If a gas is cooled from 315K to 231K and the volume is kept constant, what would the final pressure be if the original pressure

was 621 mmHg ?

Answer:

455.4 mmHg

Explanation:

To solve this problem we can use <em>Gay Lussac's Law</em>, which describe the temperature and pressure of a gas, at constant volume and composition:

P₁T₂ = P₂T₁

In this case:

P₁ = 621 mmHg

P₂ = ?

T₁ = 315 K

T₂ = 231 K

We <u>input the data</u>:

621 mmHg * 231 K = P₂ * 315 K

And <u>solve for P₂</u>:

P₂ = 455.4 mmHg

What volume of a 3.0 M stock solution of H2SO4 is needed to prepare 2.8 L of a 1.6 M H2SO4 solution?

Georgia [21]

Use M1V1 = M2V2 to solve
3(V1) = 2.8 * 1.6
3(V1) = 4.48
V1 = 1.493 L of stock solution

Directions: Each set of lettered choices below refers to the numbered statements immediately following it. Select the one letter

maksim [4K]

Answer : The only reaction (C) that shows that the same reactant undergoes both oxidation and reduction.

Explanation :

Disproportionation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the same reactant undergoes both oxidation and reduction reaction. It is a redox reaction.

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

(A) The given balanced reaction is,

$H_2SeO_4(aq)+2Cl^-(aq)+2H^+(aq)\rightarrow H_2SeO_3(aq)+Cl_2(g)+H_2O(l)$

This reaction is a redox reaction but not disproportionation reaction because in this reaction there are two reactants in which chlorine shows oxidation and selenium shows reduction.

(B) The given balanced reaction is,

$S_8(s)+8O_2(g)\rightarrow 8SO_2(g)$

This reaction is a redox reaction but not disproportionation reaction because in this reaction there are two reactants in which sulfur shows oxidation and oxygen shows reduction.

(C) The given balanced reaction is,

$3Br_2(aq)+6OH^-(aq)\rightarrow 5Br^-(aq)+BrO_3^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)$

This reaction is a disproportionation reaction because in this reaction only one reactant bromine that shows both oxidation and reduction reaction.

(D) The given balanced reaction is,

$Ca^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow CaSO_4(s)$

This reaction is a combination reaction in which the two reactant react to give a single product. There is no changes in the oxidation state of calcium and sulfate.

(E) The given balanced reaction is,

$PtCl_4(s)+2Cl^-(aq)\rightarrow PtCl_6^{2-}(aq)$

This reaction is a combination reaction in which the two reactant react to give a single product. There is no changes in the oxidation state of platinum and chlorine.

Hence, the only reaction (C) that shows that the same reactant undergoes both oxidation and reduction.

Why is studying light and electrons important for chemistry and understanding the universe?

Brut [27]

Explanation :

The study of light and electrons are important for chemistry & universe.

As we know, everything is made up of particles even light & universe also. The particles are made of atoms and that atoms are made up of electrons, protons & neutrons.

An electron is one of the most important type of subatomic particles. Electrons combine with the proton to form atom. These electrons, protons & neutrons play a vital role in chemistry and universe.

The importance of an electron is that when two atoms react with each other or approach each other, their outermost shells come into contact first and these outermost shells electrons are involved in the chemical reaction.

Also important for chemical reactions, creating bonds, for electricity and the understanding of electrons has allowed for the better understanding of some forces which are in our universe such as electromagnetic force.

We know that the light is act as particle nature and it is a part of universe. As we know that chemists are only responsible for the chemical's study. Chemists cannot study the whole universe that is why they study light and the light is important because nothing would be able to survive.

The studying of light is important for the photoelectric effect, absorption, bio-molecules synthesis, vitamin D synthesis, vision, colors, drying & evaporation, sterilization, solar energy, spectroscopy, signal system and also for electron excitation.

Zinc reacts with excess hydrochloric acid to produce zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. What happens to the reaction rate if you in

agasfer [191]

The correct response I believe is D. The reaction rate increases because the probability of collisions increases as there are more Zn atoms to react.

What is the concentration (in M) of a sample of the unknown dye with an absorbance of 0.25 at 542 nm?

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

see explanation below

Explanation:

Question is incomplete, so in picture 1, you have a sample of this question with the missing data.

Now, in general terms, the absorbance of a substance can be calculated using the beer's law which is the following:

A = εlc

Where:

ε: molar absortivity

l: distance of the light in solution

c: concentration of solution

However, in this case, we have a plot line and a equation for this plot, so all we have to do is replace the given data into the equation and solve for x, which is the concentration.

the equation according to the plot is:

A = 15200c - 0.018

So solving for C for an absorbance of 0.25 is:

0.25 = 15200c - 0.018

0.25 + 0.018 = 15200c

0.268 = 15200c

c = 0.268/15200

c = 1.76x10⁻⁵ M
