Write the balanced equation for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to form water and oxygen.

1 answer:

7 0

Hydrogen peroxide is H2O2, while water is H2O and oxygen (a diatomic gas) is O2. The (unbalanced) reaction is:
H2O2 --> H2O + O2
Notice that the H2O2 has 2 H atoms, and so does H2. This means that both must have the same coefficients, and we can adjust the coefficient of O2. Since H2O2 has 2 O atoms, and H2O has 1, we multiply O2 by 1/2:
H2O2 --> H2O + (1/2)O2
This has an equivalent number of H and O atoms on either side, but we want the coefficients to be whole numbers, so we multiply everything by 2:
2H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2

What is the concentration of Htions at a pH = 11?

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:
a) 1 x 10^-11 mol/L
b) 1 x 10^-6 mol/L
c) 1 x 10^-5 fewer H+ ions

Explanation

pH stands for Power of Hydrogen, the more acidic a substance is, the more H+ ions it has rendering the substance acidic. a pH of 1 means the concentration of H+ ions is 1 x 10^-1. A pH of 7 means the concentration of H+ ions is 1 x 10^-7 and so on.

10^-11 has 10^-5 more H+ ions than 10^-6

Hope this helps :)

What is the concentration (in M) of a sample of the unknown dye with an absorbance of 0.25 at 542 nm?

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

see explanation below

Explanation:

Question is incomplete, so in picture 1, you have a sample of this question with the missing data.

Now, in general terms, the absorbance of a substance can be calculated using the beer's law which is the following:

A = εlc

Where:

ε: molar absortivity

l: distance of the light in solution

c: concentration of solution

However, in this case, we have a plot line and a equation for this plot, so all we have to do is replace the given data into the equation and solve for x, which is the concentration.

the equation according to the plot is:

A = 15200c - 0.018

So solving for C for an absorbance of 0.25 is:

0.25 = 15200c - 0.018

0.25 + 0.018 = 15200c

0.268 = 15200c

c = 0.268/15200

c = 1.76x10⁻⁵ M
