The sign of the entropy change, ΔS, for the following processes include:

I2 (s) + ½ Cl2 (g) ← → ICl (g) - positive

3 Ag (s) + 4 HNO3 (aq) → 3AgNO3 (aq) + NO (g) + 2 H2O (l) - positive

Cl2 (g) → Cl2 (l) - negative

C5H12 (g) + 8 O2 (g) → 5 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (l) - negative

What is Entropy?

This is referred to the degree of randomness or disorderliness of a system and is denoted as S.

Entropy change is usually positive when solid or liquid reactant is converted into gas product and vice versa.

A certain compound is made up of one phosphorus (P) atom, three chlorine (Cl) atoms, and one oxygen (O) atom. What is the chemic

yulyashka [42]

Answer: PCl₃O

Explanation:

1) The chemical formula tells the composition of a compound in terms of the ratio of number of atoms of each element that consitutes such compound.

2) You use the chemical symbol for each kind of atom (element) and subscripts to the right of each symbol to tell the number of atoms of each element.

3) For example, O₂ means two atoms of oxygen. Al₂O₃ means two atoms of aluminum and 3 atoms of oxygen.

4) Therefore, PCl₃O means a ratio 1 : 3 : 1 for phosphorus, chlorine, and oxygen.

Hence, PCl₃O is the chemical formula of your compound.

How many milliners of hydrogen gas ar produced by the reaction 0.020 moles of magnesium with excess of hydrochloride acid at sto

jeyben [28]

Answer:- 448 mL of hydrogen gas are formed.

Solution:- It asks to calculate the volume of hydrogen gas formed in milliliters at STP when 0.020 moles of magnesium reacts with excess HCl acid. The balanced equation is:

$Mg+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_2+H_2(g)$

There is 1:1 mol ratio between Mg and hydrogen gas. So, the moles of hydrogen gas is also equals to the moles of Mg reacted.

moles of Hydrogen gas formed = 0.020 mol

At STP, volume of 1 mol of the gas is 22.4 L. We need to calculate the volume of 0.02 moles of hydrogen gas.

$0.02mol(\frac{22.4L}{1mol})$

= 0.448 L

They want answer in mL. So, let's convert L to mL using the conversion formula, 1L = 1000mL

$0.448L(\frac{1000mL}{1L})$

= 448 mL

So, 0.020 moles of magnesium would produce 448 mL of hydrogen gas at STP on reacting with excess of HCl acid.

The chemist discovers a more efficient catalyst that can produce ethyl butyrate with a 78.0% yield. How many grams would be prod

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

The grams that would be produced from 7.70 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol is 7.923grams

calculation

Step 1: write the chemical equation for the reaction

CH3CH2CH2COOH + CH3CH2OH → CH3CH2CH2COOCH2CH3 +H2O

step 2: find the moles of butanoic acid

moles= mass/ molar mass

= 7.70 g/ 88 g/mol=0.0875 moles

Step 3: use the mole ratio to determine the moles of ethyl butyrate

moles ratio of CH3CH2CH2COOH :CH3CH2CH2COOCH2CH3 is 1:1 therefore the moles of CH3CH2CH2COOCH2CH3 = 0.0875 x78/100=0.0683moles

step 4: find mass = moles x molar mass

= 0.0683 moles x116 g/mol=7.923grams
