Why there are different branches of chemistry

1 answer:

5 0

The 5 branches are organic, inorganic, biochemistry, analytical, and physical. There are different branches because they each apply to different parts of chemistry. For example organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds and inorganic chemistry is the study of non carbon compounds. You can't just have one type of chemistry because these are very different.

New questionWhat mass of calcium chloride (CaCl₂) would beproduced from the reaction of 125.9 g of hydrochloriacid (HCI) with ex

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

191.6 g of CaCl₂.

Explanation:

What is given?

Mass of HCl = 125.9 g.

Molar mass of CaCl₂ = 110.8 g/mol.

Molar mass of HCl = 36.4 g/mol.

Step-by-step solution:

First, we have to state the chemical equation. Ca(OH)₂ react with HCl to produce CaCl₂:

$Ca(OH)_2+2HCl\rightarrow CaCl_2+2H_2O.$

Now, let's convert 125.9 g of HCl to moles using the given molar mass (remember that the molar mass of a compound can be found using the periodic table). The conversion will look like this:

$125.9\text{ g HCl}\cdot\frac{1\text{ mol HCl}}{36.4\text{ g HCl}}=3.459\text{ moles HCl.}$

Let's find how many moles of CaCl₂ are being produced by 3.459 moles of HCl. You can see in the chemical equation that 2 moles of HCl reacted with excess Ca(OH)₂ produces 1 mol of CaCl₂, so we state a rule of three and the calculation is:

$3.459\text{ moles HCl}\cdot\frac{1\text{ mol CaCl}_2}{2\text{ moles HCl}}=1.729\text{ moles CaCl}_2.$

The final step is to find the mass of CaCl₂ using the molar mass of CaCl₂. This conversion will look like this:

$1.729\text{ moles CaCl}_2\cdot\frac{110.8\text{ g CaCl}_2}{1\text{ mol CaCl}_2}=191.6\text{ g CaCl}_2.$

The answer would be that we're producing a mass of 191.6 g of CaCl₂.

How many liters of H2O gas are produced when

anyanavicka [17]

1 mole C3H8 produces 4 moles H2O. So, first we convert 32 grams of propane to moles and then find moles of H2O. Then convert moles of H2O to grams of H2O
Moles of H2O produced = 32 g C3H8 x 1 mole/44 g x 4 moles H2O/mole C3H8 = 2.909 moles H2O
Grams H2O produced = 2.909 moles H2O x 18 g/mole = 52.36 g = 52 g H2O
