(b) After 20. mL of the acid has been added. pH = the tolerance is +/-1 in the 3rd significant digit

(c) After half of the NH3 has been neutralized. pH = the tolerance is +/-1 in the 3rd significant digit

(d) At the equivalence point. pH = the tolerance is +/-1 in the 3rd significant digit

Answers

(a)

Before the addition of any acid, we just treat this as a weak base problem, dealing with just the ionization of the weak base ammonia.

The ionization of ammonia is expressed by this reaction:

NH₃(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ OH⁻(aq) + NH₄⁺(aq)

We can set up an ICE table to show the initial concentration of each reactant and product, the change in concentration, and the concentration of all at equilibrium.

⇒NH₃(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ OH⁻(aq) + NH₄⁺(aq)

I 0.1                               0                 0

C -x                              +x                +x

E 0.1 -x                            x                 x

(note that water is a liquid and therefore has no concentration)

We know that [tex]k_b = \frac{[products]}{[reactants]}[/tex] and we know the value of kb given, so

[tex]1.8*10^{-5}=\frac{x^2}{0.1-x}[/tex]

We could just solve for x from here, however that would end up being a quadratic equation which are annoying.

Since ammonia is a weak base, we can assume the amount of ammonia used (x) will be a negligible amount, and drop the -x from 0.1-x.

The statement now becomes

[tex]1.8*10^{-5}=\frac{x^2}{0.1}\\x= 0.00134[/tex]

So, the concentration of OH⁻ = 0.00134 M

We can find the pOH from this, as pOH = -log([OH⁻])

pOH = -log(0.00134) = 2.872

pH = 14-pOH = 11.1

So, pH = 11.13

(b)

Before the equivalence point (when moles of base equal the moles of added acid), we are dealing with a buffer solution and can treat it as such.

The equation we will use is

NH₃(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq) → NH₄⁺(aq) + H₂O

After 20 ml of 0.1 M HCl has been added, 0.002 moles of HCl have been added.

There are two ways to do this, and I will do both.

Here I set up a mole table showing the moles of each reactant and product before and after reaction.

The H⁺ ions are given by the acid, so the moles of H⁺ will equal moles of acid.

⇒                NH₃(aq) + H⁺(aq) → NH₄⁺(aq)

before       0.005      0.002           0      

after           0.003      0                  0.002

H⁺ is the limiting reactant, so H⁺ will be completely used up and the remaining moles of NH₃ will be subtracted by that amount and NH₄⁺ will be produced by that amount.  

From here, you must choose which method to do. Personally I find method 2 easier.

METHOD 1

Returning to this equation:

NH₃(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ OH⁻(aq) + NH₄⁺(aq)

we can plug in the new initial value of NH₄⁺ gotten from the reaction between NH₃(aq) and H⁺(aq). Set up another ICE table with this new initial concentration. NOTE that we have 0.002 moles of NH₄⁺ and 0.005 moles of NH₃ initially, but that is not concentration. We have to put these values over the new volume (0.02 + 0.05 ) to find concentrations.

⇒NH₃(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ OH⁻(aq) + NH₄⁺(aq)

I 0.0429                      0               0.0286

C -x                              +x                +x

E 0.0429 -x                   x                0.0286+x

[tex]k_b = \frac{[products]}{[reactants]}[/tex]

[tex]1.8*10^{-5}=\frac{0.0286x}{0.0429}\\x=2.7*10^{-5}[/tex]again assuming the change in concentration of NH₃ is negligible.

pOH = -log(x) = 4.568

pH = 14 - pOH = 9.43

METHOD 2

With the moles of NH₃ and its conjugate acid, NH₄⁺, we can plug them into the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation since it is a buffer solution before it hits the equivalence point.

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is

[tex]pH = pKa + log\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}[/tex]

for an acid and

[tex]pOH = pKb + log\frac{[BH^+]}{[B]}[/tex]

for a base, where B is the base and BH+ is its conjugate acid. While the equation uses the concentrations of each, we can just use moles.

note that pKb = -log(kb)

Since this is a base, we will use the second equation.

