Answer:

Resting potential

Explanation:

The resting potential is the term used to the describe the difference in electrical charge across a membrane. Ion is solution are capable of carrying a charge so their presence in biological systems is of interest. Two factors affect the resting potential:

the concentration gradients of the ions in solution across the membrane
the permeability of the said membrane to the ions mentioned above

If 35.50 cm3 of a NaOH solution are required for the complete neutralization of a 25.00cm3 sample of 0.200mol dm-3 H2SO4, what i

Morgarella [4.7K]

In this question, you are given the NaOH volume but asked for concentration.
Don't forget that for every 1 mol of NaOH there will be 1 mol OH- ion, but for every 1 mol of H2SO4 there will be 2 mol of H- ion.
To neutralize you need the same amount of OH- and H+, so the equation should be:

OH-= H+
35.50cm3 * x*1= 25cm3* 0.2mol/dm3 *2
x= 10/35.5 mol/dm3= 0.2816/dm3

Which solution contains the largest number of moles of chloride ions?

elixir [45]

Molarity = number of moles of solute/liters of solution
number of moles of solute = molarity x liters of solution

Part (a): 30.00 ml of 0.100m Cacl2
number of moles of CaCl2 = 0.1 x 0.03 = 3x10^-3 moles
1 mole of CaCl2 contains 2 moles of chlorine, therefore 3x10^-3 moles of CaCl2 contains 6x10^-3 moles of chlorine

Part (b): 10.0 ml of 0.500m bacl2
number of moles of BaCl2 = 0.5 x 0.01 = 5x10^-3 moles
1 mole of BaCl2 contains 2 moles of chlorine, therefore 5x10^-3 moles of BaCl2 contains 10x10^-3 moles of chlorine

Part (c): 4.00 ml of 1.000m nacl
number of moles of NaCl = 1 x 0.004 = 0.004 moles
1 mole of NaCl contains 1 mole of chlorine, therefore 4x10^-3 moles of NaCl contains 4x10^-3 moles of chlorine

Part (d): 7.50 ml of 0.500m fecl3
number of moles of FeCl3 = 0.5 x 0.0075 = 3.75x10^-3 moles
1 mole of FeCl3 contains 3 moles of chlorine, therefore 3.75x10^-3 moles of FeCl3 contains 0.01125 moles of chlorine

Based on the above calculations, the correct answer is (d)

Consider the reaction: 2 Al + 3Br2 → 2 AlBr3 Suppose a reaction vessel initially contains 5.0 mole Al and 6.0 mole Br2. What is

timama [110]

Answer:

4 moles of $AlBr_3$ and 1 mole of $Al$ will be present in the reaction vessel

Explanation:

The reaction given in the question is

$2Al + 3 Br_2$ ⇒ $2AlBr_3$

According to the stoichiometric coefficients of the reaction, 2 moles of $Al$ requires 3 moles of $Br_2$ so in this reaction, $Br_2$ is a limiting reagent. So we will consider that $Al$ is in excess.

Now,

Since 3 moles of $Br_2$ requires 2 moles of $Al$

So, for 6 moles of $Br_2$ the moles of $Al$ required = $\frac{2}{3} \times 6$ = 4 moles.

Moles of $Al$ remaining after the completion of reaction = 5 - 4 = 1 mole.

Again,

Since 3 moles of $Br_2$ produces 2 moles of $AlBr_3$

So, moles of $AlBr_3$ produced by 6 moles of $Br_2$ = $\frac{2}{3} \times 6$ = 4 moles.

Therefore, after the completion of reaction, 4 moles of $AlBr_3$ and 1 mole of $Al$ will be present in the reaction vessel.
