2 moles of NaOH dissolved in 1 litre of solution is the solution with more concentration.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Concentration of solution is the measure of the amount of solute dissolved in the solvent of the solution. So this is measured using the molarity of the solution. Molarity is determined as the number of moles of the solute present in the given amount of solvent.

$\text {Molarity}=\frac{\text {Moles of solute}}{\text {Amount of solvent }}$

In this present case, the option A gives the molarity of 2 M as

$\text {Molarity}=\frac{2}{1}=2 M$

But the second option, mass of NaOH is given. So we have to determine the molarity. First we have to find the molar mass of NaOH. We know that 1 mole of NaOH will contain 40 g/mole.

1 g of NaOH = 40 g of NaOH

1 g of NaOH = 1/40 moles

So 2 g of NaOH will contain $\frac{2 g}{40 g/mole}$ which is equal to 0.05 moles of NaOH.

Thus, the molarity of 2 g of NaOH will be

Molarity = $\frac{0.05 moles }{1 L}$ =0.05 M

Thus, the option A is having higher concentration as the molarity is more for 2 moles of NaOH dissolved in 1 l of solution.

Iron(II) sulfide reacts with hydrochloric acid according to the reaction:

Inessa [10]

The balanced chemical reaction would be:

FeS(s)+2HCl(aq)→FeCl2(s)+H2S(g)

We are given the amount of the reactants to be used for the reaction. We use these amounts. First, we determine the limiting reactant of the reaction. From the data, we can say that FeS is the limiting ad HCl is the excess reactant. We calculate as follows:

Amount of HCl used: 0.240 mol FeS x 2 mol HCl / 1 mol FeS = 0.48 mol HCl

0.646 - 0.48 = 0.166 mol HCl left

Zac releases the air from a balloon. Which statement best describes what will happen to the air that was inside the balloon?

ad-work [718]

The correct answer is the last option. When <span>Zac releases the air from a balloon, it will expand to fill the room. It will not expand in the sense that molecules will be big but the molecules will be more spread out into the room and more air molecules will be present to fill the room.</span>

Answer : The only reaction (C) that shows that the same reactant undergoes both oxidation and reduction.

Explanation :

Disproportionation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the same reactant undergoes both oxidation and reduction reaction. It is a redox reaction.

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

(A) The given balanced reaction is,

$H_2SeO_4(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)+2H^+(aq)\rightarrow H_2SeO_3(aq)+Cl_2(g)+H_2O(l)$

This reaction is a redox reaction but not disproportionation reaction because in this reaction there are two reactants in which chlorine shows oxidation and selenium shows reduction.

(B) The given balanced reaction is,

$S_8(s)+8O_2(g)\rightarrow 8SO_2(g)$

This reaction is a redox reaction but not disproportionation reaction because in this reaction there are two reactants in which sulfur shows oxidation and oxygen shows reduction.

(C) The given balanced reaction is,

$3Br_2(aq)+6OH^-(aq)\rightarrow 5Br^-(aq)+BrO_3^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)$

This reaction is a disproportionation reaction because in this reaction only one reactant bromine that shows both oxidation and reduction reaction.

(D) The given balanced reaction is,

$Ca^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow CaSO_4(s)$

This reaction is a combination reaction in which the two reactant react to give a single product. There is no changes in the oxidation state of calcium and sulfate.

(E) The given balanced reaction is,

$PtCl_4(s)+2Cl^-(aq)\rightarrow PtCl_6^{2-}(aq)$

This reaction is a combination reaction in which the two reactant react to give a single product. There is no changes in the oxidation state of platinum and chlorine.

Hence, the only reaction (C) that shows that the same reactant undergoes both oxidation and reduction.
