how many moles of hydrogen are evolved when an excess of sodium metal is added to one mole of citric acid?

1 answer:

4 0

The formula of citric acid is:

   CO2H
   |
HO - C - CH2CO2H
   |
C - CH2 CO2H

I bolded the 4 hydrogens that can be subsituted by sodium.

Three of those hydrogens belong to carboxyl group (- CO2H) and one to a hydroxyl group (- OH).

You need to take into account that 4 H will form 2 H2 molecules.

So, the answer is that 2 moles of molecules will be formed from 1 mole of citric acid molecules.

love history [14]

T_1=27°C
T_2=40°C
V_1=1L
V_2=?

Using Charles law

$\boxed{\sf \dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto V_1T_2=V_2T_1$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 1(40)=27V_2$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto V_2=\dfrac{40}{27}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto V_2=1.48\ell$

yan [13]

Answer:

long range order

Explanation:

A crystal consists of atoms, ions or molecules having both short range and long range order. The atoms, ions or molecules are arranged in a regular pattern throughout the lattice both at immediate vicinities and across the entire crystal structure.

This order accounts for the definite shape and unique properties of crystals which include their sharp melting and boiling points which distinguishes them from amorphous substances.
