When Be(OH)₂ dissolves it dissociates into the following ions
Be(OH)₂ --> Be²⁺ + 2OH⁻
molar solubility is the number of moles that dissolve in 1 L of solution
If the molar solubility of Be(OH)₂ is 'x', molar solubility of Be²⁺ and OH⁻ ions are x and 2x respectively.
ksp is solubility constant for Be(OH)₂
ksp = [Be²⁺][OH⁻]²
6.92 * 10⁻²² = [x][2x]²
4x³ = 6.92 * 10⁻²²
x³ = 1.73 * 10⁻²²
x = 5.57 * 10⁻⁸ mol/L
molar solubility of Be(OH)₂ is 5.57 * 10⁻⁸ mol/L

A voltaic cell is constructed using the following half-reactions: Ag+(aq) + e- ---> Ag(s) EoAg+ = +0.80 V Cu2+(aq) + 2e- ---&
Anton [14]
- Standard reduction potential of Ag/Ag⁺ is 0.80 v and that of Cu⁺²(aq)/Cu⁰ is +0.34 V.
- The couple with a greater value of standard reduction potential will oxidize the reduced form of the other couple.
Ag⁺ will be reduced to Ag(s) and Cu⁰ will be oxidized to Cu²⁺
Anode reaction: Cu⁰(s) →  Cu²⁺ + 2 e⁻     E⁰ = +0.34 V
Cathode reaction: Ag⁺(aq) + e → Ag(s)     E⁰ = +0.80 V 
Cell reaction: Cu⁰(s) + 2 Ag⁺(aq) → Cu⁺²(aq) + 2 Ag⁰(s)
E⁰ cell = E⁰ cathode + E⁰ anode
            = 0.80 + (-0.34) = + 0.46 V

Complete combustion of a sample of a hydrocarbon on excess oxygen produces equimolar quantities of carbon dioxide and water. Whi
Bond [772]
<span>C. C4H8 Given that the number of moles of CO2 and H2O produced from the combustion are equal, that means for every carbon atom, there are 2 hydrogen atoms because CO2 has only 1 carbon atom and H2O has 2 hydrogen atoms. So let's look at the available choices and see which one is correct. A. C2H2 This is a 1 to 1 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer. B. C2H6 This is a 1 to 3 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer. C. C4H8 This is a 1 to 2 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Correct answer. D. C6H6 This is a 1 to 1 ratio of carbon to hydrogen. Wrong answer.</span>

How many grams are there in 2.00 moles of copper (ii) oxide
tatuchka [14]

Answer: 159 grams

Explanation:

Copper (ii) oxide has the chemical formula CuO.

Now given that:

Mass of CuO in grams = ? (let unknown value be Z)

Number of moles = 2.00 moles

Molar mass of CuO = ?

For the molar mass of CuO: Atomic mass of Copper = 63.5g ; Oxygen = 16g

= 63.5g + 16g

= 79.5 g/mol

Apply the formula:

Number of molecules = (mass in grams/molar mass)

2.00 moles = (Z / 79.5 g/mol)

Z = 79.5 g/mol x 2.00 moles

Z = 159g

Thus, there are 159 grams in 2.00 moles of copper (ii) oxide

A sample of air has a volume of 140.0 mL at 67C. To w
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

What that means is that when pressure and number of moles are kept constant, increasing the temperature will result in an increase in volume. Likewise, a decrease in temperature will result in a decrease in volume. In your case, the volume of the gas decreased by a factor of about 3, from "140.0 mL" to "50.0 mL".