[tex]pOH = -\log(1.8*10^{-5})+\log\frac{0.002}{0.003}\\pOH = 4.568[/tex]

pH = 14 - pOH = 9.43

(c)

After half of the NH₃ is neutralized, that means we are halfway to the equivalence point. At halfway to the eq. point, pOH = pkb and pH = pka

So, pOH =  -log(kb) = 4.74

pH = 14 - pOH = 9.26

(d)

At the equivalence point, moles of base and added acid are the same.

⇒                NH₃(aq) + H⁺(aq) → NH₄⁺(aq)

before       0.005      0.005           0      

after           0              0                  0.005

Only NH₄⁺ remains, so this is just a weak acid ionization problem.

Take the moles of NH₄⁺ and put it over the total volume--

Since we have 0.005 moles of 0.1 M HCl, we have 50 mL of HCl and 50 mL of NH₃, so 100 mL or 0.1 L total.

Another ICE table!

⇒    NH₄⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + NH₃(aq)

I    0.05 M                        0                   0

C   -x                                  +x                   +x

E  0.05-x                             x                   x

Now to find ka.

ka*kb = kw

kw is a constant, [tex]1*10^{-14}[/tex]

So,

[tex]\frac{1*10^{-14}}{1.8*10^{-5}}=k_a\\k_a=5.55*10^{-10}[/tex]

Back to the ice table.

[tex]k_a = \frac{[products]}{[reactants]}\\k_a = \frac{x^2}{0.05}\\[/tex]again, assuming the ionization of NH₄⁺ is negligible

Solving for x, we get x=5.270

x in this case is the concentration of H₃O⁺, so -log(x) = pH

pH = -log(5.270) = 5.28

Hope I could help!

Suppose you react 81 grams of Al (atomic mass 27 g/mol) with 213 grams of Cl2 (M.W. = 71 g/mol), and you obtain 133.5 grams of AICI3, according to the following equation: ___Al + ___ Cl2 -> ___AICI3 Please calculate: 1. The limiting reactant? 2. The theoretical yield? 3. The percent yield? 4. How many grams of the excess reagent are left over, once the reaction is completed?

Answers

1.Cl2, it will be the limiting reactant, 2.The theoretical yield of AlCl3 is 89 grams, 3.The percent yield is 100%,  4.T here will be 63 g of excess Al left over after the reaction is completed.

1. To determine the limiting reactant, we need to calculate the number of moles of each reactant:

81 g Al / 27 g/mol = 3.0 mol Al
213 g Cl2 / 71 g/mol = 3.0 mol Cl2

Since both reactants have the same number of moles, they are in a 1:1 ratio and either one could be the limiting reactant. However, we need to consider their stoichiometry in the balanced equation:

2Al + 3Cl2 -> 2AlCl3

This means that for every 2 moles of Al, we need 3 moles of Cl2 to fully react. Therefore, since we only have 3 moles of Cl2, it will be the limiting reactant.

2. To calculate the theoretical yield, we need to use the mole ratio from the balanced equation and the molar mass of the product:

3 mol Cl2 x (2 mol AlCl3 / 3 mol Cl2) x (133.5 g AlCl3 / 1 mol AlCl3) = 89 g AlCl3

Therefore, the theoretical yield of AlCl3 is 89 grams.

3. To calculate the percent yield, we need to divide the actual yield by the theoretical yield and multiply by 100:

Percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) x 100

In this case, the actual yield is given as 133.5 grams, which is equal to the theoretical yield. Therefore, the percent yield is 100%.

4. Since Cl2 is the limiting reactant, all of it will be used up in the reaction. We can calculate the amount of excess Al by using the mole ratio from the balanced equation:

3 mol Cl2 x (2 mol Al / 3 mol Cl2) x (27 g Al / 1 mol Al) = 18 g Al

Therefore, there will be 81 g Al - 18 g Al = 63 g of excess Al left over after the reaction is completed.

The limiting reactant is Al since we have enough Cl2 to react with all of the Al.

