Answer:

I. dissolving more solute in an unsaturated solution

Explanation:

A saturated solution is the solution which contains maximum concentration of solute dissolved in solvent. ​

However, if the solution is being provided with energy (heating) , it will dissolve more heat and the solution that cannot even dissolve more solute after heating is super saturated solution.

<u>Both saturated and supersaturated solutions have maximum of their capacity to dissolve the solute and hence further energy requires energy and these processes are non-spontaneous.</u>

<u>An unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute easily and thus is a spontaneous process.</u>

A sample has a pH of -0.248 (yes, it really is possible to have a negative pH). Find
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

pOH= 14.248

[H+]=1.77 M

[OH-]=5.65 x10^-15M

Explanation:

pH+pOH= 14

pOH= 14-pH

pOH=14-(-0.248)

pOH= 14.248

[H+]=10^-pH= 10^-(-0.248)=1.77 M

[OH-]=10^-pOH= 10^-14.248=5.65 x10^-15M

At equilibrium, ________. At equilibrium, ________. all chemical reactions have ceased the rate constants of the forward and rev
balandron [24]

Answer:

<em>At equilibrium, the rate of the forward, and the reverse reactions are equal.</em>

Explanation:

In an equilibrium chemical reaction, the rate of forward reaction, is equal to the rate of reverse reaction. Note that the reactions does not cease at equilibrium, but rather, the reactants are converted to product, at the same rate at which the product is also being converted into the reactants in the reaction. When chemical equilibrium is reached, a careful calculation of the value of equilibrium constant is approximately equal to 1.

NB: If the value of equilibrium constant is far far greater than 1, then the reaction will favors more of the forward reaction, and if far far less than 1, the reaction will favor more of the reverse reaction.

Metals can be highly purified using electrolysis. Which equation best reflects the overall process of purifying copper?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

A. Cu^+2(aq)cathode ---> Cu^+2(aq)anode

Explanation:

Electrolysis is the process in which current is passed through a solution thereby causing a chemical change at the anode and cathode. Copper is being purified using electrolysis by using impure copper at the anode and pure copper at the cathode. This pure and impure copper are placed in a copper(ii)sulfate electrolyte solution and dc current is made to pass through it.  The resulting changes at the anode and cathode are given by the equation:

cathode: Cu²⁺  + 2e⁻    ⇒     Cu

anode:    Cu     ⇒       Cu²⁺  + 2e⁻

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Explanation:

A substance that produces an excess of hydroxide ion (-OH) in aqueous solution.

       This is an arrhenius Base

According to the arrhenius theory, a base is a substance that combines with water to produce excess hydroxide ions, OH⁻ in an aqeous solution. Examples are :

  • Sodium hydroxide NaOH
  • Potassium hydroxide KOH

A substance that produces an excess of hydrogen ion (H+) in aqueous solution

      This is an arrhenius Acid

An arrhenius acid is a substance that reacts with water to produce excess hydrogen ions in aqueous solutions.

Examples are;

  • Hydrochloric acid HCl
  • Hydroiodic acid HI
  • Hydrobromic acid HBr

Two moles of magnesium (Mg) and five moles of oxygen (O2) are placed in a reaction vessel. When magnesium is ignited, it reacts
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{Mg is the limiting reactant}}

Explanation:

We are given the amounts of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.

We know that we will need moles, so, lets assemble the data in one place.

           2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

n/mol:    2       5

Calculate the moles of MgO we can obtain from each reactant.

From Mg:  

The molar ratio of MgO:Mg is 2:2

\text{Moles of MgO} = \text{2 mol Mg} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol MgO}}{\text{2 mol Mg}} = \text{2 mol MgO}

From O₂:  

The molar ratio of MgO:O₂ is 2:1.

\text{Moles of MgO} = \text{5 mol O}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mol MgO}}{\text{1 mol O}_{2}} = \text{10 mol MgO}\\\\\boxed{\textbf{Mg is the limiting reactant}} \text{ because it gives the smaller amount of MgO}
