Answer:

Mass of CuSO4.H2O obtained: $m_{total}=19.52 g$

Explanation:

The molecular weight of the salt is: $M=159.5 g/mol$

<u>In the solution</u>: 12.5 g of CuSO4

In moles: $n=\frac{12.5 g}{159.5 g/mol}=0.078 mol$

<u>Mass of wate</u>r:

5 moles of water per mol of salt: $m=\frac{5mol}{1mol}*0.078mol*\frac{18g}{mol}=7.02 g$

Mass of CuSO4.H2O obtained: $m_{total}=12.5 g + 7.02 g=19.52 g$

Identify the following redox reactions by type. Check all that apply. (a) Fe + H2SO4 → FeSO4 + H2 combination decomposition disp

EastWind [94]

Answer :

(a) displacement reaction

(b) combination reaction

(c) disproportionation reaction

(d) displacement reaction

Explanation :

(a) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$Fe+H_2SO_4\rightarrow FeSO_4+H_2$

This reaction is a single replacement reaction or displacement in which the the more reactive element (Fe) replace the less reactive element (H).

(b) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$S+3F_2\rightarrow SF_6$

This reaction is a combination reaction in which the two reactants molecule combine to form a large molecule or single product.

(c) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$2CuCl_2\rightarrow Cu+CuCl_2$

This reaction is a disproportionation reaction in which the chemical species gets oxidized and reduced simultaneously. It is also considered as a redox reaction.

(d) The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$2Ag+PtCl_2\rightarrow 2AgCl+Pt$

This reaction is a single replacement reaction or displacement in which the the more reactive element (Ag) replace the less reactive element (Pt).

The Keq for the equilibrium below is 5.4 × 1013 at 480.0 °C. 2NO (g) + O2 (g) 2NO2 (g) What is the value of Keq at this temperat

kodGreya [7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The equilibrium constant for $NO_2(g)\rightleftharpoons NO(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)$ equation is $1.36\times 10^{-7}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

The given chemical equation follows:

$2NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2(g)$

The value of equilibrium constant for the above equation is $K_{eq}=5.4\times 10^{13}$

Calculating the equilibrium constant for the given equation:

$NO_2(g)\rightleftharpoons NO(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)$

The value of equilibrium constant for the above equation will be:

$K'_{eq}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{K_{eq}}}\\\\K'_{eq}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{5.4\times 10^{13}}}\\\\K'_{eq}=1.36\times 10^{-7}$

Hence, the equilibrium constant for $NO_2(g)\rightleftharpoons NO(g)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)$ equation is $1.36\times 10^{-7}$

A solution is made by dissolving 58.125 g of sample of an unknown, nonelectrolyte compound in water. The mass of the solution is

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

molecular weight (Mb) = 0.42 g/mol

Explanation:

mass sample (solute) (wb) = 58.125 g

mass sln = 750.0 g = mass solute + mass solvent

∴ solute (b) unknown nonelectrolyte compound

∴ solvent (a): water

⇒ mb = mol solute/Kg solvent (nb/wa)

boiling point:

ΔT = K*mb = 100.220°C ≅ 373.22 K

∴ K water = 1.86 K.Kg/mol

⇒ Mb = ? (molecular weight) (wb/nb)

⇒ mb = ΔT / K

⇒ mb = (373.22 K) / (1.86 K.Kg/mol)

⇒ mb = 200.656 mol/Kg

∴ mass solvent = 750.0 g - 58.125 g = 691.875 g = 0.692 Kg

moles solute:

⇒ nb = (200.656 mol/Kg)*(0.692 Kg) = 138.83 mol solute

molecular weight:

⇒ Mb = (58.125 g)/(138.83 mol) = 0.42 g/mol
