Answer:

Examples of strong acids are hydrochloric acid (HCl), perchloric acid (HClO4), nitric acid (HNO3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). A weak acid is only partially dissociated, with both the undissociated acid and its dissociation products being present, in solution, in equilibrium with each other.

Identify the element oxidized, the element reduced, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent for the following equation

bazaltina [42]

The element that gains electrons, becomes reduced.

While the one which loses electrons, becomes oxidized.

In this equation,

CH₃OH + Cr₂O₇²⁻---- --> CH₂O + Cr³⁺.

By balancing the equation, we will get:

3CH₃OH + Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 8H⁺ --> 3CH₂O + 2Cr³⁺ + 7H₂O

Here the oxidation state of Cr changes from +6 to +3 that is it is being reduced thus serving as a oxidizing agent while other element retain their charges.

Here Cr₂O₇²⁻ is reduced while CH₃OH is oxidized.

So Cr₂O₇²⁻ serves as a oxidizing agent, while CH₃OH serves as reducing agent .

ratelena [41]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

An AX₂E₂ geometry is derived from an AX₄ parent geometry and is based upon 4 regions of electron density about the central element and defines a tetrahedral geometry and the geometry is bent angular.

An example is the water molecule (H₂O) with two covalent O - H bonds and two free pair electrons on the central oxygen element.

Is it possible to transfer heat from a cold reservoir to a hot reservoir?

tankabanditka [31]

Answer is: B.) Yes, if work is done, this transfer process can take place.

For example, air conditioner involves a cyclic process that transfers heat from a cold reservoir to a hot reservoir, but with use of electricity.

Thermal conductuction is the transfer of heat through physical contact. Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat by microscopic collisions of particles. Heat spontaneously flows from a hotter to a colder body.

The process of heat conduction depends on four basic factors: the temperature gradient, the cross section of the materials involved, their path length and the properties of those materials.

A 0.964 gram sample of a mixture of sodium formate and sodium chloride is analyzed by adding sulfuric acid. The equation for the

frosja888 [35]

Answer: 67.8 %.

Explanation:

Okay, let us delve right into the solution to the question;

The balanced chemical reaction is given by the equation (1) below;

2 HCOONa + H2SO4 ---------> 2 CO + 2 H2O + Na2SO4. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

From the balanced chemical reaction in equation (1) above we can see that; 2 moles of HCOONa reacts with one moles of tetraoxosulphate acid, H2SO4 to produce 2 moles of carbonmonoxide,CO; 2 moles of water, H2O and 1 mole of sodium tetraoxosulphate, Na2SO4.

The parameters given from the question are; total atmospheric pressure, P(t) = 752 torr, volume of CO= 242 mL = 0.242 Litres.

STEP ONE : find the carbon monoxide,CO pressure; P(CO).

Using the formula below;

P(t) = P(CO) + P(H2O). Hence;

P(CO) = P(t) - P(H2O). Note that P(H2O)= 19.8 torr.

==>P(CO)= 752 torr - 19.8 torr = 732.2 torr.

STEP TWO: calculate the number of moles of Carbonmonoxide,CO.

Using the formula below;

Number of moles= pressure(P) × volume(v) / gas constant(R) × temperature (T).

That is, n= PV/RT.

n= 732 torr × 0.242 Litres/ 62.4 × 295.15.

= 9.62 × 10^-3 mol of CO.

STEP THREE:

2 moles of HCOONa = 2 moles of CO.

=> 2 moles of HCOONa = 2 moles of CO/ 2 moles of CO = 1 mol( HCOONa/ CO).

Then, 9.62 × 10^-3 mol of CO × 1 mol( HCOONa/ CO).

==> 9.62 × 10^-3 mol HCOONa × molar masss of HCOONa(68 grams/mol)

= 0.654 grams.

Therefore, the percentage of sodium formate in the original mixture = 0.654 grams/ 0.964 gram × 100 = 67.8 %.

What changes if the degree (amount) of intermolecular bonds of a substance are changed?

elixir [45]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answers are;

volume of a substance

density of a substance

The volume and the density of the substance depend on inter molecular forces of the substance. So, when we will change the degree of inter molecular forces, whether decrease it or increase it, it will affect the volume and density of a substance.
