When an unknown substance is dissolved in water, hydronium ions form. What can you conclude about the substance? @thomaster

1 answer:

5 0

HIdronium ions, H3O +, are formed as consequence of protonation of water.

The protons that cause this protonation come from acids.

Then, you can infere that the substance is an acid.

At standard temperature and pressure. 0.500 mole of xenon gas occupies

ANEK [815]

Answer:

0.500 mole of Xe (g) occupies 11.2 L at STP.

General Formulas and Concepts:

Gas Laws

STP (Standard Conditions for Temperature and Pressure) = 22.4 L per mole at 1 atm, 273 K

Stoichiometry

Mole ratio
Dimensional Analysis

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify.

0.500 mole Xe (g)

Step 2: Convert

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 0.500 \ \text{mole Xe} \bigg( \frac{22.4 \ \text{L Xe}}{1 \ \text{mole Xe}} \bigg)$
[DA] Evaluate: $\displaystyle 0.500 \ \text{mole Xe} \bigg( \frac{22.4 \ \text{L Xe}}{1 \ \text{mole Xe}} \bigg) = 11.2 \ \text{L Xe}$

Which of the following best describes an empirical formula?

Monica [59]

Answer:

Option C :

a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio

Explanation:

Empirical Formula:

Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.

So,

Tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule

For Example

C₂H₆O₂ Consist of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O)

Now

Look at the ratio of these three atoms in the compound

C : H : O

2 : 6 : 2

Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio

C : H : O

2/2 : 6/2 : 2/2

1 : 3 : 1

So for the empirical formula the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:3:1

So the empirical formula will be

Empirical formula of C₂H₆O₂ = CH₃O

So, Option C is correct :

a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio

An endergonic reaction with a Δh and Δs can be changed into an exergonic reaction.

zheka24 [161]

Full question:

This question is incomplete, here it is completed:

An endergonic reaction with a ______ ∆H and a ______ ∆S can be changed into an exergonic reaction by decreasing the temperature.

Option A: negative, positive

Option B: negative, negative

Option C: positive, positive

Option D: positive, negative

Answer:

Option B: negative, negative

Explanation:

The change in free energy (ΔG) of a system for a constant-temperature process is

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

free energy is the energy available to do work. Thus, if a particular reaction is accompanied by a release of usable energy (that is, ΔG is negative), it is said to be exergonic. On the other hand, if a reaction consumes energy (that is, ΔG is positive), it is said to be endergonic.

Looking at the equation, we can see that if ΔH is negative and ΔS is negative, then ΔG will be negative only when TΔS is smaller in magnitude than ΔH. This condition is met when T is small.

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

- -

This means that the reaction proceeds spontaneously at low temperatures. At high temperatures, the reverse reaction becomes spontaneous. An example of that would be the following reaction:

NH₃(g) + HCl(g) → NH₄Cl(s)

Both the oxygen you need to breathe and ozone are gases made only of oxygen. So why can't you survive by breathing ozone?

marshall27 [118]

Answer/Explanation: Two atoms of oxygen form the basic oxygen molecule--the oxygen we breathe that is essential to life. The third oxygen atom can detach from the ozone molecule, and re-attach to molecules of other substances, thereby altering their chemical composition.

Mass box A = 10 grams; Mass box B = 5 grams; Mass box C—made of one A and one B How many boxes of B would be required to make 30

Iteru [2.4K]

Mass box C is 10+5. (So C is 15)

But if C was 30, how many times could you put B (5) into it?

30/5 = 6

You would need 6 boxes of B to make 30 grams of C.
