Answer:

Yes is my final answer

Explanation:

1. Scrap iron is used to displace copper because it is a more reactive, cheaper metal, making it a cost-effective way to produce copper. Scrap or old iron is also easier to obtain, as it is one of the world’s most recycled scrap metals. During a displacement reaction, iron reacts with a copper sulphate solution. This causes the iron ion to displace the copper to form iron sulphate, with solid copper being produced as a result.

A 10.0 g sample of an unknown liquid is vaporized at 120.0°C and 5.0 atm. The volume of the vapour is found to be 568.0 mL. The

Answer:

molecular formula of liquid = C₈H₁₈

Explanation:

First we determine the empirical formula of the liquid:

Number of moles of each element present in the liquid = % mass / molar mass

For Carbon, (molar mass = 12.01 g/mol) : 84.2/12.01 =7.011 moles

For Hydrogen (molar mass = 1.01 g/mol) : 15.8/1.01 = 15.643

Simplest mole ratio of the elements, C : H is given by:

C = 7.011/7.011 = 1.0

H = 15.643/7.011 = 2.23

Multiplying through with 5, C:H = 5:11

Therefore, empirical formula is C₅H₁₁

The molecular mass of the liquid is next determined:

Using PV = nRT to find the number of moles of the liquid present

P = 5.0 atm; V = 568.0 mL = 0.568 L; R = 0.082 L*atmmol⁻¹ K⁻¹; T = 273 + 120 = 393 K

n = PV/RT = (5*0.568)/0.082*393

n = 0.088 moles

Molar mass of liquid = mass/no of moles = 10.0 g/ 0.088 moles = 113.63 gmol⁻¹

Molecular formula = n(empirical formula)

Molar mass of empirical formula, C₅H₁₁ = 71 gmol⁻¹

n = molecular mass/empirical mass = 113.63/71 = 1.6

Therefore, molecular formula = 1.6*(C₅H₁₁) = C₈H₁₈

Use the solubility rules to determine if:

xenn [34]

<u>Answer:</u>

A reaction is said to occur if there is a formation of an insoluble solid or a precipitate(s) or a liquid (l) or a gas(g).

If both the reactants and products are in aqueous state, No reaction takes place.

$2 \mathrm{NaCl}(a q)+M g B r_{2}(a q)>M g C l_{2}(a q)+2 \mathrm{NaBr}(a q)(\mathrm{NO} \text { REACTION })$

All chlorides and Bromides are soluble except that of Ag, Hg and Pb.

Hence, No reaction takes place since all the reactants and products are in aqueous states.

${KOH}(a q)+{NaCl}(a q)>K C l(a q)+{NaOH}(a q)(\mathrm{NO} \text { REACTION })$

Salts of Group IA are soluble. Hence No reaction takes place

$M g S(a q)+2 {NaOH}(a q)>M g(O H)_{2}(s)+N a_{2} S(a q)$

(REACTION TAKES PLACE)

All hydroxides are insoluble except that of Group IA, ammonium ion and Group IIA down from Calcium.

Hence Reaction takes place with the formation of $Mg(OH)_2$ precipitate
