It is important in gravimetric analysis to add an excess amount of precipitating ions to a solution containing an analyte because it helps to determine the mass of the analyte.

<h3>What is Gravimetric analysis?</h3>

This is a method which is used in the determination of the quantitative determination of the ion being analyzed(analyte) based on its mass.

Adding an excess amount of precipitating ions to a solution containing an analyte will make it easier for the mass of an analyte to be determined.

It is also important for the precipitate to be a pure substance with a definite and known composition which therefore makes it the most appropriate reason.

Calculate the mass of water produced when 42 g of propane, c3h8, is burned with 115 g of oxygen
gavmur [86]
The balanced combustion reaction of propane, C₃H₈, is

C₃H₈ + 5 O₂ → 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O

Molar mass of propane: 44 g/mol
Moles of propane = 42 g * (1 mol/44g) = 0.9545 mol propane

Molar mass of oxygen: 32 g/mol
Moles of oxygen = 115 g * (1 mol/32 g) = 3.594 mol oxygen

Moles of oxygen needed to completely react propane:
0.9545 mol propane * (5 mol O₂/1 mol propane) = 4.7725 mol oxygen

Since the available oxygen is only 3.594 moles and propane needs 4.7725 moles, that means oxygen is our limiting reactant. We base the amount of water produced here.

Molar mass of water: 18 g/mol
Mass of water produced = 3.594 mol O₂ * (4 mol H₂O/5 mol O₂) * (18 g/mol)
Mass of water produced = 258.768 grams

At STP (101.3 kPa, 0 °C), what volume would 2.00 moles of oxygen gas occupy? The gas constant is 8.31
lakkis [162]

Answer:

44.8 L

Explanation:

Ideal Gas Equation -

i.e.,

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = moles

R = universal gas constant

T = temperature

Using the information given in the question, Volume of the gas can be calculated -

P = 101.3 kPa

V = ?

n = 2.00 moles

R = 8.31

T = 0 degree C = 273.15 K

Using the above data, and putting the data in the respective formula -

PV = nRT

101.3 kPa * V = 2.00 moles * 8.31 * 273.15 K

V = 44.8 L

Hence, the volume of the given gas = 44.8 L

What is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change? give examples for both​
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Physical change is a temporary change. A chemical change is a permanent change.

Explanation:

A Physical change affects only physical properties i.e. shape, size, etc. Chemical change both physical and chemical properties of the substance including its composition.
