the volume of 2.5% m/v koh which can prepared from 125 ml of a 5% koh solution is calculated using the following formula

m1v1= m2 v2

M1= 5/100= 0.05
v1= 125
m2=2.5/100=0.025
V2=?
v2= m1v1/m2

=0.05 x125 /0.025=250 ml

Answer: 250 mL

Explanation: %(m/v) stands for mass by volume percentage. 2.5%(m/v) means 2.5 grams of a solute present in 100 mL of a solution.

The question asks to calculate the volume of 2.5%(m/v) KOH solution that can be prepared from 125 mL of a 5.0%(m/v) KOH solution.

It's a dilution problem and could easily be solved by using dilution equation:

$C_1V_1=C_2V_2$

where $C_1$ is the concentration before dilution and $C_2$ is the concentration after dilution. Similarly, $V_1$ is the volume before dilution and $V_2$ is the volume after dilution.

Let's plug in the values in the equation:

$5.0(125mL)=2.5(V_2)$

$V_2=\frac{5.0(125mL)}{2.5}$

$V_2$ = 250 mL

So, 250 mL of 2.5%(m/v) KOH solution can be prepared from 125 mL of 5.0%(m/v) KOH solution.

Methane reacts with chlorine in the presence of ultraviolet light

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

When a mixture of methane and chlorine is exposed to ultraviolet light - typically sunlight - a substitution reaction occurs and the organic product is chloromethane. CH 4 + Cl 2 → CH 3 Cl + HCl However, the reaction doesn't stop there, and all the hydrogens in the methane can in turn be replaced by chlorine atoms.

Write a chemical equation for the reaction that occurs in the following cell: Cu|Cu2+(aq)||Ag+(aq)|Ag. Of the two metals, copper

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Answer is given below.

Explanation:

Anode is that electrode where oxidation occurs. Cathode is that electrode where reduction occurs.

In cell representation, half cell present left to salt-bridge notation $(\parallel )$ is anodic system and another half cell present right to salt-bridge notation $(\parallel )$ is cathodic system.

So anode is Cu and cathode is Ag.

oxidation: $Cu-2e^{-}\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)$

[reduction: $Ag^{+}+e^{-}\rightarrow Ag$ ] $\times 2$

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

chemical equation: $Cu+2Ag^{+}(aq.)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq.)+2Ag$

Oxidizing agent is that species which takes electron from another species. Here $Ag^{+}(aq.)$ takes electron from Cu. Hence $Ag^{+}(aq.)$ is the oxidizing agent.
