6) A 14.5 g sample of sodium chloride reacts with excess fluorine gas according to

Ann [662]

The mass of chlorine gas produced by 14.5 grams of sodium chloride is 10.42 g.

The mass of chlorine gas produced by 14.5 grams of sodium chloride is 8.81 g.

The given parameters;

<em>mass of the sodium chloride, = 14.5 g</em>
<em>2NaCl(s) + F2(g) → 2NaF(s) + Cl2(g)</em>

<em />

In the reaction above, we can deduce the following;

molecular mass of 2Nacl = 2(58.44) = 116.88 g

molecular mass of 2NaF = 2(42) = 84 g

molecular mass of Cl2 = 71 g

The mass of sodium fluoride produced by 14.5 grams of sodium chloride is calculated as follows;

116.88 g of NaCl --------------- 84 g of NaF

14.5 g of NaCl ------------------- ?

$= \frac{84 \times 14.5}{116.88} \\\\= 10.42 \ g$

The mass of chlorine gas produced by 14.5 grams of sodium chloride is calculated as follows;

116.88 g of NaCl --------------- 71 g of Cl2

14.5 g of NaCl ------------------- ?

$= \frac{14.5 \times 71}{116.88} \\\\= 8.81 \ g$

How are carbon-based molecules suited for sustaining life?

IrinaVladis [17]

$\huge\fcolorbox{red}{pink}{Answer ♥}$

Life on Earth is based on carbon, likely because each carbon atom can form bonds with up to four other atoms simultaneously. This quality makes carbon well-suited to form the long chains of molecules that serve as the basis for life as we know it, such as proteins and DNA.

Hope it helps uh ✌️✌️✌️

How many moles are there in 13g of KMnO4?

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

0.08 moles

Explanation:

Relative atomic mass of KMnO4 = K + Mn + O4 = 39 + 55 + 16 x 4 = 158

=> Moles in 13g of KMnO4 = $\frac{Mass}{Relative-atomic-mass}$ = $\frac{13}{158}$ = 0.082278.. = 0.08 moles

Answer:

305 litres of NO gas will be produced from 916 L of NO₂

Explanation:

Given the balanced equation of the chemical reaction as follows:

3 NO₂ (g) + H₂O( l) —— 2 HNO₃ (l) + NO (g)

Under standard conditions, 3 moles of No₂ will react with 1 mole of water to produce 1 mole of NO gas.

Molar volume of a gas at STP is 22.4 L

Number of moles of NO₂ gas present in 916 L = 916/22.4 = 40.893 moles of NO₂ gas

From the mole ratio of NO₂ to NO in the equation of reaction,

Number of moles of NO that will be produced = 1/3 × 40.893 moles = 13.631 moles of NO gas

Volume of 13.631 moles of NO gas = 13.631 × 22.4

Volume of NO gas produced = 305.334L

Therefore, Volume of NO gas produced from the reaction of 916 L of NO₂ with water = 305 L

Calculate the theoretical yield of aspirin obtained when 2.0 g of salicylic acid and 5.0 mL of acetic anhydride (density = 1.08

saw5 [17]

Answer:

The percent yield would be 73%

Explanation:

The balanced reaction for the obtention of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) is the following:

Salicylic acid + acetic anhydride → acetylsalicylic acid + acetic acid

C₇H₆O₃ + C₄H₆O₃ → C₉H₈O₄ + C₂H₄O₂

According to the reaction, 1 mol of salicylic acid reacts with 1 mol of acetic anhydride to give 1 mol of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and 1 mol of acetic acid.

1 mol aspirin (C₉H₈O₄) = (9 x 12 g/mol) + (8 x 1 g/mol) + (4 x 16 g/mol)

= 180 g

1 mol salicylic acid (C₇H₆O₃) = (7 x 12 g/mol) + (6 x 1 g/mol) + (3 x 16 g/mol)

= 138 g

1 mol acetic anhydride (C₄H₆O₃) = (4 x 12 g/mol) + (6 x 1 g/mol) + (3 x 16 g/mol)

= 102 g

The stoichiometric ratio is = 138 g salicylic acid/102 g acetic anhydride= 1.35

We have:

2.0 g salicylic acid

acetic anhydride = 5.0 mL x 1.08 g/mL = 5.4 g

The reactants ratio is = 2.0 g salicylic acid/5.4 g acetic anhydride = 0.37

0.37 < 1.35 , therefore <em>salicylic acid is the limiting reactant</em>.

Now, we use the amount of salicylic acid to calculate the theoretical amount of aspirin. For this, we know that 1 mol of aspirin (180 g) is obtained from 1 mol of salycilic acid (138 g):

theoretical yield= 180 g aspirin/138 g salycilic acid x 2.0 g salycilic acid = 2.61 g aspirin

actual yield = 1.9 g

Finally, we calculate the yield:

percent yield = actual yield/theoretical yield x 100

= 1.9 g/2.6 g x 100 = 72.8% ≅ 73%
