The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation represent

1 answer:

8 0

The coefficients in a chemical equation represent the molar ratio of the substances.

For example, if an equation says 2H2 + O2 ⇒ 2H2O, it means
2 moles of H2 + 1 mol of O2 ⇒ 2 moles of H2O.

What is the concentration (in M) of a 225ml potassium sulfate solution that contains 4.15g of potassium?

mars1129 [50]

The concentration of solution in M or mol/L can be calculated using the following formula:

$C=\frac{n}{V}$ .... (1)

Here, n is number of moles and V is volume of solution in L.

The molecular formula of potassium sulfate is $K_{2}SO_{4}$ thus, there are 2 moles of potassium in 1 mol of potassium sulfate.

1 mol of potassium will be there in 0.5 mol of potassium sulfate.

Mass of potassium is 4.15 g, molar mass is 39.1 g/mol.

Number of moles can be calculated as follows:

$n=\frac{m}{M}$

Here, m is mass and M is molar mass

Putting the values,

$n=\frac{(4.15 g}{(39.1 g/mol}=0.1061 mol$

Thus, number of moles of $K_{2}SO_{4}$ will be $0.1061\times 0.5=0.053 mol$ .

The volume of solution is 225 mL, converting this into L,

$1 mL=10^{-3}L$

Thus,

$225 mL=0.225 L$

Putting the values in equation (1),

$C=\frac{(0.053 mol}{0.225 L}=0.236 M$

Therefore, concentration of potassium sulfate solution is 0.236 M.

A form of electricity which can attract things

qwelly [4]

A form of electricity which can attract things is static electricity. Static electricity is the result of an imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object. These charges built up o the surface of an object until they find a way to e released or discharged causing the attraction of things.

What additional tests would be needed to establish the exact position of hydrogen?

Gemiola [76]

The question above is incomplete, the full question is given below:
What additional test would be needed to establish the exact position of hydrogen in the activity series of the following elements: magnesium, zinc, lead, copper and silver.

ANSWER
The position of hydrogen on a reactivity series can be determined by its ability to displace oxygen from the oxide of the metal concerned. If hydrogen is more reactive than a metal, it will displace oxygen from the metal oxide and reduce the metal oxide to its metal. If the metal is more reactive than hydrogen, hydrogen will not be able to reduce the metal oxide to its metal.
