Answer:

pH = -log[H3O+] or pH = -log[H+]

Explanation:

pH is the negative log of hydronium concentration or hydrogen ion concentration. The two are essentially interchangeable.

The decomposition of dinitrogen pentoxide, N2O5, to NO2 and O2 is a first-order reaction. At 60°C, the rate constant is 2.8 × 10

Sati [7]

Answer:

a. 113 min

Explanation:

Considering the equilibrium:-

2N₂O₅ ⇔ 4NO₂ + O₂

At t = 0 125 kPa

At t = teq 125 - 2x 4x x

Thus, total pressure = 125 - 2x + 4x + x = 125 - 3x

125 - 3x = 176 kPa

x = 17 kPa

Remaining pressure of N₂O₅ = 125 - 2*17 kPa = 91 kPa

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

Given that:

The rate constant, k = $2.8\times 10^{-3}$ min⁻¹

Initial concentration $[A_0]$ = 125 kPa

Final concentration $[A_t]$ = 91 kPa

Time = ?

Applying in the above equation, we get that:-

$91=125e^{-2.8\times 10^{-3}\times t}$

$125e^{-2.8\times \:10^{-3}t}=91$

$-2.8\times \:10^{-3}t=\ln \left(\frac{91}{125}\right)$

$t=113\ min$

A 51.24-g sample of Ba(OH)2 is dissolved in enough water to make 1.20 liters of solution. How many mL of this solution must be d

g100num [7]

Answer:

0.40 L

Explanation:

Calculation of the moles of $Ba(OH)_2$ as:-

Mass = 51.24 g

Molar mass of $Ba(OH)_2$ = 171.34 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{51.24\ g}{171.34\ g/mol}$

$Moles= 0.2991\ mol$

Volume = 1.20 L

The expression for the molarity is:

$Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

$Molarity=\frac{0.2991\ mol}{1.20\ L}=0.24925\ M$

Thus,

Considering

$Molarity_{working\ solution}\times Volume_{working\ solution}=Molarity_{stock\ solution}\times Volume_{stock\ solution}$

Given that:

$Molarity_{working\ solution}=0.100\ M$

$Volume_{working\ solution}=1\ L$

$Volume_{stock\ solution}=?$

$Molarity_{stock\ solution}=0.24925\ M$

So,

$0.100\ M\times 1\ L=0.24925\ M\times Volume_{stock\ solution}$

$Volume_{stock\ solution}=\frac{0.100\times 1}{0.24925}\ L=0.40\ L$

<u>The volume of 0.24925M stock solution added = 0.40 L </u>

What is the transfer of electrons in Al + Cl = AlCl3

otez555 [7]

Answer:

3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.

Explanation

This is a redox reaction.

Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)

Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet or duplet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
[Ne]= (1s²) (2s² 2p⁶)

A combination of both the reactions( Half-reactions) leads to a redox reaction.

Let us look at initial configurations of Al and Cl

[Al]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹

[Cl]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵

Hence, Al can lose 3 electrons to achieve octet config.

and, Cl can gain 1e to achieve nearest noble gas config. [Ar]

This reaction can be rewritten, by clearly mentioning the oxidation states of all the entities involved.

Al⁰ + Cl⁰ → (Al⁺³)(Cl⁻)₃

Here, Aluminum is undergoing an oxidation(i.e loss of electrons) from: 0→(+3)

Chlorine undergoes a reduction half reaction (i.e gain of electrons) from: 0→(-1). There are 3 such chlorine atoms, hence 3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
