Answer:

Fuses are built as a safety measure if there is too much current flowing through a circuit. ... However, if an electrical current exceeds the maximum current allowed within that fuse it will overheat and cause the metal strip to melt. The destroyed metal strip breaks the connection and stops electricity flowing through.

How do you know the ph level of 10^-8

sergiy2304 [10]

pH=6.98

Explanation:

This is a very interesting question because it tests your understanding of what it means to have a dynamic equilibrium going on in solution.

As you know, pure water undergoes self-ionization to form hydronium ions, H3O+, and hydroxide anions, OH−.

2H2O(l]⇌H3O+(aq]+OH−(aq]→ very important!

At room temperature, the value of water's ionization constant, KW, is equal to 10−14. This means that you have

KW=[H3O+]⋅[OH−]=10−14

Since the concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions are equal for pure water, you will have

[H3O+]=√10−14=10−7M

The pH of pure water will thus be

pH=−log([H3O+])

pH=−log(10−7)=7

Now, let's assume that you're working with a 1.0-L solution of pure water and you add some 10

A reaction is occurring in a test tube. How is heat transmitted to the surroundings?

Cerrena [4.2K]

It should be noted that when a reaction is occurring in a test tube, heat transmitted to the surroundings when Molecules collide with the glass, and the glass molecules then transmit that energy to the outside.

Heat can be regarded as a form of energy which is energy that is been transferred as a result of difference in temperature.

In the case above, Molecules collide with the glass, and the glass molecules then transmit that energy to the outside which is an exothermic reaction.

Therefore, option B is correct.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The mass of excessive water (H₂O) is 40.815 kg

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The Equation for the reaction is;

Li₂O(s) + H₂O(l) → 2LiOH(s)

From the question;

Mass of water removed is 80.0 kg

Mass of available Li₂O is 65.0 kg

We are required to calculate the mass of excessive reagent.

<h3>Step 1: Calculating the number of moles of water to be removed</h3>

Moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass

Molar mass of water = 18.02 g/mol

Mass of water = 80 kg (but 1000 g = 1kg)

= 80,000 g

Therefore;

$Moles of water = \frac{80,000g}{18.02 g/mol}$

= 4.44 × 10³ moles

<h3>Step 2: Moles of Li₂O available </h3>

Moles = mass ÷ molar mass

Mass of Li₂O available = 65.0 kg or 65,000 g

Molar mass Li₂O = 29.88 g/mol

Moles of Li₂O = 65,000 g ÷ 29.88 g/mol

= 2.175 × 10³ moles Li₂O

<h3>Step 3: Mass of excess reagent </h3>

From the equation; Li₂O(s) + H₂O(l) → 2LiOH(s)

1 mole of Li₂O reacts with 1 mole of water to form two moles of LiOH

The ratio of Li₂O to H₂O is 1:1

Thus, 2.175 × 10³ moles of Li₂O will react with 2.175 × 10³ moles of water.
However, the number of moles of water to be removed is 4.44 × 10³ moles but only 2.175 × 10³ moles will react with the available Li₂O.
This means, Li₂O is the limiting reactant while water is the excessive reagent.

Therefore:

Moles of excessive water = 4.44 × 10³ moles - 2.175 × 10³ moles

= 2.265 × 10³ moles

Mass of excessive water = 2.265 × 10³ moles × 18.02 g/mol

= 4.0815 × 10⁴ g or

= 40.815 kg

Thus, the mass of excessive water is 40.815 kg
