Concept explainers
Hydrogen peroxide is used as a cleaning agent in thetreatment of cuts and abrasions for several reasons. It isan oxidizing agent that can directly kill many microorganisms;it decomposes upon contact with blood, releasingelemental oxygen gas (which inhibits the growthof anaerobic microorganisms); and it foams upon contactwith blood, which provides a cleansing action. In the laboratory, small quantities of hydrogen peroxidecan be prepared by the action of an acid on an alkalineearth metal peroxide, such as barium peroxide:
What amount of hydrogen peroxide should result when1.50 g of barium peroxide is treated with 88.0 mL ofhydrochloric acid solution containing 0.0272 g of HClper mL? What mass of which reagent is left unreacted?

EBK CHEMICAL PRINCIPLES
- Ideally nonpolarizable electrodes can1. participate as reducers in reactions.2. be formed only with hydrogen.3. participate as oxidizers in reactions.4. form open and closed electrochemical systems.arrow_forwardIndicate the options for an electrified interface:1. Temperature has no influence on it.2. Not all theories that describe it include a well-defined electrical double layer.3. Under favorable conditions, its differential capacitance can be determined with the help of experimental measurements.4. A component with high electronic conductivity is involved in its formation.arrow_forwardTo describe the structure of the interface, there are theories or models that can be distinguished by:1. calculation of the charge density.2. distribution of ions in the solution.3. experimentally measured potential difference.4. external Helmoltz plane.arrow_forward
- Indicate the correct options when referring to Luther's equation:1. It is not always easy to compare its results with experimental results.2. It depends on the number of electrons exchanged in the species involved.3. Its foundation is thermodynamic.4. The values calculated with it do not depend on temperature.arrow_forwardIndicate which of the unit options correspond to a measurement of current density.1. A s m-22. mC s-1 m-23. Ω m-24. V J-1 m-2arrow_forwardIndicate the options that are true when referring to electrode membranes:1. The Donnan potential, in general, does not always intervene in membranes.2. There are several ways to classify the same membrane.3. Any membrane can be used to determine the pH of a solution.4. Only one solution and one membrane are needed to determine the pH of that solution.arrow_forward
- Calculate the maximum volume of carbon dioxide gasarrow_forwardIn galvanic cells, their potential1. can be measured with a potentiometer2. does not depend on the equilibrium constant of the reaction occurring within them3. is only calculated from the normal potentials of the electrodes they comprise4. can sometimes be considered a variation in a potential differencearrow_forwardIf some molecules in an excited state collide with other molecules in a ground state, this process1. can occur in solution and in the gas phase.2. can be treated as a bimolecular process.3. always results in collisional deactivation.4. does not compete with any other process.arrow_forward
- Radiation of frequency v is incident on molecules in their ground state. The expected outcome is that1. the molecules do not change their state.2. the molecules transition to an excited state.3. the molecules undergo a secondary process.4. collisional deactivation occurs.arrow_forwardPredict the major product of the following reaction and then draw a curved arrow mechanism for its formation.
