Answer:

Water has a higher boiling point because the hydrogen bonds that form water molecules are stronger than the Van der Waals interactions among methane molecules, therefor more energy must be provided in order to break the hydrogen bonds and allow the water molecules to escape the liquid state.

As a technician in a large pharmaceutical research firm, you need to produce 250. mL of a potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer
Reika [66]

Answer:

We will need 147.772 mL of KH2PO4 to make this solution

Explanation:

For this case we can give the following equation:

H2PO4 - ⇄ H+ + HPO42-

With following pH- equation:

pH = pKa + log [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

7.05 = 7.21 + log [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

-0.16 =  log [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

10^-0.16 = [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

0.6918 = [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

Let's say the volume of HPO42-= x  then the volume of H2PO4- will be 250 mL - x

Since both have a concentration of 1M = 1 mol /L

If we plug this in the equation 0.6918 = [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

0.6918 = x / (250 - x)

0.6918*250 - 0.6918x = x

172.95 = 1.6918x

x = 102.228 mL

The volume of HPO42- = 102.228 mL

Then the volume of H2PO4- = 250 - 102.228 = 147.772 mL

To control this we can plug this in the pH equation

7.05 = 7.21 + log [HPO42-]/[H2PO4-]

7.05= 7.21 + log (102.228 / 147.772) = 7.05

We will need 147.772 mL of KH2PO4 to make this solution

If a piece of cadmium with a mass of 37.60 g and a temperature of 100.0 oC is dropped into 25.00 cc of water at 23.0 oC, what wi
zlopas [31]

Answer:

T_{eq}=28.9\°C

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since it is observed that hot cadmium is placed in cold water, we can infer that the heat released due to the cooling of cadmium is gained by the water and therefore we can write:

Q_{Cd}+Q_{W}=0

Thus, we insert mass, specific heat and temperatures to obtain:

m_{Cd}C_{Cd}(T_{eq}-T_{Cd})+m_{W}C_{W}(T_{eq}-T_{W})=0

In such a way, since the specific heat of cadmium and water are respectively 0.232 and 4.184 J/(g °C), we can solve for the equilibrium temperature (the final one) as shown below:

T_{eq}=\frac{m_{Cd}C_{Cd}T_{Cd}+m_{W}C_{W}T_{W}}{m_{Cd}C_{Cd}+m_{W}C_{W}}

Now, we plug in to obtain:

T_{eq}=\frac{37.60g*0.232\frac{J}{g\°C}*100.00\°C+25.00g*4.184\frac{J}{g\°C}*23.0\°C}{37.60g*0.232\frac{J}{g\°C}+25.00g*4.184\frac{J}{g\°C}}\\\\T_{eq}=28.9\°C

NOTE: since the density of water is 1g/cc, we infer that 25.00 cc equals 25.00 g.

Best regards!

Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid calcium carbonate (CaCO_3)
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

Explanation:

The decomposition reaction always make two compounds from one.

The products always have simpler chemical structure, originated from a determined compound. This can happens  spontaneously or by a third party.

A notable example of decomposition is hydrolysis. As for example the case of water, which decomposes and generates oxygen and hydrogen gas

2H₂O (l) → 2 H₂ (g) + O₂ (g)

In this case, the calium carbonate decomposes into CaO and CO₂

These two, are the products of the decomposition.

Of course, the unique reactant is the Calcium Carbonate

The balanced equation is:

CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)
