Answer:

The equations are

1) H_{2}Se+H_{2}O--> H_{3}O^{+}+HSe^{-}

2) HSe^{-} +H_{2}O--> H_{3}O^{+}+Se^{-2}

Explanation:

There are two ionization steps in the dissociation of hydroselenic acid.

In first dissociation the H₂Se loses one proton and forms hydrogen selenide ion as shown below:

H_{2}Se+H_{2}O--> H_{3}O^{+}+HSe^{-}

The next step is again removal of a proton from the base formed above.

HSe^{-} +H_{2}O--> H_{3}O^{+}+Se^{-2}

Ron and Hermione begin with 1.50 g of the hydrate copper(II)sulfate ∙ x-hydrate (CuSO4 ∙ xH2O), where x is an integer. Part of t
Gwar [14]

Answer

5

Explanation:

We can go about this using the percentage compositions.

First, we calculate the percentage composition of the copper sulphate. This is obtainable by using the mass.

0.96/1.5 * 100 = 64%

Hence the percentage by mass of the water present is 36%

The molar mass of the anhydrous sulphate is 64 + 32 +4(16) = 160g/mol

The molar mass of the water is 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mol

Not forgetting that it is in multiples of x, the total molar mass of the water is 18x moles

The total mass of the copper sulphate hydrate is 160+ 18x

Now how do we get x? Like it is said earlier, the percentage composition is constant.

Hence, 64/100 * (160 + 18x) = 160

16000 = 64(160 + 18x)

16000 = 10,240 + 1152x

16,000 - 10,240 = 1152x

1152x = 5760

x = 5760/1152

x = 5

At a given temperature, you have a mixture of benzene (vapor pressure of pure benzene = 745 torr) and toluene (vapor pressure of
swat32
Ideal solutions obey Raoult's law, which states that:

P_i = x_i*(P_pure)_i

where
P_i is the partial pressure of component i above a solution
x_i is the mole fraction of component i in the solution
(P_pure)_i is the vapor pressure of pure component i

In this case,

P_benzene = 0.59 * 745 torr = 439.6 torr
P_toluene = (1-0.59) * 290 torr = 118.9 torr

The total vapor pressure above the solution is the sum of the vapor pressures of the individual components:

P_total = (439.6 + 118.9) torr = 558.5 torr

Assuming the gas phase also behaves ideally, the partial pressure of each gas in the vapor phase is proportional to its molar concentration, so the mole fraction of toluene in the vapor phase is:

118.9 torr/558.5 torr = 0.213

lara [203]

Answer:

bonding molecular orbital is lower in energy

antibonding molecular orbital is higher in energy

Explanation:

Electrons in bonding molecular orbitals help to hold the positively charged nuclei together, and they are always lower in energy than the original atomic orbitals.

Electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals are primarily located outside the internuclear region, leading to increased repulsions between the positively charged nuclei. They are always higher in energy than the parent atomic orbitals.

When an alpha particle is emitted from an unstable nucleus, the atomic mass numberof the nucleus
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The correct option is D.

Explanation:

Radioactive substances usually emit different types of particles when they are decaying. Such particles include alpha particles, beta particles and gamma ray. When an alpha particle is emitted from an unstable radioactive nucleus such nucleus usually lost an atomic mass that correspond to that of helium atom. Note that an alpha particle is made up of two protons and two neutrons, which result in mass number of 4. Thus, a nucleus that emit an alpha particle will have its mass number (atomic mass) reduce by 4 and atomic number that is reduced by 2.

Draw the Lewis structure for CH3CH2O2H?
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

hydroperoxyethane

Explanation:

tomsFor the Lewis structure we have to remember that all the atoms must have <u>8 electrons</u> (except for hydrogen). In this structure, we have three types of atoms, Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. So, we have to remember the <u>valence electrons</u> for each atom:

-) Carbon : 4 electrons

-) Hydrogen: 1 electron

-) Oxygen: 6 electrons

We can start with the "CH_3" part. We can put 3 hydrogen bond arroun the carbon. We can use this same logic with  "CH_2". Finally for oxygens, we can put it one bond with CH_2 and a bond between oxygens with a final bond with hydrogen to obtain <u>hydroperoxyethane</u>.

See figure 1 for further explanations.
