<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

MnO2 acts as a catalyst

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Catalysts are substances that speed up chemical reactions. Catalysts are not consumed during chemical reaction. </u></em><em><u>Catalysts speed up chemical reaction by lowering activitaion energy of the reactants.</u></em>
  • Manganese dioxide catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water. Manganese dioxide is not consumed during the decomposition since it is a catalyst.
  • <em><u>Manganese speeds up the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by lowering activation energy of hydrogen peroxide.</u></em>

puteri [66]

Answer:

1. (NH₄)₂S(s) -----> NH₄+(aq) + S²-(aq)

2. Al³+ (aq) + PO₄³+ (aq) ----> AlPO₄ (s)

Explanation:

The dissociation of ammonium sulphide, (NH₄)₂S when dissolved in water is given in the equation below:

(NH₄)₂S(s) -----> NH₄+(aq) + S²-(aq)

However very little S²- ions are present in solution due to the very basic nature of the S²- ion (Kb = 1 x 105).

The ammonium ion being a better proton donor than water, donates a proton to sulphide ion to form hydrosulphide ion which exists in equilibrium with aqueous ammonia.

S²- (aq) + NH₄+ (aq) ⇌ SH- (aq) + NH₃ (aq)

Aqueous solutions of ammonium sulfide are smelly due to the release of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, hence, their use in making stink bombs.

2. The reaction between aluminium nitrate and sodium phosphatein aqueous solution is a double decomposition reaction whish results in the precipitation of insoluble aluminium phosphate. The equation of the reaction is given below :

Al(NO₃)₃ (aq) + Na₃PO₄ (aq) ----> AlPO₄ (s) + 3 NaNO₃ (aq)

The net ionic equation is given below:

Al³+ (aq) + PO₄³+ (aq) ----> AlPO₄ (s)

nadezda [96]

Answer:

Hypothesis

Explanation:

The following steps are applicable when we wish to prove a specific fact:

  • a hypothesis is made; this is a statement that we provide after some observations and we wish to either prove or deny it;
  • multiple experiments are carried out in order to gather significantly substantial amount of data that can be then further analyzed and any tendencies can be noticed;
  • based on the data gathered, conclusions are made: we either prove or deny the hypothesis. If hypothesis is proved, it may become a theory over long time.

In the context of this problem, we're at the first step where we make a hypothesis.
