konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Hydrogen sulfide is used primarily to produce sulfuric acid and sulfur. It is also used to create a variety of inorganic sulfides used to create pesticides, leather, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. Hydrogen sulfide is used to produce heavy water for nuclear power plants (like CANDU reactors specifically).

What is the theoretical yield of vanadium, in moles, that can be produced by the reaction of 1.0 mole of V2O5 with 4.0 mole of c
yuradex [85]

Answer:

Theoretical moles of V are 1.6 moles

Explanation:

The theoretical yield of a reaction is defined as the amount of product you would make if all of the limiting reactant was converted into product.

In the reaction:

V2O5(s) + 5Ca(i) → 2V(i) + 5CaO(s)

Based on the reaction, 1 mol of V2O5 needs 5 moles of Ca for a complete reaction. As there are just 4 moles, <em>limiting reactant is Ca.</em> As there are produced 2 moles of V per 5mol of Ca, Theoretical moles of V are:

4 moles of Ca × (2mol V / 5Ca) = <em>1.6 moles of V</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

What is one chemical reaction that begins with petroleum as a starting material
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Thermal decomposition or cracking

Explanation:

Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons which are usually formed naturally. Petroleum undergo a host of chemical reactions. One of such is thermal decomposition or cracking.

Cracking is used in the petroleum industry to covert heavy fractions to more useful lighter ones.

When petroleum is subjected to high temperature and pressure, and in the presence of catalyst, the long chain type of petroleum will decompose into more useful smaller and lighter molecules.

Example is given below:

                  C₁₅H₃₂ → C₈H₁₈ + C₃H₆ + 2C₂H₄

Which hybrid orbitals overlap to form the sigma bonds between the indicated atoms in xanthine?
arsen [322]

The highlighted atoms have sp2 - sp3 hybridization. The highlighted atoms are carbon and nitrogen as shown.

The structure of Xanthine is shown in the image attached to this answer. The indicated atoms are Carbon and nitrogen as shown. Let us remember that hybridization has to do with the mixing of atomic orbitals to form appropriate hybrid orbitals that are suitable for overlap with orbitals of other atoms.

The highlighted carbon atom is sp2 hybridized because it has a carbon nitrogen double bond while the highlighted nitrogen atom is sp3 hybridized. Therefore, the highlighted atoms have sp2 - sp3 hybridization.

A 100.0 mL sample of 0.300 M NaOH is mixed with a 100.0 mL sample of 0.300 M HNO3 in a coffee cup calorimeter. If both solutions
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Qm  = -55.8Kj/mole

Explanation:

NaOH(aq) + HNO₃(aq) => NaNO₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

Qm = (mc∆T)water /moles acid

Given => 100ml(0.300M) NaOH(aq) + 100ml(0.300M)HNO₃(aq)

=> 0.03mole NaOH(aq) + 0.03mole HNO₃(aq)

=> 0.03mole NaNO₃(aq) + 0.03mole H₂O(l)

ΔH⁰rxn = [(200ml)(1.00cal/g∙°C)(37 – 35)°C]water / 0.03mole HNO₃

= 13,333 cal/mole x 4.184J/cal = 55,787J/mol = 55.8Kj/mole (exothermic)*

Heat of reactions comes from formation of H-Oxy bonds on formation of water of reaction and heats the 200ml of solvent water from 35⁰C to 37⁰C.
