Potassium oxide (K₂O): ionic compound.

Reaction:

K₂O + H₂O →2KOH

KOH = strong base, pH>7

Answer:

Since KOH is a strong base, the solution completely ionizes into K+ and OH- when in water. The reaction KOH --> K+ + OH- takes place. The concentration of [ OH- ] can then be used to calculate the pOH of the solution. pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 1.48 = 12.52

How do I answer and do this

Alecsey [184]

a) When the reaction takes place a yellow precipitate will be formed.

b) The law of conservation of mass is true.

<u>Explanation:</u>

a) When a lead nitrate solution is mixed with a potassium chromate solution, a yellow precipitate containing lead forms according to the equation:

$Pb(NO_3)_2 (aq) + K_2CrO_4 (aq)$ → $2 KNO_3 (aq) + PbCrO_4(s).$

b) Law of conservation of mass for the given reaction is true.

From the given table we know the mass of reactants and its products.

Law of conservation of mass is a principle when a reaction takes place in a closed system, the mass of the products and reactants in the system doesn't change.

⇒The sum of the mass of the reactants = The sum of the mass of the products.

The sum of the reactants = 128.71+128.97.

= 257.68 g.

The sum of the products = 154.10+103.58.

= 257.68 g.

Thus law of conservation of mass is true for the above reaction.

Consider the following operations on the number 7.02 times 10^-2. Without using a calculator, decide which would give a signific

mariarad [96]

Answer: (a). Significantly Larger value

(b). Significantly Smaller value

(c). Significantly Larger value

(d). Significantly Smaller value

Explanation:

This is quite a dicey question to analyze, let us not get too carried away with the simplicity of the mathematical signs involved.

Given that 7.02 × 10⁻² is the number to be compared with.

(a). 7.02 × 10⁻² + 6.10 × 10⁵

from this, we can see a very large number being added to the base number involved, although the base number is carrying a negative power, it does not affect the other greatly.

ANS: the sum would give a significantly larger value

(b). 7.02 × 10⁻² - 6.10 × 10⁵

Here, we can see a very large number subtracted from the base number having a negative power.

the subtraction of this numbers gives a Significantly smaller value than the base number i.e. 7.02 × 10⁻²

ANS: Significantly smaller value

(c). 7.02 × 10⁻² × 6.10 × 10⁵

we would solve this from our basic knowledge of indices

where ⇒ (10ᵃ × 10ᵇ = 10ᵃ⁺ᵇ)

we have,

7.02 × 10⁻² × 6.10 × 10⁵ = (7.02 × 6.10) × 10⁻²⁺⁵ = (7.02 × 6.10) × 10³

this final value (multiplication value) gives a Significantly larger value.

ANS: Significantly larger value

(d). 7.02 × 10⁻² ÷ 6.10 × 10⁵

Also, we apply the indices rule for Division

where ⇒ (10ᵃ ÷ 10ᵇ = 10ᵃ⁻ᵇ)

i.e. 7.02 × 10⁻² ÷ 6.10 × 10⁵ = (7.02 × 6.10) × 10⁻²⁻⁺⁵ = (7.02 × 6.10) × 10⁻⁷

this final value gives a Significantly Smaller value

ANS: Significantly Smaller value

cheers i hope this helps.
