kykrilka [37]3 years ago
5 0

Answer-The correct option is option d with says all of the above.

Explanation- All three acids that are given combined together to form acid rain in which nitric and sulphuric acid are stronger acids present while carbonic acid is a weaker one.

The carbon dioxide admitted in air combines with water to form carbonic acid and gives a weak acidic nature to rainwater. Pollution in nature makes sulphur and nitrogen present in air react to form the stronger acids responsible for acid rain.

B. The following reaction takes place in a basic solution. (7 points)
Natali5045456 [20]

<u>Answer:</u> The final equation has hydroxide ions which indicate that the reaction has occurred in a basic medium.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously.

The oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species loses electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when the oxidation number of a species increases.

A reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species gains electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when the oxidation number of a species decreases.

The given redox reaction follows:

MnO_4^-(aq)+NO_2^-(aq)\rightarrow MnO_2(s)+NO_3^-(aq)

To balance the given redox reaction in basic medium, there are few steps to be followed:

  • Writing the given oxidation and reduction half-reactions for the given equation with the correct number of electrons

Oxidation half-reaction: NO_2^-+2OH^-\rightarrow NO_3^-+H_2O+2e^-

Reduction half-reaction: MnO_4^-+2H_2O+3e^-\rightarrow MnO_2+4OH^-

  • Multiply each half-reaction by the correct number in order to balance charges for the two half-reactions

Oxidation half-reaction: NO_2^-+2OH^-\rightarrow NO_3^-+H_2O+2e^-         ( × 3)

Reduction half-reaction: MnO_4^-+2H_2O+3e^-\rightarrow MnO_2+4OH^-             ( × 2)

The half-reactions now become:

Oxidation half-reaction: 3NO_2^-+6OH^-\rightarrow 3NO_3^-+3H_2O+6e^-

Reduction half-reaction: 2MnO_4^-+4H_2O+3e^-\rightarrow 2MnO_2+8OH^-

  • Add the equations and simplify to get a balanced equation

Overall redox reaction: 3NO_2^-+2MnO_4^-+H_2O\rightarrow 3NO_3^-+2MnO_2+2OH^-

As we can see that in the overall redox reaction, hydroxide ions are released in the solution. Thus, making it a basic solution

How many kJ of heat are released by the reaction of 25.0 g of Na2O2(s) in the following reaction? (M = 78.0 g/mol for Na2O2)
solong [7]

-20.16 KJ of heat are released by the reaction of 25.0 g of Na2O2.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of Na2O2 = 25 grams

atomic mass of Na2O2 = 78 gram/mole

number of mole = \frac{mass}{atomic mass of 1 mole}

                          = \frac{25}{78}

                          =0. 32 moles

The balanced equation for the reaction:

2 Na2O2(s) + 2 H2O(l) → 4 NaOH(aq) + O2(g) ∆Hο = −126 kJ

It can be seen that 126 KJ of energy is released when 2 moles of Na2O2 undergoes reaction.

similarly 0.3 moles of Na2O2 on reaction would give:

\frac{126}{2} = \frac{x}{0.32}

x = \frac{126 x 0.32}{2}

 = -20.16 KJ

Thus, - 20.16 KJ of energy will be released.

What is the frequency of a wave with a wavelength of 6.40x10^4 meters?
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

frequency = 0.47×10⁴ Hz

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of wave = 6.4× 10⁴ m

Frequency of wave = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Speed of wave = wavelength × frequency

Speed of wave = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

Now we will put the values in formula.

3 × 10⁸ m/s = 6.4× 10⁴ m × frequency

frequency = 3 × 10⁸ m/s / 6.4× 10⁴ m

frequency = 0.47×10⁴ /s

s⁻¹ = Hz

frequency = 0.47×10⁴ Hz

Thus the wave with wavelength of 6.4× 10⁴ m have 0.47×10⁴ Hz frequency.
