Balance the ionic equation by half reaction method O3+ Br- -------> O2 + BrO-



Answer:-

Step -1  
       Find the oxidation number of Br in BrO-
       in combination state oxygen has oxidation number = - 2 
             Br + O = - 1 
               Br -2 = -1 
                   Br = +1  

Step -2 
        write oxidation half reaction 

               Br-  <-----------> BrO- 
               -1                       +1
       here oxidation number of Br is increasing by 2 
       so add 2 electron to balance it 

       we get 
              Br-  <-----------> BrO-   + 2e-             
Step -3 

add OH - ions to balance the charge reaction 

Br- +  2OH-   <----------->BrO-   + 2e
Step - 4 
add H2O to balance the hydrogen and oxygen 

Br- +  2OH-   <----------->BrO-   +H2O +  2e 

balanced oxidation half reaction

 Br- +  2OH-   <----------->BrO-   +H2O +  2e   ---------------(1)

similarly you can get balanced half reduction reaction 

Balanced reaction half reaction 
O3 + H2O + 2 e- <-----------> O2 + 2 OH-        ---------------(2)

add both equations we get 


Br- +  2OH-  + O3 + H2O + 2 e- <-----------> BrO-   + 2e + O2 + 2 OH-
simplify the equation we get

O3+  Br- <----------->O2 +  BrO-

Answer : -  Equation was already balanced

how many grams are in 1.8 x 10^23 atoms of silver


number of moles of silver = number of atoms / Avogadro number 
                                       = 1.8x10^23 atom/ 6.022x10^23 per moles
                                       =0.2989 moles 
mass in grams of silver    = number of moles * molar mass of substance 
                                       = 0.2989 moles * 107.87 gram /moles 

                                       = 32.34 grams 
Answer = 32.34 grams 
how many grams are in  atoms of

What is the molarity of pure water at 20 C?density table of water

 molarity of pure water
 molarity of pure water


   density of water is at 20 C = 0.9982071 gram /ml
let we take 1 liter water 
                                   1 liter = 1000 ml 
            mass of 1 liter water = volume *density  
                                             = 1000 ml * 0.9982071 gram /ml 
                                             =  998.2071 gram

  molar mass of water  H2O = 2* 1.008 + 15.999
                                             = 18.015 gram / moles

number of moles of water in one liter 
                                            = mass of substance / molar mass
                                            = 998.2071 gram/18.015 (gram / moles)
                                            =55.41 moles 

        molarity of water        = number of moles of water / volume of water 
                                           = 55.41 moles/ 1liter 
                                           = 55.41moles/liter
Answer:-  molarity of water at 20 C is 55.41M

What is the final pH after 1 drop (0.05 mL) of 6 M HCI is added to 1.0 L of freshly prepared pure water that was originally at a pH of 7.0. Is there a significant pH change?

What is the final pH after 1 drop (0.05 mL) of 6 M HCI is added to 1.0 L of freshly prepared pure water that was originally at a pH of 7.0. Is there a significant pH change?

Answer:- 

                added volume = 0.05 /1000  
                                        = 0.00005 liter
    number of add moles  = molarity * volume 
                                        = 6moles / liter  * 0.00005 liter 
                                        =0.0003 moles 

total volume of solution   = 1.0 liter  +  0.00005 liter 
                                         = 1.00005 liter 

molarity of new solution = number of moles / volume in liter 
                                        =0.0003/1.00005 
                                        = 2.99x10^-4

    pH is this new solution= - log [H+]

Reaction is HCl  ----------> H+   +   Cl -

                            so [H+] = 2.99x10^-4

                         hence PH =  - log 2.99x10^-4
                                          =  3.52 

Hence there are big change in pH value
Answer  :- yes there are significant change in pH value

what is the approximate expected pH of a 0.030 M HNO3 solution?


Answer:- 
 HNO3, HCl ,H2SO4 are the  strong acid .

The formula for strong acid is  
                                                 pH = - log [H+] 
    
Dissociation reaction of HNO3 is
                                          HNO3 ---> H+    + NO3-

             So concentration of [H+]  = 0.030M 

                                             pH = - log 0.030 

                                            pH = 1.52
Answer pH = 1.52
