Answer:

Potassium iodide increases the decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide.

Explanation:

Potassium iodide increases the decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide because potassium iodide act as a catalyst. A catalyst speed up the process of chemical reaction without reacting with the molecules present in reaction. If the potassium iodide is not present as a catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide then the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide takes too much time because the catalyst is absent that speed up the reaction.

Identify and label the Brønsted-Lowry acid, its conjugate base, the Brønsted-Lowry base, and its conjugate acid in each of the f

julia-pushkina [17]

Explanation:

As per Brønsted-Lowry concept of acids and bases, chemical species which donate proton are called Brønsted-Lowry acids.

The chemical species which accept proton are called Brønsted-Lowry base.

(a) $HNO_3 + H_2O \rightarrow H_3O^+ + NO_3^-$

$HNO_3$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $NO_3^-$ is its conjugate base.

$H_2O$ is Bronsted lowry base and $H_3O^+$ is its conjugate acid.

(b)

$CN^- + H_2O \rightarrow HCN + OH^-$

$CN^-$ is Bronsted lowry base and HCN is its conjugate acid.

$H_2O$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $OH^-$ is its conjugate base.

(c)

$H_2SO_4 + Cl^- \rightarrow HCl + HSO_4^-$

$H_2SO_4$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $HSO_4^-$ is its conjugate base.

Cl^- is Bronsted lowry base and HCl is its conjugate acid.

(d)

$HSO_4^-+OH^- \rightarrow SO_4^{2-}+H_2O$

$HSO_4^-$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $SO_4^{2-}$ is its conjugate base.

OH^- is Bronsted lowry base and $H_2O$ is its conjugate acid.

(e)

$O_{2-}+H_2O \rightarrow 2OH^-$

$O_{2-}$ is Bronsted lowry base and OH- is its conjugate acid.

$H_2O$ is Bronsted lowry acid and OH- is its conjugate base.

A gas has a density of 1.57 g/L at 40.0 Â°C and 2.00 atm of pressure. What is the identity of the gas?

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Neon

Explanation:

Step 1: Given and required data

Density of the gas (ρ): 1.57 g/L

Temperature (T): 40.0°C

Pressure (P): 2.00 atm

Ideal gas constant (R): 0.08206 atm.L/mol.K

Step 2: Convert T to Kelvin

We will use the following expression.

K = °C + 273.15 = 40.0 + 273.15 = 313.2 K

Step 3: Calculate the molar mass of the gas (M)

For an ideal gas, we will use the following expression.

ρ = P × M/R × T

M = ρ × R × T/P

M = 1.57 g/L × 0.08206 atm.L/mol.K × 313.2 K/2.00 atm

M = 20.17 g/mol

The gas with a molar mass of 20.17 g/mol is Neon.

How is freeze dried ice cream made

ollegr [7]

Freeze drying (or lyophilization) removes water from the ice cream by lowering the air pressure to a point where ice sublimates from a solid to a gas. The ice cream is placed in a vacuum chamber and frozen until the water crystallizes. The air pressure is lowered, creating a partial vacuum, forcing air out of the chamber; next heat is applied, sublimating the ice; finally a freezing coil traps the vaporized water. This process continues for hours, resulting in a freeze-dried ice cream slice.

A 2 L container contains 5 moles of helium gas at 0.5 atm. What is the temperature of the gas?

lara [203]

Answer:

2.44 K IS THE TEMPERATURE OF THE GAS

Explanation:

PV = nRT

P = 0.5 atm

V = 2 L

n = 5 moles

R = 0.082 L atm mol^-1 K^-1

T = ?

Substituting for T in the equation, we obtain:

T = P V / nR

T = 0.5 * 2 / 5 * 0.082

T = 1 / 0.41

T = 2.44 K

The temperature of the gas is 2.44 K
