The balanced chemical equation is :

5P₄ + 36OH → 12HPO₃⁻² (aq) + 8PH₃ (acidic)

Here the oxidation number of P changed from 0 to -3 in PH₃ and increases from 0 to +3 in HPO₃⁻². When P₄ changes to PH₃ reduction reaction is taking place as there is addition of hydrogen and when P₄ changes to HPO₃⁻² oxidation takes place as there is addition of oxygen.

Thus clearly both reduction and oxidation are taking place.

Thus, we can infer that here P₄ is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are no longer used as refrigerants because they destroy the ozone layer. Trichlorofluoromethane (CCl₃

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The molar entropy of the evaporation of Trichlorofluoromethan is 83.516 J/molK.

Explanation:

Entropy :It is defined as amount of energy which is unable to do work or the measurement of randomness or disorderedness in a system.

$S=\frac{Q}{T(Kelvins)}$

Molar heat of molar vaporization of Trichlorofluoromethane = 24.8 kJ/mol

Temperature at which Trichlorofluoromethan boils , T= 296.95 K

The molar entropy of the evaporation of Trichlorofluoromethan :

$=\frac{24.8 kJ/mol}{296.95 K}=0.083516 kJ/mol K = 83.516 J/molK$

The molar entropy of the evaporation of Trichlorofluoromethan is 83.516 J/molK.

Question 21

Mumz [18]

There are 2 moles of O stones present in 88 grams of CO2. Why? Well, we can find the amount of moles present in 88 grams of CO2 by dividing the mass by the molar mass. The mass of CO2 comes out to be 88 grams. The molar mass of CO2 comes out to be 44 grams. Because 88 is the mass of CO2 and 44 is the molar mass of CO2, we can divide 88 by 44 to identify that there are 2.0 moles of O atoms present in 88 grams of CO2.

Your final answer: There are 2.0 moles of O atoms present in 88 grams of CO2. Your final answer to this question is D, or 2.0 moles. If you need to better understand, let me know and I will gladly assist you.

Which reactant will be used up first if 78.1g of o2 is reacted with 62.4g of c4h10?

dlinn [17]

Answer:

Reagent O₂ will be consumed first.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction between O₂ and C₄H₁₀ is:

2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ → 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following amounts of reactants and products participate in the reaction:

C₄H₁₀: 2 moles
O₂: 13 moles
CO₂: 8 moles
H₂O: 10 moles

Being:

C: 12 g/mole
H: 1 g/mole
O: 16 g/mole

The molar mass of the compounds that participate in the reaction is:

C₄H₁₀: 4*12 g/mole + 10*1 g/mole= 58 g/mole
O₂: 2*16 g/mole= 32 g/mole
CO₂: 12 g/mole + 2*16 g/mole= 44 g/mole
H₂O: 2*1 g/mole + 16 g/mole= 18 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of reactants and products participate in the reaction:

C₄H₁₀: 2 moles* 58 g/mole= 116 g
O₂: 13 moles* 32 g/mole= 416 g
CO₂: 8 moles* 44 g/mole= 352 g
H₂O: 10 moles* 18 g/mole= 180 g

If 78.1 g of O₂ react, it is possible to apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 416 g of O₂ react with 116 g of C₄H₁₀, 62.4 g of C₄H₁₀ with how much mass of O₂ do they react?

$mass of O_{2} =\frac{416grams of O_{2}*62.4 grams ofC_{4}H_{10} }{116 grams of C_{4}H_{10}}$

mass of O₂= 223.78 grams

But 21.78 grams of O₂ are not available, 78.1 grams are available. Since you have less mass than you need to react with 62.4 g of C₄H₁₀, reagent O₂ will be consumed first.
