<u>Answer:</u> By using litmus paper.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Litmus paper is an indicator which helps us to determine the solution as acidic or basic. These are of two types: red litmus paper and Blue litmus paper.

Red litmus paper is resistant to Acidic solution but it changes its color to blue when dipped in basic solution.

Blue litmus paper is resistant to Basic solution but it changes its color to red when dipped in acidic solution.

Hence, we can use litmus paper to test whether the unknown solution is acidic or basic.

30 POINTS! ----- How many moles of oxygen gas are needed to completely react with 145 grams of aluminum? Report your answer with

gladu [14]

First a balanced reaction equation must be established:
$4Al _{(s)} + 3 O_{2} _{(g)}$ → $2 Al_{2} O_{3}$

Now if mass of aluminum = 145 g
the moles of aluminum = (MASS) ÷ (MOLAR MASS) = 145 g ÷ 30 g/mol
= 4.83 mols

Now the mole ratio of Al : O₂ based on the equation is 4 : 3
[4Al + 3 O₂ → 2 Al₂O₃]

∴ if moles of Al = 4.83 moles
then moles of O₂ = (4.83 mol ÷ 4) × 3
= 3.63 mol (to 2 sig. fig.)

Thus it can be concluded that 3.63 moles of oxygen is needed to react completely with 145 g of aluminum.

What is the mass of water necessary to generate 11.2 L of hydrogen gas if calcium metal reacts with water at standard temperatur

12345 [234]

Answer:

The mass of water is 18 g

Explanation:

The reaction of calcium with water can be represented in the equation below:

Ca + 2H₂O --------->Ca(OH)₂ +H₂

1 Mole of gas at STP = 22.4L

From the displacement reaction above, calculate the mass of water that will produce 22.4L of hydrogen gas at STP.

Mass of 2H₂O = 2(2x1 + 16) = 2X18 = 36 g/mol

Using proportional analysis;

36 g of 2H₂O produced 22.4 L of H₂, then

what mass of 2H₂O will produce 11.2L of H₂ ?

Mathematically,

22.4 L ----------------------------------> 36g

11.2 L -----------------------------------> ?

Cross and multiply, to obtain the expression below

= (11.2 X 36)/22.4

= 18 g

Therefore, the mass of water is 18 g

X-rays had a frequency of about 3x10^18 determine it's wavelength (in nm) and energy per photon

Serggg [28]

Answer:

E = 19.89×10⁻¹⁶ J

λ = 1×10⁻¹ nm

Explanation:

Given data:

Frequency of xray = 3×10¹⁸ Hz

Wavelength of xray = ?

Energy of xray = ?

Solution:

speed of wave = wavelength × frequency

speed = 3×10⁸ m/s

3×10⁸ m/s = λ ×3×10¹⁸ s⁻¹

λ = 3×10⁸ m/s / 3×10¹⁸ s⁻¹

λ = 1×10⁻¹⁰m

m to nm:

λ = 1×10⁻¹⁰m×10⁹

λ = 1×10⁻¹ nm

Energy of x-ray:

E = h.f

h = plancks constant = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js

by putting values,

E = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ Js ×3×10¹⁸ s⁻ ¹

E = 19.89×10⁻¹⁶ J

Ulfur dioxide gas can react in the presence of oxygen and vanadium(V) oxide to form sulfur trioxide. Sulfur trioxide is the only

LenaWriter [7]

According to the illustration, the vanadium (V) oxide would be a catalyst.

<h3>What are catalysts?</h3>

Catalysts are substances that are utilized in reactions that are not themselves consumed in reactions but only speed up the rate of the reactions.

Catalysts speed up the rate of reactions by lowering the activation energy of the reactants.

Sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen to produce sulfur trioxide. The vanadium (v) oxide is not consumed in the reaction. Thus it only serves as a catalyst.
