Explanation:

When wax is heated then the molecules of wax starts to move due to increase in temperature. As a result, force of attraction between the molecules will decrease and they will start to move from one place to another.

Due to heating, the wax molecules will start moving randomly. Hence, wax will convert into liquid state.

When it was solid, its molecules and atoms stuck in place and could not be moved, which is why it was a solid object. Now that it's a liquid, it's atoms and molecules are free flowing and a constantly move adapting to the environment or the container.

A sample of chlorine gas is at 300K and 1.00 atm. At what temperature and pressure would it behave more like an ideal gas?

Fofino [41]

In lower temperatures, the molecules of real gases tend to slow down enough that the attractive forces between the individual molecules are no longer negligible. In high pressures, the molecules are forced closer together- as opposed to the further distances between molecules at lower pressures. This closer the distance between the gas molecules, the more likely that attractive forces will develop between the molecules. As such, the ideal gas behavior occurs best in high temperatures and low pressures. (Answer to your question: C) This is because the attraction between molecules are assumed to be negligible in ideal gases, no interactions and transfer of energy between the molecules occur, and as temperature decreases and pressure increases, the more the gas will act like an real gas.

Sodium hydroxide reacts with aluminum and water to produce hydrogen gas: 2 Al(s) + 2 NaOH(aq) + 6 H2O(l) → 2 NaAl(OH)4(aq) + 3 H

lianna [129]

Answer:

The mass of hydrogen gas formed is 0.205 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of 1.83 grams of Al

Mass of NaOH = 4.30 grams

Molar mass of Al = 26.98 g/mol

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation:

2 Al(s) + 2 NaOH(aq) + 6 H2O(l) → 2 NaAl(OH)4(aq) + 3 H2(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles of Al

Moles Al = mass Al / Molar mass Al

Moles Al = 1.83 grams / 26.98 g/mol

Moles Al = 0.0678 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of NaOH

Moles NaOH = 4.30 grams / 40 g/mol

Moles NaOH = 0.1075 moles

Step 5: Calculate limiting reactant

For 2 moles of Al, we need 2 moles of NaOH

Aluminium is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.0678 moles)

NaOH is in excess. There will react 0.0678 moles

There will remain 0.1075 - 0.0678 = 0.0397 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles of hydrogen

For 2 moles of Al, we need 2 moles of NaOH, to produce 3 moles of hydrogen

For 0.0678 moles of Al, there is produced 0.0678 *3/2 = 0.1017 moles of H2

Step 7: Calculate mass of H2

Mass of H2 = Moles H2 * Molar mass of H2

Mass of H2 = 0.1017 moles * 2.02 g/mol

Mass of H2 = 0.205 grams

The mass of hydrogen gas formed is 0.205 grams

The two balanced equations (1) and (2) are for reactions in which gaseous carbon dioxide is produced from the combustion of (1)

V125BC [204]

Answer:

2.0 mol of oxygen are consumed.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that you will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses, so gather all the information in one place.

M_r: 28.0 44.0

CO + ½O₂ ⟶ CO₂ + 67.6 kcal

m/g: 112

Step 1. Convert grams of CO to moles of CO

1 mol CO = 28.0 g CO

Moles of CO = 112 × 1/28.0

Step 2. Convert moles of CO to moles of CO₂.

The molar ratio is 1 mol CO₂ to 1 mol CO

Moles of CO₂ = 4.000 × 1/1

Moles of CO₂ = 4.00 mol CO₂

Option A is wrong.

Step 3. Calculate the amount of heat generated.

q = ΔH

The conversion factor is 67.6 kcal/1 mol CO₂

q = 4.00 × 67.6

q = 270 kJ

Option B is wrong, because it gives the heat generated by 1 mol of CO.

Step 4. Calculate the moles of O₂ consumed

Moles of O₂ = 2.00 mol O₂

Option C is correct.

Step 5. Calculate the moles of CO₂ formed

Already done in Step 2.

Moles of CO₂ = 4.00 mol CO₂

Option D is wrong.

Step 6. Calculate the moles of O₂ produced

Already done in Step 4.

Moles of O₂ = 2.00 mol O₂

Option E is wrong.