The balanced  equation for the reaction is:

2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3

We can use stoichiometry to determine the limiting reactant, theoretical yield, percent yield, and the mass of the excess reagent left over.

The limiting reactant:

The amount of moles of Al is calculated by dividing its mass by its molar mass:

81 g / 27 g/mol = 3 mol

The amount of moles of Cl2 is calculated by dividing its mass by its molar mass:

213 g / 71 g/mol = 3 mol

According to  balanced equation, 2 moles of Al react with 3 moles  Cl2 to produce 2 moles of AlCl3.

- The volume of the mixture increases.
- The water is cooled by the acid.

Answers

The statement that best explains the change in reaction time as the amount of water increases is that the concentration of the acid decreases. Option 4.

Rate of reaction and concentration

The rate of chemical reactions increases with an increase in the concentration of the reactants, all other things being equal.

When hydrochloric acid is diluted with water, its concentration decreases. A lower concentration of acid means that there are fewer acid particles available to react with the magnesium, so the reaction time increases.

This is consistent with the data table, where the reaction time increases as the amount of water increases.

Therefore, the correct answer is that the concentration of the acid decreases.

The pressure of the ethane gas is approximately 0.081 atm when contained in a 0.500 L flask at 298 K.

Calculate the 3.50 mmol of ethane (c2h6) pressure gas contained in a 0.500 l flask at 298 k?

Calculate the pressure of the ethane gas, we can use the Ideal Gas Law:

PV = nRT

where P is the pressure in atmospheres (atm), V is the volume in liters (L), n is the amount of substance in moles (mol), R is the gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K)), and T is the temperature in Kelvin (K).

First, we need to convert the amount of substance from millimoles (mmol) to moles (mol):

3.50 mmol = 3.50 × 10⁻³ mol

Next, we can plug in the given values and solve for P:

P = nRT/V

P = (3.50 × 10⁻³ mol) × (0.0821 L·atm/(mol·K)) × (298 K) / (0.500 L)

What is in a 0. 15-m solution of al(no3)3 that contains enough of the strong acid hno3 to bring [h3o ] to 0. 10 m?

Answers

The mass of Al[tex](NO3)_3[/tex] present in 1 mL of a 0.15 M solution is 0.03195 g/mL.

[tex]HNO_3[/tex]→ H+ + [tex]NO_3[/tex]-

Since[tex]HNO_3[/tex] is a strong acid, it will completely dissociate in water. We can assume that the concentration of [tex]NO_3[/tex]- in solution is equal to the concentration of [tex]HNO_3[/tex].

Let's start by calculating the concentration of H+ in the solution. We know that the [[tex]H_3O[/tex]+] concentration is 0.10 M, which is the same as the [H+] concentration. Therefore:

[H+] = [[tex]H_3O[/tex]+] = 0.10 M

Since [tex]HNO_3[/tex]completely dissociates in water, the [H+] concentration is also equal to the initial concentration of [tex]HNO_3[/tex]:

[[tex]HNO_3[/tex]] = [H+] = 0.10 M

Now we can use the stoichiometry of the Al[tex](NO3)_3[/tex] dissociation equation to find the concentration of [tex]Al_3[/tex]+:

Al([tex]NO3)_3[/tex] → Al3+ + 3 [tex]NO_3[/tex]-

Since the stoichiometry of the equation is 1:1, the concentration of [tex]Al_3[/tex]+ is also 0.10 M.

Finally, we need to calculate the mass of Al[tex](NO3)_3[/tex] present in the solution. To do this, we need to use the molecular weight of Al[tex](NO3)_3[/tex], which is:

Al[tex](NO3)_3[/tex] = 213.0 g/mol

The molarity of the solution is 0.15 M, which means there are 0.15 moles of Al[tex](NO3)_3[/tex] per liter of solution. Therefore, the mass of Al[tex](NO3)_3[/tex] present in 1 liter of solution is:

0.15 moles/L x 213.0 g/mol = 31.95 g/L

If we assume that the solution has a density of 1 g/mL, then the mass of Al[tex](NO3)_3[/tex] present in 1 mL of solution is:

31.95 g/L ÷ 1000 mL/L = 0.03195 g/mL

Stoichiometry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions. It involves using balanced chemical equations to determine the amount of reactants needed to produce a certain amount of products, or vice versa.

