Answer:

When you balance a chemical equation, you change coefficients. You never change subscripts. A coefficient is a whole number multiplier. To balance a chemical equation, you add these whole number multipliers (coefficients) to make sure that there are the same number of atoms on each side of the arrow.

An object has a mass of 18 grams and its volume is 2cm3 Calculate density:

Natalka [10]

Answer:

9g/cm^3 is the density

Explanation:

P = m/V

P = 18/2 = 9g/cm^3

(This is more of a physics question than chem btw)

If a 95.27 mL sample of acetic acid (HC2H3O2) is titrated to the equivalence point with 79.06 mL of 0.113 M KOH, what is the pH

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

8.73

Explanation:

The concentration of acetic acid can be determined as follows:

$M_1V_1 = M_2V_2\\(KOH) = (CH_3COOH)$

$M_{KOH}=0.113 M\\V_{KOH}=79.06 mL$

$V_{CH_3COOH}=95.27 \\\\M_{CH_3COOH)=?????$

$M_{CH3COOH} = \frac{M_{KOH}*V_{KOH}}{V_{CH_3COOH}}$

$M_{CH3COOH} = \frac{0.113*79.06}{95.27}$

$M_{CH3COOH} = 0.094 M$

Moles of $CH_3COOH$ = $95.27* 10^{-3}* 0.094$

=0.0090 moles

Moles of $KOH = 79.06*10^{-3}*0.113$

= 0.0090 moles

The equation for the reaction can be expressed as :

$CH_3COOH$ $+$ $KOH$ -----> $CH_3COO^{-}K^+$ $+$ $H_2O$

Concentration of $CH_3COO^{-$ ion = $\frac{0.0090}{Total volume (L)}$

= $\frac{0.0090}{(95.27+79.06)} *1000$

= 0.052 M

Hydrolysis of $CH_3COO^{-$ ion:

$CH_3COO^{-$ $+$ $H_2O$ -----> $CH_3COOH$ $+$ $OH^-$

$K = \frac{K_w}{K_a} = \frac{x*x}{0.052-x}$

⇒ $\frac{10^{-14}}{1.82*10^{-5}}= \frac{x*x}{0.052-x}$

= $0.5494*10^{-9}= \frac{x*x}{0.052-x}$

As K is so less, then x appears to be a very infinitesimal small number

0.052-x ≅ x

$0.5494*10^{-9}= \frac{x^2}{0.052}$

$x^2 = 0.5494*10^{-9}*0.052$

$x^2 = 0.286*10^{-10$

$x = \sqrt{0.286*10^{-10$

$x =0.535*10^{-5}M$

$[OH] = x =0.535*10^{-5}$

$pOH = -log[OH^-]$

$pOH = -log[0.535*10^{-5}]$

$pOH = 5.27$

pH = 14 - pOH

pH = 14 - 5.27

pH = 8.73

Hence, the pH of the titration mixture = 8.73

Which metal ions can be precipitated out of solution as chlorides?a. Ag+, Hg2+, Co2+b. Cu2+, Cd2+, Bi3+ c. Ag+, Hg22+, Pb2+ d. N

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the qualitative analysis of metal salts , we see that in group I , metal chlorides are precipitated out . It is so because their metal chlorides are insoluble in water .

In this group following metal ions are present

Ag+,

Hg₂²⁺

Pb²⁺

Presence of Oxygen in mitochondria is called Aerobic conditions and under this aerobic conditions Pyruvic acid is converted into Acetyl Co.A which enters Krebs' cycle
while in absence of oxygen which called Anaerobic conditions pyruvic acid is converted into Lactic acid to avoid accumulation of NADH⁺ which inhibit glycolysis and provide NAD⁺ required for glycolysis
