Answer:

Explanation:

In this chemistry lab, students investigate how to build and launch a simple rocket that uses hydrogen and oxygen gases that will be mixed to propel the rocket (large bulb plastic pipette). Students will understand the principles of combustion reactions, kinetics, stoichiometry of reactions, activation energy, explosive mixtures, rocketry, and different types of chemical reactions. Students will explore and determine the proportions of hydrogen and oxygen mixture that will achieve the best launch results. Students will compare the balanced chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen with their lab results; students should discover that the optimal distance occurs when the mixture of hydrogen and oxygen is two to one hydrogen, oxygen mixture ratio and this can be determined theoretically from the balanced chemical reaction equation. Students will perform the lab, collect data, and discuss, compare, and contrast their lab findings with the balanced chemical reaction equation. Students will present their structured inquiry investigations using a power-point presentation. Other groups along with the teacher will assess each group by using a provided rubric. Group assessments will be the deciding assessment for the final lab score. A follow up activity could investigate how NASA scientists launch real rockets into space and propose a procedure to investigate and collect data on a launching a heavier object at the school football field.

⦁ Find the concentration of H+, OH-, PH and POH of 0.03 M of magnesium hydroxide which ionizes to the extent of only 1 /3 in aqu
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

pH=12.3\\\\pOH=1.7\\

[H^+]=5x10^{-13}M

[OH^-]=0.02M

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given ionization of magnesium hydroxide, it is possible for us to set up the following reaction:

Mg(OH)_2(s)\rightleftharpoons Mg^{2+}(aq)+2OH^-(aq)

Thus, since the ionization occurs at an extent of 1/3, we can set  up the following relationship:

\frac{1}{3} =\frac{x}{[Mg(OH)_2]}

Thus, x for this problem is:

x=\frac{[Mg(OH)_2]}{3}=\frac{0.03M}{3}\\\\x=  0.01M

Now, according to an ICE table, we have that:

[OH^-]=2x=2*0.01M=0.02M

Therefore, we can calculate the H^+, pH and pOH now:

[H^+]=\frac{1x10^{-14}}{0.02}=5x10^{-13}M

pH=-log(5x10^{-13})=12.3\\\\pOH=14-pH=14-12.3=1.7

Best regards!

A chemist measures the energy change ?H during the following reaction: 2HgO (s) ?2Hg (l) +O2 (g) =?H182.kJ Use the information t
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

A. endothermic.

A. Yes, absorbed.

Explanation:

Let's consider the following thermochemical equation.

2 HgO(s) ⇒ 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g)  ΔH = 182 kJ

The enthalpy of the reaction is positive (ΔH > 0), which means that the reaction is endothermic.

182 kJ are absorbed when 2 moles of HgO react (molar mass 216.59 g/mol). The heat absorbed when 72.8 g of HgO react is:

72.8g.\frac{1mol}{216.59g} .\frac{182kJ}{2mol} =30.6kJ/mol

Balance the following skeleton ionic reaction, and calculate E°cell to decide whether the reaction is spontaneous: Ag(s) + Cu2+
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

2Ag(s) + Cu^2+(aq) ----------> 2Ag^+(aq) + Cu(s)

Explanation:

Ag(s)/Ag^+ (aq) is the anode as shown while Cu^2+(aq)/Cu^2(s) is the cathode.

E°cell= E°cathode -E°anode= 0.34 -0.80= -0.5V

The cell is not spontaneous as written because E°cell is negative. This implies that the electrodes of the cell must be interchanged to make the cell spontaneous.

For the reaction o(g) + o2(g) → o3(g) δh o = −107.2 kj/mol given that the bond enthalpy in o2(g) is 498.7 kj/mol, calculate the
Aneli [31]
The reaction;
O(g) +O2(g)→O3(g), ΔH = sum of bond enthalpy of reactants-sum of food enthalpy of products.
ΔH = ( bond enthalpy of O(g)+bond enthalpy of O2 (g) - bond enthalpy of O3(g)
-107.2 kJ/mol = O+487.7kJ/mol =O+487.7 kJ/mol +487.7kJ/mol =594.9 kJ/mol
Bond enthalpy (BE) of O3(g) is equals to 2× bond enthalpy of O3(g) because, O3(g) has two types of bonds from its lewis structure (0-0=0).
∴2BE of O3(g) = 594.9kJ/mol
Average bond enthalpy = 594.9kJ/mol/2
=297.45kJ/mol
∴ Averange bond enthalpy of O3(g) is 297.45kJ/mol.
