Answer:

Molarity is a unit that measures how much moles of solute dissolved in a liter of solvent. Molarity expressed using capital M while molarity, a different unit, expressed using lower case m.

We want to make 0.005 M solution which means we need 0.005 moles of KmnO4 per liter of water. First, we have to calculate how many grams of KMnO4 we need for the solution.

We want to make 250ml solution, so the number of moles of KMnO4 we need will be: 0.005 mol/liter *(250 ml * 1liter/1000ml)= 0.005 mol/liter * 1/4 liter = 0.00125 moles

The molecular mass of KMnO4 is 158g/mol, so the mass of KMnO4 we need will be: 0.00125 moles * 158g/mol= 0.1975 grams

We know that we need 0.1975 g of KMnO4, now we weigh them and put it inside a dish. After that, we prepare Erlenmeyer or a volumetric flask filled with water half of the volume needed(125ml). Pour the weighted solute into the flask, stir until all solute dissolved.

Then we add water to the container slowly until its volume reaches the 250ml mark.

Work done by a system is positive or negative?

saul85 [17]

The internal energy has the symbol U. Q is positive if heat is added to the system, and negative if heat is removed;

....."W is positive if work is done by the system"........

and negative if work is done on the system.

So, work done by a system is positive.

The value of the equilibrium constant K depends on: I. the initial concentrations of the reactants. II. the initial concentratio

Elden [556K]

Answer:

None of these

Explanation:

For a reaction;

aA + bB ------>cC + dD

The equilibrium constant K is given as;

K = [C]^c [D]^d/[A]^a [B]^b

The equilibrium constant neither depends on the concentrations of the reactants nor on that of the products.

Let us recall that at equilibrium, the concentrations of reactants and products remain largely constant. This implies that, concentration of species do not appreciably change at equilibrium because the rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal.

Hence, the equilibrium constant neither depends on the initial/final concentrations of the reactants nor on the initial/final concentrations of the products.

What is an orbital??

swat32

Explanation:

In chemistry and quantum mechanics, an orbital is a mathematical function that describes the wave-like behavior of an electron, electron pair, or (less commonly) nucleons. An orbital may also be called an atomic orbital or electron orbital. Although most people think of an "orbit" regarding a circle, the probability density regions that may contain an electron may be spherical, dumbbell-shaped, or more complicated three-dimensional forms.
