Answer:

$p[H+] = 10.042$

Explanation:

As we know that

$pKw = pH + pOH$ ......eq (1)

we will calculate the pH of OH- and then we will calculate the pH of H+

So p[OH-] $= - log [1.10 * 10^{-4}]$

Solving the right side of the equation, we get

p[OH-]

$= - [-3.958]\\= 3.958$

Now we know that

$pKw = 14.0$

Substituting the value of pOH in the above equation, we get -

$14.0 = p[H+] + 3.958\\p[H+] = 14 - 3.958\\p[H+] = 10.042$

State with reasons, whether sulphur dioxide is acting as an oxidizing agent or a reducing agent in each of the following reactio

evablogger [386]

Answer:

A) oxidizing agent is SO2

B) NaClO is the oxidizing agent

Explanation:

A) This is a redox reaction in which oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously.

Thus, in 2H2S(g) + SO2(g) -> 2H2O(l) + 3S(s);

H2S is reduced as follows;

H2S → S + 2H+ + 2e−

We can see that SO2 has been reduced while H2S gets oxidized since it has changed state from - 2 to 0 . Thus sulphur dioxide is the oxidizing agent.

B) SO2(g) + H2O(l) + NaClO(aq) -> NaCl(aq) + H2SO4(aq)

In this, SO2 undergoes oxidation and NaClO is the oxidizing agent

What volume of 0.152 M KMnO4 solution would completely react with 20.0 mL of 0.381 M FeSO4 solution according to the following n

ANEK [815]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate) is 10.0 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

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

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$ .....(1)

Molarity of ferrous sulfate solution = 0.381 M

Volume of solution = 20.0 mL = 0.020 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.381M=\frac{\text{Moles of ferrous sulfate}}{0.020L}\\\\\text{Moles of ferrous sulfate}=(0.381mol/L\times 0.020L)=0.00762mol$

For the given chemical equation:

$5Fe^{2+}+8H^++MnO_4^-\rightarrow 5Fe^{3+}+Mn^{2+}+4H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

5 moles of iron (II) ions (ferrous sulfate) reacts with 1 mole of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate)

So, 0.00762 moles of iron (II) ions (ferrous sulfate) will react with = $\frac{1}{5}\times 0.00762=0.00152mol$ of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate)

Now, calculating the volume of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate) by using equation 1, we get:

Molarity of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate) = 0.152 M

Moles of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate) = 0.00152 mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.152mol/L=\frac{0.00152mol}{\text{Volume of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate)}}\\\\\text{Volume of permanganate ion (potassium permanganate)}=\frac{0.00152mol}{0.152mol/L}=0.01L=10.0mL$
