Answer:

b. 16, reactant side

Explanation:

Let's consider the following redox reaction.

MnO₄⁻(aq) + I⁻(aq) → Mn²⁺(aq) + I₂(s)

We can balance it using the ion-electron method.

Step 1: Identify both half-reactions

Reduction: MnO₄⁻(aq) → Mn²⁺(aq)

Oxidation: I⁻(aq) → I₂(s)

Step 2: Perform the mass balance, adding H⁺(aq) and H₂O(l) where appropriate

MnO₄⁻(aq) + 8 H⁺(aq) → Mn²⁺(aq) + 4 H₂O(l)

2 I⁻(aq) → I₂(s)

Step 3: Perform the charge balance, adding electrons where appropriate

MnO₄⁻(aq) + 8 H⁺(aq) + 5 e⁻ → Mn²⁺(aq) + 4 H₂O(l)

2 I⁻(aq) → I₂(s)  + 2 e⁻

Step 4: Multiply both half-reactions by numbers so that the number of electrons gained and lost are equal

2 × (MnO₄⁻(aq) + 8 H⁺(aq) + 5 e⁻ → Mn²⁺(aq) + 4 H₂O(l))

5 × (2 I⁻(aq) → I₂(s)  + 2 e⁻)

Step 5: Add both half-reactions and cancel what is repeated on both sides

2 MnO₄⁻(aq) + 16 H⁺(aq) + 10 e⁻ + 10 I⁻(aq) → 2 Mn²⁺(aq) + 8 H₂O(l) + 5 I₂(s)  + 10 e⁻

The balanced reaction is:

2 MnO₄⁻(aq) + 16 H⁺(aq) + 10 I⁻(aq) → 2 Mn²⁺(aq) + 8 H₂O(l) + 5 I₂(s)

Compare and contrast how observations and results can be used to
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

by statistical analyses, especially by determining the p-value

Explanation:

In general, observations and results obtained from experimental procedures are subjected to a statistical test to check the robustness of the working hypothesis. The p-value is the most widely used statistical index in order to test such observations and results. The p-value is the statistical probability of obtaining extreme observed results when the null hypothesis is considered correct. A p-value lesser than 0.05 generally is considered statistically significant and then the null hypothesis can be rejected. In consequence, a very low p-value (which is obtained by statistical analysis of the observations and results), indicates that there is strong evidence in support of the alternative hypothesis.

You have 4 moles of a gas in a 50 L container held at 2 atm pressure. Currently the temperature is 27 ºC. R = 0.0821 L*atm/(mol*
Mariulka [41]
The formula used for determining gas pressure, volume and temperature interaction would be PV=nRT. 

<span>• What is the temperature in Kelvins?
</span>You already right at this part. Kelvin temperature formula from celsius should be:
K= C+273.15= 
<span>K= 27 +273.15 = 300.15 
It is important to remember that the formula in this question is using Kelvin unit at temperature, not Celcius or Fahrenheit.
</span>
<span>• Assuming that everything else remains constant, what will happen to the pressure if the temperature decreases to -15 ºC?
</span>In this case, the temperature is decreased from 27C into -15C and you asked the change in the pressure.
Using PV=nRT formula, you can derive that the temperature will be directly related to pressure. If the temperature decreased, the pressure will be decreased too. 

<span> If you increase the number of moles to 6 moles, increase temperature to 400K and reduce the volume to 25 L, what will the new pressure be?
</span>PV=nRT
P= nRT/V
P= 6 moles* <span>0.0821 L*atm/(mol*K) * 400K/25L= 7.8816 atm</span>
