The concentration of ozone in ground-level air can be determined by allowing the gas to react with an aqueous solution of potass

ium iodide, KI, in a redox reaction that produces molecular iodine, molecular oxygen, and potassium hydroxide. Assume 1 atm and 25.0 C
(a) Deduce the balanced reaction for the overall process
(b) Determine the ozone concentration, in ppb, in a 10.0 L sample of outdoor air if it required 17.0 ug of KI to react with it.

Answer:

a) 2KI + O₃ + H₂O ----> I₂ + O₂ + 2KOH

b) Ozone concentration = 0.246 ppb

Explanation:

a) The balanced equation for the reaction is

2KI + O₃ + H₂O ----> I₂ + O₂ + 2KOH

b) We first convert 17 μg of KI to number of moles

Number of moles = (mass)/(molar mass)

Molar mass of KI = 166 g/mol

Mass of KI that reacted = 17 μg = (17 × 10⁻⁶) g

Number of moles = (17 × 10⁻⁶)/166

Number of moles of KI that reacted = (1.0241 × 10⁻⁷) moles

From the stoichiometric balance of the reaction,

2 moles of KI reacts with 1 mole of O₃

Then, (1.0241 × 10⁻⁷) moles of KI will react with (1.0241 × 10⁻⁷ × 1/2) moles of O₃

Number of moles of O₃ that reacted = (5.12 × 10⁻⁸) moles.

To express the amount of O₃ in 10.0 L of air in ppb, we need to convert the amount of O₃ that reacted.

Mass = (number of moles) × (molar mass)

Molar mass of O₃ = 48 g/mol

Mass of O₃ that reacted = (5.12 × 10⁻⁸) × 48 = 0.0000024578 g = (2.46 × 10⁻⁶) g

Concentration in ppb = (Mass of solute in μg)/(volume of solution in L)

Mass of solute = Mass of O₃ = (2.46 × 10⁻⁶) g = 2.46 μg

Volume of solution = 10.0 L

Concentration of O₃ in air in ppb = 2.46/10 = 0.246 ppb

Draw the Lewis Structure for NI3.
monitta

Explanation:

Nitrogen triiodide (NI₃)

Valence electrons of nitrogen = 5

Valence electrons of iodine = 7

The total number of the valence electrons  = 5 + 3(7) = 26

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom and duet for the hydrogen in the molecule is complete. So,  

The Lewis structure is shown in image below.

Nitrogen posses one lone pair and thus the geometry is pyramidal.

. Metallic iron has a body-centered cubic lattice with all atoms at lattice points and a unit cell whose edge length is 286.6 pm
adell [148]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{55.8 u}}

Explanation:

1. Calculate the volume of the unit cell

V = l³ = (2.866 × 10⁻⁸ cm)³ = 2.354 × 10⁻²³ cm³

2. Calculate the mass of a unit cell

\text{Mass} = 2.866 \times 10^{-23}\text{ cm}^{3} \times \dfrac{\text{7.87 g}}{\text{1 cm}^{3}} = 1.853 \times 10^{-22} \text{ g}

3. Calculate the mass of one atom

A body-centred unit cell contains two atoms.

\text{Mass of 1 atom} = \dfrac{1.853 \times 10^{-22} \text{ g}}{\text{2 atoms}} \times \dfrac{\text{1 u}}{1.661 \times 10^{-24}\text{ g}} = \textbf{55.8 u}\\\\\text{The molar mass of Fe from the Periodic Table is $\large \boxed{\textbf{55.845 g/mol}}$}

How are hypotheses different from theories?
juin [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is the Difference Between a Hypothesis and a Theory. In scientific reasoning, a hypothesis is an assumption made before any research has been completed for the sake of testing. A theory on the other hand is a principle set to explain phenomena already supported by data.
