Answer:

Polyhydroxyl alcohols

Explanation:

Whenever we have several C-OH bonds, we have a polyhydroxyl alcohol. For example, if we have just one alcohol group, that is, an R-OH group, then the naming is simple, say, we have EtOH, it's ethanol.

The problem becomes more complicated when we have several hydroxyl groups present in the alcohol. Let's say we have an ethane molecule and we replace the hydrogen atoms of carbon 1 and 2 with hydroxyl groups. In that case, we have 1,2-ethanediol. Similarly, we can have triols etc.

That said, we have poly (several) hydroxyl groups and we can generalize this to having polyhydroxyl alcohols.

Which describes interactions between substances and stomata during photosynthesis?

Mariulka [41]

The interaction between the substances and stomata is a chemical reaction, light energy strikes at the chlorophyll molecules, whose electrons gets excited to a state of higher energy, and they come back to their state of lower energy by emission of energy, which is accepted by a chain of acceptors, and energy is generated.

Write the chemical equations involved in this experiment and how that the rate of disappearance of [S2O8^2-] is proportional to

Ne4ueva [31]

S₂O₈²⁻

(aq) + 2I⁻

(aq) → I₂(aq) + 2SO₄

²⁻(aq)

2S₂O₃²⁻

(aq) + I₂(aq) → S₄O₆²⁻

(aq) + 2I⁻

(aq)

Explanation:

S₂O₈²⁻

(aq) + 2I⁻

(aq) → I₂(aq) + 2SO₄

²⁻(aq)

To measure the rate of this reaction we must measure the rate of concentration change of one of the reactants or products. To do this, we will include (to the reacting S₂O₈

²⁻ and I⁻

i) a small amount of sodium thiosulfate, Na₂S₂O₃,

ii) some starch indicator.

The added Na₂S₂O₃ does not interfere with the rate of above reaction, but it does consume the I₂ as soon as it is formed.

2S₂O₃²⁻

(aq) + I₂(aq) → S₄O₆²⁻

(aq) + 2I⁻

(aq)

This reaction is much faster than the previous, so the conversion of I2 back to I⁻ is essentially instantaneous.

$rate = \frac{dI2}{dt} = \frac{1/2 [S2O3^2^-]}{t}$

Calculate the solubility of hydrogen in water at an atmospheric pressure of 0.380 atm (a typical value at high altitude).

Pani-rosa [81]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Calculate the solubility of hydrogen in water at an atmospheric pressure of 0.380 atm (a typical value at high altitude).

Atmospheric Gas Mole Fraction kH mol/(L*atm)

$N_2$ $7.81\times 10^{-1}$ $6.70\times 10^{-4}$

$O_2$ $2.10\times 10^{-1}$ $1.30\times 10^{-3}$

Ar $9.34\times 10^{-3}$ $1.40\times 10^{-3}$

$CO_2$ $3.33\times 10^{-4}$ $3.50\times 10^{-2}$

$CH_4$ $2.00\times 10^{-6}$ $1.40\times 10^{-3}$

$H_2$ $5.00\times 10^{-7}$ $7.80\times 10^{-4}$

Answer: The solubility of hydrogen gas in water at given atmospheric pressure is $1.48\times 10^{-10}M$

Explanation:

To calculate the partial pressure of hydrogen gas, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

$p_{\text{hydrogen gas}}=p_T\times \chi_{\text{hydrogen gas}}$

where,

$p_A$ = partial pressure of hydrogen gas = ?

$p_T$ = total pressure = 0.380 atm

$\chi_A$ = mole fraction of hydrogen gas = $5.00\times 10^{-7}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$p_{\text{hydrogen gas}}=0.380\times 5.00\times 10^{-7}\\\\p_{\text{hydrogen gas}}=1.9\times 10^{-7}atm$

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

$C_{H_2}=K_H\times p_{H_2}$

where,

$K_H$ = Henry's constant = $7.80\times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm$

$p_{H_2}$ = partial pressure of hydrogen gas = $1.9\times 10^{-7}atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$C_{H_2}=7.80\times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm\times 1.9\times 10^{-7}atm\\\\C_{CO_2}=1.48\times 10^{-10}M$

Hence, the solubility of hydrogen gas in water at given atmospheric pressure is $1.48\times 10^{-10}M$
