Where would the hydrogen ion (h+) [or the hydronium ion (h3o+)] and the hydroxide ion (oh-) come from?

1 answer:

3 0

The ions charge comes from the number of valence electrons. All elements excluding transition metals want to have 8 valence electrons. The first 3 groups will try to lose electrons to get to 8 where as the 5, 6, and 7 ones will try to gain electrons. Hydrogen is to small to get 8 electrons so it settles for 2 like helium because helium is a noble gas. oxygen needs 2 electrons and hydrogen gives one thats hy H is positive H3O is positive and OH is nwgitive.

Real life example of when temperature increases, then the pressure increases.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

Tyre

In cold weather, you might have regularly kept a check on the pressure of the tyres of your car. Driving increases the temperature of the tyres, and, therefore, the air inside the tyre warms and expands. When you measure the pressure of the tyres at the time when you have just driven the car, it will be high. However, in cold weather, the pressure of the tyres will be low. So, it is recommended that you should always measure the pressure of the tyres.

Why are fixed resistors’ values indicated by color bands rather than printing the numeric value on their exterior?

gladu [14]

Because there are so many different values of numbers, it would be impractical to use 1Ω, 2Ω, 3Ω... etc... Using colored bands helps make reading it a little easier to the trained eye. There are hundreds of thousands, if not tens of millions of different resistors would need to exist to cover every value. So you just use something called "preferred values" with their resistance values posted on them instead.

The combustion of propane may be described by the chemical equation C 3 H 8 ( g ) + 5 O 2 ( g ) ⟶ 3 CO 2 ( g ) + 4 H 2 O ( g ) C

Kipish [7]

Answer: 72 grams of $O_2(g)$ are needed to completely burn 19.7 g $C_3H_8(g)$

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Putting in the values we get:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{19.7g}{44g/mol}=0.45moles$

$C_3H_8(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+4H_2O(g)$

According to stoichiometry:

1 mole of $C_3H_8$ requires 5 moles of oxygen

0.45 moles of $C_3H_8$ require= $\frac{5}{1}\times 0.45=2.25$ moles of oxygen

Mass of $O_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=2.25\times 32=72g$

72 grams of $O_2(g)$ are needed to completely burn 19.7 g $C_3H_8(g)$

At 333 k, which of the pairs of gases below would have the most nearly identical rates of effusion?

rjkz [21]

E. co and n2Effusion is the process where gas escapes through a hole. Gases with a lower molecular mass effuse more speedy than gases with a higher molecular mass. Relative rates of effusion is related to the molecular mass.
a) M(N₂)/M(O₂) = 28/32 = 0,875
b) M(N₂O)/M(NO₂) = 44/46 = 0,956
c) M(CO)/M(CO₂) = 28/44 = 0,636
d) M(NO₂)/M(N₂O₂) = 44/58= 0,758
e) M(CO)/M(N₂) = 28/28 = 1, CO and N₂ have iexact molecular masses and will effuse at nearly identical rates.
