Answer:

The formula of the original halide is SrCl₂.

Explanation:

  • The balanced equation of this reaction is:

SrX₂ + H₂SO₄ → SrSO₄ + 2 HX, where X is the halide.

  • From the equation stichiometry, 1.0 mole of strontium halide will result in 1.0 mole of SrSO₄.
  • The number of moles of SrSO₄ <em>(n = mass/molar mass) </em>= (0.755 g) / (183.68 g/mole) = 4.11 x 10⁻³ mole.
  • The number of moles of SrX are  4.11 x 10⁻³ moles from the stichiometry of the balanced equation.
  • n = mass / molar mass, n =  4.11 x 10⁻³ moles and mass = 0.652 g.
  • The molar mass of SrX₂ = mass / n = (0.652) / (4.11 x 10⁻³ moles) = 158.62 g/mole.
  • The molar mass of SrX₂ (158.62 g/mole) = Atomic mass of Sr (87.62 g/mole) + (2 x Atomic mass of halide X).
  • The atomic mass of halide X = (158.62 g/mole) - (87.62 g/mole) / 2 = 71 / 2  g/mole = 35.5 g/mole.
  • This is the atomic mass of Cl.
  • <em>So, the formula of the original halide is SrCl₂</em>.

How much heat is released during the formation of 3.18 mol HCl(g) in this reaction: H2(g)+Cl2(g) → 2HCl(g) with a H of -184.6 kJ
Vikentia [17]

The given thermochemical reaction is between hydrogen gas and chlorine gas to form hydrogen chloride.

This can be represented as:

H_{2}(g)+Cl_{2}(g)-->2HCl(g)  ΔH_{reaction}^{0}=-184.6 kJ/mol

So when two moles of HCl is formed, 184.6 kJ of energy is released.

Calculating the heat released when 3.18 mol HCl (g) is formed in the reaction:

3.18 molHCl*\frac{184.6kJ}{2molHCl} =293.5 kJ

Therefore, 293.5 kJ of heat is released when 3.18 mol HCl is formed in the reaction between hydrogen and chlorine.

A vitamin c tablet containing 250 mg of ascorbic acid (c6h8o6; ka=8.0×10−5) is dissolved in a 250 ml glass of water. what is the
ikadub [295]
First, we have to get the initial [C6H8O6] = mass/molar mass
 
when the molar mass of C6H8O6 = 176.12 g/mol

∴[C6H8O6] = 0.25 g / 176.12 g/mol 
                    = 0.00142 M

when 
               C6H8O6 ⇄  H+   +  C6H7O6-
intial       0.00142 M       0           0
change    -X                   +X          +X
Equ       (0.00142-X)         X            X
 

so, Ka = [H+][C6H7O6-] / [C6H8O6]

by substitution:

8 x 10^-5 = X * X / (0.00142-X) by solving this equation for X

∴ X = 0.000299 
∴[H+] = 0.000299

∴PH = -㏒[H+]
     
        = -㏒ 0.000299
        = 3.52

Draw a second resonance structure for the following ion (be sure to include the charges and all lone pairs)... + ..N=N=N &lt;---
joja [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Resonance structure occurs in an organic compound that undergoes resonance effects. This resonance effect is sometimes called the mesomeric effect helps to increases the stability of organic compounds that have alternating single bonds and double bonds.

The second resonance structure diagram for the ion given in the question can be found in the attached diagram below.

What is the volume of 43.7 g of helium at stp?
tankabanditka [31]
Answer is: volume of helium is 244.72 liters.
m(He) = 43.7 g.
n(He) = m(He) ÷ M(He).
n(He) = 43.7 g ÷ 4 g/mol.
n(He) = 10.925 mol.
V(He) = n(He) · n(He).
V(He) = 10.925 mol · 22.4 L/mol.
V(He) = 244.72 L.
Vm - molar volume at STP.
n - amount of substance.

What is the mass (in grams) of 8.45 x 1023 molecules of dextrose: C6H12O6 (Mw. 180.16 g/mol)?
Goryan [66]
<span>The mass (in grams) of 8.45 x 10^23 molecules of dextrose is 252.798g Working: Mw. dextrose is 180.16 g/mol therefore 180.16 grams dextrose = 1 mole therefore 180.16 grams dextrose= 6.022x10^23 molecules (Avogadro's number) We have 8.45 x 10^23 molecules of dextrose. Therefore, (180.16 divided by 6.022x10^23) times 8.45x10^23 gives the mass (in grams) of 8.45 x 10^23 molecules of dextrose; 252.798.</span>
