Flat as more oxygen and water can react over it think of it like this would a cube rust faster than a sheet

Sample Response: The flat sheet will completely rust before the iron cube. Since they both have the same volume, the flat sheet has more surface area than the small cube. This means more particles are exposed on the flat sheet that can react in a chemical reaction

c3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O When 44.0 grams of propane (C3H8) under goes complete combustion, how many grams of water will be produ

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: 72 grams of water will be produced.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the formula:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ....(1)

Mass of propane = 44 grams

Molar mass of propane = 44 grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{moles of propane}=\frac{44g}{44g/mol}=1mole$

For the reaction of combustion reaction of propane, the equation follows:

$C_3H_8+5O_2\rightarrow 3CO_2+4H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction,

1 mole of propane produces 4 moles of water.

So, 1 mole of propane will produce = $\frac{1}{1}\times 4=4moles$ of water.

Now, to calculate the amount of water, we use equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

$4mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}$

Mass of water produced = 72 grams

Hence, 72 grams of water will be produced.

A 1.00 g sample of a metal X (that is known to form X ions in solution) was added to 127.9 mL of 0.5000 M sulfuric acid. After a

Semenov [28]

Answer: The metal having molar mass equal to 26.95 g/mol is Aluminium

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$ .....(1)

Molarity of NaOH solution = 0.5000 M

Volume of solution = 0.03340 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.5000M=\frac{\text{Moles of NaOH}}{0.03340L}\\\\\text{Moles of NaOH}=(0.5000mol/L\times 0.03340L)=0.01670mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of NaOH and sulfuric acid follows:

$2NaOH+H_2SO_4\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of sulfuric acid

So, 0.01670 moles of NaOH will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.01670=0.00835mol$ of sulfuric acid

Excess moles of sulfuric acid = 0.00835 moles

Calculating the moles of sulfuric acid by using equation 1, we get:

Molarity of sulfuric acid solution = 0.5000 M

Volume of solution = 127.9 mL = 0.1279 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.5000M=\frac{\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4}{0.1279L}\\\\\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4=(0.5000mol/L\times 0.1279L)=0.06395mol$

Number of moles of sulfuric acid reacted = 0.06395 - 0.00835 = 0.0556 moles

The chemical equation for the reaction of metal (forming $M^{3+}$ ion) and sulfuric acid follows:

$2X+3H_2SO_4\rightarrow X_2(SO_4)_3+3H_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of sulfuric acid reacts with 2 moles of metal

So, 0.0556 moles of sulfuric acid will react with = $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.0556=0.0371mol$ of metal

To calculate the molar mass of metal for given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Mass of metal = 1.00 g

Moles of metal = 0.0371 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0371mol=\frac{1.00g}{\text{Molar mass of metal}}\\\\\text{Molar mass of metal}=\frac{1.00g}{0.0371mol}=26.95g/mol$

Hence, the metal having molar mass equal to 26.95 g/mol is Aluminium

How many sigma bonds does NBr3 have?

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

It has 3 sigma bonds

Explanation:

A sigma bond is a covalent interaction between two atoms, these bonds are the strongest type of covalent bonds and they are formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals.

The nitrogen is bond to the bromine atoms through sigma bonds, which means that exist 3 sigma bonds in the molecule.

this molecule has a trigonal pyramid geometry due to the free pair of nitrogen electrons.

Write a ground state electron configuration for each neutral atom

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Pb[lead] [Xe]4f^145d^106s^26p^2

U[uranium] 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^6 5s^2 4d^10 5p^6 6s^2 4e^14 5d^10 6p^6

7s^2 5f^4

This notation can be written in core notation or noble gas notation by replacing the

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^2 3d^10 4p^6 5s^2 4d^10 5p^6 6s^2 4e^14 5d^10 6p^6

7s^2 5f^4

with the noble gas [Rn].

[Rn]7s25f4

N[nitrogen] The full electron configuration for nitrogen is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^3.

Ti[titanium] Ti2+:[Ar]3d^2

Ti:1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^2 4s^2

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^5 = 17 electrons

(1) electron gain will result to a

negative charge (−), and

(2) electron loss will result to a positive charge (+),

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 = 18 electrons

Hg[mercury] You should then find its atomic number is 80. It has a Xe core, so in shorthand notation, you can include [Xe]instead of

1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 3d^10 4s^2 4p^6 4d^10 5s^2 5p^6,

for 54 electrons. For the 6th row of the periodic table, we introduce the 4f orbitals, and proceed to atoms having occupied 5d orbitals. We, as usual, have the ns orbitals, and n=? for the 6th period?

Mercury has a regular electron configuration. It becomes:
