Stalactites and stalagmites form as ________ precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.

Group of answer choices

hydrochloric acid

sodium bicarbonate

calcium carbonate

sodium chloride

sodium hydroxide

Answer:

calcium carbonate

Explanation:

A stalactite is an icicle-looking mould that is formed by the precipitation of natural minerals as a result of water dripping from the ceiling, hanging from a cave.

A stalagmites in the other hand, grows upwards and is also a mound that is formed by the deposits of minerals gotten by the water dripping on the floor of a cave.

Therefore, stalactites and stalagmites form as calcium carbonate precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.

3.65 gram of hcl is dissolved in 180 gram of water. Find the total number of molecules of hydrogen

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

$Molec_{\ H_{tot}}=1.206x10^{25}molec$

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, taking into account that HCl has one molecule of hydrogen per mole of compound which weights 36.45 g/mol, we compute the number of molecules of hydrogen in hydrochloric acid by considering the given mass and the Avogadro's number:

$molec_{\ H}=3.65gHCl*\frac{1molHCl}{36.45gHCl} *\frac{1molH}{1molHCl}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}molec_\ H}{1molH} =6.03x10^{22}molec$

Now, from the 180 g of water, we see two hydrogen molecules per molecule of water, thus, by also using the Avogadro's number we compute the molecules of hydrogen in water:

$molec_{\ H}=180gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O} *\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}*\frac{6.022x10^{23}molec_\ H}{1molH} =1.20x10^{25}molec$

Thus, the total number of molecules turns out:

$Molec_{\ H_{tot}}=6.03x10^{22}+1.20x10^{25}\\\\Molec_{\ H_{tot}}=1.206x10^{25}molec$

Regards.

Phosphorus trichloride gas and chlorine gas react to form phosphorus pentachloride gas: PCl3(g)+Cl2(g)⇌PCl5(g). A 7.5-L gas vess

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The equilibrium constant in terms of concentration that is, $K_c=3.6243\times 10^{3}$ .

Explanation:

$PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)$

The relation of $K_c\& K_p$ is given by:

$K_p=K_c(RT)^{\Delta n_g}$

$K_p$ = Equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure.=98.1

$K_c$ = Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration =?

T = temperature at which the equilibrium reaction is taking place.

R = universal gas constant

$\Delta n_g$ = Difference between gaseous moles on product side and reactant side= $n_{g,p}-n_{g.r}=1-2=-1$

$98.1=K_c(RT)^{-1}$

$98.1 =\frac{K_c}{RT}$

$K_c=98.1\times 0.0821 L atm/mol K\times 450 K=3,624.30=3.6243\times 10^{3}$

The equilibrium constant in terms of concentration that is, $K_c=3.6243\times 10^{3}$ .

Bases

A base is a substance that dissociates into more hydroxide ions (-OH-) when dissolved in water. Bases are also good proton acceptors. Bases, therefore, reduce the number of H+ and increase OH- hence raising the pH of the solution.

B(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ BH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Explanation:

Other properties of bases is that they are bitter to the taste and they feel slippery when touched. Strong bases are nonthlese very corrosive like acids. Bases turn red litmus paper blue. Most alkali hydroxides such as NaOH are bases.
