B. The time is likely between 40 - 80 seconds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

One group of students were asked to leave a whole mint in their mouth, not moving it around, and let it dissolve, which takes very long time to dissolve since there is lower frequency of collision among the saliva particles and mint.

Another group swirled a whole mint around in their mouths, so the frequency of collision between the saliva and the mint particles increases, there by increase in dissolving capacity, but the timing will be lesser when compared to other groups used mints broken into smaller pieces.

So the time for swirling is likely between 40 - 80 seconds.

The reaction favor product formation

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction is the value of its reaction quotient at chemical equilibrium. Also it is defined as the ratio of the product of concentration of products to the product of concentration of reactants each term raised to power equal their stochiometric coefficients.

so, for the reaction,

2H₂ ₍g₎ + S₂ ₍g₎ → 2H₂S ₍g₎

The equilibrium constant can be expressed as following:

$K_{eq}=\frac{[H_2S]^2}{H_2]^2\times [S_2]}$

where concentration of reactants and products is expressed in molarity Molarity=(no of moles/ Volume L)

So,

[H₂] = (0.50 mol / 1 L) = 0.50 M

[S₂] = (0.02 mol / 1 L) = 0.020 M

[H₂S] = (68.5 mol / 1 L) = 68.5 M

∴ K_{eq}=\frac{[68.5]^2}{0.50]^2\times [0.020]}=9.4*10^5

As the value of K is greater than 1, the reaction favor product formation.

allsm [11]

Answer: ammonium bromide : acidic : The pH will be less than 7.

potassium cyanide : basic :The pH will be more than 7.

calcium nitrate: neutral : The pH will be approximately equal to 7.

calcium hypochlorite : basic :The pH will be more than 7.

Explanation:

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration. The scale ranges from 0 to 14.

When a solution is acidic, it will show a pH in the range of 0 - 6.9. When a solution is basic, it will show a pH in the range of 7.1 - 14. When a solution is neutral, it will show a pH of 7.

ammonium bromide : $NH_4Br$ : acidic as it is formed from the combination of strong acid HBr and weak base $NH_4OH$

potassium cyanide : $KCN$ : basic, as it is formed from the combination of weak acid HCN and strong base KOH

calcium nitrate: $Ca(NO_3)_2$ : neutral, as it is formed from the combination of strong acid and strong base.

calcium hypochlorite : $Ca(ClO)_2$ : basic, as it is formed from the combination of weak acid $HOCl$ and strong base $Ca(OH)_2$
