After centrifugation of the sample, the student was not careful and some of the solid was transferred to the Erlenmeyer flask al

ong with the liquid (supernatant). How is this mistake expected to affect the mass of the limiting reactant in the unknown mixture used?

The fact that some of the solid was transferred would decrease the mass of the limiting reactant.

<h3>What is the limiting reactant?</h3>

We know that in a chemical reaction, there are at least two substances that are combined in order to give the product of the reaction. We also know that the product that we obtain must be in accordance to the stoichiometry of the reaction.

It is common to see that one of the reactants would be present in a very large amount while the other reactant would be present only in quite a small amount. The reactant that is present in a small amount is said to be the limiting reactant while the one that is present in the large amount is said to be the reactant that is in excess.

Having said this, we know that the mass of the limiting reactant can be obtained from the mass of the solid that is obtained after the reaction.

If we do not take out all of the solid from the centrifuge, the mass would not be accurately weighed and the mass of the limiting reactant would not be accurately determined.

A gas system contains 2.00 moles of O2 and CO2 gas, has an initial temperature of 25.0 oC and is under 1.00 atm of pressure. If
Ainat [17]

Answer:

V_2=52.2L

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, by bearing to to mind the given conditions, it is firstly possible to determine the initial volume of the closed system via the ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT\\\\V=\frac{2.00mol*0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*298.15K}{1.00 atm} \\\\V=48.9L

Which is V1 in the Charles' law:

\frac{T_2}{V_2} =\frac{T_1}{V_1}

And of course, T1 is 298.15 (25+273.15). Therefore, by solving for V2 as the final volume, we obtain:

V_2=\frac{V_1T_2}{T_1}\\\\V_2=\frac{48.9L*(45+273.15)K}{(25+273.15)K}  \\\\V_2=52.2L

Best regards!

Why is a typical car battery in a car is filled with a solution of sulferic acid
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Sulfuric acid has a higher density than water, which causes the acid formed at the plates during charging to flow downward and collect at the bottom of the battery.
