Answer:

Lava flows are streams of molten rock that pour or ooze from an erupting vent. Lava is erupted during either nonexplosive activity or explosive lava fountains. ... But when basalt lava flows are confined within a channel or lava tube on a steep slope, the main body of the flow can reach velocities >30 km/h (19 mph).

Balance each of the following redox reactions occurring in basic solution.MnO−4(aq)+Br−(aq)→MnO2(s)+BrO−3(aq)Express your answer

Ahat [919]

Answer : The balanced chemical equation is,

$2MnO_4^-(aq)+Br^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+BrO_3^-(aq)+2OH^-(aq)$

Explanation :

Rules for the balanced chemical equation in basic solution are :

First we have to write into the two half-reactions.
Now balance the main atoms in the reaction.
Now balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction.
If the oxygen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding water molecules at that side where the more number of oxygen are present.
If the hydrogen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding hydroxide ion $(OH^-)$ at that side where the less number of hydrogen are present.
Now balance the charge.

The half reactions in the basic solution are :

Reduction : $MnO_4^-(aq)+2H_2O(l)+3e^-\rightarrow MnO_2(s)+4OH^-(aq)$ ......(1)

Oxidation : $Br^-(aq)+6OH^-(aq)\rightarrow BrO_3^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+6e^-$ .......(2)

Now multiply the equation (1) by 2 and then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

The balanced chemical equation in a basic solution will be,

$2MnO_4^-(aq)+Br^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+BrO_3^-(aq)+2OH^-(aq)$

The equilibrium constant, Kc, for the following reaction is 5.10×10-6 at 548 K. NH4Cl(s) NH3(g) + HCl(g) Calculate the equilibri

levacccp [35]

Answer: The equilibrium concentration of HCl is $2.26\times 10^{-3}M$

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of $NH_4Cl(s)$ = 0.564 moles

Volume of vessel = 1.00 L

Molarity is calculated by using the equation:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Molarity of $NH_4Cl=\frac{0.564}{1}=0.564M$

The given chemical equation follows:

$NH_4Cl(s)\rightleftharpoons NH_3(g)+HCl(g)$

Initial: 0.564

At eqllm: 0.564-x x x

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation follows:

$K_c=[NH_3][HCl]$

The concentration of pure solid and pure liquid is taken as 1.

We are given:

$K_c=5.10\times 10^{-6}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5.10\times 10^{-6}=x\times x\\\\x=2.26\times 10^{-3}M,-2.26\times 10^{-3}M$

Negative sign is neglected because concentration cannot be negative.

So, $[HCl]=2.26\times 10^{-3}M$

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of HCl is $2.26\times 10^{-3}M$

What is an ideal gas? how many ideal gases are there in the universe?

tiny-mole [99]

Ideal gases are hypothetical gases whose molecules occupy negligible space and have no interactions, and that consequently obeys the gas laws exactly.
Not exactly sure about the amount...
I hope this helps! :)