Stoichiometry is based on the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, only rearranged. Therefore, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products.

What is the balancing coefficient for water when the reaction fe2 cr2o72- fe3 cr3 is balanced in standard form under acidic conditions?

Answers

The balancing coefficient for water is 7, which is the number of water molecules that are formed as products in the balanced equation.

The balanced equation for the redox reaction:

[tex]Fe_2^{+}[/tex](aq) + [tex]Cr_2O_{72}^{_}[/tex]-(aq) + [tex]H^{+}[/tex](aq) → [tex]Fe_3^{+}[/tex](aq) + [tex]Cr_3^{+}[/tex](aq) + [tex]H_2O[/tex](l)

We can see that the reaction involves a transfer of electrons from Fe2+ to Cr2O72-. To balance the equation, we need to add the appropriate number of electrons to the left-hand side of the equation to balance the charge. The overall charge on the left-hand side is:

+2 - 2(7) - 1 = -13

The overall charge on the right-hand side is:

+3 + 3 = +6

To balance the charges, we need to add 13 electrons to the left-hand side:

[tex]Fe_2[/tex]+(aq) + [tex]Cr_2O_{72-}[/tex](aq) +[tex]14_H^ {+}[/tex](aq) + 13e- →[tex]Fe_3^{+}[/tex](aq) + 2[tex]Cr_3^{+}[/tex](aq) + 7H2O(l)

Therefore, balancing coefficient for water is 7.These water molecules are formed from the H+ ions on the left-hand side and the O2- ions on the right-hand side, which combine to form H2O. The balancing coefficient for water is always equal to the number of H+ ions on the left-hand side minus the number of H+ ions on the right-hand side. In this case, there are 14 H+ ions on the left-hand side and 7 H+ ions on the right-hand side, so the balancing coefficient for water is 7.

In this reaction, benzonitrile ([tex]C_6H_5CN)[/tex] is reacted  with two molecules of water ([tex]H_2O[/tex]) in the presence of sodium hydroxide(NaOH) to produce benzoic acid ([tex]C_6H_5COOH[/tex]), sodium ion (Na⁺), and ammonia ([tex]NH_3[/tex]). The hydroxide ion (OH⁻) from NaOH acts as a nucleophile, attacking the carbon atom of the nitrile group (-CN) in benzonitrile.

This leads to the formation of an intermediate, which is then hydrolyzed by water to form benzoic acid and ammonia. The sodium ion is a spectator ion and does not participate in the reaction.Overall, this reaction is an example of a nucleophilic substitution reaction, where a nucleophile (OH-) attacks an electrophilic carbon atom in the nitrile group, leading to the formation of a new bond and the subsequent elimination of the nitrile group.

What is the molarity of a NaOH solution if 3. 47 mL is titrated by 11. 1 mL of 0. 0904 M HNO3?

Answers

The molarity of the NaOH solution is 0.0264 M.

To find the molarity of the NaOH solution, we can use the formula:

Molarity of NaOH = Molarity of HNO₃ x Volume of HNO₃ / Volume of NaOH

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Molarity of NaOH = 0.0904 M x 11.1 mL / 3.47 mL

Molarity of NaOH = 0.28944 M/mL

However, we need to convert mL to L to obtain the molarity:

Molarity of NaOH = 0.28944 M/mL x 1 L / 1000 mL

Molarity of NaOH = 0.00028944 M/L

Therefore, the molarity of the NaOH solution is 0.0264 M (0.00028944 x 90), as NaOH is a strong base and reacts with HNO₃ in a 1:1 ratio).

whihc of the following salt has the highest concentration of silver ion when dissolved in water?

AgCl Ksp = 1.6 x 10-10

Ag2CO3 Ksp = 8.1 x 10-12

AgBr Ksp = 5.0 x 10-13

AgI Ksp = 8.3 x 10-17

Answers

The highest concentration of silver ion when dissolved in water is AgI Ksp = 8.3 x 10-17.

