The reaction between a dilute hydrochloric acid and reactive metal produces hydrogen gas.

Hydrochloric acid, HCl, has a variety of commercial, and industrial processes, including its role in the production of building and construction materials. It is also known as muriatic acid and is used as a common household cleaner.

Through a displacement reaction, metals that are more reactive than hydrogen will displace the hydrogen to form chloride salts along with hydrogen gas. Some of the common chloride salts include sodium chloride, also known as table salt, and calcium chloride. A sample chemical reaction for the formation of calcium chloride salt is shown below.

Metal + Acid → Salt + Hydrogen Gas

Ca + 2HCl → CaCl2 +H2

What is the volume of a piece of aluminum if the mass is 150g and the density.is 2.70 g/cm3

zepelin [54]

Answer:

The answer is

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

$volume = \frac{mass}{density} \\$

From the question

mass of aluminum = 150 g

density = 2.7 g/cm³

The volume is

$volume = \frac{150}{2.7} \\ = 55.5555555...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

if you are using 657.0 grams of oxygen gas to react with calcium how many gram of calcium oxide will u product

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The amount in grams of CaO that will be produced is 2,302.67824 grams

Explanation:

The reaction between calcium and oxygen to produce calcium oxide (quicklime) can be presented as follows;

2Ca (s) + O₂ (g) → 2CaO (s)

From the above chemical equation, we have;

2 moles of calcium, Ca, react with 1 mole of oxygen gas, O₂, to produce 2 moles of CaO

With the assumption that there is an excess amount of Ca, we have;

The molar mass of O₂ = 32 g/mol

The number of moles, 'n', of O₂ in 657.0 grams of oxygen is therefore;

The number of moles of a substance = Mass of substance/(Molar mass of substance)

∴ n = 657.0 g/(32 g/mol) = 20.53125 moles

The number of moles of O₂ in the 657.0 grams of oxygen present in the reaction, n = 20.53125 moles

1 mole of O₂ produces 2 moles of CaO, therefore, 20.53125 moles of oxygen will produce 2 × 20.53125 or 41.0625 moles of CaO

The molar mass of CaO = 56.0774 g/mol

Therefore, the mass of 41.0625 moles of CaO is given as follows;

Mass of substance = (The number of moles of a substance) × (Molar mass of substance)

The mass of CaO produced = 41.0625 moles × 56.0774 g/mol = 2,302.67824 g.

How are ionic compounds named?

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Ionic compounds are neutral compounds made up of positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions. For binary ionic compounds (ionic compounds that contain only two types of elements), the compounds are named by writing the name of the cation first followed by the name of the anion.

copper sulphate solution turns the colour of litmus into red but litmus changes into blue with baking soda solution although bot

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Copper sulphate is an acidic salt: It is the product of the reaction between a weak copper base and a strong acid , H2SO4

Litmus has a red colour in acidic solutions:

Conclusion: Acidic copper sulphate solution turns blue litmus to red

Baking soda is a basic salt : It is the reaction product of a weak acid , CO2 and a strong base , NaOH

Litmus has a blue colour in basic solutions:

Conclusion: basic baking soda solution turns red litmus to blue

What is the nuclear binding energy of an atom that has a mass defect of 5.0446

notsponge [240]

Answer:

Option C: 4.54 x $10^{11}$ KJ/mol of nuclei

Note: Here in this question option C is not correctly put. It is 4.54 x $10^{11}$ rather than 4.54 x $10^{-123}$ .

Explanation:

If mass defect is known, then nuclear binding energy can easily be calculated, here's how:

First step is to convert that mass defect into kg.

Mass defect = 5.0446 amu

Mass defect = 5.0466 x 1.6606 x $10^{-27}$

Because 1 amu = 1.6606 x $10^{-27}$ Kg.

Mass defect = 8.383 x $10^{-27}$ kg.

Now, we need to find out it's energy equivalent by using following equation:

Using the equation E = mc²:

where c= 3.00 x $10^{8}$ m/s²

E = (8.383 x $10^{-27}$ ) x (3.00 x $10^{8}$ )²

E = 7.54 x $10^{-10}$ J this energy is in Joules but nuclear binding energy is usually expressed in KJ/mol of nuclei. Let's convert it:

(7.54 x $10^{-10}$ Joule/nucleus)x(1 kJ/1000 Joule)x(6.022 x $10^{23}$ nuclei/mol) =

4.54 x $10^{11}$ kJ/mol of nuclei .

E = 4.54 x $10^{11}$ kJ/mol of nuclei . So, this is the nuclear binding energy of that atom, which is option C.

Note: Here in this question option C is not correctly put. It is 4.54 x $10^{11}$ rather than 4.54 x $10^{-123}$
