We need to keep in mind that the compound is neutral.

H2SO3
2(+1)+S+3(-2)=0 (since its neutral)
2+S-6=0
S-4=0
S=4

Therefore the oxidation number for sulfur is +4.

hich of the following changes always leads to an increase in the rate constant for a reaction: Decreasing the temperature Decrea
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Only one—(i), or (ii), or (iii)—increases the reaction rate.

Explanation:

<em>Which of the following changes always leads to an increase in the rate constant for a reaction?</em>

  • <em>Decreasing the temperature. </em>NO. A lower temperature leads to a slower reaction because the molecules have less energy to react.
  • <em>Decreasing the activation energy</em>. YES. According to the Arrhenius equation, the lower the activation energy, the higher the rate constant.
  • <em>Making the value of ΔE more negative</em>. NO. A more negative ΔE means a reaction is more spontaneous but not faster.

In which volcanic eruption is pyroclastic materials released
juin [17]


There are many kinds of pyroclastic material ejected during a volcanic eruption. Ash is the most common pyroclastic rock material ejected during an eruption. Volcanic ash is so fine that it can be blown into the atmosphere and picked up by the jet stream where it can circle the Earth for several years.

Magnesium reacts with a certain element to form a compound with the general formula MgX. What would the most likely formula be f
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:K2X

Explanation: Valency can be defined as the combining power of an element. It is the valency that dictates the value an element will have when writing a chemical formula for its compound.

MgX is a compound of magnesium and an element X. The valency of magnesium in most of its compound is +2. Now for the 2 to have been absent in the chemical formula, this shows that the element X itself have a valency if -2 for the valencies of both to have canceled out.

Now considering the element potassium, it is an alkaline metal belonging to group 1 of the periodic table. Hence, it is expected that it has a valency of +1

Forming a compound with element X means there would be an exchange of valencies between the two. We have established that x has a valency of -2. The formula of the compound thus formed by exchanging the valencies of both element would be K2X

From the value Kf=1.2×109 for Ni(NH3)62+, calculate the concentration of NH3 required to just dissolve 0.016 mol of NiC2O4 (Ksp
Nina [5.8K]

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of NH_3 required will be 0.285 M.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of NiC_2O_4, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Moles of NiC_2O_4 = 0.016 moles

Volume of solution = 1 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molarity of }NiC_2O_4=\frac{0.016mol}{1L}=0.016M

For the given chemical equations:

NiC_2O_4(s)\rightleftharpoons Ni^{2+}(aq.)+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.);K_{sp}=4.0\times 10^{-10}

Ni^{2+}(aq.)+6NH_3(aq.)\rightleftharpoons [Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.);K_f=1.2\times 10^9

Net equation: NiC_2O_4(s)+6NH_3(aq.)\rightleftharpoons [Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.);K=?

To calculate the equilibrium constant, K for above equation, we get:

K=K_{sp}\times K_f\\K=(4.0\times 10^{-10})\times (1.2\times 10^9)=0.48

The expression for equilibrium constant of above equation is:

K=\frac{[C_2O_4^{2-}][[Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}]}{[NiC_2O_4][NH_3]^6}

As, NiC_2O_4 is a solid, so its activity is taken as 1 and so for C_2O_4^{2-}

We are given:

[[Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}]=0.016M

Putting values in above equations, we get:

0.48=\frac{0.016}{[NH_3]^6}}

[NH_3]=0.285M

Hence, the concentration of NH_3 required will be 0.285 M.

How much heat in joules is required to heat a 43g sample of aluminum from an initial temperature of 72˚F to a final temperature
Stels [109]
The first step to answering this item is to convert the given temperatures in °F to °C through the equation,

   °C = (°F - 32)(5/9)

initial temperature: 72°F

    °C = (72 - 32)(5/9) = 22.22°C

final temperature: 145°F
   
    °C = (145 - 32)(5/9) = 62.78°C

Substituting to the equation,

    H = mcpdT
    
    H = (43 g)(0.903 J/g°C)(62.78 - 22.22)
   
   H = 1574.82 J

<em>Answer: 1574.82 J</em>
