Answer:

Pretty sure its a mineral

Explanation:

Beeswax is a naturally occurring wax secreted mainly by honeybees A. mellifera, for constructing honey combs (Tulloch, 1970a). Unhydrolyzed beeswax consists of approximately 71% esters, 15% hydrocarbons, 8% free fatty acids, and 6% other components (Tulloch, 1970b).

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

The solubility of oxygen in lakes high in the Rocky Mountains is affected by the altitude. If the solubility of O2 from the air

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

$1.75\cdot 10^{-4} M$

Explanation:

Henry's law states that the solubility of a gas is directly proportional to its partial pressure. The equation may be written as:

$S = k_H p^o$

Where $k_H$ is Henry's law constant.

Our strategy will be to identify the Henry's law constant for oxygen given the initial conditions and then use it to find the solubility at different conditions.

Given initially:

$S_1 = 2.67\cdot 10^{-4} M$

Also, at sea level, we have an atmospheric pressure of:

$p = 1.00 atm$

Given mole fraction:

$\chi_{O_2} = 0.209$

According to Dalton's law of partial pressures, the partial pressure of oxygen is equal to the product of its mole fraction and the total pressure:

$p^o = \chi_{O_2} p$

Then the equation becomes:

$S_1 = k_H \chi_{O_2} p$

Solve for $k_H$ :

$k_H = \frac{S_1}{\chi_{O_2} p} = \frac{2.67\cdot 10^{-4} M}{0.209\cdot 1.00 atm} = 0.001278 M/atm$

Now we're given that at an altitude of 12,000 ft, the atmospheric pressure is now:

$p = 0.657 atm$

Apply Henry's law using the constant we found:

$S_2 = k_H \chi_{O_2} p = 0.001278 M/atm\cdot 0.209\cdot 0.657 atm = 1.75\cdot 10^{-4} M$

Two solutions are combined in a beaker. One solution contains 500.0 g of potassium phosphate and the other contains 500.0 g of c

Anna [14]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is

Two solutions are combined in a beaker. One solution contains 500.0 g of potassium phosphate and the other contains 500.0 g of calcium nitrate. A double displacement reaction occurs. What mass of each of the following substances is present when the reaction stops. A) potassium phosphate remaining B) calcium nitrate g remaining C) calcium phosphate formed D) potassium nitrate g formed

Answer:

a)84.91g

b)8.20g

c)316.4g

d)616.73g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction:

2K3PO4(aq) + 3Ca(NO3)2 (aq)-------> 6KNO3(aq) + Ca3(PO4)2(s)

Molar mass of potassium phosphate= 212.27 g/mol

Amount of potassium phosphate= 500/212.27= 2.4 moles

Molar mass of calcium nitrate= 164.088 g/mol

Amount of calcium nitrate= 500/164.088=3.05moles

a) amount of potassium phosphate reacted according to reaction equation= 2 moles

Amount of potassium phosphate remaining= 2.4-2=0.4 moles

Mass of potassium phosphate remaining= 0.4×212.27=84.91g

b) Amount of calcium nitrate reacted according to reaction equation=3

Amount of calcium nitrate remaining=3.05-3= 0.05

Mass of calcium nitrate remaining= 0.05×164.088= 8.20g

c) since calcium nitrate is the limiting reactant, we use to estimate the mass of products formed.

From the reaction equation,

3 moles of calcium nitrate yields 1 mole of calcium phosphate

3.05 moles of calcium nitrate yields 3.05/3 = 1.02 moles of calcium phosphate

Molar Mass of calcium phosphate= 310.18 g/mol

Mass of calcium phosphate produced= 1.02×310.18= 316.4g

3 moles of calcium nitrate yields 6 moles of potassium nitrate

3.05 moles of calcium nitrate yields 3.05×6/3= 6.1 moles of potassium nitrate

Molar mass of potassium nitrate = 101.1032 g/mol

Mass of potassium nitrate formed= 6.1× 101.1032= 616.73g
