- Hydrogen peroxide is used as a cleansing agent in the treatment of cuts and abrasions for several reasons. It is an oxidizing agent that can directly kill many microorganisms; it decomposes on contact with blood, releasing elemental oxygen gas (which inhibits the growth of anaerobic microorganisms); and it foams on contact with blood, which provides a cleansing action. In the laboratory, small quantities of hydrogen peroxide can be prepared by the action of an acid on an alkaline earth metal peroxide, such as barium peroxide: BaO2(s)+2HCl(aq)H2O2(aq)+BaCl2(aq) What mass of hydrogen peroxide should result when 1.50 g barium peroxide is treated with 25.0 mL hydrochloric acid solution containing 0.0272 g HCI per mL? What mass of which reagent is left unreacted?arrow_forwardWhen an electric current is passed through an aqueous solution of NaCI, the valuable industrial chemicals H2(g), Cl2(g), and NaOH are produced. 2 NaCI(aq) + 2 H2O(l) H2(g) + Cl2(g) + 2 NaOH(aq) What mass of NaOH can be formed from 15.0 L of 0.35 M NaCI? What mass of chlorine is obtained?arrow_forwardColorful fireworks often involve the decomposition of barium nitrate and potassium chlorate and the reaction of the metals magnesium, aluminum, and iron with oxygen. (a) Write the formulas of barium nitrate and potassium chlorate. (b) The decomposition of solid potassium chlorate leads to the formation of solid potassium chloride and diatomic oxygen gas. Write an equation for the reaction. (c) The decomposition of solid barium nitrate leads to the formation of solid barium oxide, diatomic nitrogen gas, and diatomic oxygen gas. Write an equation for the reaction. (d) Write separate equations for the reactions of the solid metals magnesium, aluminum, and iron with diatomic oxygen gas to yield the corresponding metal oxides. (Assume the iron oxide contains Fe3+ ions.)arrow_forward

This ban was brought about due to the persistence of DDT in many different ecosystems, leading to high accumulations of the substance in many birds of prey. The insecticide was shown to cause a thinning of egg shells, pushing many birds toward extinction. If a 20-L drum of DDT was spilled into a pond, resulting in a DDT concentration of 8.75 105 M, how long would it take for the levels of DDT to reach a concentration of 1.41 107 M (a level that is generally assumed safe in mammals)? Assume the decomposition of DDT is a first-order process with a half-life of 56.0 days.arrow_forward
