Explain why sodium chloride solution cannot be used as the electrolyte to produce

Chemistry

Explanation:

Because the solution only contains Na+ and Cl− ions, and water, and not the metal Na(s) . You cannot evaporate the water from the solution and hope to obtain anything but NaCl(s) .

Na(s) has an electron configuration of 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1 , but Na+(aq) has an electron configuration of 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 . That means they are not the same element, and thus, there is no straightforward way of extracting Na(s) from a NaCl (aq) solution

An atom that has 13 protons and 15 neutrons is isotope of the element A.) nickel B.) silicon C.) aluminum D.) phosphorus. Why?

joja [24]

An atom that has 13 protons and 15 neutrons is isotope of Aluminium (answer C)

Explanation

Isotope is a form of the same element with the equal number of protons but difference number of neutrons in their nuclei.

In other words isotope has the same atomic number but different mass number.

Atomic number of a element is determined by number of protons of an element.

from the periodic table Aluminum in atomic number 13 therefore it has 13 protons therefore an atom that has 13 protons and 15 neutrons is a isotope of Aluminium.

(a) What is the total volume (in L) of gaseous products, measured at 350°C and 735 torr, when an automobile engine burns 100. g

Anarel [89]

Answer:

Part A

The volume of the gaseous product is $V = 787L$

Part B

The volume of the the engine’s gaseous exhaust is $V_e = 2178 \ L$

Explanation:

Part A

From the question we are told that

The temperature is $T = 350^oC = 350 +273 =623K$

The pressure is $P = 735 \ torr = \frac{735}{760} = 0.967\ atm$

The of $C_8 H_{18} = 100.0g$

The chemical equation for this combustion is

$2 C_8 H_{18}_{(l)} + 25O_2_{(l)} ----> 16CO_2_{(g)} + 18 H_2 O_{(g)}$

The number of moles of $C_8 H_{18}$ that reacted is mathematically represented as

$n = \frac{mass \ of \ C_8H_{18} }{Molar \ mass \ of C_8H_{18} }$

The molar mass of $C_8 H_{18}$ is constant value which is

$M = 114.23 \ g/mole$

So $n = \frac{100 }{114.23} }$

$n = 0.8754 \ moles$

The gaseous product in the reaction is $CO_2_{(g)}$ and water vapour

Now from the reaction

2 moles of $C_8 H_{18}$ will react with 25 moles of $O_2$ to give (16 + 18) moles of $CO_2_{(g)}$ and $H_2 O_{(g)}$

1 mole of $C_8 H_{18}$ will react with 12.5 moles of $O_2$ to give 17 moles of $CO_2_{(g)}$ and $H_2 O_{(g)}$

This implies that

0.8754 moles of $C_8 H_{18}$ will react with (12.5 * 0.8754 ) moles of $O_2$ to give (17 * 0.8754) of $CO_2_{(g)}$ and $H_2 O_{(g)}$

So the no of moles of gaseous product is

$N_g = 17 * 0.8754$

$N_g = 14.88 \ moles$

From the ideal gas law

$PV = N_gRT$

making V the subject

$V = \frac{N_gRT}{P}$

Where R is the gas constant with a value $R = 0.08206 \ L\cdot atm /K \cdot mole$

Substituting values

$V = \frac{14.88* 0.08206 *623}{0.967}$

$V = 787L$

Part B

From the reaction the number of moles of oxygen that reacted is

$N_o = 0.8754 * 12.5$

$N_o = 10.94 \ moles$

The volume is

$V_o = \frac{10.94 * 0.08206 *623}{0.967}$

$V_o = 579 \ L$

No this volume is the 21% oxygen that reacted the 79% of air that did not react are the engine gaseous exhaust and this can be mathematically evaluated as

$V_e = V_o * \frac{0.79}{0.21}$

Substituting values

$V_e = 579 * \frac{0.79}{0.21}$

$V_e = 2178 \ L$
