How many atoms are found in the products of the following chemical equation?

coldgirl [10]

There are 13 atoms in the product

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

H2SO4 + 2KOH --> K2SO4 + 2H2O

Required

The number of atoms

Solution

In a chemical equation, there are reactants on the left and products on the right

Reactants : H2SO4 + 2KOH

Products : K2SO4 + 2H2O

The number of atoms is determined by their reaction coefficient and the subscript of the atoms in the compound

K2SO4 (coefficient = 1) :

K = 2 atoms

S = 1 atom

O = 4 atoms

Total atoms = 7 atoms

2H2O(coefficient = 2) :

H = 2 x 2 = 4 atoms

O = 2 x 1 = 2 atoms

Total atoms = 6 atoms

Total = 13 atoms

Under standard-state conditions, which of the following half-reactions occurs at the cathode during the electrolysis of aqueous

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The following reaction will occur at cathode:

$Ni^{+2}(aq)+2e--->Ni(s)$

Explanation:

The two half reaction during electrolysis of aqueous nickel sulfate will be

a) anode reaction :

Water will undergo oxidation and will evolve oxygen gas at anode as shown in the given reaction:

$2H_{2}O(l) ----> O_{2}(g) + 4H^{+}(aq) + 4e$

b) Cathode reaction: The reduction of Nickel ion will occur by gain of two electrons as shown in the given equation:

$Ni^{+2}(aq)+2e--->Ni(s)$

Thus the overall reaction will be:

$2H_{2}O(l) + 2Ni^{+2}----> O_{2}(g) + 4H^{+}(aq) + 2Ni(s)$

In what situation do we use a volumetric flask, conical flask, pipette and graduated cylinder? Explain your answer from accuracy

Ad libitum [116K]

A volumetric flask is used to contain a predetermined volume of substance and only measures that volume, for example 250 ml.
Conical flasks can be used to measure the volume of substances but the accuracy they provide is usually up to 10ml. Conical flasks are used in titrations, reactions where the liquid may boil, and reactions which involve stirring.
Pippettes are of two types, volumetric and graduated. Pippettes are used where high accuracy is required and volumetric pippettes come in as little as 1 ml. Pippettes are usually used in titrations.
Graduated cylinders come in a wide variety of sizes and their accuracy can be down to as much as 1 ml. They are used to contain liquids.
