Write a statement that explains of a subscript in a chemical formula

Chemistry
1 answer:
Maurinko [17]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

In a chemical formula, a subscript can be defined as the number of atoms of the element immediately mentioned after the subscript. It simply depicts that how many atoms or molecules of a particular type does a substance comprise.

For example, the formula of water is H2O. The 2 here is the subscript which shows that there are two atoms of hydrogen present in the molecule of water. There is no number mentioned after O. Hence, we can tell that a single atom of oxygen is present.

Consider the following chemical reaction: CO (g) + 2H2(g) ↔ CH3OH(g) At equilibrium in a particular experiment, the concentratio
grigory [225]

Answer : The equilibrium concentration of CH_3OH will be, (C) 2.82\times 10^{-1}

Explanation :  Given,

Equilibrium constant = 14.5

Concentration of CO at equilibrium = 0.15 M

Concentration of H_2 at equilibrium = 0.36 M

The balanced equilibrium reaction is,

CO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CH_3OH(g)

The expression of equilibrium constant for the reaction will be:

K_c=\frac{[CH_3OH]}{[CO][H_2]^2}

Now put all the values in this expression, we get:

14.5=\frac{[CH_3OH]}{(0.15)\times (0.36)^2}

[CH_3OH]=2.82\times 10^{-1}M

Therefore, the equilibrium concentration of CH_3OH will be, (C) 2.82\times 10^{-1}

Which of the following has the strongest buffering capacity? A. H2O B. 0.1 M HCl C. 0.1 M carbonic/bicarbonate (H2CO3/HCO3-) at
enyata [817]

Explanation:

(A)   As we know that carbonic acid (H_{2}CO_{3}) and Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO_{3}) forms an acidic buffer.

Therefore, pH of an acidic buffer is given by Hendeerson-Hasselbalch equation as follows.

               pH = pK_{a} + log(\frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}) ........... (1)

So mathematically,  if [Salt] = [Acid]  then \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]} = 1 .

And,  log (\frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}) = 0

Therefore, equation (1) gives us the following.

         pH = pK_{a} (when acid and salt are equal in concentration)

Hence, pK_{a} of H_{2}CO_{3} (carbonic acid) is 6.35.

And, with this we have following results.

In (A) and (D) we have the case \frac{[NaHCO_{3}]}{[H_{2}CO_{3}]}[/tex] i.e. [Salt] = [Acid].

Hence, for the cases pH = pK_{a} = 6.35.

(B)    [NaHCO_{3}] = 0.045 M and,  [H_{2}CO_{3}] = 0.45 M

Hence,   pH = 6.35 + log([NaHCO_{3}][[H_{2}CO_{3}])

                     = 6.35 + log(\frac{0.045}{0.45})

                     = 6.35 + (-1)

                     = 5.35

Therefore, it means that this buffer will be most suitable buffer as it has pH on acidic side and addition of slight excess base will not affect much of its pH value.

(C)    [NaHCO_{3}] = 0.45 M [H_{2}CO_{3}]

                          = 0.045 M

So,       pH = 6.35 + log(\frac{[NaHCO_{3}]}{[H_{2}CO_{3}]})

                  = 6.35 + log(\frac{0.45}{0.045})

                  = 6.35 + (+1)

                 = 7.35

This means that pH on Basic side makes it no more acidic buffer.

A persistent or nonvolatile chemical agent can: Select one: a. explode without warning and releases gases. b. remain in the envi
avanturin [10]

Answer: A persistent or non-volatile chemical agent can remain on a surface for more than 24 hours.

Explanation:

Non-volatile substance is defined as the one which does not readily evaporate into its surrounding. Generally, a non-volatile substance has strong intermolecular forces between its molecules.

A non-volatile substance will take more than 24 hours to remain on the surface.

On the other hand, a substance with weak intermolecular forces present in its molecules will readily evaporate into the atmosphere.

For example, acetic acid is a volatile substance and quickly evaporates into the atmosphere.

Thus, we can conclude that a persistent or non-volatile chemical agent can remain on a surface for more than 24 hours.

The internal energy of 10 moles of helium (a monatomic gas) is 15 kJ. What is the rms speed of the molecules? (The molar mass of
Radda [10]

Answer:

v_{rms}=866.32m/s

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the rms speed of the molecules is computed by:

v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M} }

Whereas the absolute temperature is computed from the internal energy (by using the Cp of helium (3.1156 J/g*K) as shown below:

U=nCvT\\\\T=\frac{U}{nCv}=\frac{15kJ*\frac{1000J}{1kJ} }{10mol*\frac{4.00g}{1mol} *3.1156\frac{J}{g*K} }  \\\\T=120.36K

Thereby, the rms speed results:

v_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3*8.314\frac{kg*m^2}{s^2*mol*K}*120.36K}{4.00\frac{g}{mol}*\frac{1kg}{1000} } } \\\\v_{rms}=866.32m/s

Regards.
