Answer:

323.99 mg

Explanation:

We need to find the mass of the aspirin tablet that contains 5.0 grains of aspirin.

1 pound = 7000 grains

$1\ \text{grain}=\dfrac{1}{7000}\ \text{pounds}$

$5\ \text{grain}=\dfrac{1}{7000}\times 5\ \text{pounds}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{1400}\ \text{pounds}$

We know that, 1 pound = 453.592 grams

Also, 1 pound = 453592 mg

$\dfrac{1}{1400}\ \text{pounds}=\dfrac{1}{1400}\times 453592\ mg\\\\=323.99\ \text{mg}$

Hence, 4 grains of aspirin contains 323.99 mg.

g Oxidation refers to ________ Select one: a. an increase in oxidation number. b. a decrease in oxidation number. c. an increase

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The correct alternative is "Option a".

Explanation:

Oxidation has become a mechanism whereby the physicochemical properties transform attributed to the formation of O₂.

The connection involving magnesium as well as O₂ requires the oxidation of the component named magnesium.
Even before exposed to the air, silicon is oxidized as well as generates silicon dioxide.

Other possibilities are not connected to the scenario in question. So Choice A is the best option.

Concentrated hydrogen peroxide solutions are explosively decomposed by traces of transition metal ions (such as Mn or Fe): 2H2O2

zalisa [80]

Answer:

23.0733 L

Explanation:

The mass of hydrogen peroxide present in 125 g of 50% of hydrogen peroxide solution:

$Mass=\frac {50}{100}\times 125\ g$

Mass = 62.5 g

Molar mass of $H_2O_2$ = 34 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus, moles are:

$moles= \frac{62.5\ g}{34\ g/mol}$

$moles= 1.8382\ mol$

Consider the given reaction as:

$2H_2O_2_{(aq)}\rightarrow2H_2O_{(l)}+O_2_{(g)}$

2 moles of hydrogen peroxide decomposes to give 1 mole of oxygen gas.

Also,

1 mole of hydrogen peroxide decomposes to give 1/2 mole of oxygen gas.

So,

1.8382 moles of hydrogen peroxide decomposes to give $\frac {1}{2}\times 1.8382 mole of oxygen gas. Moles of oxygen gas produced = 0.9191 molGiven: Pressure = 746 torr
The conversion of P(torr) to P(atm) is shown below:
[tex]P(torr)=\frac {1}{760}\times P(atm)$

So,

Pressure = 746 / 760 atm = 0.9816 atm

Temperature = 27 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15

So,

T₁ = (27 + 273.15) K = 300.15 K

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

0.9816 atm × V = 0.9191 mol × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 300.15 K

What is the concentration of the murexide soution with a transmittance of 28.65%. (molar absorptivity = 3847)

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The concentration of the murexide solution is 0.0000745 M

Explanation:

From Beer-Lambert's law,

A = εlc

A = Absorbance = 28.65% = 0.2865

ε = molar absorptivity = 3847 M/cm

l = path length = 1cm

c = concentration in mol/L = ?

c = A/εl = 0.2865/(3847×1) = 0.0000745 mol/L

Hope this Helps!
