Answer:

Na + H₂O → NaOH + 1/2 H₂

Explanation:

When sodium reacts with water, it forms sodium hydroxide and molecular hydrogen. The unbalanced equation is:

Na + H₂O → NaOH + H₂

We have to balance this equation so it obeys the law of conservation of mass. We have 1 atom of Na on each side and 1 atom of O on each side, so these elements are balanced. However, we have 2 atoms of H on the left side and 3 atoms of H on the right side. The easiest way to balance the H without modifying the other elements is by making 1/2 the stoichiometric coefficient of H₂.

Na + H₂O → NaOH + 1/2 H₂

What happens to the density of a substance when it is heated? Explain your answer.

hoa [83]

Heating a substance causes molecules to speed up and spread slightly further apart, occupying a larger volume that results in a decrease in density. Cooling a substance causes molecules to slow down and get slightly closer together, occupying a smaller volume that results in an increase in density.

The equilibrium constant Kp for the reaction (CH3),CCI (g) = (CH3),C=CH, (g) + HCl (g) is 3.45 at 500. K. (5.00 x 10K) Calculate

Karolina [17]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of $K_p$ for the reaction is 6.32 and concentrations of $(CH_3)_2C=CH,HCl\text{ and }(CH_3)_3CCl$ is 0.094 M, 0.094 M and 0.106 M respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Relation of $K_p$ with $K_c$ is given by the formula:

$K_p=K_c(RT)^{\Delta ng}$

where,

$K_p$ = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure = 3.45

$K_c$ = equilibrium constant in terms of concentration = ?

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature = 500 K

$\Delta n_g$ = change in number of moles of gas particles = $n_{products}-n_{reactants}=2-1=1$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$3.45=K_c\times (0.0821\times 500)^{1}\\\\K_c=\frac{3.45}{0.0821\times 500}=0.084$

The equation used to calculate concentration of a solution is:

$\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Moles}}{\text{Volume (in L)}}$

Initial moles of $(CH_3)_3CCl(g)$ = 1.00 mol

Volume of the flask = 5.00 L

So, $\text{Concentration of }(CH_3)_3CCl=\frac{1.00mol}{5.00L}=0.2M$

For the given chemical reaction:

$(CH_3)_3CCl(g)\rightarrow (CH_3)_2C=CH(g)+HCl(g)$

Initial: 0.2 - -

At Eqllm: 0.2 - x x x

The expression of $K_c$ for above reaction follows:

$K_c=\frac{[(CH_3)_2C=CH]\times [HCl]}{[(CH_3)_3CCl]}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.084=\frac{x\times x}{0.2-x}\\\\x^2+0.084x-0.0168=0\\\\x=0.094,-0.178$

Negative value of 'x' is neglected because initial concentration cannot be more than the given concentration

Calculating the concentration of reactants and products:

$[(CH_3)_2C=CH]=x=0.094M$

$[HCl]=x=0.094M$

$[(CH_3)_3CCl]=(0.2-x)=(0.2-0.094)=0.106M$

Hence, the value of $K_p$ for the reaction is 6.32 and concentrations of $(CH_3)_2C=CH,HCl\text{ and }(CH_3)_3CCl$ is 0.094 M, 0.094 M and 0.106 M respectively.

Molarity to percent by mass. Convert 1.672 mol/L MgCl2(aq) solution to percent by mass of MgCl2 in the solution. The solution de

nignag [31]

Answer:

$\%m/m=14\%$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the molarity of magnesium chloride (molar mass = 95.211 g/mol) is 1.672 mol/L and we know the density of the solution, we can first compute the concentration in g/L as shown below:

$[MgCl_2]=1.672\frac{molMgCl_2}{L}*\frac{95.211gMgCl_2}{1molMgCl_2}=159.2\frac{gMgCl_2}{L}$
