What is the coefficient for the oxygen molecule in the chemical equation below? 2hgo → 2hg + ? o2?

1 answer:

7 0

This question is purely balancing the chemical equation where the number of atoms in reactants is equal to the number of atoms in products.
For the mentioned equation:
In the reactants, we have 2 atoms of Hg and 2 atoms of oxygen.
In the products, we should have 2 atoms of Hg and 2 atoms of oxygen.
Since the oxygen molecule is composed of 2 oxygen atoms, therefore the coefficient should be equal to 1 for the equation to be balanced.

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.

Marcus measured the masses and volumes of samples of four different substances, and he calculated their densities. The table sho

Zina [86]

Given:

Calculated density values-

Aluminum = 2.7 g/cm3

Copper = 9.0 g/cm3

Iron = 7.9 g/cm3

Titanium = 4.8 g/cm3

Unknown sample mass = 9.5 g

Sample volume = 2.1 cm3

To determine:

The identity of the unknown sample

Explanation:

'Density' is a physical parameter which can be used to identify the nature of the unknown substance.

Density = Mass/Volume

For the unknown sample

Density = 9.5 g/2.1 cm3 = 4.52 g/cm3

This matches closely with the calculated density of titanium

Ans: The unknown substance is made of titanium

How much time would it take to distribute one avagadro's number of wheat grains if 10^10 grains are A)1.9*10^2 years B)1.9*10^10

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

It takes 1.9 $\times 10^{6}$ years to distribute all the grains.

Explanation:

In one second, $10^{10}$ grains of wheat are distributed.

We are supposed to find the time it would take to Distribute Avogadro number of grains.

1 avogadro number = 6.022 $\times 10^{23}$

Number of grains distributed in 1 day = 86400 $\times 10^{10}$

= 8.64 $\times 10^{14}$

Number of grains distributed in 1 year= 8.64 $\times 10^{14} \times 365$

= 3.1536 $\times 10^{17}$

Time taken = $\frac{Number of grains to be distributed}{grains distributed in 1 year}$

= $\frac {6.022 \times 10^{23}}{3.1536\times 10^{17}}$

= 1.9 $\times 10^{6}$

According to the Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance that ________. Group of answer choices can accept a pair of electrons

Schach [20]

Answer: an increase in the concentration of $H^+$ in aqueous solutions and is capable of donating one or more $H^+$

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius concept, a base is defined as a substance which donates hydroxide ions $(OH^-)$ when dissolved in water and an acid is defined as a substance which donates hydrogen ions $(H^+)$ in water.

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

Thus According to the Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance that causes an increase in the concentration of $H^+$ in aqueous solutions and is capable of donating one or more $H^+$
