Answer:

A 1 liter volumetric flask should be used.

Explanation:

First we convert 166.00 g of KI into moles, using its molar mass:

Molar mass of KI = Molar mass of K + Molar mass of I = 166 g/mol

166.00 g ÷ 166 g/mol = 1 mol KI

Then we calculate the required volume, using the definition of molarity:

Molarity = moles / liters

Liters = moles / molarity

1 mol / 1.00 M = 1 L

Under standard-state conditions, which of the following species is the best reducing agent? a. Ag+ b. Pb c. H2 d. Ag e. Mg2+

eimsori [14]

Answer: The correct answer is Option b.

Explanation:

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which help the other substance to get reduced and itself gets oxidized. They undergo oxidation reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

For determination of reducing agents, we will look at the oxidation potentials of the substance. Oxidation potentials can be determined by reversing the standard reduction potentials.

For the given options:

Option a: $Ag^+$

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +1 is the most stable oxidation state of silver.

Option b: $Pb$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $Pb^{2+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.13 V

$Pb\rightarrow Pb^{2+}+2e^-;E^o_{(Pb/Pb^{2+})}=+0.13V$

Option c: $H_2$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $H^{+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is 0.0 V

$H_2\rightarrow 2H^++2e^-;E^o_{(H_2/H^{+})}=0.0V$

Option d: $Ag$

This metal can easily get oxidized to $Ag^{+}$ ion and the standard oxidation potential for this is -0.80 V

$Ag\rightarrow Ag^{+}+e^-;E^o_{(Ag/Ag^{+})}=-0.80V$

Option e: $Mg^{2+}$

This ion cannot be further oxidized because +2 is the most stable oxidation state of magnesium.

By looking at the standard oxidation potential of the substances, the substance having highest positive $E^o$ potential will always get oxidized and will undergo oxidation reaction. Thus, considered as strong reducing agent.

From the above values, the correct answer is Option b.

How many moles of gas X are present if the gas has a volume of 2dm³ at room temperature and pressure? Give your answer to 2 deci

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Approximately $0.08\; \rm mol$ , assuming that this gas is an ideal gas.

Explanation:

Look up the standard room temperature and pressure: $25\; \rm ^{\circ}C$ and $P = 101.325 \; \rm kPa$ .

The question states that the volume of this gas is $V = 2\; \rm dm^{3}$ .

Convert the unit of all three measures to standard units:

$\begin{aligned} T &= 25\; \rm ^{\circ}C \\ &= (25 + 273.15)\; \rm K \\ &= 293.15\; \rm K\end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned}P &= 101.325\; \rm kPa \\ &= 101.325 \; \rm kPa \times \frac{10^{3}\; \rm Pa}{1\; \rm kPa} \\ &= 1.01325 \times 10^{5}\; \rm Pa\end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned}V &= 2\; \rm dm^{3} \\ &= 2 \; \rm dm^{3} \times \frac{1\; \rm m^{3}}{10^{3}\; \rm dm^{3}} \\ &= 2 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm m^{3}\end{aligned}$ .

Look up the ideal gas constant in the corresponding units: $R \approx 8.31\; \rm m^{3}\cdot Pa \cdot mol^{-1} \cdot K^{-1}$ .

Let $n$ denote the number of moles of this gas in that $V = 2\; \rm dm^{3}$ . By the ideal gas law, if this gas is an ideal gas, then the following equation would hold:

$P \cdot V = n \cdot R \cdot T$ .

Rearrange this equation and solve for $n$ :

$\begin{aligned}n &= \frac{P \cdot V}{R \cdot T} \\ &\approx \frac{1.01325 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm Pa} \times 2 \times 10^{-3}\; {\rm m^{3}}}{8.31 \; {\rm m^{3} \cdot Pa \cdot mol^{-1} \cdot K^{-1}} \times 293.15\; {\rm K}} \\ &\approx 0.08\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .
