Answer:

H₃AsO₄(aq) + 4 H₂O(l) + 8 e⁻ ⇒ AsH₃(g) + 8 OH⁻(aq)

Explanation:

Let's consider the half-reaction for the reduction of aqueous arsenic acid to gaseous arsine in a basic aqueous solution.

H₃AsO₄(aq) ⇒ AsH₃(g)

We see that there is an excess of 4 oxygen atoms on the left side. So, we add 4 molecules of water to the left side and 8 hydroxyl ions to the right side.

H₃AsO₄(aq) + 4 H₂O(l) ⇒ AsH₃(g) + 8 OH⁻(aq)

We need to add 8 electrons to the left side to balance the reaction electrically.

H₃AsO₄(aq) + 4 H₂O(l) + 8 e⁻ ⇒ AsH₃(g) + 8 OH⁻(aq)

An iron atom has a mass of ×9.2710−23g and a cooking pot has a mass of 0.500kg
morpeh [17]

The number of iron atoms in a cooking pot that has a mass of 0.500 kg can be solve by dividing it by the mass of the iron atom.

Number of iron atoms = ( 0.5 kg) (1000g / 1kg) ( 1 iron atom / 9.27 x 10^-23 g)

<span>Number of iron atoms = 5.39 x 10 ^24 iron atoms</span>

Sulfurous acid, h2so3, breaks down into water (h2o) and sulfur dioxide (so2). if only one molecule of sulfurous acid was involve
devlian [24]

Explanation:

The given reaction equation will be as follows.

  H_{2}SO_{3} \rightarrow H_{2}O + SO_{2}

Now, number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.

  • H = 2
  • S = 1
  • O = 3

Number of atoms on product side are as follows.

  • H = 2
  • S = 1
  • O = 3

Therefore, this equation is balanced since atoms on both reactant and product sides are equal.

Thus, we can conclude that there is one sulfur atom in the products.

Given six molecules, identify the molecules with polar bonds and the molecules that are polar.CCl4, CH3Cl, H20, CO2, O2
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Non-polar compounds: CCl_4, O_2, CO_2

Polar compounds: CH_3Cl, H_2O

Explanation:

For this question, we must start with the <u>Lewis structure</u> for each molecule and then we can do their respective analysis:

-) CCl_4

In this case, we have 4 equal atoms attached to the central atom. Therefore, we have the <u>same magnitude</u> of electronegativity. Chlorine atoms have <u>different and opposite directions.</u> Therefore due to the orientation the dipole moments cancel and the <u>net dipole moment will be zero</u> and the molecule will be non-polar.

-) O_2

In this case, we have a linear structure in which the magnitude of the dipole moment is the same, but the direction is the <u>opposite</u>. Therefore the dipole moments are canceled and the molecule will be <u>non-polar</u>.

-) CO_2

In this case, we also have a linear structure in which the magnitude of the dipole moment is the same, but the direction is the <u>opposite</u>. Therefore the dipole moments are canceled and the molecule will be <u>non-polar</u>.

-) CH_3Cl

For this molecule, we have a <u>different atom</u>. The hydrogen atom, therefore the magnitude of one of the atoms attached to the central atom is different and the magnitude of the <u>net dipole moment will be different from zero</u> and the molecule will be <u>polar</u>.

-) H_2O

For this molecule, due to the structure of the molecule, the dipole moments of oxygens <u>will not have a totally opposite configuration</u>. Therefore, the net dipole moment will be different from zero and the molecule will be <u>polar</u>.

See figure 1 to further explanations

I hope it helps!

The values used in the scale of pH and pOH are derived from a system designed by ______. Gordonsen Sorenson Curie Dalton
yaroslaw [1]

Sorenson

Explanation:

The values used in the scale of pH and pOH are derived from a system designed by Sorenson. Søren Peter Lauritz Sørensen, a Danish chemist introduced the system of pH and pOH for describing the alkalinity and acidity of substances.

  • The pH and pOH scale is logarithmic scale that ranks the acidity and bascity of compounds.
  • pH is the negative logarithm of the concentration of  hydrogen/hydroxonium ions in solution i.e

              pH = -log₁₀{H⁺]

  • pOH is the negative log of the concentration of the hydroxyl ions in a solution i.e

             pOH = -log₁₀{OH⁻]

Consider a mystery compound having the formula MxTy. If the compound is not an acid, if it contains only two elements, and if M
valkas [14]

Answer:

d.) It is a binary molecular compound.

Explanation:

The compound in question has a formula M{x}T_{y}. The compound is not acidic in nature and the element 'M' is not a metal. This shows that the compound does not contain any metal. Based on the definition of a binary molecular compound as a compound comprising elements that are not metals. Therefore, the compound is obviously a binary molecular compound.
