Its neither because water is actually neutral since it has a Ph of 7

The volume of oxygen, collected over water, is 185 mL at 25 degrees Celsius and 600 torr. calculate the dry volume of the oxygen

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

0.1593 L.

Explanation:

We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

If n and P are constant, and have two different values of V and T:

P₁V₁T₂ = P₂V₂T₁

P₁ = 600 torr/760 = 0.789 atm, V₁ = 185.0 mL = 0.185 L, T₁ = 25.0°C + 273 = 298.0 K.

P₂ (at STP) = 1.0 atm, V₂ = ??? L, T₂ (at STP = 0.0°C) = 0.0°C + 273 = 273.0 K.

∴ V₂ = P₁V₁T₂/P₂T₁ = (0.789 atm)(0.185 mL)(298.0 K)/(1.0 atm)(273.0 K) = 0.1593 L.

An unknown amount of mercury (II) oxide was decomposed in the lab. Mercury metal was formed and 5.20 L of oxygen was released at

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

68.3g

Explanation:

1. Word equation:

mercury(II) oxide → mercury + oxygen

2. Balanced molecular equation:

2HgO → 2Hg + O₂(g)

3. Mole ratio

Write the ratio of the coefficients of the substances that are object of the problem:

$2molHgO/1molO_2$

4. Calculate the number of moles of O₂(g)

Use the equation for ideal gases:

$pV=nRT\\\\\\n=\dfrac{pV}{RT}\\\\\\n=\dfrac{0.970atm\times5.20L}{0.08206atm.L/K.mol\times 390.0K}\\\\\\n=0.1576mol$

5. Calculate the number of moles of HgO

$\dfrac{2molHgO}{1molO_2}\times 0.1576molO_2=0.315molHgO$

6. Convert to mass

mass = # moles × molar mass

molar mass of HgO: 216.591g/mol

mass = 0.315mol × 216.591g/mol = 68.3g

Carbon diselenide (CSe2) is a liquid at room temperature. The normal boiling point is 125°C, and the melting point is –45.5°C. C

Tema [17]

Answer:

Explanation: The strengths of the inter molecular forces varies as follows -

$CO_{2}< CS_{2} < CSe_{2}$

The normal boiling point of CSe2 is 125°C and that of CS2 is 116°C, which explains the trend that as we move down the group, the boiling point of e compound increases as the size increases.

This usually happens because larger and heavier atoms have a tendency to exhibit greater inter molecular strengths due to the increase in size . As the size increases, the valence shell electrons move far away from the nucleus, thus has a greater tendency to attract the temporary dipoles.

And larger the inter molecular forces, more tightly the electrons will be held to each other and thus more thermal energy would be required to break the bonds between them.
