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

Answer:

See detailed answer with explanation below.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are electrons found on the outermost shell of an atom. They are the electrons in an atom that participate in chemical combination. Recall that the outermost shell of an atom is also referred to as its valence shell. Let us consider an example; if we look at the atom, sodium-11, its electronic configuration is 2,8,1. The last one electron is the valence electron of sodium which is found in its outermost or valence shell.

Positive ions are formed when electrons are lost from the valence shell of an atom. For instance, if the outermost electron in sodium is lost, we now form the sodium ion Na^+ which is a positive ion. Positive ions possess less number of electrons compared to their corresponding atoms.

Negative ions are formed when one or more electrons is added to the valence shell of an atom. A negative ion possesses more electrons than its corresponding atom. For example, chlorine(Cl) contains 17 electrons but the chloride ion (Cl^-) contains 18 electrons.

In molecular compounds, a bond is formed when two electrons are shared between the bonding atoms. Each bonding atom may contribute one of the shared electrons (ordinary covalent bond) or one of the bonding atoms may provide the both shared electrons (coordinate covalent bond). The shared pair may be located at an equidistant position to the nucleus of both atoms. Similarly, the electron may be drawn closer to the nucleus of one atom than the other (polar covalent bond) depending on the electro negativity of the two bonding atoms.

The electrons are shared in order to complete the octet of each atom by so doing, the both bonding atoms now obey the octet rule. For example, two chlorine atoms may come together to form a covalent bond in which each chlorine atom has an octet of electrons on its outermost shell.

Which of the following will increase entropy in a reaction?
Lapatulllka [165]

B. Heating up the reaction will increase the entropy of a reaction.

<h3>What is entropy?</h3>

Entropy is the measure of the degree of disorderliness of a system.

Entropy is also the measure of a system's thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work.

S = ΔH/T

where;

  • S is entropy
  • ΔH is energy input
  • T is  temperature

Entropy increases in reactions in which the total number of product molecules is greater than the total number of reactant molecules.

However, entropy increases as temperature increases. Thus, heating up the reaction will increase the entropy of a reaction.

The Kp for the reaction below is 1.49 × 108 at 100.0°C:
Anna007 [38]
Kp= (COCl2)/[(CO)(Cl2)]= 1.49 x 10^8

1.49 x 10^8= (COCl2/((2.22x10-4)(2.22x10-4))

COCl2= 1.49x10^8 x ((2.22x10-4)(2.22x10-4))= 7.34 atm

If the ph of hc3h5o2 is 4.2 and the ka 1.34x10^-5, what is the equilibrium concentration

pH = 0.5 pKa + 0.5 pCa
0.5 pCa = pH - 0.5 pKa
              = 4.2 - (0.5 * (-log 1.34 x 10⁻⁵)) = 1.76
pCa = 3.53
Ca = antilog - 3.52 = 3 x 10⁻⁴
