    Titration of Nitrous Acid with Sodium Hydroxide

    Both concentrations are in equal proportion and neither consumes the other. So that means there is 25.0 + 25.0 for a combined total of 50ml?

    Calculating Kp for a Gas-Phase Equilibrium Reaction

    The rest of Xe has gone to the formation of XeF4

    Titration of Nitrous Acid with Sodium Hydroxide

    A 25.0 ml sample of 0.150 M HNO2 is titrated with a 0.150 M NaOH solution. What is the pH at the equivalence point? The Ka of HNO2 is 4.50x10-4 What I can't get is the fact I don't know how much has already been titrated at the equivalence point. So it's difficult to know the total volume...

    Calculating Kp for a Gas-Phase Equilibrium Reaction

    Oh, sorry. Xe(g) + 2F2(g) ---> XeF4(g)

    Calculating Kp for a Gas-Phase Equilibrium Reaction

    It must have left the container? I don't know, really :\

    Calculating Kp for a Gas-Phase Equilibrium Reaction

    A reaction mixture initially contains 2.24 atm Xe and 4.27 atm F2. If the equilibrium pressure of Xe is 0.34 atm, determine Kp for the reaction. This question came out of the blue, and all I can think of is that Kp=(PXe)(PF2), but the answer is supposed to be 25. I don't get it? Any...

    Kp and Decomposition (Chemistry)

    For the reaction at 523K PCl5 (g) <-> PCl3 (g) + Cl2 (g) and Kp = 0.500 What percentage of PCl5(g) will decompose if 0.100 atm of PCl5(g) is placed in a closed vessel at 523K? I am unsure of how to approach this problem, if anyone could give some insight I would greatly appreciate it.

    How Do You Calculate the Resistance of a Light Bulb in a Series Circuit?

    So, pardon me, but I'd get the following? 23.4Rb^2 + (23.4)288Rb + (23.4)144^2 - 120Rb = 0

    How Do You Calculate the Resistance of a Light Bulb in a Series Circuit?

    Homework Statement A light bulb is wired in series with a 144Ohm resistor, and they are connected across a 120.0-V source. The power delivered to the light bulb is 23.4W. What is ther resistance of the light bulb? Note that there are two possible answers. Homework Equations P = I^2R...

    How Does Inserting a Dielectric Affect Capacitor Voltage?

    Thanks for the reply. But how do I set it up? I am so confused. I know it is simple, but some problems I just can't wrap my head around mathematically. Any and all help is very much appreciated!

    How Does Inserting a Dielectric Affect Capacitor Voltage?

    Homework Statement An empty capacitor is connected to a 12.0-V battery and charged up. The capacitor is then disconnected from the battery, and a slab of dielectric material (K = 2.8) is inserted between the plates. Find the amount by which the potential difference across the plates changes...

    Finding the Threshold Force for a Bike Wheel and Step to Lose Contact

    Glad I found this. I'm doing the exact same problem out of the Cutnell Physics 7th Ed text. I get that there is a pivot point, but what the heck do I do? This problem is wracking my brains. Can anyone suggest what to start with? Once I get a hint I can probably piece it together. Much...

    How long does it take for the sun to move its own diameter?

    Thank god someone answered this. I've been stuck on the exact same problem from the same text. The question is worded quite poorly.

    Get equation for velocity of a satellite

    Derive an equation for the velocity around Earth. Satellite has no mass. Radius not given. Only period, G, and ME (earth) G = 6.67X10^-11 nm^2/kg^2 | Earth = 5.98x10^24 kg | Period = T = 1.20x10^4s I know I can find radius, and then find velocity. But I am supposed to derive an...
