5.512 litres is the volume of 15.2 grams of sulphur dioxide gas at STP.

Explanation:

Data given:

mass of sulphur dioxide = 15.2 grams

conditions is at STP whech means volume = 22.4 litres

atomic mass of sulphur dioxide = 64.06 grams/mole

Number of moles is calculated as:

number of moles = $\frac{mas}{atomic mass of 1 mole}$

Putting the values in the equation:

number of moles = $\frac{15.2}{64.06}$

= 0.23 moles

Assuming that sulphur dioxide behaves as an ideal gas, we can calculate the volume as:

When 1 mole of sulphur dioxide occupies 22.4 litres at STP

Then 0.23 moles of sulphur dioxide occupies 22.4 x 0.23

= 5.152 litres is the volume.

Compare an ionic and a molecular compound in terms of how each is formed

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Molecular compounds are pure substances formed when atoms are linked together by sharing of electrons while ionic compounds are formed due to the transfer of electrons.

Molecular compounds are made due to covalent bonding while ionic compounds are made due to ionic bonding.

Suppose the half-life is 9.0 s for a first order reaction and the reactant concentration is 0.0741 M 50.7 s after the reaction s

bazaltina [42]

Answer: The time taken by the reaction is 84.5 seconds

Explanation:

The equation used to calculate half life for first order kinetics:

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

where,

$t_{1/2}$ = half-life of the reaction = 9.0 s

k = rate constant = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{0.693}{9}=0.077s^{-1}$

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$ ......(1)

where,

k = rate constant = $0.077s^{-1}$

t = time taken for decay process = 50.7 sec

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the reactant = ?

[A] = amount left after decay process = 0.0741 M

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.077=\frac{2.303}{50.7}\log\frac{[A_o]}{0.0741}$

$[A_o]=3.67M$

Now, calculating the time taken by using equation 1:

$[A]=0.0055M$

$k=0.077s^{-1}$

$[A_o]=3.67M$

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.077=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{3.67}{0.0055}\\\\t=84.5s$

Hence, the time taken by the reaction is 84.5 seconds

In a salt solution, what happens to sodium and chloride ions?

iVinArrow [24]

In a salt solution (a solution of water (H2O) and Salt, chemical formula NaCl), the positively charged Hydrogen atoms from water form bonds with the negatively charged Chloride atoms of Salt (which is the formulate NaCl), and the negatively charged oxygen atom of water (one atom per water molecule) form a bond with the positively charged Sodium ions (Na) of salt.

Which is a chemical property of soda ash?

Ede4ka [16]

The best answer among the choices is the first option. The chemical property of soda is that it is a highly basic substance. Its chemical name is sodium carbonate. It is more basic than sodium bicarbonate. Adding soda ash in a solution would increase the pH of the solution.
