How do waves interact with matter ?

velikii [3]

Waves interact with matter in several ways. The interactions occur when waves pass from one medium to another. Besides bouncing back like an echo, waves may bend or spread out when they strike a new medium. These three ways that waves may interact with matter are called reflection, refraction, and diffraction.

What type of mixture will not allow light to pass through

igor_vitrenko [27]

Suspension. The particles are big enough for the eye to see, and will separate if left sitting.

(a) Write the balanced neutralization reaction that occurs between H2SO4 and KOH in aqueous solution. Phases are optional. (b) S

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

These are two questions and two answers

Answer:

Question 1:

H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2KOH (aq) → K₂SO₄ (aq) + 2H₂O (l)

Question 2:

0.201 M

Explanation:

Question 1:

The neutralization reaction that occurs between H₂SO₄ and KOH is an acid-base reaction.

The products of an acid-base reaction are salt and water.

This is the sketch of such neutralization reaction:

1) Word equation:

sulfuric acid + potassium hydroxide → potassium sulfate + water

↑ ↑ ↑ ↑

acid base salt water

2) Skeleton equation (unbalanced)

H₂SO₄ + KOH → K₂SO₄ + H₂O

#) Balanced chemical equation (including phases)

H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2KOH (aq) → K₂SO₄ (aq) + 2H₂O (l) ← answer

Question 2:

1) Mol ratio:

Using the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced chemical equation you get the mol ratio:

1 mol H₂SO₄ (aq) : 2 mol KOH (aq) : 1 mol K₂SO₄ (aq) : mol 2H₂O (l)

2) Moles of H₂SO₄:

V = 0.750 liter
M = 0.480 mol/liter
M = n/V ⇒ n = M×V = 0.480 mol/liter × 0.750 liter = 0.360 mol

3) Moles of KOH:

V = 0.700 liter
M = 0.290 mol/liter
M = n/V ⇒ n = M × V = 0.290 mol/liter × 0.700 liter = 0.203 mol

4) Determine the limiting reagent:

a) Stoichiometric ratio:

1 mol H₂SO₄ / 2 mol NaOH = 0.500 mol H₂SO4 / mol NaOH

b) Actual ratio:

0.360 mol H₂SO4 / 0.203 mol NaOH = 1.77 mol H₂SO₄ / mol NaOH

Since hte actual ratio of H₂SO₄ is greater than the stoichiometric ratio, you conclude that H₂SO₄ is in excess.

5) Amount of H₂SO₄ that reacts:

Since, KOH is the limiting reactant, using 0.203 mol KOH and the stoichiometryc ratio 1 mol H₂SO₄ / 2 mol KOH, you get:

x / 0.203 mol KOH = 1 mol H₂SO₄ / 2 mol KOH ⇒

x = 0.203 / 2 = 0.0677 mol of H₂SO₄

6) Concentration of H₂SO₄ remaining:

Initial amount - amount that reacted = 0.360 mol - 0.0677 mol = 0.292 mol

Total volume = 0.700 liter + 0.750 liter = 1.450 liter

Concetration = M

M = n / V = 0.292 mol / 1.450 liter = 0.201 M ← answer