The Ksp values of the given salts can be used to determine their solubility products. The solubility product of salt is a measure of the extent to which it dissociates into its constituent ions in water.

The higher the solubility product, the more the salt dissociates into its ions, and therefore the higher the concentration of the ions in the solution. The concentration of the silver ion in a solution of each of the salts can be calculated using the Ksp values as follows:

AgCl ⇌ Ag⁺ ⁺ Cl⁻

Ksp = [Ag⁺][Cl-] = 1.6 x[tex]10^-10[/tex]

[Ag⁺] = √(Ksp/[Cl-])

Ag2CO₃ ⇌ 2Ag⁺⁺ CO₃

[tex]Ksp = [Ag+]^2[CO32-] = 8.1 x 10^-12[/tex]

[Ag⁺] = √(Ksp/[CO32-])

AgBr ⇌ Ag+ + Br-

Ksp = [Ag+][Br-] = 5.0 x [tex]10^-13[/tex]

[Ag⁺] = √(Ksp/[Br-])

AgI ⇌ Ag+ + I⁻

Ksp = [Ag+][I⁻] = [tex]8.3 x 10^-17[/tex]

[Ag⁺] = √(Ksp/[I-])

Using the above equations, we can calculate the concentration of the silver ion in a solution of each salt.

Comparing the concentrations, we find that the salt with the highest concentration of silver ion is AgI, with a Ksp value of 8.3 x [tex]10^-17.[/tex]Therefore, AgI has the highest concentration of silver ions when dissolved in water.

0.001742 mol of naoh was used to neutralize 0.000871 mol of h2a in the sample. if 0.101 g of h2a was initially dissolved in the sample, what is the molar mass of h2a?

Answers

The molar mass of H2A is approximately 116 g/mol.To find the molar mass of H2A, we first need to calculate the number of moles of H2A in the sample.

0.001742 mol NaOH = 0.000871 mol H2A
1 mol NaOH = 1 mol H2A
Therefore, the number of moles of H2A in the sample is 0.000871 mol.
We know that 0.101 g of H2A was initially dissolved in the sample. We can convert this mass to moles using the molar mass of H2A as follows:
0.101 g H2A x (1 mol H2A / molar mass of H2A) = number of moles of H2A
molar mass of H2A = 0.101 g H2A / number of moles of H2A
Substituting the value we calculated for the number of moles of H2A, we get:
molar mass of H2A = 0.101 g H2A / 0.000871 mol H2A
this, we get a molar mass of H2A of approximately 115.8 g/mol.
Therefore, the molar mass of H2A is 115.8 g/mol.
To find the molar mass of H2A, you can use the information given about moles of NaOH and H2A, as well as the mass of H2A.
(0.001742 mol NaOH) / (0.000871 mol H2A) = 2
Molar Mass of H2A = (Mass of H2A) / (Moles of H2A)
Molar Mass of H2A = (0.101 g) / (0.000871 mol)

if the bod of a municipal wastewater at the end of 7 days is 60.0 ml/l and the ultimate bod is 85.0 mg/l, what is the rate constant? assume the temperature is 20c

Answers

The rate constant is approximately -0.585 day^-1 at a temperature of 20°C.

To calculate the rate constant, we can use the following formula:

k = (ln(BOD1/BOD2)) / (t2 - t1)

where BOD1 is the initial BOD (which is assumed to be 0), BOD2 is the final BOD after 7 days (60.0 ml/l), t1 is the time at the start of the test (also assumed to be 0), t2 is the time at the end of the test (7 days), and ln represents the natural logarithm.

First, we need to convert the ultimate BOD from mg/l to ml/l by dividing by the density of water (1 g/ml).

Ultimate BOD = 85.0 mg/l / 1000 mg/g / 1 g/ml = 0.085 ml/l

Now we can plug in the values and solve for k:

k = (ln(0/60.0)) / (7 - 0) = (-4.094) / 7

k = -0.585 day^-1

So the rate constant is approximately -0.585 day^-1 at a temperature of 20°C.

to

0.891 B cm −3

. The enthalpy of fusion is

10.59 kJ mol −1

. Estimate the freezing point of benzene at

1000 atm

.

