Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of compound A  = 25g

Mass of compound B = 40g

Mass of final mixture = 55g

What happens to the missing mass?

According to the law of conservation of mass, in chemical reaction, matter is transformed from one form to another but cannot be created nor destroyed.

We expect the final mass of the mixture and that of the reacting compounds to be the same but the opposite is the case.

There is a mass loss which typifies most chemical reaction.

The reason for this is that some of the masses must have been lost by the production of gaseous species which are unaccounted for.

The missing mass:

  Total mass expected  = mass of A + mass of B = 25 + 40 = 65g

Missing mass = expected mass - mass of final mixture = 65 - 55 = 10g

Calculate the standard potential, e∘, for this reaction from its equilibrium constant at 298 k. x(s)+y4+(aq)↽−−⇀x4+(aq)+y(s)k=4.
laila [671]
First, we need to get the number of moles:

from the reaction equation when Y4+ takes 4 electrons and became Y, X loses 4 electrons and became X4+  

∴ the number of moles n = 4

we are going to use this formula:

㏑K = n *F *E/RT

when K is the equilibrium constant = 4.98 x 10^-5

and F is Faraday's constant = 96500

and the constant R = 8.314

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 298 K

and n is number of moles of electrons = 4 

so, by substitution:

㏑4.98 x 10^-5 = 4*96500*E / 8.314*298

∴E = -0.064 V

Why do atoms gain or lose electrons?
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:kapil

Explanation:

Atoms lose electrons, if an electron gets more energy than then binding energy of the electron. This may be because of a collision with a charged particle or because of absorbtion of a photon. In a metal, there are just other positive charges nearby. The electron is not lost, but shared.

What is the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration of a solution of pH 8?
fgiga [73]

Answer:

10−8 M.

Explanation:

In this problem we are given pH and asked to solve for the hydrogen ion concentration. Using the equation, pH = − log [H+] , we can solve for [H+] as,

− pH = log [H+] ,

[H+] = 10−pH,

by exponentiating both sides with base 10 to "undo" the common logarithm. The hydrogen ion concentration of blood with pH 7.4 is,

[H+] = 10−7.4 ≈ 0.0000040 = 4.0 × In this problem we are given pH and asked to solve for the hydrogen ion concentration. Using the equation, pH = − log [H+] , we can solve for [H+] as,
