Answer:

Although the terms mass percent and percent composition are used interchangeably, they are different terms. The mass percent refers to the percentage of a component in a mixture, while the percent composition refers to the percentage of a particular chemical element in a mixture.

Which of the following is a heterogeneous mixture? Air. Salt water. Steel. Soil.
kicyunya [14]

Answer: Heterogenous mixtures are the ones in which we can see the different components clearly. Air is considered to be homogenous, because we don't see the different noble gases' particles floating around. Salt water is also homogenous, because salt dissolves almost completely into water, becoming hard to see without the proper equipment salt particles in it. Steel is also homogenous, since the metals that compose it are mixed during the heating. The only heterogenous would be soil, because we can see different particles in it, with different sizes, shapes, colors, etc without having to use special equipment.

If it requires 23.4 milliliters of 0.65 molar barium hydroxide to neutralize 42.5 milliliters of nitric acid, solve for the mola
rodikova [14]
Volume Ba(OH)2 = 23.4 mL in liters : 

23.4 / 1000 => 0.0234 L

Molarity  Ba(OH)2 = 0.65 M

Volume HNO3 = 42.5 mL in liters:

42.5 / 1000 => 0.0425 L

number of moles Ba(OH)2 :

n = M x V

n = 0.65 x 0.0234 

n = 0.01521 moles of Ba(OH)2

Mole ratio :

<span>Ba(OH)2 + 2 HNO3 = Ba(NO3)2 + 2 H2O
</span>
1 mole Ba(OH)2 ---------------- 2 moles HNO3
 0.01521 moles ----------------- moles HNO3

moles HNO3 = 0.01521 x 2 / 1

moles HNO3 = 0.03042 / 1

= 0.03042 moles HNO3

Therefore:

M ( HNO3 ) = n / volume ( HNO3 )

M ( HNO3 ) =  0.03042 / 0.0425

M ( HNO3 ) = 0.715 M

Why is the reaction SO2 + H2O → H2SO2 not balanced?
aalyn [17]

There are more oxygen atoms in the reactants while there are less oxygen atoms in the product.

Both sides of the equation is supposed to be balanced for a balanced equation. If any one of them isn't balanced, the equation remains unbalanced.

The main reason why the reaction above can not be balanced is:

This chemical reaction SO2 + H2O -> H2SO2 is not correctly written.

It must be: SO2 + H2O -> H2SO3

The curves represent two possible reaction paths for the decomposition of ammonia, NH3- one can conclude correctly from the grap
DanielleElmas [232]
Hello!

The reaction Heat or ΔH corresponds to the interval A

Reaction Heat is defined as the net change in enthalpy in a chemical reaction. To measure Reaction Heat, the intermediate path doesn't matter, but only the initial and final states.

So, the interval that measures the difference between the initial and final states in this reaction is the interval A, and calculating the enthalpy difference between those two points will give the ΔH of reaction.

Have a nice day!
