Do iron (III) chloride, potassium iodide, or potassium chloride catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide?

1 answer:

3 0

Iron (III) chloride catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide because the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is usually inhibited by the presence of ions such as phosphate ions in solution. The iron ions that would result from the dissolution of iron (III) chloride have a charge of 3+ and would bond with the -3 charged phosphate ions, creating a non-charged FePO4 molecule and removing the decomposition inhibitor from the solution. Potassium iodide and potassium chloride both are more strongly bonded than a transition metal compound and would lack the necessary charged iron ion when added to hydrogen peroxide.

Manganese dioxide (MnO2(s), Hf = –520.0 kJ) reacts with aluminum to form aluminum oxide (AI2O3(s), Hf = –1699.8 kJ/mol) and mang

Temka [501]

Answer : The enthalpy of the reaction = -1839.6 KJ

Solution : Given,

$\Delta (H_{f})_{MnO_{2}}$ = -520.0 KJ/mole

$\Delta (H_{f})_{Al_{2}O_{3}}$ = -1699.8 KJ/mole

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$3MnO_{2}(s)+4Al(s)\rightarrow 2Al_{2}O_{3}(s)+3Mn(s)$

Formula used :

$\Delta (H_{f})_{reaction}=\sum n(\Delta H_{f})_{product}-\sum n(\Delta H_{f})_{reactant}$

$\Delta (H_{f})_{reaction}=(2\times \Delta H_{Al_{2}O_{3}(s)}+3\times \Delta H_{Mn(s)} )-(3\times \Delta H_{MnO_{2}(s) }+4\times\Delta H_{Al}(s))$

We know that the standard enthalpy of formation of the element is equal to Zero.

Therefore, the enthalpy of formation of (Mn) and (Al) is equal to zero.

Now, put all the values in above formula, we get

$\Delta (H_{f})_{reaction}=[2moles\times (-1699.8 KJ/mole)}+3moles\times (0\text{ KJ/mole}})]-[(3moles\times(-520.0KJ/mole }+4moles\times(0\text{ KJ/mole})]$

= (-3399.6) + (1560)

= -1839.6 KJ

Adding water to a concentrated stock solution results in the...?

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The solution becomes diluted.

Explanation:

When you add water to a solution, the number of moles of the solvent stays the same while the volume increases. Therefore, the molarity decreases.

Hope this helps!

Phosphofructokinase catalyzes the phosphorylation of fructose 6‑phosphate to fructose 1,6‑bisphosphate in glycolysis. Fructose 1

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

d. increases PFK activity, decreases FBPase activity

Explanation:

Fructose-2,6-bisphophate is formed by the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate catalyzed by phosphofructokinase-2, PFK-2.

Fructose-2,6-bisphophate functions as an allosteric effector of the enzymes phosphofructokinase-1, PFK-1 and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, FBPase.

Fructose-2,6-bisphophate has opposite effects on the enzymes, PFK-1 and FBPase. When it binds to the allosteric site of the enzyme, PFK-1, it increases the enzymes's activity by increasing its affinity for its substrate fructose-6-phosphate and reduces its affinity for its allosteric inhibitors ATP and citrate. However, when it binds to FBPase, it reduces its activity by reducing its affinity for glucose, its substrate
