Because in heat rises faster on the floor than on the ceiling or side of a wall.

Heating vents are usually placed on the floor because heat rises. If they weren't on the ground or near it then the house would not stay warm because all of the heat traveled up and out of the room!

What volume of 0.152 M KMnO4 solution would completely react with 20.0 mL of 0.381 M FeSO4 solution according to the following n

ANEK [815]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate) is 10.0 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$ .....(1)

Molarity of ferrous sulfate solution = 0.381 M

Volume of solution = 20.0 mL = 0.020 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.381M=\frac{\text{Moles of ferrous sulfate}}{0.020L}\\\\\text{Moles of ferrous sulfate}=(0.381mol/L\times 0.020L)=0.00762mol$

For the given chemical equation:

$5Fe^{2+}+8H^++MnO_4^-\rightarrow 5Fe^{3+}+Mn^{2+}+4H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

5 moles of iron (II) ions (ferrous sulfate) reacts with 1 mole of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate)

So, 0.00762 moles of iron (II) ions (ferrous sulfate) will react with = $\frac{1}{5}\times 0.00762=0.00152mol$ of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate)

Now, calculating the volume of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate) by using equation 1, we get:

Molarity of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate) = 0.152 M

Moles of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate) = 0.00152 mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.152mol/L=\frac{0.00152mol}{\text{Volume of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate)}}\\\\\text{Volume of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate)}=\frac{0.00152mol}{0.152mol/L}=0.01L=10.0mL$

Hence, the volume of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate) is 10.0 mL

An acetate buffer solution is prepared by combining 50. mL of 0.20 M acetic acid,

natima [27]

Answer:

The answer is "Option B".

Explanation:

$\to CH_3COOH + NaOH \longleftrightarrow CH_3COONa + H_2O\\\\\to CH_3COONa + NaOH\longleftrightarrow CH3COONa\\\\\therefore \ mol\ NaOH = (5 \ E-3\ L)\times(0.10 \ \frac{mol}{L}) = 5 \ E-4\ mol\\\\$

$\to mol\ CH_3COOH = (0.05 \ L)\times(0.20 \frac{mol}{L}) = 0.01 \ mol\\\\\to C \ CH_3COOH = \frac{(0.01 \ mol - 5 \ E-4\ mol) }{(0.105 \ L)}\\\\\to C \ CH_3COOH = 0.0905 \ M\\\\\therefore \ mol \ CH_3COONa = (0.05\ L )\times (0.20 \ \frac{mol}{L}) = 0.01 \ mol\\\\$

$\to C \ CH_3COONa = \frac{(0.01\ mol + 5 \ E-4\ mol)}{(0.105\ L )}\\\\\to C \ CH_3COONa = 0.1 \ M\\\\\therefore Ka = ([H_3O^{+}]\times \frac{(0.1 + [H_3O^+]))}{(0.0905 - [H_3O^+])} = 1.75\ E-5\\\\\to 0.1[H_3O^+] + [H_3O^+]^2 = (1.75 E-5)\times (0.0905 - [H_3O^+])\\\\$

$\to [H_3O^+]^2 \ 0.1[H_3O^+] = 1.584\ E-6 - 1.75\ E-5[H_3O^+]\\\\\to [H_3O^+]^2 + 0.1000175[H_3O^+] - 1.584 \ E-6 = 0\\\\\to [H_3O^+] = 1.5835\ E-5 \ M\\\\\therefore pH = - \log [H_3O^+]\\\\\to pH = - \log (1.5835 \ E-5)\\\\ \to pH = 4.8004 > 4.7$

At 100.0∘C, the ion product of water is 5.13×10−13. What is the concentration of hydroxide ions at this temperature? Your answer

Trava [24]

Answer: The concentration of hydroxide ions at this temperature is $7.16\times 10^{-7}$

Explanation:

When an expression is formed by taking the product of concentration of ions raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients in the solution of a salt is known as ionic product.

The ionic product for water is written as:

$K_w=[H^+][OH^-]$

$5.13\times 10^{-13}=[H^+][OH^-]$

As $[H^+]=[OH^-]$

$5.13\times 10^{-13}=x^2$

$x=7.16\times 10^{-7}$

The concentration of hydroxide ions at this temperature is $7.16\times 10^{-7}$
