Answer:

250mL

Explanation:

The first step in this kind of question is to balance the chemical equation:

Na₂CO₃ + 2HCl → CO₂ + H₂O + 2NaCl

The question asks to figure out how many mL of the reactant Na₂CO₃ are required to produce 11.2 L of CO₂ . To solve this we will use the molar ratio between these two chemical species, that is <em>how many moles of Na₂CO₃ are required to produce one mol of CO₂.</em> We answer this by looking at the equation: the molar ratio is 1 to 1.

So first we need to convert the 11.2 L at STP of CO₂ to moles. CO₂ is a gas and STP means standard temperature and pressure (0°C and 1 atm). The volume of one mol of gas at STP is 22.4 L. So we can convert the 11.2 L to moles using this value:

\frac{11.2 L}{22.4 L/mol} = 0.5 mol CO_{2}

Now that we know how many moles of CO₂ are produced, we can calculate the moles of  Na₂CO₃ required using the molar ratio 1:1. To produce one mol of CO₂ we need one mol of Na₂CO₃, hence to produce 0.5 moles of CO₂ we need 0.5 moles of Na₂CO₃.

Now, the question asks how many mL of a 2M solution of Na₂CO₃ are required. M stands for molarity which is a concentration unit meaning moles per liter, hence, <em>2M means 2 moles per liter of solution</em> (which means in 1000mL of solution there are 2 moles of Na₂CO₃ because 1L=1000mL). So knowing this we must calculate in how many mL of the solution there are 0.5 moles of Na₂CO₃:

0.5 mol Na₂CO₃ × \frac{1000 mL}{2 mol} = 250 mL

250 mL of a 2M solution of Na₂CO₃ are required to produce 11.2 L of CO₂ at STP

a solid with a low melting point is most likely what? A.ionic B. covalent C. metallic or D. None of the above.
ziro4ka [17]
The correct answer of the given question above would be option D. None of the above. When a solid has a low melting point, it is most likely a simple molecular substance. When it is ionic, covalent or metallic, it is already considered as a solid with a high melting point.

Researchers used a combustion method to analyze a compound used as an antiknock additive in gasoline. A 9.394 mg sample of the c
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The percent composition of the compound is 90.5 % C and 9.5 % H

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of compound = 9.394 mg

Mass  of CO2 yielded = 31.154 mg

Mass of H2O yielded = 7.977 mg

Molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Molar mass of H2O = 18.02 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles CO2

moles of CO2 = (0.031154 g / 44.01 g/mol) = 7.08 * 10^-4 mol CO2

Step 3: Calculate moles C

moles of C = moles of CO2 * (1 mol C / 1 mol CO2)

moles of C = 7.08 * 10^-4 mol

Step 4: Calculate moles H2O

moles of H2O = (0.007977 g / 18.02 g/mol) = 4.43 * 10^-4 mol H2O

Step 5: Calculate moles of H

moles of H = moles of H2O * (2 mol H / 1 mol H2O)

moles of H =  4.43* 10^-4 *2 = 8.86 * 10^-4 mol H

Step 6: Calculate mass of C

mass C = moles C * molar mass C

mass C = 7.08 * 10^-4 mol*12.01 g/mol

mass C = 0.0085 grams

Step 7: Calculate mass of H

mass H = moles H * molar mass H

mass H = 8.86 * 10^-4 mol*1.01 g/mol

mass H = 0.000894 grams

Step 8: Calculate total mass of compound =

0.0085 grams + 0.000894 grams = 0.009394 grams = 9.394 mg

Step 9: Calculate the percent composition:  

% C = (8.50 mg / 9.394 mg) x 100 = 90.5%  

% H = (0.894 mg / 9.394 mg) x 100 = 9.5%

The percent composition of the compound is 90.5 % C and 9.5 % H
