Answer:

Explanation:

The major difference between pure and applied chemistry is the purpose and intent of the study.

Pure chemistry deals with the study of matter, matter transformations, and interactions between the different materials of the world, for only the sake of gaining empirical knowledge about the various substances that exist in the world. It does not really seek to apply this knowledge to do anything industrial.

Applied chemistry is the study of chemistry with the aim of utilizing this knowledge to solve the various problems that man faces. This approach of study is not for knowledge sake alone, rather it is for industrial application

Enough of a monoprotic weak acid is dissolved in water to produce a 0.0144 0.0144 M solution. The pH of the resulting solution i

alexdok [17]

Answer:

The value of dissociation constant of the monoprotic acid is $1.099\times 10^{-3}$ .

Explanation:

The pH of the solution = 2.46

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

$2.46=-\log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=0.003467 M$

$HA\rightleftharpoons H^++A^-$

Initially

0.0144 0 0

At equilibrium

(0.0144-x) x x

The expression if an dissociation constant is given by :

$K_a=\frac{[A^-][H^+]}{[HA]}$

$K_a=\frac{x\times x}{(0.0144-x)}$

$x=[H^+]=0.003467 M$

$K_a=\frac{0.003467 \times 0.003467 }{(0.0144-0.003467 )}$

$K_a=1.099\times 10^{-3}$

The value of dissociation constant of the monoprotic acid is $1.099\times 10^{-3}$ .

A 32.2 g iron rod, initially at 21.9 C, is submerged into an unknown mass of water at 63.5 C. in an insulated container. The fin

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer : The mass of the water in two significant figures is, $3.0\times 10^1g$

Explanation :

In this case the heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

$q_1=-q_2$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)$

where,

$c_1$ = specific heat of iron metal = $0.45J/g^oC$

$c_2$ = specific heat of water = $4.18J/g^oC$

$m_1$ = mass of iron metal = 32.3 g

$m_2$ = mass of water = ?

$T_f$ = final temperature of mixture = $59.2^oC$

$T_1$ = initial temperature of iron metal = $21.9^oC$

$T_2$ = initial temperature of water = $63.5^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

$32.3g\times 0.45J/g^oC\times (59.2-21.9)^oC=-m_2\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (59.2-63.5)^oC$

$m_2=30.16g\approx 3.0\times 10^1g$

Therefore, the mass of the water in two significant figures is, $3.0\times 10^1g$

The molar mass of I2 is 253.80 g/mol, and the molar mass of NI3 is 394.71 g/mol. How many moles of I2 will form 3.58 g of NI3?

Nat2105 [25]

To answer the problem above first we need to find the difference of molar mass of NI3 from I2, 394.71 g/mol - 253.80 g/mol = 140.91 g/mol. Knowing the molar mass of the difference of NI3 from I2, in equation mass (g) / moles (mol) = molar mass, then we substitute. 3.58g / moles = 140.91 g/mol.
moles = 3.58 / 140.91 = 0.025 moles.

Which of the following situations contains an example of a chemical reaction?

bogdanovich [222]

A bicycle rusting after it is left in the rain is an example of a chemical reaction because it involves oxidation (Option d).

<h3>What is a chemical reaction?</h3>

A chemical reaction can be defined as a phenomenon in which one or more substances called reactants react to form one or more different compounds, which are known as products.

A chemical reaction may include an enzyme that works to increase the seed of the reaction in normal conditions by lowering the activation energy of the reaction.

Therefore, we can conclude that a chemical reaction such as oxidation in a bicycle is a process where reactants combine or break down to form the products of such reaction.

Complete question:

Which of the following situations contains an example of a chemical reaction?

a. Ice forming after water is placed in a freezer

b. Watercolor paint drying on paper

c. a sugar cube dissolving in a glass of water

d. a bicycle rusting after it is left in the rain
