EXPLANATIONS

Consider the following combustion reaction: 2 C4H10 + 13 O2 ----> 8 CO2 + 10 H2O. 125 g or C4H10 react with 415 g of O2.

a.) Which mass of CO2 and H2O can be produced?

b.) Which substance is the limiting

Molar mass of C4H10,

MM = 4*MM(C) + 10*MM(H)

= 4*12.01 + 10*1.008

= 58.12 g/mol

mass(C4H10)= 125.0 g

use:

number of mol of C4H10,

n = mass of C4H10/molar mass of C4H10

=(1.25*10^2 g)/(58.12 g/mol)

= 2.151 mol

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

mass(O2)= 415.0 g

use:

number of mol of O2,

n = mass of O2/molar mass of O2

=(4.15*10^2 g)/(32 g/mol)

= 12.97 mol

Balanced chemical equation is:

2 C4H10 + 13 O2 ---> 8 CO2 + 10 H2O

2 mol of C4H10 reacts with 13 mol of O2

for 2.151 mol of C4H10, 13.98 mol of O2 is required

But we have 12.97 mol of O2

so, O2 is limiting reagent

we will use O2 in further calculation

Molar mass of CO2,

MM = 1*MM(C) + 2*MM(O)

= 1*12.01 + 2*16.0

= 44.01 g/mol

According to balanced equation

mol of CO2 formed = (8/13)* moles of O2

= (8/13)*12.97

= 7.981 mol

use:

mass of CO2 = number of mol * molar mass

= 7.981*44.01

= 3.512*10^2 g

According to balanced equation

mol of H2O formed = (10/13)* moles of O2

= (10/13)*12.97

= 9.976 mol

use:

mass of H2O = number of mol * molar mass

= 9.976*18.02

= 1.798*10^2 g

Answer:

mass of CO2 = 3.51*10^2 g

mass of H20 = 1.80*10^2 g

O2 is limiting reagent

Some versions of the periodic table show hydrogen at the top of Group 1A(1) and at the top of Group 7A(17). What properties of h

lawyer [7]

Answer:Hydrogen is placed such because it exhibits some similar characteristics of both group1 and group VII elements.

Explanation:

The reason why hydrogen is similar to group 1 metals:

#It has same valence electron and inorder achieve octet state it can lose that electron and forms H+ ion

#It acts as a good reducing agent similar to group1 metals

#It can also halides

Similarity to halogens:

#hydrogen can also gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration. It can combine with other non metals to form molecules with covalent bonding.

#It exists as diatomin molecule,H2

#Have the same electronegativity nature

#its reaction with other metal

The unit cell for cr2o3 has hexagonal symmetry with lattice parameters a = 0.4961 nm and c = 1.360 nm. If the density of this ma

IRINA_888 [86]

To calculate the packing factor, first calculate the area and volume of unit cell.

Area is calculated as:

$A=6R^{2}\sqrt{3}$

Here, R is radius and is related to a as follows:

$R=\frac{a}{2}$

Putting the value in expression for area,

$A=6(\frac{a}{2})^{2}\sqrt{3}=1.5a^{2}\sqrt{3}$

The value of a is 0.4961 nm

Since, $1 nm=10^{-7}cm$

Thus, $0.4961 nm=4.961\times 10^{-8} cm$

Putting the value,

$Area=1.5(4.961\times 10^{-8}cm)^{2}\sqrt{3}=6.39\times 10^{-15}cm^{2}$

Now, volume can be calculated as follows:

$V=Area\times c$

The value of c is 1.360 nm or $1.360\times 10^{-7} cm$

Putting the value,

$V=(6.39\times 10^{-15}cm^{2})\times (1.360\times 10^{-7} cm)=8.7\times 10^{-22}cm^{3}$

now, number of atom in unit cell can be calculated by using the following formula:

$n=\frac{\rho N_{A}V_{c}}{A}$

Here, A is atomic mass of $Cr_{2}O_{3}$ is 151.99 g/mol.

Putting all the values,

$n=\frac{(5.22 g/cm^{3})(6.023\times 10^{23} mol^{-1})(8.7\times 10^{-22}cm^{3})}{(151.99 g/mol)}\approx 18$

Thus, there will be 18 $Cr_{2}O_{3}$ units in 1 unit cell.

Since, there are 2 Cr atoms and 3 oxygen atoms thus, units of chromium and oxygen will be 2×18=36 and 3×18=54 respectively.

The atomic radii of $Cr^{3+}$ and $O^{2-}$ is 62 pm and 140 pm respectively.

Converting them into cm:

$1 pm=10^{-10}cm$

Thus,

$r_{Cr^{3+}}=6.2\times 10^{-9}cm$

and,

$r_{O^{2-}}=1.4\times 10^{-8}cm$

Volume of sphere will be sum of volume of total number of cations and anions thus,

$V_{S}=V_{Cr^{3+}}+V_{O^{2-}}$

Since, volume of sphere is $V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$ ,

$V_{S}=36\left ( \frac{4}{3}\pi (r_{Cr^{3+})^{3}} \right )+54\left ( \frac{4}{3}\pi (r_{O^{2-})^{3}} \right )$

Putting the values,

$V_{S}=36\left ( \frac{4}{3}(3.14) (6.2\times 10^{-9} cm)^{3}} \right )+54\left ( \frac{4}{3}(3.14) (1.4\times 10^{-8} cm)^{3}} \right )=6.6\times 10^{-22}\times 10^{-8}cm^{3}$

The atomic packing factor is ratio of volume of sphere and volume of crystal, thus,

$packing factor=\frac{V_{S}}{V_{C}}=\frac{6.6\times 10^{-22}cm^{3}}{8.7\times 10^{-22}cm^{3}}=0.758$

Thus, atomic packing factor is 0.758.

Jim takes 45 seconds to walk 180 meters north to a store what is jims meters per second

Delicious77 [7]

It would be 4 meters per second. With this you'd only have to take 180, ans divide 45 from it to finally get your answer! I hope all is well, and you end up passing. (:

Describe the process used to measure out a specific mass of a solid

Svetlanka [38]

Although the process varies slightly from one material to another, the general process is as follows:

1) Choose an appropriate container for the solid. This may be a petri dish or a beaker in which you want to prepare the solution of the solid or any other lab equipment.

2) Place the container on a mass balance, then turn the balance on. The mass balance will automatically zero-out the mass of the container, so that any mass that you add on the container will be the mass of the solid. Alternatively, you may first measure the mass of the empty container alone.

3) Add the solid using a lab spatula. The solid should be added more slowly when the reading on the scale comes close to the desired value.

4) Remove the container from the mass balance after the desired amount of solid has been added.
