 Each particle has two possibilities: either it is on the left hand side or it is on the right hand side.  

The probability of having them equally split is  

P(100,100) = 200C100 / 2^200  

where 200C100 is the binomial coefficient.  

For the uneven distribution we have  

P= 2 * 200C160 / 2^200  

where the factor 2 comes in because we could have 160/40 or 40/160 as a division.  

So the ratio of probabilities is  

200C100 /(2 * 200C160 )  

= 2.2 * 10^16

Hope this helps!

Enough of a monoprotic acid is dissolved in water to produce a 0.0121 M solution. The pH of the resulting solution is 6.49. Calc
Hitman42 [59]
Calculate the H positive from the pH equation: pH equals -log (H positive). This would be 10 to the -6.49. Let's call the acid HA. To calculate Ka in this equation, Ka equals H positive times A- over HA. HA is going to be the 0 0121. So, Ka=(10^-6.49)^2/0.0121. This equals 1.05*10^-13/0.0121. Ka then equals 8.65*10^-12.

The reaction of solid calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid is a heterogeneous reaction (a solid with a liquid). The rate law
Umnica [9.8K]
The concentration of calcium carbonate does not appear in the rate law because it is a solid and its concentration is constant. The molar density, which is fixed, is the concentration of the solid. In this chemical reaction, only the amount of hydrochloric acid affects the rate of reaction.

2LiOH(s) + CO2(g) → Li2CO3(s) + H2O(l)
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

7.613 kg

Explanation:

Since you need a ratio of 2 moles of LiOH for each mole of CO2, you can find the mass of LiOH that you need. The first thing that you need to do is to find the number of moles that 3.575 L of carbon dioxide gas is. At STP, there are 22.4 liters of gas in a mole, meaning that there are about 0.159 moles of carbon dioxide. Multiplying this by 2 you get 0.318 moles. The molar mass of LiOH can be calculated by adding together the molar masses of each of the constituents. Lithium has a molar mass of 6.941, oxygen has a molar mass of about 16, and hydrogen a molar mass of about 1. Adding this together you get a molar mass of 23.941kg, which for 0.318 moles is just 23.941*0.318=7.613 kg. Hope this helps, and PM me with questions!

What is the volume of 0.200 mol of an ideal gas at 200 kPa and 400 K? A. 0.83 L B. 3.33 L C. 5.60 L D. 20.8 L
amid [387]
Since it is stated that it is an ideal gas, we use the ideal gas equation to solve the volume of this gas sample. The ideal gas equation is expressed as:

PV = nRT
V = nRT / P
V = 0.200 (8.314) (400) / 200x10^3
V = 3.33 x 10^-3 m³ or 3.33L

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
