Answer:

2.28 × 10^-3 mol/L

Explanation:

The equation for the equilibrium is

CN^- + H2O ⇌ HCN + OH^-

                    Ka = 4.9 × 10^-10

               KaKb = Kw

4.9 × 10^-10 Kb = 1.00 × 10^-14

                   Kb = (1.00 × 10^-14)/(4.9 × 10^-10) = 2.05 × 10^-5

Now, we can set up an ICE table

                     CN^- + H2O ⇌ HCN + OH^-

I/(mol/L)      0.255                     0         0

C/(mol/L)       -x                        +x        +x

E/(mol/L)  0.255 - x                   x         x

Ka = x^2/(0.255 - x) = 2.05 × 10^-5

Check for negligibility

0.255/(2.05 × 10^-5) = 12 000 > 400. ∴ x ≪ 0.255

    x^2 = 0.255(2.05 × 10^-5) = 5.20 × 10^-6

        x = sqrt(5.20 × 10^-6)    = 2.28 × 10^-3

[OH^-] = x mol/L                     = 2.28 × 10^-3 mol/L

student plans to isolate chlorophyll, mix it in a solution of carbon dioxide and water, and then shine light on the mixture. Do
Inga [223]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

<u>In order for glucose to be produced inside the mixture, photosynthesis has to take place</u>. The photosynthetic process requires a series of steps within an organelle called the <u>chloroplast</u>. The chloroplast contains the chlorophyll and other enzymes that are necessary for photosynthesis.

<em>Once the chlorophyll is isolated, it becomes separated from the enzymes necessary for the completion of photosynthesis, and the process is truncated. </em>When light is shined on the mixture, the majority would instead be lost as heat while some cause the chlorophyll molecules to glow.

0.32 g of a walnut is burned under an aluminum can filled with 58.1 mL of water. The water temperature in the can increases by 3
balu736 [363]

Answer:

1.8 × 10² cal

Explanation:

When 0.32 g of a walnut is burned, the heat released is absorbed by water and used to raise its temperature. We can calculate this heat (Q) using the following expression.

Q = c × m × ΔT

where,

c: specific heat capacity of water

m: mass of water

ΔT: change in the temperature

Considering the density of water is 1 g/mL, 58.1 mL = 58.1 g.

Q = c × m × ΔT

Q = (1 cal/g.°C) × 58.1 g × 3.1°C

Q = 1.8 × 10² cal

Is this equation completely balanced? 2C8H8 + 25O2 8CO2 + 18H2O No, because the number of carbon, hydrogen &amp; oxygen atoms on
Sergio039 [100]
<span>So to make it clear let's break the equation down species by species and assess the number of each species on bothe sides of the equation:
                   2C</span>₈H₈  +  25O₂   →   8CO₂ +  18H₂<span>O
LHS:  C - 16                                           RHS:  C - 8
          H - 16                                                     H - 36
          O - 50                                                    O - 34

Thus based on that it is evident that the equation is not quite balanced.  This therefore means a "</span><span>No, because the number of carbon, hydrogen & oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation are not equal."

</span>The actual balance equation would be C₈H₈  +  10O₂   →   8CO₂ +  4H₂O
