If you have 2.4L of SO2 gas (at STP) how many moles of sulfur dioxide do you have?
Answer:
0.107 mole of SO2.
Explanation:
1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4 L at standard temperature and pressure (STP).
With the above information, we can simply calculate the number of mole of SO2 that will occupy 2.4 L at STP.
This can be obtained as follow:
22.4 L contains 1 mole of SO2.
Therefore, 2.4 L will contain = 2.4/22.4 = 0.107 mole of SO2.
Therefore, 0.107 mole of SO2 is present in 2.4 L at STP.

What is the compound formed from the combination of the base and a hydrogen ion
Answer:
Water
Explanation:
When a base react to and hydrogen ion, we can produce water.
According to these equation
H⁺ + OH⁻ ⇄ H₂O Kw: 1×10¹⁴
Remember that OH⁻ is determined by a strong base.
This reaction is called neutralization. You can also produce water with a weak base, because OH⁻ are released. For example, let's mention ammonia which is a weak base, it takes protons from water (H⁺)
NH₃ + H₂O ⇄ OH⁻ + NH₄⁺ Kb
When the ammonium ion (acid), reacts to a base, you produce water.
NH₄⁺ + NaOH → NH₃ + H₂O + Na⁺

Calculate the concentration of H3O+ in a solution that contains 5.5 × 10-5 M OH- at 25°C. Identify the solution as acidic, basic, or neutral.
Explanation:
To calculate [H3O+] in the solution we must first find the pH from the [ OH-]
That's
pH + pOH = 14
pH = 14 - pOH
To calculate the pOH we use the formula
pOH = - log [OH-]
And [OH-] = 5.5 × 10^-5 M
So we have
pOH = - log 5.5 × 10^ - 5
pOH = 4.26
Since we've found the pOH we can now find the pH
That's
pH = 14 - 4.26
pH = 9.74
Now we can find the concentration of H3O+ in the solution using the formula
pH = - log H3O+
9.74 = - log H3O+
Find the antilog of both sides
H3O+ = 1.8 × 10^ - 10 MThe solution is basic since it's pH lies in the basic region.

How many moles of NaF must be dissolved in 1.00 liter of a saturated solution of PbF 2 at 25°C to reduce the [Pb 2+] to 1.0 × 10 –6 M? The K sp for PbF 2 at 25 °C is 4.0 × 10 –8.
Answer:
0.1957 moles of NaF
Explanation:
The Pb²⁺ and F⁻ are in equilibrium with PbF₂ as follows:
PbF₂(s) ⇄ Pb²⁺(aq) + 2F⁻(aq)
Where Ksp expression is:
Ksp = 4.0x10⁻⁸ = [Pb²⁺] [F⁻]²
A saturated solution contains the maximum possible amount of Pb²⁺ and F⁻. That is:
PbF₂(s) ⇄ Pb²⁺(aq) + 2F⁻(aq)
PbF₂(s) ⇄ X + 2X
Where X is amount of ions presents in solution
4.0x10⁻⁸ = [Pb²⁺] [F⁻]²
4.0x10⁻⁸ = [X] [2X]²
4.0x10⁻⁸ = 4X³
4.0x10⁻⁸/4 = X³
1.0x10⁻⁸ = X³
2.15x10⁻³M = X
That means initial concentration of Pb²⁺ is = X = 2.15x10⁻³M and [F⁻] = 2X = 4.30x10⁻³M
Now, using again Ksp, if you want a [Pb²⁺] = 1.0x10⁻⁶M, the [F⁻] you need is:
4.0x10⁻⁸ = [Pb²⁺] [F⁻]²
4.0x10⁻⁸ = [1.0x10⁻⁶M] [F⁻]²
0.04M = [F⁻]²
0.2M = [F⁻]
You need a final concentration of 0.2M of F⁻. As initial concentration was 4.30x10⁻³M and volume of the buffer is 1.00L, the moles of F⁻ = moles of NaF you must add are:
0.2M - 4.30x10⁻³M =

Answer:
ΔS surrounding (entropy change of the reservoir) = -1 J/K
Explanation:
Given:
Change in heat (ΔH) = 150 joules
Temperature (T) = 150 K
Find:
ΔS surrounding (entropy change of the reservoir)
Computation:
ΔS surrounding (entropy change of the reservoir) = - ΔH / T
ΔS surrounding (entropy change of the reservoir) = - 150 / 150
ΔS surrounding (entropy change of the reservoir) = -1 J/K
Why can long chain fatty acids can form micelles in solutions with pH > 7 but are insoluble in pH < 5
Answer:
In basic conditions that is ( pH > 7 ), the equilibrium shifts towards right and produces a lot of (-ve) negatively charged fatty acids which are polar, In water, since they have long hydrophobic hydrocarbon part, this form micelles where the hydrocarbon part remain inside the sphere and -coo- group remain outside the sphere due to H-bonding interaction with water.
At ( pH < 5 ) I.e acidic conditions, the equilibrium shift to the left giving neutral molecules which can not have stronger H-bonding interaction .
So micelles cant form as they become insoluble.

