Answer:

820 K

Explanation:

As per Boltzman equation, kinetic energy (KE) is in direct relation to the temperature, measured in absolute scale Kelvin.

KE α T.

Then, the temperature at which the molecules of an ideal gas have 3 times the kinetic energy they have at any given temperature will be 3 times such temperature.

So, you must just convert the given temperature, 32°F, to kelvin scale.

You can do that in two stages.

First, convert 32°F to °C. Since, 32°F is the freezing temperature of water, you may remember that is 0°C. You can also use the conversion formula: T (°C) = [T (°F) - 32] / 1.80

Second, convert 0°C to kelvin:

T (K) = T(°C) + 273.15 K= 273.15 K

Then, 3 times gives you: 3 × 273.15 K = 819.45 K

Since, 32°F has two significant figures, you must report your answer with the same number of significan figures. That is 820 K.

If a solution has a pOH of 8.71, what is the [H+]?

TEA [102]

Answer: $5.1\times 10^{-6}M$

Explanation:

pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$pH+pOH=14$

Putting in the values:

$pH=14-8.71=5.29$

$5.29=-log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=5.1\times 10^{-6}$

Thus $[H^+]$ is $5.1\times 10^{-6}M$

Balance the following equation:

Firdavs [7]

Answer: a) $2K_2CrO_4+3Na_2SO_3+10HCl\rightarrow 4KCl+3Na_2SO_4+2CrCl_3+5H_2O$

b) 1 mole of $SO_2$ is produced.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The skeletal equation is:

$K_2CrO_4+Na_2SO_3+HCl\rightarrow KCl+Na_2SO_4+CrCl_3 +H_2O$

The balanced equation will be:

$2K_2CrO_4+3Na_2SO_3+10HCl\rightarrow 4KCl+3Na_2SO_4+2CrCl_3+5H_2O$

Thus the coefficients are 2, 3 , 10 , 4 , 3 , 2 and 5.

b) Oxidation: $2I-^-\rightarrow I_2+2e-^-$

Reduction: $SO_4^{2-}+2e^-+4H^+\rightarrow SO_2+2H_2O$

Net reaction: $2I-^-+SO_4^{2-}+4H^+\rightarrow I_2+SO_2+2H_2O$

When 1 mole of $I_2$ is produced, 1 mole of $SO_2$ is produced.
