.ANSWER:Copper is a ductile metal

EXPLAIN :This means that it can easily be shaped into pipes and drawn into wires. Copper pipes are lightweight because they can have thin walls. They don't corrode and they can be bent to fit around corners.

Complete the charge balance equation for an aqueous solution of h2co3 that ionizes to hco−3 and co2−3.

Zielflug [23.3K]

The charge balance equation for an aqueous solution of H₂CO₃ that ionizes to HCO₃⁻ and CO₃⁻² is [HCO₃⁻] = 2[CO₃⁻²] + [H⁺] + [OH⁻]

<h3>What is Balanced Chemical Equation ?</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is the equation in which the number of atoms on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms on the product side in an equation.

The equation for aqueous solution of H₂CO₃ is

H₂CO₃ → H₂O + CO₂

The charge balance equation is

[HCO₃⁻] = 2[CO₃⁻²] + [H⁺] + [OH⁻]

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that The charge balance equation for an aqueous solution of H₂CO₃ that ionizes to HCO₃⁻ and CO₃⁻² is [HCO₃⁻] = 2[CO₃⁻²] + [H⁺] + [OH⁻]

We want to calculate the concentrations of all species in a 0.58 M Na 2 SO 3 (sodium sulfite) solution. The ionization constants

NeX [460]

Explanation:

Reaction equation is as follows.

$Na_{2}SO_{3}(s) \rightarrow 2Na^{+}(aq) + SO^{2-}_{3}(aq)$

Here, 1 mole of $Na_{2}SO_{3}$ produces 2 moles of cations.

$[Na^{+}] = 2[Na_{2}SO_{3}] = 2 \times 0.58$

= 1.16 M

$[SO^{2-}_{3}] = [Na_{2}SO_{3}]$ = 0.58 M

The sulphite anion will act as a base and react with $H_{2}O$ to form $HSO^{-}_{3}$ and $OH^{-}$ .

As, $K_{b} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{a_{2}}}$

= $\frac{10^{-14}}{6.3 \times 10^{-8}}$

= $1.59 \times 10^{-7}$

According to the ICE table for the given reaction,

$SO^{2-}_{3} + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons HSO^{-}_{3} + OH^{-}$

Initial: 0.58 0 0

Change: -x +x +x

Equilibrium: 0.58 - x x x

So,

$K_{b} = \frac{[HSO^{-}_{3}][OH^{-}]}{[SO^{2-}_{3}]}$

$1.59 \times 10^{-7} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.58 - x}$

$x^{2} = 1.59 \times 10^{-7} \times (0.58 - x)$

x = 0.0003 M

So, x = $[HSO^{-}_{3}] = [OH^{-}]$ = 0.0003 M

$[SO^{2-}_{3}]$ = 0.58 - 0.0003

= 0.579 M

Now, we will use $[HSO^{-}_{3}]$ = 0.0003 M

The reaction will be as follows.

$HSO^{2-}_{3} + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons H_{2}SO_{3} + OH^{-}$

Initial: 0.0003

Equilibrium: 0.0003 - x x x

$K_{b} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.0003 - x}$

$K_{b} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{a_{1}}}$

= $\frac{10^{-14}}{1.4 \times 10^{-2}}$

= $7.14 \times 10^{-13}$

Therefore, $7.14 \times 10^{-13} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.0003 - x}$

As, x <<<< 0.0003. So, we can neglect x.

Therefore, $x^{2} = 7.14 \times 10^{-13} \times 0.0003$

= $0.00214 \times 10^{-13}$

x = $0.0146 \times 10^{-6}$

x = $[OH^{-}] = [H_{2}SO_{3}]$ = $1.46 \times 10^{-8}$

$[H^{+}] = \frac{10^{-14}}{[OH^{-}]}$

= $\frac{10^{-14}}{0.0003}$

= $3.33 \times 10^{-11}$ M

Thus, we can conclude that the concentration of spectator ion is $3.33 \times 10^{-11}$ M.

Select the correct answer. Given: 2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl3 + 3H2 If the chemical reaction produces 129 grams of AlCl3, how many grams

ivann1987 [24]

The reaction produces 2.93 g H₂.

M_r: 133.34 2.016

2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl₃ + 3H₂

Moles of AlCl₃ = 129 g AlCl₃ × (1 mol AlCl₃/133.34 g AlCl₃) = 0.9675 mol AlCl₃

Moles of H₂ = 0.9675 mol AlCl₃ × (3 mol H₂/2 mol AlCl₃) = 1.451 mol H₂

Mass of H₂ = 1.451 mol H₂ × (2.016 g H₂/1 mol H₂) = 2.93 g H₂

suppose medical records indicate that the length of newborn babies (in inches) is normally distributed with a mean of 20 and a s

Tanya [424]

Answer:

0.6826 (68.26%)

Explanation:

1) Find the z-scores:

z = [X - μ ] / σ

a) z-score for 22.6 inches length

X = 22.6
μ = 20
σ = 2.6

z = [ 22.6 - 20 ] / 2.6 = 1.00

b) z-score for 17.4 inches length

X = 17.4
μ = 20
σ = 2.6

z = [ 17.4 - 20 ] / 2.6 = - 1.00

2) Probability

Then, you have to find the probability that the length of an infant is between - 1.00 and 1.00 standards deviations (σ) from the mean (μ).

That is a well known value of 68%, which is part of the 68-95-99.7 empirical rule.

The most exact result is obtained from tables and is 68.26%:

1 - P (z ≥ 1.00) - P (z ≤ - 1.00) = 1 - 0.1587 - 0.1587 = 0.6826 = 68.26%
