Answer:

The balanced chemical equation: NH₃ + 2 HF → NH₄⁺ + HF₂⁻

Explanation:

According to the Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, the acid- base reaction is a type of chemical reaction between the acid and base to give a conjugate acid and a conjugate base.

In this reaction, a Brønsted–Lowry acid loses a proton to form a conjugate base. Whereas, a Brønsted–Lowry base accepts a proton to form a conjugate acid.

Acid + Base ⇌ Conjugate Base + Conjugate Acid

The acid dissociation constant (Kₐ) <em>signifies the acidic strength of a chemical species.</em>

∵ pKₐ = - log Kₐ

Thus for a strong acid, Kₐ value is large and pKₐ value is small.

pKₐ (HF) = 3.2 → strong acid

pKₐ (NH₃) = 38 → weak acid

<u>The chemical reaction involved in the dissolution process:</u>

NH₃ + 2 HF → NH₄⁺ + HF₂⁻

In this acid-base reaction, the acid HF reacts with NH₃ base to give the conjugate base HF₂⁻ and conjugate acid NH₄⁺.

<u>HF (acid) donates a proton to form the conjugate base, HF₂⁻ ion. NH₃ (base) accepts a proton to form the conjugate acid. </u>

Following the instructions in your lab manual, you have titrated a 25.00 mL sample of 0.0100 M KIO3 with a solution of Na2S2O3 o
vivado [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For 1:</u> The amount of potassium iodate that were titrated is 2.5\times 10^{-4} moles

<u>For 2:</u> The amount of sodium thiosulfate required is 1.25\times 10^{-4} moles

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For 1:</u>

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

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Molarity of KIO_3 solution = 0.0100 M

Volume of solution = 25 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0100M=\frac{\text{Moles of }KIO_3\times 1000}{25}\\\\\text{Moles of }KIO_3=\frac{0.0100\times 25}{1000}=0.00025mol

Hence, the amount of potassium iodate that were titrated is 2.5\times 10^{-4} moles

  • <u>For 2:</u>

The chemical equation for the reaction of potassium iodate and sodium thiosulfate follows:

2KIO_3+Na_2S_2O_3\rightarrow K_2S_2O_3+2NaIO_3

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of potassium iodate reacts with 1 mole of sodium thiosulfate

So, 0.00025 moles of potassium iodate will react with = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.00025=0.000125mol of sodium thiosulfate

Hence, the amount of sodium thiosulfate required is 1.25\times 10^{-4} moles

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. At chemical equilibrium, the amount of because .
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The answer that completes the question are in BOLD:

At chemical equilibrium, the amount of PRODUCT AND REACTANT REMAIN CONSTANT because the RATES OF THE FORWARD AND REVERSE REACTIONS ARE EQUAL.

Explanation:

In a reversible chemical reaction, an equilibrium is said to be achieved when the rates of the forward reaction is equal to that of the reverse reaction. A reversible reaction is one in which products are formed from reactants simultaneously with the formation of reactants from products.

The combination of two or more substances called REACTANTS gives rise to another substance called PRODUCT, which can in turn give rise to Reactants again. With time, the rate at which the reactants give rise the products, which is called the FORWARD REACTION will be equal to the rate at which the products give rise to the reactants, which is called REVERSE REACTION. At this point, the chemical reaction is said to be in a STATE OF EQUILIBRIUM.

When the rate at which both reaction occurs becomes equal i.e. at an equilibrium state, the concentration of both the reactants and the products becomes constant i.e. no longer changes. Hence, the amount of the reactants forming the products is the same as the amount of products forming the reactants.

N.B: At chemical equilibrium, the amount of the reactants and products does not necessarily equals zero (0). It simply means that there is no net change in the concentration/amount of both reactants and products.

An object's velocity can be described by its acceleration and direction.<br><br> True<br> False
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

An object's velocity can be described by it's direction. Because velocity is a vector. Besides velocity and acceleration are different units they can't be described by each other.

In what way are electrons quantized?
KiRa [710]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct option is A) They have fixed energy values.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Electron is one of the sub-atomic particle present around the nucleus of an atom which is negatively charged.

In an atomic model, it is assumed that the electron revolves around the nucleus in discrete orbits having fixed energy levels.

These electrons when jumping from one energy level to another, some amount of radiation is either emitted or absorbed.

These fixed energy levels are given by the Bohr model and thus, the electrons are quantized.

Hence, the correct option is A) They have fixed energy values.

The missing information or their role in the discovery of the cell is as follows:

Robert Hooke: He was the first scientist to called cells to tiny box-like cavities he saw in cork and illustrated as cells.

A. Leeuwenhoek: he was a microscopist and microbiologist who used microscopes and observed many other living cells. He called animalcules to these single-cell living organisms later used to prove that cells are the fundamental unit of life.

Schwann and Schleiden:  They presented the theory that suggested that the cells are basic building blocks of all living things.

Virchow: He observed that the cell dividing and come from pre-existing cells.
