Answer : The correct option is, (A) [H_3O^+]=[OH^-] because one of each is produced every time an [H^+] transfers from one water molecule to another.

Explanation :

As we know that, when the two water molecule combine to produced hydronium ion and hydroxide ion.

The balanced reaction will be:

HOH+HOH\rightarrow H_3O^++OH^-

Acid : It is a substance that donates hydrogen ion when dissolved in water.

Base : It is a substance that accepts hydrogen ion when dissolved in water.

From this we conclude that, the hydrogen ion are transferred from one water molecule to the another water molecule to form hydronium ion and hydroxide ion. In this reaction, one water molecule will act as a base and another water molecule will act as an acid.

Hence, the correct option is, (A)

How many iodide ions are present in 65.5ml of .210 m AlI3 solution
blondinia [14]

Answer:

2.48\times 10^{22} ions are present in solution.

Explanation:

Molarity of the solution = 0.210 M

Volume of the solution = 65.5 ml = 0.0655 L

Moles of aluminum iodide= n

Molarity=\frac{\text{Moles of compound}}{\text{Volume of the solution(L)}}

0.210M=\frac{n}{0.0655 L}

n = 0.013755 moles of aluminum iodide

1 mole of aluminum iodide contains 3 moles of iodide ions:

Then 0.013755 moles of aluminum iodide will contain:

3\times 0.013755 moles=0.041265 mol of iodide ions

Number of iodide ions in 0.041265 moles:

0.041265 mol\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=2.48\times 10^{22} ions

2.48\times 10^{22} ions are present in solution.

In May 2016, William Trubridge broke the world record in free diving (diving underwater without the use of supplemental oxygen)
Maru [420]

Answer:

The volume that this same amount of air will occupy in his lungs when he reaches a depth of 124 m is - 0.27 L.

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law  

{P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}

Given ,  

V₁ = 3.6 L  

V₂ = ?

P₁ = 1.0 atm

P₂ = 13.3 atm (From correct source)

Using above equation as:

{P_1}\times {V_1}={P_2}\times {V_2}

{1.0\ atm}\times {3.6\ L}={13.3\ atm}\times {V_2}

{V_2}=\frac{{1.0}\times {3.6}}{13.3}\ L

{V_2}=0.27\ L

The volume that this same amount of air will occupy in his lungs when he reaches a depth of 124 m is - 0.27 L.

For the reaction PCl5(g) <--> PCl3(g) Cl2(g) at equilibrium, which statement correctly describes the effects of increasing
xenn [34]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

For the reaction PCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g) at equilibrium, which statement correctly describes the effects of increasing pressure and adding PCl_5, respectively

a) Increasing pressure causes shift to reactants, adding PCl_5 causes shift to products.

b) Increasing pressure causes shift to products ,adding PCl_5 causes shift to reactants.

c) Increasing pressure causes shift to products, adding PCl_5 causes shift to products.

d) Increasing pressure causes shift to reactants,adding PCl_5 causes shift to reactants

Answer: Increasing pressure causes shift to reactants, adding PCl_5 causes shift to products.

Explanation:

Any change in the equilibrium is studied on the basis of Le-Chatelier's principle.

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

For the given equation:

PCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)

a)  If the pressure is increased, the volume will decrease according to Boyle's Law. Now, according to the Le-Chatlier's principle, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease in pressure is taking place. As the number of moles of gas molecules is lesser at the reactant side. So, the equilibrium will shift in the left direction. i.e. towards reactants.

b) If PCl_5 is added, the equilibrium will shift in the direction where PCl_5 is decreasing. So, the equilibrium will shift in the right direction. i.e. towards products.

nasty-shy [4]

Answer: The workdone W = 505J

Explanation:

Applying the pressure-volume relationship

W= - PΔV

Where negative sign indicates the power is being delivered to the surrounding

W = - 1.0atm * ( 5.88 - 0.9)L

= - 1.0atm * (4.98)

W = -4.98 atmL

Converting to Joules

1atmL = 101.325J

-4.98atmL = x joules.

Work done in J = -4.98 * 101.325

W= -505J

Therefore the workdone is -505J
