find the number of moles of Boron contained in 1 gram, we need to know the gram atomic mass of Boron, which is 10.811. Dividing 1 gram of boron by 10.811 gives us .0925 moles of boron. Since it takes 2 moles of boron to make 1 mole B2O3, we would divide the number of moles of boron by two to get the number of moles of B2O3. .0925/2 = .0462 moles...so you would divide the energy in KJ by the number of moles to get KJ/mole. 59.7/.0462 = 1290 KJ/mole.</span>

The total pressure of gases a, b, and c in a closed container is 4.1 atm. if the mixture is 36% a, 42% b, and 22% c by volume, w
Natali [406]

 The  partial  pressure of  gas C  is 0.902  atm


  calculation

partial pressure of gas c  =[( percent by volume of  gas   C /  total  percent)   x total pressure]


percent  by  volume of gas C= 22%

Total   percent  = 36% +42%  + 22%  = 100 %

Total  pressure  =  4.1 atm


partial  pressure  of gas C  is therefore =  22/100 x 4.1 atm = 0.902  atm
