Answer:

The molarity of the acid, H₂SO₄ is 3.57 M

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH —> Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

From the balanced equation above,

Mole ratio of the acid, H₂SO₄ (nₐ) = 1

Mole ratio of the base, NaOH (n₆) = 2

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the acid, H₂SO₄. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume of base, NaOH (V₆) = 38.70 cm³

Molarity of base, NaOH (M₆) = 1.90M

Volume of acid, H₂SO₄ (Vₐ) = 10.30 cm³

Molarity of acid, H₂SO₄ (Mₐ) =?

MₐVₐ / M₆V₆ = nₐ/n₆

Mₐ × 10.3 / 1.9 × 38.70 = 1/2

Mₐ × 10.3 / 73.53 = 1/2

Cross multiply

Mₐ × 10.3 × 2 = 73.53 × 1

Mₐ × 20.6 = 73.53

Divide both side by 20.6

Mₐ = 73.53 / 20.6

Mₐ = 3.57 M

Thus, the molarity of the acid, H₂SO₄ is 3.57 M

The decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide, N2O5, to NO2 and O2 is a first-order reaction. At 60°C, the rate constant is 2.8 × 10

Sati [7]

Answer:

a. 113 min

Explanation:

Considering the equilibrium:-

2N₂O₅ ⇔ 4NO₂ + O₂

At t = 0 125 kPa

At t = teq 125 - 2x 4x x

Thus, total pressure = 125 - 2x + 4x + x = 125 - 3x

125 - 3x = 176 kPa

x = 17 kPa

Remaining pressure of N₂O₅ = 125 - 2*17 kPa = 91 kPa

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

Given that:

The rate constant, k = $2.8\times 10^{-3}$ min⁻¹

Initial concentration $[A_0]$ = 125 kPa

Final concentration $[A_t]$ = 91 kPa

Time = ?

Applying in the above equation, we get that:-

$91=125e^{-2.8\times 10^{-3}\times t}$

$125e^{-2.8\times \:10^{-3}t}=91$

$-2.8\times \:10^{-3}t=\ln \left(\frac{91}{125}\right)$

$t=113\ min$

Covalent bonds usually occur between atoms that have

marta [7]

Answer: A: high ionization energies; high electron affinitlies.

Explanation: Covalent bonds are basically about sharing of electrons between two atoms to achieve that stable structure. They are formed between two atoms when both have similar tendencies to attract electrons to themselves (i.e., when both atoms have identical or fairly similar ionization energies and electron affinities). Covalent bonding usually occurs between two non-metals.

For effective and proper bonding, the two atoms involved in the covalent bonding exercise should be small and hungry for electrons. This is to enable the nuclei of both atoms to effectively attract and hold the shared electron(s) in place; hence, the need for high ionization energies & high electron affinities for a more effective covalent bonding.

Valence Bond theory predicts that tin will use what hybrid orbitals in Snf5 -1

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

sp3d

Explanation:

The ground state electronic configuration of tin is written as; [Kr] 5s²4d¹⁰5p². Hybridization is a concept used to explain the combination of orbitals of appropriate energy to produce suitable orbitals that could be used for bonding.

In forming the compound Snf5^ -1, we have to hybridize the following orbitals on tin; 5p, 5d and 6s orbitals. This gives us a set of sp3d hybrid hence the answer.
