A liquid compound containing only hydrogen and oxygen is placed in a flask. Two electrodes are dipped into the liquid and an ele

ctric current is passed between them. Gaseous hydrogen forms at one electrode and gaseous oxygen at the other. After a time, 14.4 mL hydrogen has evolved at the negative terminal, and 14.4 mL oxygen has evolved at the positive terminal.(a) Assign a chemical formula to the compound in the cell.(b) Explain why more than one formula is possible as the answer to part (a).

Answer:

OH

Explanation:

The chemical can be assigned the formula OH since it yielded the same volume of hydrogen and oxygen

b) different formula is possible for example consider the two equations below:

2OH → H₂ (g) + O₂(g) and

H₂O₂ → H₂ + O₂

the proportion of hydrogen is the same for both equation, the coefficient can be any number provided it yielded the same proportion.

A 52.0 g of Copper (specific heat=0.0923cal/gC) at 25.0C is warmed by the addition of 299 calories of energy. find the final tem
Leto [7]

Answer : The final temperature of the copper is, 87.29^oC

Solution :

Formula used :

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

where,

Q = heat gained  = 299 cal

m = mass of copper = 52 g

c = specific heat of copper = 0.0923cal/g^oC      

\Delta T=\text{Change in temperature} 

T_{final} = final temperature = ?

T_{initial} = initial temperature = 25^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the final temperature of copper.

299cal=52g\times 0.0923cal/g^oC\times (T_{final}-25^oC)

T_{final}=87.29^oC

Therefore, the final temperature of the copper is, 87.29^oC

In a solution the hydroxide ion concentration is 1 ✕ 10-12 M. What is the pH of the solution?
Deffense [45]

Answer:

pH = 2 and pOH = 12

Explanation:

Given [OH⁻] = 1 x 10⁻¹²M

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(1 x 10⁻¹²) = - ( -12 ) = 12

pH + pOH = 14 => pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 12 = 2

HELP FAST PLEASE! What is the limiting reactant if 43.4 g of NH3 react with 30 g of NO? The balanced equation is 4NH3 + 6NO --&g
givi [52]

The limiting reactant in the reaction is the NO molecule.

<h3>What is limiting reactant?</h3>

The limiting reactant is the reactant that is present in the least amount in the reaction. The rate of reaction depends on the limiting reactant.

Given the reaction; 4NH3 + 6NO --> 5N2 + 6H2O.

Number of moles of NH3 = 43.4 g/17 g/mol = 2.55 moles

Number of moles of NO = 30 g/30 g/mol = 1 mole

Now if 4 moles of NH3 reacts with 6 moles of NO

2.55 moles of NH3 reacts with 2.55 moles * 6 moles/ 4 moles

= 3.8 moles

Hence, the limiting reactant in this reaction is NO.
