Out of the following given choices;

A. increasing the pH of the salt.

B. increasing the surface area of the salt.

C. increasing the pressure of the salt.

<span>D. increasing the temperature of the salt.</span>

 

The answer is B. When a substance is reduced to smaller sizes, its surface area to volume ratio increases. Therefore crushing barium salts to smaller particles increase the surface area on which it reacts with the acid. This consequently increases the rate of speed of the reaction.

A 25.0 ml sample of 0.723 m hclo4 is titrated with a 0.27303 m koh solution. the h3o+ concentration after the addition of 66.2 m

This doesn't need an ICE chart. Both will fully dissociate in water.

Assume HClO4 and KOH reacts with one another. All you need to do is determine how much HClO4 will remain after the reaction. Calculate pH.

Step 1:

write out balanced equation for the reaction

HClO4+KOH ⇔ KClO4 + H2O

the ratio of HClO4 to KOH is going to be 1:1. Each mole of KOH we add will fully react with 1 mole of HClO4

Step 2:

Determining the number of moles present in HClO4 and KOH

Use the molar concentration and the volume for each:
25 mL of 0.723 M HClO4

Covert volume from mL into L:
25 mL * 1L/1000mL = 0.025 L

Remember:

M = moles/L so we have 0.025 L of 0.723 moles/L HClO4

Multiply the volume in L by the molar concentration to get:

0.025L x 0.723mol/L = 0.0181 moles HClO4.

Add 66.2 mL KOH with conc.=0.273M
66.2mL*1L/1000mL = .0662 L
.0662L x 0.273mol/L = 0.0181 moles KOH

Step 3:

Determine how much HClO4 remains after reacting with the KOH.

Since both reactants fully dissociate and are used in a 1:1 ratio, we just subtract the number of moles of KOH from the number of moles of HClO4:

moles HClO4 = 0.0181; moles KOH = 0.0181, so 0.0181-0.0181 = 0

This means all of the HClO4 is used up in the reaction.

If all of the acid is fully reacted with the base, the pH will be neutral = 7.

Determine the H3O+ concentration:

pH = -log[H3O+]; [H3O+] = 10-pH = 10-7

The correct answer is 1.0x10-7.

scandium47 has a half-life of 35s. suppose you have a 45g sample of scadium 47 how much of the sample remains unchanged after 14
Mars2501 [29]

 The much  of the sample that would remain  unchanged  after 140 seconds is 2.813 g

Explanation

Half life  is time taken for the quantity  to reduce  to half its original value.

if the half life  for Scandium  is 35 sec, then the number  of half life in 140 seconds

=140 sec/ 35 s = 4 half life

Therefore 45 g after first half life = 45 x1/2 =22.5 g

               22.5 g after second half life = 22.5 x 1/2 =11.25 g

            11.25 g after third half life = 11.25 x 1/2 = 5.625 g

             5.625 after  fourth half life = 5.625 x 1/2 = 2.813

therefore 2.813 g  of Scandium 47 remains  unchanged.

Determine the volume of atmospheric air (at 14 lb/in.^2) needed to fill your bike tires (assuming it holds 500 mL of air) to the
Fiesta28 [93]

Boyle Law says “the pressure of fixed amount of ideal gas which is at constant temperature is inversely proportional to its volume".<span>

P = 1/V

<span>Where, P is pressure of the ideal gas and V is volume of the ideal gas.</span>

<span>For two situations, this law can be added as;
P</span>₁V₁ = P₂V₂<span>

</span><span>14 lb/in² x V₁ = 70 lb/in² x 500 mL</span><span>
                 </span><span>V₁ = 2500 mL</span><span>

Hence, the needed volume of atmospheric air = 2500 mL

<span>Here, we made two </span>assumptions. They are,
1. The atmospheric air acts as ideal gas.
2. Temperature is a constant.

<span>We didn't convert the units to SI units since converting volume and pressure are products of two numbers, they will cut off. </span></span></span>
