Why should impure zinc be used instead of pure zinc in preparation of hydrogen gas​

Chemistry

Yuri [45]3 years ago

Pure zinc is not used for the preparation of hydrogen gas because it is non-porous. As a result, the reaction carried out with pure zinc would be too slow. Hence impurities like copper is often added to the zinc. Copper acts as a catalyst ( by providing a large surface area ) and increases the speed of the reaction.

What determines the strength of an arrhenius base? give one example each of an aqueous solution of a strong base and an aqueous
IceJOKER [234]
The strength of an Arrhenius base determines percentage of ionization of base and the number of OH⁻ ions formed. 
Strong base completely ionize in water and gives a lot of hydroxide ions (OH⁻), for example sodium hydroxide: NaOH(aq) → Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
Weak  base partially ionize in water and gives a few hydroxide ions (OH⁻), for example ammonia: NH₃ + H₂O(l) ⇄ NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).

Determine whether the following hydroxide ion concentrations ([OH−]) correspond to acidic, basic, or neutral solutions by estima
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

To do this, we will use the following expression to calculate the [H⁺]:

[H⁺] = Kw / [OH⁻]

[H⁺] is the same as [H₃O⁺]. So we have the [OH⁻] so, let's replace every value into the above expression to calculate the hydronium concentration and say if it's acidic, basic or neutral. This can be known because if the [H⁺] > 1x10⁻⁷ M the solution is acidic. If it's [H⁺] < 1x10⁻⁷ M the solution is basic, and if it's [H⁺] = 1x10⁻⁷ M the solution is neutral.

a) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 6x10⁻¹² = 1.67x10⁻³ M. Acidic.

b) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 9x10⁻⁹ = 1.11x10⁻⁶ M. Acidic.

c) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 8x10⁻¹⁰ = 1.25x10⁻⁵ M. Acidic.

d) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 7x10⁻¹³ = 0.0143 M. Acidic.

e) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 2x10⁻² = 5x10⁻¹³ M. Basic.

f) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 9x10⁻⁴ = 1.11x10⁻¹¹ M. Basic.

g) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 5x10⁻⁵ = 2x10⁻¹⁰ M. Basic.

h) [H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 1x10⁻⁷ = 1x10⁻⁷ M. Neutral.

Part B.

In this part, we'll use the following expression and replace the given values:

[OH⁻] = Kw / [H⁺]

Replacing the values:

[OH⁻] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 5.2x10⁻⁵

[OH⁻] = 1.92x10⁻¹⁰ M

PArt C:

In this case, we will use expression of part A, and replace the given values:

[H⁺] = 1x10⁻¹⁴ / 2.7x10⁻²

[H⁺] = 3.7x10⁻¹³ M
