<h3>Answer:</h3>

a. KOH (aq) + HCl (aq) → KCl (s) + H₂O (l)

b. NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) → NaCl (s) + H₂O (l)

<h3>General Formulas and Concepts:</h3>

<u>Chemistry</u>

<u>Unit 0</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Writing Compounds
  • Polyatomic Ions

<u>Aqueous Solutions</u>

  • States of matter
  • Solubility Rules
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given "Potassium hydroxide reacts with hydrochloric acid to form salt and water."

a)

From the question, we can figure out 1.) if the reaction exists and 2.) if it does exist, then reaction prediction.

  • Potassium - K⁺
  • Hydroxide (PAI) - OH⁻
  • Potassium Hydroxide - KOH
  • Hydro - H⁺
  • Chloric (Chlorine) - Cl⁻
  • Hydrochloric acid (strong) - HCl

Remembering solubility rules, we have:

  • <em>All common compounds of Group IA ions are soluble</em>
  • <em>All common chlorides, bromides, and iodides are mostly soluble (exceptions are Ag⁺, Pb²⁺, Cu⁺, Hg₂²⁺)</em>

Therefore, we can conclude that both potassium hydroxide and hydrochloric are both aqueous solutions:

KOH (aq) + HCl (aq) → ? + ?

We are also given from the problem that the reaction produces a salt and water.

  • Molecular Formula of water - H₂O

We also use the double replacement reaction to do reaction prediction of the proposed salt:

KOH (aq) + HCl (aq) → KCl (s) + H₂O (l)

Hence, this is our answer to a.).

b.)

We are given that we <em>switch</em> the compound KOH (potassium hydroxide) with sodium hydroxide.

  • Sodium - Na⁺
  • Hydroxide (PAI) - OH⁻
  • Sodium Hydroxide - NaOH

We can use the same steps as a.) to figure out our new reaction. Since we already know that Group IA compounds are soluble, we know that NaOH is soluble:

NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) → ? + H₂O (l)

Following the same steps, we can simple do a double replacement reaction prediction to find the missing salt:

NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) → NaCl (s) + H₂O (l)

We see that we would still be able to produce a [different] salt and the reaction does exist/run. And we have our final answer for b.).

<em>Note:</em>

While the salts produced (KCl and NaCl) are solids, they <em>are</em> soluble in water. Since we are running only a forward reaction, we know that we are <em>producing</em> a solid and liquid water. Usually, we would probably see these reactions in equilibrium (represented with a ⇆).

This also delves into the concepts of saturation.

Acetylene, C2H2, can be converted to ethane, C2H6, by a process known as hydrogenation. The reaction is C2H2(g)+2H2(g)?C2H6(g)
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Keq =1.50108

Explanation:

The given reactionis

 C₂H₂(g) +2H₂(g) -------------> C₂H₂(g)

   ΔG0 f=ΔG0f n (products) - ΔG0f n (reactants )

              = -32.89 kJ/mol - (209.2 kJ/mol+2*0.0 kJ/mol)

              = - 242.09kJ/mol

   ΔG= -RTlnKeq

   ln Keq = -ΔG/RT

           =-(- 242.09kJ/mol ) / 2 k cal /mol*298 K

           =0.406

    Keq =e0.406

         Keq =1.50108

A chemical test has determined the concentration of a solution of an unknown substance to be 2.41 M. a 100.0 mL volume of the so
Oksana_A [137]

Answer : The molar mass of unknown substance is, 39.7 g/mol

Explanation : Given,

Mass of unknown substance = 9.56 g

Volume of solution = 100.0 mL

Molarity = 2.41 M

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of volume of solution.

Formula used :

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Mass of unknown substance}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of unknown substance}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

2.41M=\frac{9.56g\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of unknown substance}\times 100.0mL}

\text{Molar mass of unknown substance}=39.7g/mol

Therefore, the molar mass of unknown substance is, 39.7 g/mol

Which fields of science do you think might use data tables and graphs more than others
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Statistics

Explanation:

The science of statistics deals with the collection, storage, manipulation, analyzing, visualizing and interpretation of data. Graphs and tables are very good tools in order to achieve statistical problems. Tables can be used to compare a given data set and present them in a very simple relational way. Graphs are useful for data visualization and their trend is vital in making interpretations.

Can someone help with this please?
PtichkaEL [24]
A and b are related because if u look carefully at what its showing u that there both the same but what its telling u is not the same.

a and c are the same but the picture is different and also the way they describe it is different and what they want u to look at is that if you look at it closely then youll know the difference and how to find it as well
