Hydrogen is mixed with a stoichiometric amount of oxygen in a 1 L volume at 100 kPa at 300 K. All of the hydrogen is burned at constant but heat leaves the system such that the final temperature is still 300 K. What is the amount of heat released and what is the final pressure in the container?

The density of water at room temperature is less than the assumed 1.0 g/mL used in the calculations for determining the enthalpy of neutralization. How will this small (but real) assumption affect the reported enthalpy of neutralization for the strong acid-weak base reaction? Explain.

The Ka’s for H2SeO2 are K1 = 2.7 x 10-3 K2 = 2.5 x 10-7 Calculate the pH of a solution formed when 30.0 mL of 0.25 M KSeO3 is mixed with a) 1.5 mL of 0.20 M KOH b) 20.0 mL of 0.25 M HCl c) 25.0 mL of 0.20 M K2SeO3
I know how to calculate pH's however, I do not know when to use K1 vs K2, can you explain please?

the aldrich chemical company once manufactured a technical(low purity) grade of pinene that contained 85%(+)- alpha pinene and had a specific rotation of +43. is the 15% (by mass) impurity in this product more likely to be (-)-alpha-pinene, (-)-beta-pinene, or some optically inactive substance? justify your answer with calculations.

Consider the reaction:
2SO2(g)+O2(g)--->2SO3(s)
(a) If 285.5 mL of SO2 is allowed to react with 158.9mL of O2 (both measured at STP), what is the limiting reactant and the theoretical yield of SO3?
(b) If 2.805g of SO3 is collected (measured at STP),
what is the percent yield for the reaction?

A steel reaction vessel at 25 oC initially contained pure NO2 at a concentration of 2.0 x 10-4 mol/L. Some of the NO2 reacted to form N2O4 as described by the following equilibrum equation:
2NO2(g) <----------> N2O4(g)
At equilibrium, the concentration of N2O4 was found to be 6.01 x 10-6 mol/L. What is the concentration-based equilibrium constant (Kc) for this reaction at 25 oC?
I know the correct answer is 170, but I'd like to know how to get there. Thanks!

Consider two solutions, the first being 50.0 mL of 1.00 M CuSO4 and the second 50.0 mL of 2.00 M KOH . When the two solutions are mixed in a constant-pressure calorimeter, a precipitate forms and the temperature of the mixture rises from 21.5 ∘C to 27.7 ∘C .
From the calorimetric data, calculate ΔH for the reaction that occurs on mixing. Assume that the calorimeter absorbs only a negligible quantity of heat, that the total volume of the solution is 100.0 mL , and that the specific heat and density of the solution after mixing are the same as that of pure water.

1. suppose you are working in a busy lab with multiple people
sharing a given analytical balance. if you are weighing something
which you will only have to weigh once, such as weighing out a
reagent onto some weigh paper, which you immediately use to make a
solution. is it OK to use the balance ' tare or zero function to
set the vessel tare to zero? why or why not? if not what should be
done instead?
2. now suppose you are weighing something thay you will have to
weigh again later. for example suppose you are weighing out some
sample into a crucible. later in the procedure you will heat the
sample in the crucible to partially decompose it and you will need
to know the mass of the material thay remains. is it OK to use the
balance's zero fun tin to set the tare to zero? why or why not. if
not what should you do instead.