An individual was injected with 80 mg of inulin and 960,000 counts per min (cpm) of tritium-labeled water (3H20) to determine the volume of various body fluid compartments. After equilibration a blood sample was obtained and the plasma inulin concentration was 0.5 mg% and the plasma activity (concentration) of tritium was 20 cpm/ml. The volumes of which body compartments can be determined?
The measurement of body fluid compartments can be achieved by the dilution of chemical compounds that only circulate and disperse in the region of selected areas in the body. The dilution process is dependent on how the concentration is defined.
Given that:
the concentration of plasma insulin after equilibrium = 0.5 mg %∴
Concentration C = 0.5 mg/100
Concentration C = 0.005 mg/ml
The mass of insulin = 80 mgSince the mass amount of the chemical compound(i.e. insulin) and the concentration is known.
The volume of the body fluid compartment can be calculated as:
[tex]\mathbf{volume = \dfrac{\text{mass of the marker }}{concentration }}[/tex]
[tex]Volume = \dfrac{80 \ mg}{0.005 \ mg/ml}[/tex]
Volume = 16000 ml
Thus, it is known that insulin is generally utilized for the measurement of the extracellular fluid volume and serves as a cell impermeant marker.
As a result;
The volume of the extracellular fluid compartment is 16000 ml.
However, the tritium-labeled water is a good marker for the entire body fluid compartment due to the fact that:
its diffusion occurs throughout the entire body,it is identical to water and;the equilibrium concentration is typically easy to measure due to the radioactive characteristics of tritium.Given that:
plasma activity of tritium = 20 cpm/ml
i.e.
In 1 ml of plasma, 20 cpm of tritium is present.
As such, in 960,000 counts per min (cpm) of tritium-labeled water, the volume of the whole body compartment is:
[tex]\mathbf{= \dfrac{960000}{20} ml \plasma}[/tex]
= 48000 ml of plasma
Therefore, we can conclude that the volumes of the body compartment that can be determined are:

Answer:
Depends on the reaction.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, the answer is depends on the reaction since the ratios between the rates of both consumption and formation depend upon the stoichiometric coefficients in the chemical reaction. For instance, for the reaction:
A -> 2B
The relationship is:
[tex]\frac{1}{-1}r_A =\frac{1}{2} r_B[/tex]
Therefore, we can see that the rate of consumption of A half the rate of formation of B, but is we consider the following chemical reaction:
2A -> B
The relationship is:
[tex]\frac{1}{-2}r_A =\frac{1}{1} r_B[/tex]

All the carbon was changed to 7.851 g of CO2, and all the hydrogen was changed to 4.018 g of H2O . What is the empirical formula of the original compound
Answer:
Empirical formula is: C₂H₅
Explanation:
The chemical equation of burning of a compound that conatins only Carbon and Hydrogen is:
CₓHₙ + O₂ → XCO₂ + n/2H₂O
That means the moles of CO₂ produced are the moles of Carbon in the compound and moles of hydrogen are twice moles of water. Empirical formula is the simplest ratio between moles of each element in the compound. Thus, finding molse of C and moles of H we can find empirical formula:
Moles C and H:
Moles C = Moles CO₂:
7.851g CO₂ ₓ (1mol / 44g) = 0.1784 moles CO₂ = Moles C
Moles H = 2 Moles H₂O
4.018g H₂O ₓ (1mol / 18.01g) = 0.2231 * 2 = 0.4417 moles H
Ratio C:H
The ratio between moles of hydrogen and moles of Carbon are:
0.4417 moles H / 0.1784 moles C = 2.5
That means there are 2.5 moles of H per mole of Carbon. As empirical formula must be given only in whole numbers,

Na²O (sodium oxide) will be a base when exposed to water H²O
Explanation:
Sodium Oxide Na²O, will become Sodium Hydroxide after being exposed to water (at 80% I believe).
The oxygen ion in Na²O has 2 extra electrons which makes it highly charged and very attractive to hydrogen ions. The attraction is so strong that when Na²O comes in contact with H²O, the O(-2) strips off a hydrogen from water, forming 2 x OH ions which of course are still strongly basic.
Oxygen condenses into a liquid at approximately 90 K. What temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, does this correspond to?
Answer:
-297.67 °F
Explanation:
Oxygen condenses into a liquid at approximately 90 K. We can convert any temperature in the Kelvin scale (absolute scale) to the Fahrenheit scale using the following expression.
°F = (K − 273.15) × 9/5 + 32
°F = (90 − 273.15) × 9/5 + 32
°F = (-183.15) × 9/5 + 32
°F = -329.67 + 32
°F = -297.67 °F

The given question is incomplete.
The complete question is:
When methane is burned with oxygen, the products are carbon dioxide and water. If you produce 9 grams of water and 11 grams of carbon dioxide from 16 grams of oxygen, how many grams of methane were needed for the reaction?
Answer: 4 grams of methane were needed for the reaction
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
{tex]CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O[/tex]
Given: mass of oxygen = 16 g
Mass of carbon dioxide = 11 g
Mass of water = 9 g
Mass of products = Mass of carbon dioxide + mass of water = 11 g +9 g = 20 g
Mass or reactant = mass of methane + mass of oxygen = mass of methane + 16 g
As mass of reactants = mass of products
mass of methane + 16 g= 20 g
mass of methane = 4 g
Thus 4 grams of methane were needed for the reaction
