A solution with pH of 9 has [OH-] concentration of
Drupady [299]
PH = -log([H+])
[H+] = 10^(-pH)

[H+] = 10^(-9)

[H+][OH-] = Kw
Kw = 1.0*10^-14 at 25 degrees celsius.

[OH-] = Kw/[H+] = (1.0*10^-14)/(1*10^-9) = 1.0*10^-5

The concentration of OH- ions is 1.0*10^-5 M.

Hydrogen sulfide decomposes according to the following reaction: 2H2S(g) ⇋ 2H2(g) + S2(g) Kc=9.30x10-8 at 700.°C.If 0.45 mol of
Natalija [7]

Answer:

[H₂] = 1.61x10⁻³ M

Explanation:

2H₂S(g) ⇋ 2H₂(g) + S₂(g)

Kc = 9.30x10⁻⁸ = \frac{[H_{2}]^2[S_{2}]}{[H_{2}S]^2}

First we <u>calculate the initial concentration</u>:

0.45 molH₂S / 3.0L = 0.15 M

The concentrations at equilibrium would be:

[H₂S] = 0.15 - 2x

[H₂] = 2x

[S₂] = x

We <u>put the data in the Kc expression and solve for x</u>:

\frac{(2x^2) * x}{(0.15-2x)^2}=9.30x10^{-8}

\frac{4x^3}{0.0225-4x^2}=9.30*10^{-8}

We make a simplification because x<<< 0.0225:

\frac{4x^3}{0.0225} =9.30*10^{-8}

x = 8.058x10⁻⁴

[H₂] = 2*x = 1.61x10⁻³ M

How many liters of water vapor can be produced if 13.3 liters of methane gas (CH4) are combusted, if all measurements are taken
Pie
To get the number of liters of water vapor produced from the combustion of methane gas, we just need the stoichiometric ratio of water to methane which is 2:1. So the number of liters of water vapor from 13.3 liters of methane is 26.6 liters.
