Answer:

2H2O2(aq)→ 2H2O(l) O2(g) : The oxidation number of oxygen for each compound is -1, -2, 0

Explanation:

In peroxides the oxidation state of oxygen is -1, since one oxygen bonds to the other oxygen and a hydrogen and the bound oxygen captures the electron of the remaining hydrogen. Through a scheme would be

H --- O --- O --- H

We remember that oxygen needs two electrons to get to have the configuration of the nearest noble gas (Lewis octet rule). In Peroxides, the oxygen is linked by covalent bonds. If we take it strictly, peroxide is a grouping of two oxygen, having the whole valence -2. which is why it is usually said that it is when oxygen has a valence -1

As we said the oxidation state is -2, the one that appears in the water molecule, since Hydrogen acts with valence +1 and it is 2 atoms that give up electrons to compensate for oxygen.

In the O2 it acts with valence 0 since we talk about gas in its elementary state. All diatomic molecules in their elemental state, generally gases or metals in solid state, act with a valence of 0.

What is the final volume (l) of a 10.0 l system that has the pressure quartered?
mihalych1998 [28]
According to Boyle's Law, P1V1 = P2V2

where P1 and V1 are initial pressure and volume respectively. P2 and V2 are final pressure and volume receptively.

Given: P2 = 4 P1 and V1 = 10.0l

∴ V2 = 2.5 l

Answer: Final volume of system is 2.5 l

Which particles have a similar relative mass
olganol [36]

Answer:

c ) protons and neutrons

Explanation:

Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, but they are both much more massive than electrons (approximately 2,000 times as massive as an electron). The positive charge on a proton is equal in magnitude to the negative charge on an electron.

has a standard free‑energy change of − 3.59 kJ / mol at 25 °C. What are the concentrations of A , B , and C at equilibrium if, a
Mamont248 [21]

Answer: The concentrations of A , B , and C at equilibrium are 0.1583 M, 0.2583 M, and 0.1417 M.

Explanation:

The reaction equation is as follows.

               A + B \rightarrow C

Initial :     0.3   0.4          0

Change:  -x       -x           x

Equilbm: (0.3 - x)  (0.4 - x)  x  

We know that, relation between standard free energy and equilibrium constant is as follows.

      \Delta G = -RT ln K

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

      \Delta G = -RT ln K

      -3.59 kJ/mol = -8.314 \times 10^{-3} kJ/mol K ln (\frac{x}{(0.3 - x)(0.4 - x)})

                x = 0.1417

Hence, at equilibrium

  •  [A] = 0.3 - 0.1417

       = 0.1583 M

  •  [B] = 0.4 - 0.1417

       = 0.2583 M

  •  [C] = 0.1417 M
