Answer:

The increase in mass is not due to the heating but due to the reaction of the metal with oxygen in air to form an oxide

Explanation:

When a metal is heated in the presence of air, oxygen present in air reacts with the metal to form the oxide of the metal. The mass of this oxide is greater than the original metal by the amount of oxygen added to the metal during the reaction.

The above reaction is known as an oxidation reaction. Generally,

metal M + O2 ---> MO2

Calcutale Grxn for the following equation at 25°C: <br><br> 4KClO3(s) → 3KClO4(s) KCl(s)
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

-133.2 kJ

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

4 KClO₃(s) → 3 KClO₄(s) + KCl(s)

We can calculate the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction (ΔG°rxn) using the following expression.

ΔG°rxn = 3 mol × ΔG°f(KClO₄(s)) + 1 mol × ΔG°f(KCl(s)) - 4 mol × ΔG°f(KClO₃(s))

ΔG°rxn = 3 mol × (-303.1 kJ/mol) + 1 mol × (-409.1 kJ/mol) - 4 mol × (-296.3 kJ/mol)

ΔG°rxn = -133.2 kJ

Wear _______________________ when handling batteries, because they can explode or leak.
Basile [38]

The answer is: b. Safety glasses and acid-resistant gloves.

Battery acid (sulfuric acid) has pH = 0.

Sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) is a strong acid, it means that the solution of sufuric acid is more acidic (pH<7) than water (pH = 7).

Chemical dissociation of sulfuric acid in water:  

H₂SO₄(aq) → 2H⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq).  

Sulfuric acid can come in contact with eyes and hands, so it is important to wear safety glasses and acid-resistant gloves.

What is the pH of a<br> 2.5 x 10-5 M solution<br> of HCI?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The pH of the solution is 4.60.

Explanation:

The pH gives us an idea of the acidity or basicity of a solution. More precisely, it indicates the concentration of H30 + ions present in said solution. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14: from 0 to 7 corresponds to acid solutions, 7 neutral solutions and between 7 and 14 basic solutions. It is calculated as:

pH = -log (H30 +)

pH= -log (2,5 x 10-5)

<em>pH=4.60</em>

A sample of N2O3(g) has a pressure of 0.046 atm . The temperature (in K) is then doubled and the N2O3 undergoes complete decompo
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

0.184 atm

Explanation:

The ideal gas equation is:

PV = nRT

Where<em> P</em> is the pressure, <em>V</em> is the volume, <em>n</em> is the number of moles, <em>R</em> the constant of the gases, and <em>T</em> the temperature.

So, the sample of N₂O₃ will only have its temperature doubled, with the same volume and the same number of moles. Temperature and pressure are directly related, so if one increases the other also increases, then the pressure must double to 0.092 atm.

The decomposition occurs:

N₂O₃(g) ⇄ NO₂(g) + NO(g)

So, 1 mol of N₂O₃ will produce 2 moles of the products (1 of each), the <em>n </em>will double. The volume and the temperature are now constants, and the pressure is directly proportional to the number of moles, so the pressure will double to 0.184 atm.
