In a room full of air, the air is mainly composed of Nitrogen and Oxygen molecules (both at room temperature). Find (to two sign

ificant figures) the values of vrms for both molecules. (Eq. (20.26) relates vrms to absolute temperature.

Explanation:

Expression for the v_{rms} speed is as follows.

            v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}

where,   v_{rms} = root mean square speed

                     k = Boltzmann constant

                    T = temperature

                    M = molecular mass

As the molecular weight of oxygen is 0.031 kg/mol and R = 8.314 J/mol K. Hence, we will calculate the value of v_{rms} as follows.

               v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}

                            = \sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.02 K}{0.031 kg/mol}}

                            = 498.5 m/s

Hence, v_{rms} for oxygen atom is 498.5 m/s.

For nitrogen atom, the molecular weight is 0.028 kg/mol. Hence, we will calculate its v_{rms} speed as follows.

                v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}

                              = \sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.92 K}{0.028 kg/mol}}

                              = 524.5 m/s

Therefore, v_{rms} speed for nitrogen is 524.5 m/s.

What is the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration of a solution of pH 8?
fgiga [73]

Answer:

10−8 M.

Explanation:

In this problem we are given pH and asked to solve for the hydrogen ion concentration. Using the equation, pH = − log [H+] , we can solve for [H+] as,

− pH = log [H+] ,

[H+] = 10−pH,

by exponentiating both sides with base 10 to "undo" the common logarithm. The hydrogen ion concentration of blood with pH 7.4 is,

[H+] = 10−7.4 ≈ 0.0000040 = 4.0 × In this problem we are given pH and asked to solve for the hydrogen ion concentration. Using the equation, pH = − log [H+] , we can solve for [H+] as,

Why does bromine not react with sulphur?​
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The thermodynamic parameter which is of significance in this case is the 'Reduction Potential' for molecular bromine which is ~ +1.1 v vs N.H.E. In other words, it is a strong oxidizing agent. The bromine will oxidize sulfur compounds in which the valence of sulfur is lower than six to sulfate.

There are many possible reactions. Here is one possible example:

Na2 S2O3 + 4Br2 + 5 H2O = 2NaHSO4 + 8 HBr
