Answer:

B. The air pressure would increase 2X

Explanation:

Pressure = density × acceleration due to gravity × height

p = ρ × g × h

Pressure is force per unit area

p = F/a

Density is mass per unit volume

Pressure is directly proportional to density hence, any change in the density of a body directly affects the change in pressure of the body and vice versa.

Identify some other substances (besides KCl) that might give a positive test for chloride upon addition of AgNO3. do you think i
nlexa [21]

Answer:

-The other substances that give a positive test with AgNO3 are other chlorides present, iodides and bromide.

-It is reasonable to exclude iodides and bromides but it is not reasonable to exclude other chlorides

Explanation:

In the qualitative determination of halogen ions, silver nitrate solution(AgNO3) is usually used. Now, various halide ions will give various colours of precipitate when mixed with with silver nitrate. For example, chlorides(Cl-) normally yield a white precipitate, bromides(Br-) normally yield a cream precipitate while iodides (I-) normally yield a yellow precipitate. Thus, all these ions or some of them may be present in the system.

With that being said, if other chlorides are present, they will also yield a white precipitate just like KCl leading to a false positive test for KCl. However, since other halogen ions yield precipitates of different colours, they don't lead to a false test for KCl. Thus, we can exclude other halides from the tendency to give us a false positive test for KCl but not other chlorides.

Determine the [H3O+] in a 0.265 M HClO solution. The Ka of HClO is 2.9 × 10-8.
dexar [7]

8.8 × 10-5 M is the  [H3O+] concentration in 0.265 M HClO solution.

Explanation:

HClO is a weak acid and does not completely dissociate in water as ions.

the equation of dissociation can be written and ice table to be formed.

 HClO +H2O ⇒ ClO- + H3O+

I  0.265                0        0

C  -x                    +x     +x

E  0.265-x          +x      +x

Now applying the equation of Ka, where Ka is given as 2.9 × 10-8.

Ka = \frac{[ClO-][H3O+]}{[HClO]}

2.9 × 10^-8 = \frac{[x] [x]}{[0.265-x]}

x^{2} = 7.698 x10^{-9}

x = 8.8 × 10-5 M

The hydronium ion concentration is 8.8 × 10-5 M  in 0.265 M solution of HClO.
