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

Isn’t urgent the first 3 will be marked BRAINIEST
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Al2(SO4)3 and Mg(OH)2

Explanation:

1. Al has a charge of 3-, and SO4 of 2-

when you cross multiply the charges you get

Al2 and (SO4)3

*the reason theres a bracket around the sulfate ion is that the charge 3 is not for oxygen only, but the entire sulphate ion*

Hence, Al2(SO4)3

2. Mg has a charge of 2- and OH of 1-

again cross multiply

Mg (you dont need to add the 1) and (OH)2

again, the bracket around OH means the charge appiles to Oxygen AND hydrogen

hence, Mg(OH)2

Mrac [35]

Answer:

CuBr₂(aq) + Pb(CH₃COO)₂(aq) → Cu(CH₃COO)₂(aq) + PbBr₂ (s)↓

Explanation:

We identify the reactants:

CuBr₂ and Pb(CH₃COO)₂

The products will be: Cu(CH₃COO)₂ and PbBr₂

You may know these information:

Salts from acetate are soluble.

Bromide can make solid salts with these cations: Ag⁺, Pb²⁺, Hg₂²⁺, Cu⁺

PbBr₂ is formed, so this will be our precipitate

The equation is:

CuBr₂(aq) + Pb(CH₃COO)₂(aq) → Cu(CH₃COO)₂(aq) + PbBr₂ (s)↓

AURORKA [14]

<u>a) Answer: </u>

<em>Number of molecules in 1 mole</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

a) Whether we take any of the substance among all three of the given substances they will have the same number of molecules in 1 mole of the substance is considered and the value for this will be 6.023 x 10^23

<u>b)  Answer: </u>

<em>In the given question </em><em>mass of the substance</em><em> which is </em><em>greatest</em><em> is asked for </em><em>one mole</em><em> and we also know that </em><em>mass of one mole is given by molar mass.  </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

b) It is known that 31.98g/mol is the molar mass for oxygen which is greater than that of hydrogen while fluorine has a molar mass of 38.0 g/mol which on comparison shows that, it is the highest amongst all three.
