Answer: The chemical formula for potassium sulfite is $K_2SO_3$

Explanation:

We are given a chemical compound having name potassium sulfite. This compound is formed by the combination of potassium ions and sulfite ions.

Potassium is the 19th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ar]4s^1$ .

This element will loose 1 electron to form $K^{+}$ ion

Sulfite ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of $SO_3^{2-}$

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

Hence, the chemical formula for potassium sulfite is $K_2SO_3$

For the reaction, 2A + B → 3C, rate of disappearance of A is 0.3 M/s in a certain time interval.What is the average rate of appe

andrezito [222]

Answer:

E) rate of appearance of C = 0.45 M/s

rate of the reaction = 0.15 M/s

Explanation:

2A + B → 3C

Writing rate law for the reaction:

Rate of reaction = - $\frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{d[A]}{dt}$ = - $\frac{d[B]}{dt}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ $\frac{d[C]}{dt}$ → equation 1

Given that the rate of disappearance of A is 0.3 M/s

⇒ - $\frac{d[A]}{dt}$ = 0.3 M/s

⇒Rate of reaction = - $\frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{d[A]}{dt}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ ×0.3 M/s

⇒Rate of reaction = 0.15 M/s

From equation 1, $\frac{d[C]}{dt}$ = - $\frac{3}{2}$ $\frac{d[A]}{dt}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$ ×0.3 M/s

⇒ $\frac{d[C]}{dt}$ = 0.45 M/s

or the rate of appearance of C = 0.45 M/s

Is baking soda acid?

otez555 [7]

Baking soda has a ph of 9. any # that has less than 7 as a ph is acid, any number that has a ph of 7 is neutral, and any number with a ph greater than seven is a base. so baking soda is not an acid but a base.
