When hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is added to potassium iodide (KI) solution, the hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water (H2O) and

oxygen (O2). The chemical equation for this decomposition reaction is:
2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2


In this reaction, the potassium iodide is needed for the reaction to happen, but it isn’t changed in the reaction and can be used again. What is the role of potassium iodide in this reaction?

A. Reactant

B. Product

C. Precipitate

D. Catalyst

<span>Answer: Nothing is balanced in your final equation: not H, not O, not Cr, not I and your charges aren't either. Start with your 2 half reactions: I- --> IO3- Cr2O72- --> 2 Cr3+ Balance O by adding H2O: I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- Cr2O72- --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O Balance H by adding H+: I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- + 6 H+ Cr2O72- + 14 H+ --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O Balance charge by adding e-: I- + 3 H2O --> IO3- + 6 H+ + 6 e- Cr2O72- + 14 H+ + 6 e- --> 2 Cr3+ + 7H2O Since the numbers of electrons in your two half reactions are the same, just add them and simplify to give: Cr2O72- + I- + 8 H+ --> IO3- + 2 Cr3+ + 4 H2O</span>

What is a zone of weak, variable winds located at 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south?
timurjin [86]

Answer:

Horse latitude, trade winds

Explanation:

  • The area of the low pressure or the calm consists of the variable light winds that blow near the equator are known to the marines as the doldrums and they form a circuital pattern near the earth atmosphere.
  • Forms at a center of the near the higher pressure systems called as the horse latitudes where the  trade winds at the surface are weak and variable and this zone is found generally in latitudes of the 30° North and South of the equator and move in an east to west direction.

The Henry's law constant (kH) for O2 in water at 20°C is 1.28 × 10−3 mol/(L·atm). (a) How many grams of O2 will dissolve in 4.00
Burka [1]

Answer:

Solubility of O₂(g) in 4L water = 3.42 x 10⁻² grams O₂(g)

Explanation:

Graham's Law => Solubility(S) ∝ Applied Pressure(P) => S =k·P

Given P = 0.209Atm & k = 1.28 x 10⁻³mol/L·Atm

=> S = k·P = (1.28 x 10⁻³ mole/L·Atm)0.209Atm = 2.68 x 10⁻³ mol O₂/L water.

∴Solubility of O₂(g) in 4L water at 0.209Atm = (2.68 x 10⁻³mole O₂(g)/L)(4L)(32 g O₂(g)/mol O₂(g)) = <u>3.45 x 10⁻² grams O₂(g) in 4L water. </u>
