Answer:

0.329 g

Explanation:

In the context of this problem, we have a chemical reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium hydroxide. HCl is the acid here and calcium hydroxide is the base. Hence, we have an acid-base reaction, also known as neutralization reaction.

In a neutralization reaction, water is produced as a product, as well as a salt that we obtain after we exchange the cations: calcium bonds to chloride and hydrogen bonds to hydroxide (the latter is the formation of water). This means we also produce calcium chloride as a product. The overall reaction represents this as:

Ca(OH)_2(aq)+2 HCl (aq)\rightarrow CaCl_2 (aq)+2 H_2O (l)

Firslt of all, we wish to find the number of moles of HCl present. Having molarity and volume, this is done by applying the molarity formula. It states that molarity is equal to the rate between moles and volume:

c_{HCl}=\frac{n_{HCl}}{V_{HCl}}

Rearranging for moles of HCl, n:

n_{HCl}=c_{HCl}V_{HCl}

Based on stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation, notice that 1 mole of calcium hydroxide reacts with 2 moles of HCl, meaning:

n_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{1}{2} n_{HCl}=\frac{1}{2}c_{HCl}V_{HCl}

Now that we have the expression for moles, we may also express moles of calcium hydroxide as the ratio between its mass and molar mass:

n_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{m_{Ca(OH)_2}}{M_{Ca(OH)_2}}

Using the last two equations, we see that:

\frac{1}{2}c_{HCl}V_{HCl}=\frac{m_{Ca(OH)_2}}{M_{Ca(OH)_2}}\\\therefore m_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{1}{2}c_{HCl}V_{HCl}M_{Ca(OH)_2}

Substitute the given data, as well as the molar mass of calcium hydroxide:

m_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{1}{2}\cdot0.208 M\cdot0.0427 L\cdot74.093 g/mol=0.329 g

Which equation is set up correctly to determine the volume of a 1.5 mole sample of oxygen gas at 22°C and 100 kPa?
LenKa [72]

The volume could be calculated by using  <span>V = n RT / P </span>

In which V = Volume
n = number of Moles
R= The Gas constant
T = Temperature (ideally this would be in Kelvin, but i don't see it in the option)
P = Pressure


I believe the answer is

 <span>V = (1.5mol) (0.08205 L*kPa/K*mol) (22Celsius)/100 kPa

How do you balance redox equations in acidic solutions?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

First, balance the half-reactions

Second, equalize the electrons

Third,add two reaction equations to get final answer

Explanation:

For example

H₂C₂0₄ + MnO⁻₄ ---------->CO₂+Mn²⁺

(i) Balancing the half reactions

H₂C₂O₄-------->2CO₂+2H⁺+2e⁻

5e⁻ +8H⁺+MnO₄⁻----------->Mn²⁺+4H₂O

(ii)

Equalizing the electrons

5H₂C₂O₄--------->10CO₂+10H⁺+10e⁻  ---here there is a factor of 5

10e⁻+16H⁺+2MnO₄⁻--------->2Mn²⁺+8H₂O -----here there is a factor of 2

(iii)

Add the two where electrons and some Hydrogen ions will cancel out

5H₂C₂O₄+6H⁺+2MnO₄⁻---->10CO₂+2Mn²⁺+8H₂O

FIRST ANSWER = BRAINLIEST
STALIN [3.7K]

A_{r} = 24.3

The average atomic mass of X is the <em>weighted average</em> of the atomic masses of its isotopes.  

We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its <em>relative importance</em> (i.e., its % abundance).  

Thus,  

0.790 × 24 u = 18.96 u

0.100 × 25 u =   2.50 u

0.110 × 26 u =    <u>2.86 u</u>  

       TOTAL =  24.3   u

∴ The relative atomic mass of X is 24.3.
