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.

Given the chemical formulas of the following compounds, name each compound and state the rules you used to determine each name.
Svetlanka [38]
When naming an ionic compound, write the name of the cation, which is the metal first. Then, write the name of the anion, which is the nonmetal. However, you remove the last 2-3 letters and replace suffixes. 

1. RbF --> Rubidium Fluoride
Change fluorine to fluoride
2. CuO --> Copper (II) Oxide
Change oxygen to oxide. Oxide has a charge of -2. Since no subscripts are written, it means they have the same opposite charge. So, we use Copper (II).

Four oranges were placed in a series circuit. Approximately what voltage did this produce?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Four times the original amount if only one orange was used

Explanation:

We can assume that the oranges all have equal voltages. Connecting them in series will have an increasing effect on the voltage delivered. In our case, this will produce 4 times the voltage of the circuit when only one orange is used.

Whenever simple cells are connected in series, the voltages of the individual cells are added up to form the voltage of the whole circuit.

Let us assume that the voltage of each of the oranges is approximately 0.9 volts. The Voltage produced when the 4 oranges are joined in series is 0.9 + 0.9 + 0.9 + 0.9 = 3.6 volts

In a 0.730 M solution, a weak acid is 12.5% dissociated. Calculate Ka of the acid.
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Approximately 1.30 \times 10^{-2}, assuming that this acid is monoprotic.

Explanation:

Assume that this acid is monoprotic. Let \rm HA denote this acid.

\rm HA \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + A^{-}.

Initial concentration of \rm HA without any dissociation:

[{\rm HA}] = 0.730\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}.

After 12.5\% of that was dissociated, the concentration of both \rm H^{+} and \rm A^{-} (conjugate base of this acid) would become:

12.5\% \times 0.730\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} = 0.09125\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}.

Concentration of \rm HA in the solution after dissociation:

(1 - 12.5\%) \times 0.730\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} = 0.63875\; \rm mol\cdot L^{-1}.

Let [{\rm HA}], [{\rm H}^{+}], and [{\rm A}^{-}] denote the concentration (in \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} or \rm M) of the corresponding species at equilibrium. Calculate the acid dissociation constant K_{\rm a} for \rm HA, under the assumption that this acid is monoprotic:

\begin{aligned}K_{\rm a} &= \frac{[{\rm H}^{+}] \cdot [{\rm A}^{-}]}{[{\rm HA}]} \\ &= \frac{(0.09125\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}) \times (0.09125\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1})}{0.63875\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}}\\[0.5em]&\approx 1.30 \times 10^{-2} \end{aligned}.

Balloon has a volume of 600-ml at temperature of 360 K. If the temperature of
Molodets [167]

Answer:

V₂ ≈416.7 mL

Explanation:

This question asks us to find the volume, given another volume and 2 temperatures in Kelvin. Based on this information, we must be using Charles's Law and the formula. Remember, his law states the volume of a gas is proportional to the temperature.

  • V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂

where V₁ and V₂ are the first and second volumes, and T₁ and T₂ are the first and second temperature.

The balloon has a volume of 600 milliliters and a temperature of 360 K, but the temperature then drops to 250 K. So,

  • V₁= 600 mL
  • T₁= 360 K
  • T₂= 250 K

Substitute the values into the formula.

  • 600 mL /360 K = V₂ / 250 K

Since we are solving for the second volume when the temperature is 250 K, we have to isolate the variable V₂. It is being divided by 250 K. The inverse o division is multiplication, so we multiply both sides by 250 K.

  • 250 K * 600 mL /360 K = V₂ / 250 K * 250 K
  • 250 K * 600 mL/360 K = V₂

The units of Kelvin cancel, so we are left with the units of mL.

  • 250 * 600 mL/360=V₂
  • 416.666666667 mL= V₂

Let's round to the nearest tenth. The 6 in the hundredth place tells us to round to 6 to a 7.

  • 416.7 mL ≈V₂

The volume of the balloon at 250 K is approximately 416.7 milliliters.
