Answer: Thus the correct coefficient for sodium chloride is 2.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The balanced chemical reaction is:

$Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NaCl(aq)\rightarrow PbCl_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)$

Thus the correct coefficient for sodium chloride is 2.

Luden [163]

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CH_3O$ and $C_4H_{12}O_4$

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_yO_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=9.06g$

Mass of $H_2O=5.58g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

<u>For calculating the mass of carbon:</u>

In 44g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 9.06 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 9.06=2.47g$ of carbon will be contained.

<u>For calculating the mass of hydrogen:</u>

In 18g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 5.58 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 5.58=0.62g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Mass of oxygen in the compound = (6.38) - (2.47 + 0.62) = 3.29 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

<u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{2.47g}{12g/mole}=0.206moles$

Moles of Hydrogen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{0.62g}{1g/mole}=0.62moles$

Moles of Oxygen = $\frac{\text{Given mass of oxygen}}{\text{Molar mass of oxygen}}=\frac{3.29g}{16g/mole}=0.206moles$

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.206 moles.

For Carbon = $\frac{0.206}{0.206}=1$

For Hydrogen = $\frac{0.62}{0.206}=3$

For Oxygen = $\frac{0.206}{0.206}=1$

<u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 1 : 3 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is $C_1H_{3}O_1=CH_3O$

For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.

The equation used to calculate the valency is:

$n=\frac{\text{molecular mass}}{\text{empirical mass}}$

We are given:

Mass of molecular formula = 124 amu = 124 g/mol

Mass of empirical formula = 31 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{124g/mol}{31g/mol}=4$

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

$C_{(1\times 4)}H_{(3\times 4)}O_{(1\times 4)}=C_4H_{12}O_4$

Thus, the empirical and molecular formula for the given organic compound is $CH_3O$ and $C_4H_{12}O_4$

The reaction SO2(g)+2H2S(g)←→3S(s)+2H2O(g) is the basis of a suggested method for removal of SO2 from power-plant stack gases. T

kifflom [539]

Answer : The equilibrium $SO_2$ pressure is, $3.93\times 10^{-5}torr$

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$SO_2(g)+2H_2S(g)\rightleftharpoons 3S(s)+2H_2O(g)$

First we have to calculate the standard free energy of reaction $(\Delta G^o)$ .

$\Delta G^o=G_f_{product}-G_f_{reactant}$

$\Delta G^o=[n_{S(s)}\times \Delta G_f^0_{(S(s))}+n_{H_2O(g)}\times \Delta G_f^0_{(H_2O(g))}]-[n_{SO_2(g)}\times \Delta G_f^0_{(SO_2(g))}+n_{H_2S(g)}\times \Delta G_f^0_{(H_2S(g))}]$

where,

$\Delta G^o$ = standard free energy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$\Delta G^o=[3mole\times (0kJ/mol)+2mole\times (-228.57kJ/mol)]-[1mole\times (-300.4kJ/mol)+2mole\times (-33.01kJ/mol)]$

$\Delta G^o=-90.72kJ/mol$

Now we have to calculate the value of $K_p$

$\Delta G^o=-RT\ln K_p$

where,

$\Delta G_^o$ = standard Gibbs free energy = -90.72 kJ/mol

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mole.K

T = temperature = 298 K

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant = ?

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$-90.72kJ/mol=-(8.314J/mol.K)\times (298K) \ln K_p$

$K_p=7.98\times 10^{15}$

Now we have to calculate the value of $K_p$ .

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$SO_2(g)+2H_2S(g)\rightleftharpoons 3S(s)+2H_2O(g)$

The expression for equilibrium constant will be :

$K_p=\frac{(p_{H_2O})^2}{(p_{H_2S})^2\times (p_{SO_2})}$

In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted.

Let the equilibrium $SO_2$ pressure be, x

Pressure of $SO_2$ = Pressure of $H_2S$ = x

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get

$7.98\times 10^{15}=\frac{(22)^2}{(x)^2\times (x)}$

$x=3.93\times 10^{-5}torr$

Thus, the equilibrium $SO_2$ pressure is, $3.93\times 10^{-5}torr$

A sample of cacl2⋅2h2o/k2c2o4⋅h2o solid salt mixture is dissolved in ~150 ml de-ionized h2o. the oven dried precipitate has a ma

Paraphin [41]

We are given that the balanced chemical reaction is:

cacl2⋅2h2o(aq) + k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) ---> cac2o4⋅h2o(s) + 2kcl(aq) + 2h2o(l)

We known that the product was oven dried, therefore the mass of 0.333 g pertains only to that of the substance cac2o4⋅h2o(s). So what we will do first is to convert this into moles by dividing the mass with the molar mass. The molar mass of cac2o4⋅h2o(s) is molar mass of cac2o4 plus the molar mass of h2o.

molar mass cac2o4⋅h2o(s) = 128.10 + 18 = 146.10 g /mole

moles cac2o4⋅h2o(s) = 0.333 / 146.10 = 2.28 x 10^-3 moles

Looking at the balanced chemical reaction, the ratio of cac2o4⋅h2o(s) and k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) is 1:1, therefore:

moles k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) = 2.28 x 10^-3 moles

Converting this to mass:

mass k2c2o4⋅h2o(aq) = 2.28 x 10^-3 moles (184.24 g /mol) = 0.419931006 g

Therefore:

The mass of k2c2o4⋅<span>h2o(aq) in the salt mixture is about 0.420 g</span>

The specific heats of two natural substances are shown in the table. Specific Heat Natural Substance Specific Heat Wet Mud 2.5 J

Novay_Z [31]

The specific heat of a substance is heat released or absorbed by one gram for a change in 1 degree celsius

so higher the specific heat, more the heat required to raise the temperature by same extent or more the heat released on decrease in temperature upto same extent (for two substance)

Here the specific heat of sandy clay is 1.4 J/g °C

So it is less than that of wet mud hence sandy clay is needs to release less energy to decrease its temperature

How long would it take for 1.50 mol of water at 100.0 ∘c to be converted completely into steam if heat were added at a constant

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

To determine the time it takes to completely vaporize the given amount of water, we first determine the total heat that is being absorbed from the process. To do this, we need information on the latent heat of vaporization of water. This heat is being absorbed by the process of phase change without any change in the temperature of the system. For water, it is equal to 40.8 kJ / mol.

Total heat = 40.8 kJ / mol ( 1.50 mol ) = 61.2 kJ of heat is to be absorbed

Given the constant rate of 19.0 J/s supply of energy to the system, we determine the time as follows:

Time = 61.2 kJ ( 1000 J / 1 kJ ) / 19.0 J/s = 3221.05 s
