Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we say that chemical reactions are governed by the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be neither created nor destroyed by transformed, for that reason, we need to balance chemical reactions in order to ensure all the atoms to be in the same quantity at both reactants and products.

Moreover, equilibrium is defined as such condition at which the concentration of both reactants and products stop changing over the time so they become constant as well as their null reaction rate.

A widely acknowledged reaction is the HABER one which consists on the synthesis of ammonia by using elemental nitrogen and hydrogen:

N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)

In such reaction, we have two nitrogens at both reatants and products and six hydrogens at at both reatants and products for us to obey the law of conservation of mass. Furthermore, as the time goes by, nitrogen reacts with hydrogen, nonetheless, they do not react indefinitely, they have a limit that is equilibrium, so their moles stop being consumed and remain unchanged as well as the produced moles of ammonia.

Best regards.

Label A is showing___ frequency waves, and label B is showing ___ frequency waves
igomit [66]

It's not really possible to tell longitudinal vs. transverse in this image as given. However, we can say that the waves labeled A are high-frequency (short wavelengths) while the waves labeled B are low-frequency (long wavelengths). So, this third answer choice would be correct here.

Which unit conversion allows you to convert 21.0 gallons into milliliters?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Explanation:

we are given

there are in 0.073 gallons

we can see that there are two non-zero places after decimals

so, there are two siginificant figures

step-1: Change gallons to quarts

we know that

1 gallon = 4 quarts

so, we can write as

step-2: Change into liter

we know that

1 liter = 1.057 quarts

or

step-3: Change into millilitre

we know that

Since, it is asking for only two significant figures

so, we can also write as

What volume of 0.585 m ca(oh)2 would be needed to neutralize 15.8 l of 1.51 m hcl?
SpyIntel [72]
When the balanced reaction equation is:

2HCl(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) → CaCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

from the balanced equation, we can get the molar ratio between HCl & Ca(OH)2

2:1

∴ the volume of Ca(OH)2 = 15.8 L HCl * 1.51 m HCl * (1mol Ca(OH)2/ 2mol HCl) *                                           (1L ca(OH)2/0.585 mol Ca(OH)2 

                                          = 20.4 L

In order to prepare 50.0 mL of 0.100 M NaOH you will add _____ mL of 1.00 M NaOH to _____ mL of water
FinnZ [79.3K]

The question requires us to complete the sentence regarding the preparation of a more dilute NaOH solution (0.100 M, 50.0 mL) from a more concentrated NaOH solution (1.00 M).

Analyzing the blank spaces that we need to fill in the sentence, we can see that we must provide the volume of the more concentrated solution and the volume of water necessary to prepare the solution.

We can use the following equation to calculate the volume of more concentrated solution required:

\begin{gathered} C_1\times V_1=C_2\times V_2 \\ V_1=\frac{C_2\times V_2}{C_1} \end{gathered}

where C1 is the concentration of the initial solution (C1 = 1.00 M), V1 is the volume required of the inital solution (that we'll calculate), C2 is the concentration of the final solution (C2 = 0.100 M) and V2 is the volume of the final solution (V2 = 50.0 mL).

Applying the values given by the question to the equation above, we'll have:

\begin{gathered} V_1=\frac{C_2\times V_2}{C_1} \\ V_1=\frac{0.100M_{}\times50.0mL_{}}{1.00M_{}}=5.00mL \end{gathered}

Thus, we would need 5.00 mL of the more concentrated solution.

Since the volume of the final solution is 50.0 mL and it corresponds to the volume of initial solution + volume of water, we can calculate the volume of water necessary as:

\begin{gathered} \text{final volume = volume of initial solution + volume of water} \\ 50.0mL=5.00mL\text{ + volume of water} \\ \text{volume of water = 45.0 mL} \end{gathered}

Thus, we would need 45.0 mL of water to prepare the solution.

Therefore, we can complete the sentence given as:

<em>"In order to prepare 50.0 mL of 0.100 M NaOH you will add </em>5.00 mL<em> of 1.00 M NaOH to </em>45.0 mL<em> of water"</em>
