Answer:

P_{gas}=131.96torr

Explanation:

Helo,

In this case, the pressure must be computed as follows:

P_{gas}=gh\rho _{Hg}

Which is using the density of mercury (13.6 g/mL) and its height, thus, we obtain (using the proper units):

P_{gas}=9.8\frac{m}{s^2}*(13.2cm *\frac{1m}{100cm} )*(13.6\frac{g}{cm^3}*\frac{1kg}{1000g}*\frac{1x10^6cm^3}{1m^3} )\\\\P_{gas}=17592.96Pa*\frac{760torr}{101325Pa} \\\\P_{gas}=131.96torr

Best regards.

jeka57 [31]
To be able to write correctly the equilibrium expression of a reaction, we need to know the balanced reaction and the phases of the substances in the reaction. When substances are solid, pure liquid they are not included in the expression. We do as follows:

<span>4KO2(s) + 2H2O(g) = 4KOH(s) + 3O2(g)

K = [O2]^3 / [H2O]^2</span>

What is the oxidizing agent in the reaction 2MnO4-(aq) 10I-(aq) 16H (aq) ---&gt; 2Mn2 (aq) 5I2(aq) 8H2O(l)
faltersainse [42]

Correct Question: what is the oxidizing agent in the reaction.

2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)

Answer: MnO4-is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

In the reaction 2MnO4–(aq) +10Cl–(aq) + 16H+(aq) --------> 5Cl2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) +8H2O(l)

Oxidizing agent oxidizes other molecules while the themselves get reduced.

oxidizing agents give away Oxygen to other compounds.

MnO4-is the oxidizing agent because

On the reactants side

Oxidation number of Mn in 2MnO4- is +7

Oxidation number of Cl- is -1

On the products side

Oxidation number of Mn is +2

While oxidation number of Cl is zero

Therefore the oxidizing agent is 2MnO4 because is oxidizes Chlorine from -1 to 0 while itself got reduced from oxidation state of +7 to +2
