I will give brainliest. If you burn the carbon in limited air, the reaction is
Fynjy0 [20]

This reaction is different in that the carbon undergoes an incomplete combustion as opposed to complete combustion where carbon is fully oxidized. A caveat: incomplete combustion products in general can be difficult to predict without sufficient information, as it's not uncommon to obtain a mixture of different products.

Here, we are told that solid carbon is burned in limited air to produce a gas. I am presuming that, in the equation that's given, the "0" represents a blank where you must fill in a chemical symbol. In this case, our equation would be: 2C(s) + O₂(g) → 2CO(g).

There is not enough information here to provide the numerical answers to the two questions. From the words in the question (e.g., "is different" and "this time"), it would seem that this question is an excerpt from a larger or preceding question where specific numbers had been provided or computed.

However, it's possible to make some general observations on how one may go about answering these questions <em>if </em>one had more information.

Since we're to assume that oxygen is the limiting reagent, if one is given the amount of solid carbon (either in mass, moles, or number of atoms), it's possible to determine the moles of CO(g) that's produced since C and CO have an equal stoichiometric ratio. So, for example, if one burns 2 moles of C(s), then 2 moles of CO(g) would be produced.

<em><u>But</u></em>, there is still not enough information to compute the volume of CO gas if this is the line of questioning. We don't know, for instance, the temperature or pressure of the reaction conditions. In fact, the only way it would be possible to answer this would be if you were given beforehand a conversion factor that relates the volume of CO(g) to its quantity (e.g., to assume that one mole of gas occupies <em>x </em>liters).

As for the second question, this would depend on what you know about the quantity of the C(s) reacted and/or the quantity (or volume, from question a) of CO(g) produced. If you can get the number of moles of C(s) reacted or CO(g) produced, the number of moles of O₂(g) used up: It would be half the number of moles of C(s) reacted or half the number of moles of CO(g) produced). <u>Again</u>, it's impossible to determine the volume of O₂(g) using just the information provided here, so I suspect that you must have further information relating gas quantity to volume. As we did with CO(g), the volume of O₂(g) used up can be found using whatever conversion factor you have.

If you have any further information or questions, please feel free to follow up.

Calculate the concentration of the following solution in mol/dm3 0.1 moles of NaCl in 200 cm3
taurus [48]
1 cm ^{3} = 0.001 dm ^{3}. Therefore 200 cm ^{3} = 0.2 dm ^{3}. Molarity = \frac{number of moles of NaCl}{volume of the solution} =  \frac{0.1}{0.2} = 0.5 mol/dm^{3}. Hope this helps.

A student is asked to standardize a solution of potassium hydroxide. He weighs out 1.08 g potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHC8H4O4
natka813 [3]

Answer:

A. 0.143 M

B. 0.0523 M

Explanation:

A.

Let's consider the neutralization reaction between potassium hydroxide and potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP).

KOH + KHC₈H₄O₄ → H₂O + K₂C₈H₄O₄

The molar mass of KHP is 204.22 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 1.08 g are:

1.08 g × (1 mol/204.22 g) = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol

The molar ratio of KOH to KHC₈H₄O₄ is 1:1. The reacting moles of KOH are 5.28 × 10⁻³ moles.

5.28 × 10⁻³ moles of KOH occupy a volume of 36.8 mL. The molarity of the KOH solution is:

M = 5.28 × 10⁻³ mol / 0.0368 L = 0.143 M

B.

Let's consider the neutralization of potassium hydroxide and perchloric acid.

KOH + HClO₄ → KClO₄ + H₂O

When the molar ratio of acid (A) to base (B) is 1:1, we can use the following expression.

M_{A} \times V_{A} = M_{B} \times V_{B}\\M_{A} = \frac{M_{B} \times V_{B}}{V_{A}} \\M_{A} = \frac{0.143 M \times 10.1mL}{27.6mL}\\M_{A} =0.0523 M
