<u>Answer:</u> There are 2 oxygen atoms on the reactant side.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.

This law states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed, but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This law also means that total number of individual atoms on the reactant side will always be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

The given balanced chemical equation follows:

2H_2O\rightarrow 2H_2+O_2

<u>On reactant side:</u>

Number of hydrogen atoms = 4

Number of oxygen atoms = 2

<u>On  product side:</u>

Number of hydrogen atoms = 4

Number of oxygen atoms = 2

Hence, the number of oxygen atoms on the reactant side is equal to 2.

Blank is most if the compounds that make up living things?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

carbon

Explanation:

Carbon forms compounds that make up about 18 percent of all the matter in living things. The processes by which organisms consume carbon and return it to their surroundings constitute the carbon cycle.

Glycolic acid, which is a monoprotic acid and a constituent in sugar cane, has a pKa of 3.9. A 25.0 mL solution of glycolic acid
slava [35]

Answer:

pH of resulting solution = 7.98

Explanation:

The balanced equation  

HA + NaOH - Na+ + A- + H2O

Number of moles of A = Number of moles of HA  = Number of moles of NaOH

= 35.8/1000 * 0.020 = 0.000716 mol

Initial concentration of A = 0.000716/0.0608 = 0.01178 M

pKb = 14 – pKa = 14 -3.9 = 10.1

Kb = 10^{-Kb} = 10^{-10.1} = 7.943 * 10^-11

Kb = [HA][OH-]/[A-]

Kb = a^2/(0.01178 -a) = 7.943 * 10^-11

a^2 + 7.943 * 10^-11 a – 9.357 * 10^-13 = 0

a = 9.673 * 10^-7

OH- = a = 9.673 * 10^-7 M

pOH = -log [OH-] = -log (9.673 * 10^-7) = 6.02

pH = 14-6.02 = 7.98

Why doesn’t the KHP concentration have to be exactly 0.100M? Explain using complete sentences.
ollegr [7]

Answer:

The answer is in the explanation.

Explanation:

The KHP is an acid used as standard in titrations to find concentration of bases as NaOH.

The reaction that explain this use is:

KHP + NaOH → KNaP + H2O

<em>where 1 mole of KHP reacts per mole of NaOH</em>

That means, at equivalence point of a titration in which titrant is NaOH, the moles of KHP = Moles of NaOH added

With the moles of KHP = Moles of NaOH and the volume used by titrant we can find the molar concentration of NaOH.

The moles of KHP are obtained from the volume and the concentration as follows:

Volume(L)*Concentration (Molarity,M) = moles of KHP

If the concentration is more or less than 0.100M, the moles will be higher or lower. For that reason, we need to know the concentration of KHP but is not necessary to be 0.100M.
