Answer:

b) Baking soda

Explanation:

Baking soda is sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO₃.

It reacts with water according to the equation

NaHCO₃ + H₂O ⇌ H₂CO₃ + NaOH

Thus, baking soda is a base because it increases the concentration of hydroxide ions in water.

Water is neutral.

Lemon juice is an acid because it contains citric acid.

An insulator is a substance that does not conduct electricity. Insulators are neither acidic nor basic.

When the concentration of A in the reaction A ..... B was changed from 1.20 M to 0.60 M, the half-life increased from 2.0 min to

Reika [66]

Answer:

$0.4167\ \text{M}^{-1}\text{min}^{-1}$

Explanation:

Half-life

${t_{1/2}}A=2\ \text{min}$

${t_{1/2}}B=4\ \text{min}$

Concentration

${[A]_0}_A=1.2\ \text{M}$

${[A]_0}_B=0.6\ \text{M}$

We have the relation

$t_{1/2}\propto \dfrac{1}{[A]_0^{n-1}}$

$\dfrac{{t_{1/2}}_A}{{t_{1/2}}_B}=\left(\dfrac{{[A]_0}_B}{{[A]_0}_A}\right)^{n-1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{4}=\left(\dfrac{0.6}{1.2}\right)^{n-1}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}=\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^{n-1}$

Comparing the exponents we get

$1=n-1\\\Rightarrow n=2$

The order of the reaction is 2.

$t_{1/2}=\dfrac{1}{k[A]_0^{n-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{t_{1/2}[A]_0^{n-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=\dfrac{1}{2\times 1.2^{2-1}}\\\Rightarrow k=0.4167\ \text{M}^{-1}\text{min}^{-1}$

The rate constant is $0.4167\ \text{M}^{-1}\text{min}^{-1}$

A 25.0-mL sample containing Cu2+ gave an instrument signal of 25.2 units (corrected for a blank). When exactly 0.500 mL of 0.027

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The molar concentration of Cu²⁺ in the initial solution is 6.964x10⁻⁴ M.

Explanation:

The first step to solving this problem is calculating the number of moles of Cu(NO₃)₂ added to the solution:

$C = \frac{n}{V} \\0.0275 = \frac{n}{0.0005} \\$

n = 1.375x10⁻⁵ mol

The second step is relating the number of moles to the signal. We know the the n calculated before is equivalent to a signal increase of 19.9 units (45.1-25.2):

1.375x10⁻⁵ mol _________ 19.9 units

x _________ 25.2 units

x = 1.741x10⁻⁵mol

Finally, we can calculate the Cu²⁺ concentration :

C = 1.741x10⁻⁵mol / 0.025 L

C = 6.964x10⁻⁴ M

If a 250.0 mL sealed plastic bag starts out at a temperature of 19.0 °C and after sitting in the sun reaches a temperature of 60

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the pressure remains constant then the temperature and Volume are all that you have to consider.

Givens

T1 = 19oC = 19 + 273 = 292o K

T2 = 60oC = 60 + 273 = 333oK

V1 = 250 mL

V2 = x

Formula

V1/T1 = V2/T2

250/292 = x/333

Solution.

The solves rather neatly. Multiplly both sides by 333

250*333 / 292 = 333 *x / 333

Do the multiplication

250 * 333 / 292 = x

83250 / 292 = x

Divide by 292

x = 285.1 mL

The answer is D
