What do scientists use to increase the surface area of a solute?

Chemistry

Tomtit [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Scientist increases the surface area of a solute by grinding the solute with a motor and pestle.  

Explanation:

Grinding of a solid solute exposes the reactant molecules to new surfaces. When the surface area increases it allows greater frequency of collision between the reactant particles. The reactant particles can now collide in proper orientation. The increase in surface area thus speeds up the rate of the reaction.

If 38.5 grams of potassium react with excess oxygen gas, how many grams of potassium oxide can be produced? 4K + O2 yields 2K2O
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

46.40 g.

Explanation:

  • It is a stichiometric problem.
  • The balanced equation of the reaction: 4K + O₂ → 2K₂O.
  • It is clear that 4.0 moles of K reacts with 1.0 mole of oxygen produces 2.0 moles of K₂O.
  • We should convert the mass of K (38.5 g) into moles using the relation:

<em>n = mass / molar mass,</em>

n = (38.5 g) / (39.098 g/mol) = 0.985 mole.

<em>Using cross multiplication:</em>

4.0 moles of K produces → 2.0 moles of K₂O, from the stichiometry.

0.985 mole of K produces → ??? moles of K₂O.

∴ The number of moles of K₂O produced = (0.985 mole) (2.0 mole) / (4.0 mole) = 0.4925 mole ≅ 0.5 mole.

  • Now, we can get the mass of K₂O:

∴ mass = n x molar mass = (0.5 mole) (94.2 g/mol) = 46.40 g.

Ammonia can be produced in the laboratory by heating ammonium chloride
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Mass = 2.89 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of NH₄Cl = 8.939 g

Mass of Ca(OH)₂ = 7.48 g

Mass of ammonia produced = ?

Solution:

2NH₄Cl   +  Ca(OH)₂     →    CaCl₂ + 2NH₃ + 2H₂O

Number of moles of NH₄Cl:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 8.939 g / 53.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.17 mol

Number of moles of Ca(OH)₂ :

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 7.48 g / 74.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.10 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia with both reactant.

                      NH₄Cl          :          NH₃

                          2              :           2

                         0.17          :          0.17

                   Ca(OH)₂         :          NH₃

                        1                :           2

                    0.10              :          2/1×0.10 = 0.2 mol

Less number of moles of ammonia are produced by ammonium chloride it will act as limiting reactant.

Mass of ammonia:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.17 mol × 17 g/mol

Mass = 2.89 g

5.1169 mol of Ne is held at 0.9148 atm and 911 K. What is the volume of its container in liters?
sveticcg [70]

By applying the Boyle's equation and substituting our given data the volume of the container was found to be 418.14 Litres

<h3>Boyle's  Law</h3>

Given Data

  • number of moles of Ne = 5.1169 mol
  • Pressure = 0.9148 atm
  • Temperature = 911 K

We know that the relationship between pressure and temperature is given as

PV = nRT

R = 0.08206

Making the volume subject of formula we have

V= nRT/P

Substituting our given data to find the volume we have

V = 5.1169*0.08206*911/0.9148

V = 382.522353554/0.9148

V = 418.14 L

Which step will decrease the pressure of a gas inside a closed cubical container
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
In order to <span>decrease the pressure of a gas inside a closed cubical container, you need to decrease the temperature of the container. The volume of the system is rigid so it means volume is constant. By the ideal gas law, temperature and pressure are directly related. Increasing the temperature, increases the pressure and the opposite to happens.</span>