Answers

The freezing point of benzene at 1000 atm is approximately 315.13 K

We can use the Clausius-Clapeyron equation to estimate the freezing point of benzene at 1000 atm.

ΔT = (ΔH_fus / T_fus) * (V_mol / ΔV_mol) * ln(P_2 / P_1)

where:

ΔT is the change in melting point

ΔH_fus is the enthalpy of fusion

T_fus is the melting point at the initial pressure

V_mol is the molar volume of the liquid phase

ΔV_mol is the difference in molar volume between the solid and liquid phases

P_1 is the initial pressure

P_2 is the final pressure

We can use the given information to calculate the values needed for this equation:

ΔH_fus = 10.59 kJ/mol

T_fus = 5.5 °C = 278.65 K

V_mol = 90.3 cm^3/mol (at 1 atm and 25 °C)

ΔV_mol = V_mol (liquid) - V_mol (solid) = 7.8 cm^3/mol

P_1 = 1 atm

P_2 = 1000 atm

Substituting these values into the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, we get:

ΔT = (10.59 kJ/mol / 278.65 K) * (90.3 cm^3/mol / 7.8 cm^3/mol) * ln(1000 / 1)

ΔT = 36.48 K

To find the freezing point at 1000 atm, we add ΔT to the initial melting point:

T_fus,2 = T_fus,1 + ΔT = 278.65 K + 36.48 K = 315.13 K

Therefore, the freezing point of benzene at 1000 atm is approximately 315.13 K (or 41.98 °C).

consider a reaction that changes the entropy of the universe by 108 j/k. if the temperature is 211 k, what would the free energy change be in j?

Answers

To find the free energy change in joules (J), we can use the equation ΔG = ΔH - TΔS, where ΔH is the change in enthalpy, T is the temperature in Kelvin (K), and ΔS is the change in entropy.

Since we are given that the entropy of the universe changes by 108 J/K, we can use that as our value for ΔS. We are not given any information about the change in enthalpy, so we will assume it is zero (ΔH = 0).
Substituting the values into the equation, we get:
ΔG = 0 - (211 K)(108 J/K)
ΔG = -22,788 J
Therefore, the free energy change in joules would be -22,788 J.

To calculate the free energy change in a reaction with an entropy change of the universe by 108 J/K and a temperature of 211 K, you can use the following formula:
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS
In this case, we need to find the free energy change (ΔG) and are given the entropy change (ΔS) and the temperature (T). Since we are not given the enthalpy change (ΔH), we can assume that it is zero for this calculation.
So, the formula simplifies to:
ΔG = -TΔS
Now, plug in the given values:
ΔG = -(211 K) × (108 J/K)
ΔG = -22788 J
The free energy change for the reaction would be -22,788 J.

The Ksp, or solubility product constant.

The is a value that indicates the extent to which a slightly soluble ionic compound dissociates in solution. We usually do not quote Ksp values for soluble ionic compounds because these compounds have very high Ksp values, indicating that they dissociate almost completely in solution.

Since the solubility of these compounds is so high, quoting their Ksp values is not particularly useful or informative, as they are already understood to be very soluble. Instead, Ksp values are more commonly discussed for sparingly soluble or slightly soluble ionic compounds, where the degree of dissociation can vary significantly and may be of practical importance.

d) tendency to have less mass

Answers

The correct answer is b) tendency to have less energy. This is due to the fact that chemical reactions occur to release or absorb energy in order to achieve a more stable state.

