help! (Basic level-stoichiometry).

>based on the reaction above
presumably meaning the numerical values given in the example

consider H2SO4 to be a strong acid, ie fully dissociated, then final [H+] = the initial [H2SO4] so 0.13 M

(IIRC pKa of H2SO4 and H3O+ (hydronium) are similar so the above might not really be true but good enough for the problem so far).

>[KI]
literally plug n chug this is a dilution
0.025M*(1/10) = 0.0025M

>[iodide]
The two species K+ and I- are in a 1:1 ratio, so the concentration of K+ is the same of that of I-.

>[H2O2]
another plug n chug
>[S2O3]2-
>again just multiply the values given

Thank you. I understand this is kiddie level stuff, but I have left it to the last minute.

>>112746
for the dilutions the formula being used is
m_1*V_1 = m_2*V_2

m_2 = (m_1)(V_2/V_1)

>>112748
also, equilibrium calculations (slightly more complicated than the problems you posted) are generally performed using an "ICE" or "RICE" table.

I have no idea.
Once I finished electron geometry and molecular orbital theory without any trouble, but I've gotten completely lost on this area.

Honestly I can't understand what I'm supposed to do on the calculator for the next few quesitons.

I never chose to take final 2-years of highschool Chemistry or even Mathematics, I always interested in Languages and history.

But my parents pressured me into taking chemistry at university. At this point I don't feel like I can keep up anymore. The frustrating thing is I know it's basic level stuff, but I don't have any backround in what a reagent is and I'm totally miserable doing this subject.

I can't just quit though if I ever want to study anything else at Uni again. Right?

Look at the units, always. (This is called dimensional analysis).
The dilution calculations return a value in concentration (M) b/c (cm^3/cm^3) cancel out.

This is the text I recommended.

no, I guess you can't quit

>m_2 = (m_1)(V_2/V_1)
m_2 = (m_1)(V_1/V_2)
