Answer:

Option D. 30 mL.

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

HNO3 + KOH —> KNO3 + H2O

From the balanced equation above,

The mole ratio of the acid, nA = 1

The mole ratio of the base, nB = 1

Step 2:

Data obtained from the question. This include the following:

Volume of base, KOH (Vb) =.?

Molarity of base, KOH (Mb) = 0.5M

Volume of acid, HNO3 (Va) = 10mL

Molarity of acid, HNO3 (Ma) = 1.5M

Step 3:

Determination of the volume of the base, KOH needed for the reaction. This can be obtained as follow:

MaVa / MbVb = nA/nB

1.5 x 10 / 0.5 x Vb = 1

Cross multiply

0.5 x Vb = 1.5 x 10

Divide both side by 0.5

Vb = (1.5 x 10) /0.5

Vb = 30mL

Therefore, the volume of the base, KOH needed for the reaction is 30mL.

What is needed to burn the candle (reactant)?

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

wax, candlewick, and oxygen

Explanation:

The burning of the candle is both a physical as well as a chemical change. The reactants are the substances or the raw materials that are required for a reaction to the process. In the process of burning a candle, the reactants are the fuel which includes wax and wick, and oxygen which is found in the air. The products found at the end of the reaction are carbon dioxide and water vapor.

Explain why a propane torch is lit inside a hot air balloon during preflight preparations. Which gas law applies?

Olegator [25]

Propane torch is lit inside a hot air balloon during pre-flight preparation because the heat from the touch is needed to heat the cold air inside the balloon, so that the air will expand and become less dense and rise, thus providing a lift for the balloon. This is line with charle's law, which states that, the volume of a fixed mass of ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. This law implies that, as the temperature of the air inside the balloon increase, the volume of the balloon also increases.

A. Calculate the empirical formula of a molecule with percent compositions: 55.3% potassium (K), 14.6% phosphorus (P), and 30.1%

Otrada [13]

The way you calculate the empirical formula is to firstly assume 100g. To find each elements moles you take each elements percentage listed, times it by one mole and divide it by its atomic mass. (ex: moles of K =55.3g x 1 mole/39.1g, therefore there is 1.41432225 moles of Potassium) Once you’ve completed this for every element you list each elements symbol beside it’s number of moles and divide by the smallest number because it can only go into its self once. After you’ve done this, you’ve found your empirical formula, which is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound. I’ve added an example of a empirical question I completed last semester :)