The factor that drives chemical reactions is the tendency of atoms or molecules to reach a more stable state. This can occur through a variety of means, such as exchanging or sharing electrons to form new chemical bonds, or breaking apart existing bonds to form new compounds. The tendency to condense, or come together, can drive reactions such as the formation of crystals or the solidification of liquids. The tendency to have less energy can drive exothermic reactions, where energy is released as heat or light. The tendency to have less mass is not a factor that drives chemical reactions, as the total mass of reactants and products remains the same due to the law of conservation of mass.

iron reacts rapidly with chlorine gas to form a reddish brown, ionic compound (a), which contains iron in the higher of its two common oxidation states. strong heating decomposes compound a to compound b, another ionic compound, which contains iron in the lower of its two oxidation states. when compound a is formed by the reaction of 57.4 g of fe and 65.8 g of cl2 and then heated, how much compound b forms?

Answers

When compound a is formed by the reaction of 57.4 g of fe and 65.8 g of cl2 and then heated, the mass of compound B formed is 119.3 g.

We can start the problem by writing out the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between iron and chlorine gas:

Fe + Cl2 → FeCl2

This equation shows that one mole of iron reacts with one mole of chlorine gas to produce one mole of iron (II) chloride.

To determine the amount of compound B that forms, we need to first determine the limiting reactant in the reaction between iron and chlorine.

We can do this by calculating the number of moles of each reactant and comparing their stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced equation.

The molar mass of Fe is 55.85 g/mol, and the molar mass of Cl2 is 70.90 g/mol. Using these values, we can calculate the number of moles of each reactant:

moles of Fe = 57.4 g / 55.85 g/mol = 1.03 mol

moles of Cl2 = 65.8 g / 70.90 g/mol = 0.926 mol

Since there are fewer moles of chlorine gas than iron, chlorine gas is the limiting reactant. This means that all of the chlorine gas will be consumed in the reaction, and there will be some unreacted iron left over.

Using the balanced equation, we can determine the theoretical yield of compound A:

1 mol FeCl2 / 1 mol Cl2 × 0.926 mol Cl2 = 0.926 mol FeCl2

The molar mass of FeCl2 is 126.75 g/mol, so the mass of FeCl2 produced is:

0.926 mol FeCl2 × 126.75 g/mol = 117.5 g FeCl2

Now, we need to determine the amount of compound B that forms when the FeCl2 is decomposed. Since the problem states that compound B contains iron in the lower of its two oxidation states, we can assume that it is iron (I) chloride, FeCl.

The balanced equation for the decomposition of FeCl2 is:

2 FeCl2 → 2 FeCl + Cl2

This equation shows that two moles of FeCl are produced for every two moles of FeCl2 that decompose. The stoichiometric ratio is 1:1, which means that the amount of FeCl produced is equal to the amount of FeCl2 that decomposes.

The mass of FeCl2 that was produced is 117.5 g, so the amount of FeCl2 that decomposes is also 0.926 mol. This means that 0.926 mol of FeCl is produced.

The molar mass of FeCl is 126.75 g/mol, so the mass of FeCl produced is:

0.926 mol FeCl × 126.75 g/mol = 119.3 g FeCl

Therefore, when 57.4 g of Fe and 65.8 g of Cl2 react to form compound A, which is then heated to form compound B, the mass of compound B formed is 119.3 g.

find the age for a rock for which you determine that 61 % of the original uranium-238 remains, while the other 39 % has decayed into lead.

Answers

To determine the age of a rock, you can use the fact that uranium-238 decays into lead with a known half-life of 4.47 billion years. The percentage of uranium-238 remaining in the rock can be used to calculate how many half-lives have passed since the rock formed.

In this case, since 61% of the original uranium-238 remains, it means that 39% has decayed into lead. Using the half-life of uranium-238, we can calculate that the rock is approximately 1.5 billion years old. This assumes that the rock has remained closed to outside sources of uranium-238 and lead since it formed, and that no lead has migrated into or out of the rock during this time.


Follow these steps:

1. Determine the half-life of uranium-238, which is 4.468 billion years.
2. Calculate the number of half-lives elapsed using the formula: remaining percentage = (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half-lives. In this case, 0.61 = (1/2)^n.
3. Solve for n: n = log(0.61) / log(0.5) ≈ 0.388.
4. Multiply the number of half-lives by the half-life duration: 0.388 * 4.468 billion years ≈ 1.734 billion years.

The age of the rock is approximately 1.734 billion years.
