Answer:

4 HCl (aq) + MnO2 (s) → MnCl2 (aq) + Cl2 (g) + 2 H2O (l)

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:

MnIV + 2 e- → MnII (reduction)

2 Cl-I - 2 e- → 2 Cl0 (oxidation)

MnO2 is an oxidizing agent, HCl is a reducing agent.

Reactants:

HCl – Chlorane, Hydrogen chloride

Other names: Hydrochloric acid
Appearance: Colorless, transparent liquid, fumes in air if concentrated; Colorless gas; Colourless compressed liquefied gas with pungent odour; Colorless to slightly yellow gas with a pungent, irritating odor. [Note: Shipped as a liquefied compressed gas.]

MnO2 – Manganese oxide, Manganese(IV) oxide

Other names: Manganese dioxide, Pyrolusite, Hyperoxide of manganese

Appearance: Brown-black solid Black-to-brown powder

Products:

MnCl2 – Manganese(II) chloride, Manganese dichloride

Other names: Manganous chloride, Manganous dichloride Manganese(II) chloride (1:2)

Appearance: Pink solid (tetrahydrate)

Cl2

Names: Chlorine, Molecular chlorine

Appearance: Greenish-yellow compressed liquefied gas with pungent odour ; Greenish-yellow gas with a pungent, irritating odor. [Note: Shipped as a liquefied compressed gas.]

H2O – Water, oxidane

Other names: Water (H2O) Hydrogen hydroxide (HH or HOH) Hydrogen oxide

Appearance: White crystalline solid, almost colorless liquid with a hint of blue, colorless gas

How many hydrogen atoms are in 4.40 mol of ammonium sulfide

katrin2010 [14]

The number of hydrogen atoms that are in 4.40 mol of ammonium sulfide is 2.12 x10^25 atoms

calculation
find the number of moles of Hydrogen in ammonium sulfide (NH4)2S

that is 4.40 x number of hydrogen atoms in (NH4)2S ( 4x2= 8 atoms)

moles is therefore= 4.40 x8= 35.2 moles

by use of Avogadro's law constant

that is 1mole = 6.02 x10^23 atoms
35.2 moles=?

by cross multiplication
{35.2 moles x 6.02 x10^23} /1 mole = 2.12 x10^25 atoms

Morphine is a well known pain killer but is highly addictive. The lethal dose of morphine varies from person to person based on

Aliun [14]

Answer:

0.252 milimoles

Explanation:

To convert mass of a substance to moles it is necessary to use the molar mass of the substance.

The formula of morphine is C₁₇H₁₉NO₃, thus, its molar mass is:

C: 17*12.01g/mol = 204.17g/mol

H: 19*1.01g/mol = 19.19g/mol

N: 1*14g/mol = 14g/mol

O: 3*16g/mol = 48g/mol.

204.17 + 19.19 + 14 + 16 = <em>285.36g/mol</em>

Thus, moles of 71.891 mg = 0.071891g:

0.071891g × (1mol / 285.36g) = 2.5193x10⁻⁴ moles

As 1 mole = 1000 milimoles:

2.5193x10⁻⁴ moles = <em>0.252 milimoles</em>

Plants undergo photosynthesis to produce glucose according to the reaction below. What mass of water is required to produce 5.0g

solniwko [45]

Answer:

option a) 3 g

Explanation:

mass of Glucose = 5 g

Mass of H₂O = ?

Reaction Given:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ----> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Solution:

First we have to find mass of glucose from balanced reaction.

So,

Look at the reaction

6CO₂ + 6H₂O -------> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

6 mol 1 mol

As 6 mole of water (H₂O) give 1 mole of Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆ )

Convert moles to mass

molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 6(12) + 12(1) + 6(16)

molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 72 + 12 + 96

molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆= 180 g/mol

molar mass of H₂O = 2(1) + 16 = 18 g/mol

Now

6CO₂ + 6H₂O ---------> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

6 mol (18 g/mol) 1 mol (180 g/mol)

108 g 180 g

108 g of water (H₂O) produce 180 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)

if 108 g of water (H₂O) produce 180 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) so how many grams of water (H₂O) will be required to produce 5 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆).

Apply Unity Formula

108 g of water (H₂O) ≅ 180 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)

X g of water (H₂O) ≅ 5 g of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)

Do cross multiply

mass of water (H₂O) = 108 g x 5 g / 180 g

mass of water (H₂O) = 3 g

So 3 g of water is required to produce 5 g of glucose.

The table shows a chemical equation and the dimensional analysis used by a student to calculate the number of moles of Ba3N2 req

UNO [17]

This problem is providing the chemical reaction whereby barium nitride reacts with water to produce barium hydroxide and ammonia, so the number of moles of barium nitride are required in order to produce 8.3 moles of ammonia. It asks for us to evaluate the student's setup, so we conclude the answer is C. "1 mol of NH3 should be replaced with 2 mol of NH3", according to:

<h3>Mole ratios:</h3>

In chemistry, stoichiometric calculations are used to figure out the moles or mass of a substance, given information about another one in the reaction. In this case, for the given chemical equation:

$Ba_3N_2 + 6H_2O \rightarrow 3Ba(OH)_2 + 2NH_3$
