Answer:

2H2(g) + O2(g) ------------------> 2H2O(g)

Explanation:

Basically, the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen is a type of combination reaction and forms steam as its end product. The pure hydrogen burns with a blue flame with oxygen. Industrially, where the combination of hydrogen and oxygen is needed to undergo rapidly, platinum catalyst is introduced. This reaction gives steam rapidly. Platinum speeds up the rate of the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen gases.

Tell whether the following pairs of compounds are identical, constitutional isomers, stereoisomers, or unrelated. (a) cis-1,3-Di

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

(a) Constitutional Isomers

(b) Constitutional Isomers

Explanation:

Constitutional isomers are also known with the name Structural Isomers. These are the compounds which have same chemical formula but differ in arrangement of atoms i.e. structure.

Both the compounds cis-1,3-dibromocyclohexane and trans-1,4-dibromocyclohexane have the same chemical formula $C_{6} H_{10} Br_{2}$ but have different structure as shown in the image below.

In the second case the compounds 2,3-dimethylhexane and 2,3,3-trimethylpentane, both have same chemical formula $C_{8} H_{18}$ but have different structures which is shown in the image below.

Thus it is clear that in both the groups (a) and (b) the given compounds are Constitutional Isomers.

Hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, is common in many households and is used as a bleaching agent. It usually comes in a dark, opaque bottl

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

Hydrogen peroxide should be stored in

1) a cool environment

2) with amber bottles away from sunlight

3) with little drops of sodium phosphate

Explanation:

It has been confirmed that heat and light aids in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide according to the equation; 2H2O2→2 H2O + O2.

This means that hydrogen peroxide must be stored in a cool place. This will reduce its rate of decomposition. Secondly, it should be stored in amber bottles away from light since light also aids in its decomposition.

Thirdly, drops of sodium phosphate may be added to prevent its catalytic decomposition during storage.

Consider the formation of nitryl fluoride: 2NO2(g)+F2(g)⇌2NO2F(g) The reaction is first order in F2 and second order overall. Wh

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Rate = $k[NO_{2}][F_{2}]$

Explanation:

Two reactants are present in this reaction which are $NO_{2}and F_{2}$
We know overall order of a reaction is summation of individual order with respect to reactants present in rate law equation.
Here, overall order of reaction is 2 including first order with respect to $F_{2}$
So, rate of reaction should also be first order with respect to another reactant i.e. first order with respect to $NO_{2}$
So, rate law: rate = $k[NO_{2}][F_{2}]$

The specific heat of aluminum is 0.214 cal/g.oC. Determine the energy, in calories, necessary to raise the temperature of a 55.5

Natasha2012 [34]

For this problem, we use the formula for sensible heat which is written below:

Q= mCpΔT
where Q is the energy
Cp is the specific heat capacity
ΔT is the temperature difference

Q = (55.5 g)(0.214 cal/g·°C)(48.6°C- 23°C)
Q = 304.05 cal

Consider the following oxides: SO2, Y2O3, MgO, Cl2O, and N2O5. How many are expected to form acidic solutions in water? Consider

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Three of the five oxides are expected to form acidic solutions in water

Explanation:

We have different types of oxides : Acidic oxides, Basic oxides, Amphoteric oxides, Peroxides and Higher oxides.

Only acidic oxides will dissolve in water to give an acidic solution.

Considering the given oxides carefully,

SO2 will dissolve in water to produce H2SO3 which is acidic.

Y2O3 will dissolve in water to produce Yttrium(III) hydroxide which is basic.

MgO will dissolve in water only to produce Mg(OH)2 which is also basic.

Cl2O dichlorine mono oxide will dissolve in water to produce HClO which is acidic.

N2O5 will dissolve in water to produce HNO3 which is also acidic.
