Which of the following can be represented by a single chemical symbol?

Chemistry

Answer:

Sodium

Explanation:

Sodium is a pure chemical, hence it can be represented by the single chemical symbol Na.

Water has a chemical symbol of H2O, consisting of two, and not one, symbols, H and O.

Sulfate ion consists of a sulfide ion and four oxygen ions (SO4)2-. Hence, it does not fit.

Finally, potassium chloride has a chemical symbol of KCl. Consisting of two different chemical symbols, (K and Cl), it does not fit either.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Answer – Given, H_3PO_4 acid and there are three Ka values

K_{a1}=6.9x10^8, K_{a2} = 6.2X10^8, and K_{a3}=4.8X10^{13}

The transformation of H_2PO_4- (aq) to HPO_4^2-(aq)is the second dissociation, so we need to use the Ka2 = 6.2x10-8 in the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation.

Mass of KH2PO4 = 22.0 g , mass of Na2HPO4 = 32.0 g , volume = 1.00 L

First we need to calculate moles of each

Moles of KH2PO4 = 22.0 g / 136.08 g.mol-1

                             = 0.162 moles

Moles of Na2HPO4 = 32.0 g /141.96 g.mol-1

                             = 0.225 moles

[H2PO4-] = 0.162 moles / 1.00 L = 0.162 M

[HPO42-] = 0.225 moles / 1.00 L = 0.225 M

Now we need to calculate the pKa2

pKa2 = -log Ka

       = -log 6.2x10-8

       = 7.21

We know Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

pH = pKa + log [conjugate base] / [acid]

pH = 7.21 + log 0.225 / 0.162

     = 7.35

The pH of a buffer solution obtained by dissolving 22.0 g of KH2PO4 and 32.0 g of Na2HPO4 in water and then diluting to 1.00 L is 7.35

What pressure is exerted by 932.3 g of CH4 in a 0.560 L steel container at 136.2 K?
Roman55 [17]
Molar mass CH4 = 16.0 g/mol

* number of moles:

932.3 / 16 => 58.26875 moles

T = 136.2 K

V = 0.560 L

P = ?

R = 0.082

Use the clapeyron equation:

P x V = n x R x T

P x 0.560 =  58.26875 x 0.082 x 136.2

P x 0.560 = 650.76

P = 650.76 / 0.560

P = 1162.07 atm

Pls help Would be much appreciated:)

Answer:

Ok so,  b. A redox reaction occurs in an electrochemical cell, where silver (Ag) is oxidized and nickel (Ni) is reduced - In voltaic cells, also called galvanic cells, oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode. A mnemonic for this is "An Ox. Red Cat." So since silver is oxidized, the silver half-cell is the anode. And the nickel half-cell is the cathode...

i. Write the half-reactions for this reaction, indicating the oxidation half-reaction and the reduction half-reaction- The substance having highest positive  potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, zinc will always undergo reduction reaction will get reduced

ii. Which metal is the anode, and which is the cathode?-The anode is where the oxidation reaction takes place. In other words, this is where the metal loses electrons. The cathode is where the reduction reaction takes place.

iii. Calculate the standard potential (voltage) of the cell

Look up the reduction potential,

E

, for the reduction half-reaction in a table of reduction potentials

Look up the reduction potential for the reverse of the oxidation half-reaction and reverse the sign to obtain the oxidation potential. For the oxidation half-reaction,

iv. What kind of electrochemical cell is this? Explain your answer.

All parts in the electrochemical cells are labeled in second figure. Following are the part in electrochemical cells

1) Anode 2) Cathode 3) gold Stripe (Electrode) 4) Aluminium Glasses (Electrode) 5) Connecting wires 6) Battery

Answer:

Q1) Distillation relies on evaporation to purify water

Explanation:

contaminated water is heated to form steam. inorganic compounds and large non-volatile organic molecules do not evaporate with the water and are left behind. The steam then cools and condenses to form purified water
