state the formula for potassium hydroxide and explain, in terms of charges, how you formed the formula

1 answer:

3 0

Potassium oxide is an ionic compound. The potassium has a charge of K+ and oxygen has a charge of O2−. We need 2 potassium ions to balance one oxide ion making the formula K2O.

Potassium hydroxide is an ionic compound. The potassium has a charge of K+ and hydroxide has a charge of OH−. We need 1 potassium ion to balance one hydroxide ion making the formula KOH.

K2O+ H2O→KOH

To balance the equation we place a coefficient of 2 in front of the potassium hydroxide.

K2O+H2O→2KOH

I hope this was helpful.

The reaction of NO2 with ozone produces NO3 in a second-order reaction overall.

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer : The rate of reaction is,

$Rate=4.77\times 10^{-19}M/s$

The appearance of $NO_3$ is, $4.77\times 10^{-19}M/s$

Explanation :

The general rate of reaction is,

$aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD$

Rate of reaction : It is defined as the change in the concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.

The expression for rate of reaction will be :

$\text{Rate of disappearance of A}=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of disappearance of B}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of C}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}$

$\text{Rate of formation of D}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$

$Rate=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}$

From this we conclude that,

In the rate of reaction, A and B are the reactants and C and D are the products.

a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficient of A, B, C and D respectively.

The negative sign along with the reactant terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the reactant is decreasing and positive sign along with the product terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the product is increasing.

The given rate of reaction is,

$NO_2(g)+O_3(g)\rightarrow NO_3(g)+O_2(g)$

The rate law expression will be:

$Rate=k[NO_2][O_3]$

Given:

Rate constant = $k=1.69\times 10^{-4}M^{-1}s^{-1}$

$[NO_2]$ = $1.77\times 10^{-8}M$

$[O_3]$ = $1.59\times 10^{-7}M$

$Rate=k[NO_2][O_3]$

$Rate=(1.69\times 10^{-4})\times (1.77\times 10^{-8})\times (1.59\times 10^{-7})$

$Rate=4.77\times 10^{-19}M/s$

The expression for rate of appearance of $NO_3$ :

$\text{Rate of reaction}=\text{Rate of appearance of }NO_3=+\frac{d[NO_3]}{dt}$

As, $\text{Rate of reaction}=4.77\times 10^{-19}M/s$

So, $\text{Rate of appearance of }NO_3=+\frac{d[NO_3]}{dt}=4.77\times 10^{-19}M/s$

Thus, the appearance of $NO_3$ is, $4.77\times 10^{-19}M/s$

Why do we need to standardize EDTA in determination of water hardness?

bonufazy [111]

Standardized means that a specific amount EDTA is added to a specific volume of distilled water. Water hardness is determined by the the amount of a standard EDTA solution to change the color of the water from red to blue. For example if one added the correct amount of EDTA to twice the volume of distilled water the solution would be weak. Titration of the hard water would give a erroneous high result.
