How long would it take for Hydrogen Peroxide to break down naturally (without an enzyme)

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Hydrogen peroxide is a very pale blue liquid at room temperature. A French scientist called Louis Auguste Thenard discovered the compound in 1818. Hydrogen peroxide can easily break down, or decompose, into water and oxygen by breaking up into two very reactive parts – either 2OHs or an H and HO2:

When heated, magnesium combines readily with excess oxygen in the air to produce magnesium oxide, as shown in the following unba

aev [14]

Answer: The given chemical reaction can be classified as synthesis and exothermic.

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction is defined as the reaction where two small chemical species combine in their elemental state to form a single large chemical species.

Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which heat is released by the reaction. The heat is written on the product side of the reaction.

For the given chemical reaction:

$Mg(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow MgO(s)+\text{heat}$

The above chemical reaction is a type of synthesis and exothermic as two substances in their elemental state are combining. Also, heat is getting released in the reaction.

Hence, the given chemical reaction can be classified as synthesis and exothermic.

The ph of 0.015 m hno2 (nitrous acid) aqueous solution was measured to be 2.63. what is the value of pka of nitrous acid?

Licemer1 [7]

Nitrous acid dissociates as follows:

HNO₂(s) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq)

According to the equation, an acid constant has the following form:

Ka = [H⁺] × [NO₂⁻ ] / [HNO₂]

From pH, we can calculate the concentration of H⁺ and NO₂⁻:

[H⁺] = 10^-pH = 10^-2.63 = 0.00234 M = [NO₂⁻]

Now, the acid constant can be calculated:

Ka = 0.00234 x 0.00234 / 0.015 = 3.66 x 10⁻⁴

And finally,

pKa = -log Ka = 3.44
