What is the driving force for the reaction of HCl(aq) and NaOH(aq)?

Chemistry

HCl and NaOH react based on the following equation:
HCl + NaOH ..............> NaCl + H2O

This reaction is known as a double replacement reaction. In this types of reactions, the electrolyte (and the solvent) is water and the driving force is mainly the formation of a non-electrolyte produce.

Based on this, the driving force in the above neutralization reaction is the formation if the non-electrolyte salt (NaCl)

When electrolyzing copper (ll) chloride, what reaction takes place at the anode? What reaction takes place at the cathode?
klemol [59]

Answer:

Copper ions are reduced into copper atoms.

Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + 2e⁻ →  Cu₍s₎

Explanation:

During electrolysis,  the positive H⁺ and Cu⁺ ions move to the negative cathode and negative OH⁻ and Cl⁻ ions move to the positive anode.

At cathode, copper ions are preferentially discharged due to the low electromotive force required to discharge them compared to the hydrogen ion. The copper ions gain the two electrons lost by the chloride ions when the are discharged. (2 Cl⁻₍aq₎ → Cl₂₍g₎ + 2e⁻)

Thus the half equation is as follows:

Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + 2e⁻ →  Cu₍s₎

<span>3.68 liters First, determine the number of moles of butane you have. Start with the atomic weights of the involved elements: Atomic weight carbon = 12.0107 Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794 Atomic weight oxygen = 15.999 Molar mass butane = 4*12.0107 + 10*1.00794 = 58.1222 g/mol Moles butane = 2.20 g / 58.1222 g/mol = 0.037851286 Looking at the balanced equation for the reaction which is 2 C4H10(g)+13 O2(g)→8 CO2(g)+10 H2O(l) It indicates that for every 2 moles of butane used, 8 moles of carbon dioxide is produced. Simplified, for each mole of butane, 4 moles of CO2 are produced. So let's calculate how many moles of CO2 we have: 0.037851286 mol * 4 = 0.151405143 mol The ideal gas law is PV = nRT where P = Pressure V = Volume n = number of moles R = Ideal gas constant ( 0.082057338 L*atm/(K*mol) ) T = absolute temperature (23C + 273.15K = 296.15K) So let's solve the formula for V and the calculate using known values: PV = nRT V = nRT/P V = (0.151405143 mol) (0.082057338 L*atm/(K*mol))(296.15K)/(1 atm) V = (3.679338871 L*atm)/(1 atm) V = 3.679338871 L So the volume of CO2 produced will occupy 3.68 liters.</span>

The atomic weight of iodine is less than the atomic weight of tellurium. However, Mendeleev listed iodine after tellurium in his
QveST [7]

Explanation :

As we know that Mendeleev arranged the elements in horizontal rows and vertical columns of a table in order of their increasing relative atomic weights.

He placed the elements with similar nature in the same group.

According to the question, the atomic weight of iodine is less than the atomic weight of tellurium. So according to this, iodine should be placed before tellurium in Mendeleev's tables. But Mendeleev placed iodine after tellurium in his original periodic table.

However, iodine has similar chemical properties to chlorine and bromine. So, in order to make iodine queue up with chlorine and bromine in his periodic table, Mendeleev exchanged the positions of iodine and tellurium.

As we know that the positions of iodine and tellurium were reversed in Mendeleev's table because iodine has one naturally occurring isotope that is iodine-127  and tellurium isotopes are tellurium-128 and tellurium-130.

Due to high relative abundance of tellurium isotopes gives tellurium the greater relative atomic mass.
