What is the [H ] of a solution of 0.001 M aqueous sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is H2SO4 ionizes in water according to the balanced chem

Ainat [17]

Answer: 0.002 M

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for ionization of $H_2SO_4$ in water is:

$H_2SO_4\rightarrow 2H^++SO_4^{2-}$

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of $H_2SO_4$ ionizes to give =2 mole of $H^+$ ions

0.001 mole of $H_2SO_4$ ionizes to give = $\frac{2}{1}\times 0.001=0.002$ mole of $H^+$ ions

Thus $H^+$ of a solution of 0.001 M aqueous sulfuric acid is 0.002 M

Some chemical bonds are considered molecules while others are considered compounds.

taurus [48]

Molecule is the general term used to describe any atoms that are connected by chemical bonds. Every combination of atoms is a molecule. A compound is a molecule made of atoms from different elements. All compounds are molecules, but not all molecules are compounds.

One example of a molecule is $Cl_2$ (chlorine).

Examples of a compound is NaCl (sodium chloride) or $H_2O\\$ (water)

2.088 g sample of a compound containing only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen is burned in an excess of dioxygen, producing 4.746 g

uysha [10]

Answer:

The empirical formula is C3H6O

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the sample =2.088 grams

The mass contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen

Mass of CO2 produced = 4.746 grams

Mass of H2O produced = 1.943 grams

Molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Molar mass of H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Atomic mass of C = 12.01 g/mol

Atomic mass of H = 1.01 g/mol

Atomic mass of O = 16.0 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles CO2

Moles CO2 = mass CO2 / molar mass CO2

Moles CO2 = 4.746 grams/ 44.01 g/mol

Moles CO2 = 0.1078 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles C

For 1 mol CO2 we have 1 mol C

For 0.1078 moles CO2 we'll have 0.1078 moles C

Step 4: Calculate mass C

Mass C: moles C * atomic mass C

Mass C: 0.1078 moles * 12.01 g/mol

Mass C= 1.295 grams

Step 5: Calculate moles H2O

Moles H2O = 1.943 grams / 18.02 g/mol

Moles H2O = 0.1078 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles H

For 1 mol H2O we'll have 2 moles H

For 0.1023 moles H2O we'll have 2*0.1078 = 0.2156 moles H

Step 7: Calculate mass H

Mass H = 0.2046 moles * 1.01 g/mol

Mass H = 0.218 grams

Step 8: Calculate mass O

Mass O = 2.088 grams - 1.295 grams - 0.218 grams

Mass O = 0.575 grams

Step 9: Calculate moles O

Moles O = 0.575 grams / 16.0 g/mol

Moles O = 0.0359 moles

Step 10: Calculate the mol ratio

We divide by the smallest amount of moles

C: 0.1078 moles / 0.0359 moles = 3

H: 0.2156 moles / 0.0359 moles = 6

O: 0.0359 moles / 0.0359 moles =1

The empirical formula is C3H6O

Three compounds that contain elements from Group 16 are SeO2F2 , SeOF2,

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A formal charge (FC) is the charge assigned to an atom in a molecule, assuming that electrons in all chemical bonds are shared equally between atoms, regardless of relative electronegativity(Wikipedia).

The formal charge on an atom in a molecule reflects the electron count associated with the atom compared to the isolated neutral atom(University of Calgary).

Looking at all the structures listed A-E for SeO2F2, only structure A minimizes the formal charges for each atom in SeO2F2.

In the reaction 2Li(s) + 2H2O(l) 2LiOH(aq) + H2(g), what compound is in the gaseous state?

ipn [44]

Answer is: C. H₂, molecule of hydrogen, g is chemistry abbreviations or physical state symbol for gas.

Lithium (Li) is solid (s) element (metal).
Water (H₂O) is liquid (l) compound or molecule.
Lithium hydroxide (LiOH) is aqueous solution (aq). It dissociates in water on lithium cation (Li⁺) and hydroxy anion (OH⁻).
