Write the net ionic equation for the equilibrium that is established when potassium hypochlorite is dissolved in water.

1 answer:

5 0

Potassium hypochlorite when dissolved in water would dissociate into ions namely the potassium ions and the hypochlorite ions. Furthermore, hypochlorite ions would interact with water molecules and would decompose further. The dissociation reactions are as follows:

KClO <=> K+ + ClO-
ClO- + H2O <=> HOCl + OH-

Adding the two reactions, would give

KClO + ClO- + H2O = K+ + HOCl + OH- + ClO-

The two ClO- ions in both sides would cancel giving us the net ionic equation:

KClO + H2O = K+ + HOCl + OH-

A twenty-eight-liter volume of gas contains 11 g methane, 1.5-gram nitrogen and 16-gram carbon dioxide. Determine partial pressu

GREYUIT [131]

Based on Dalton's Law, for a mixture of gases, the total pressure is the sum of the partial pressure of each gas.

Partial pressure (p) of each gas is related to the total pressure (P) as follows:

p = X * P----------(1)

where X is the mole fraction of that gas

X = moles of a particular gas/total number of moles of all gases in the mixture--------------(2)

Step 1: Calculate the moles of each gas

Mass of methane, CH4 = 11 g

Mass of nitrogen, N2 = 1.4 g

Mass of carbon dioxide, CO2 = 16 g

# moles of CH4 = 11 g/16 gmol-1 = 0.6875

# moles of N2 = 1.4/28 = 0.05

# moles of CO2 = 16/44 = 0.3636

Total moles = 0.6875+0.05+0.3636 = 1.1011

Step2: Calculate mole fractions of each gas

Based on equation (2)

X(CH4) = 0.6875/1.1011 = 0.6244

X(N2) = 0.05/1.1011 = 0.0454

X(CO2) = 0.3636/1.1011 = 0.3302

Step 3: Calculate the total pressure

Based on ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

given that;

V = 28 L

n = total moles = 1.1011

R = gas constant = 0.0821 Latm/mol-K

Since temp T is not given, let us consider room temperature of 25 C = 25 + 273 = 298 K

Now, P = nRT/V = 1.011*0.0821*298/28 = 0.962 atm

Step 3: Calculate partial pressures

Based on equation:

p(CH4) = 0.6244*0.962 atm = 0.601 atm

P(N2) = 0.0454*0.962 atm = 0.044 atm

P(CO2) = 0.3302*0.962 atm = 0.318 atm

How many grams of Co3+ are present in 2.34 grams of cobalt(III) nitrite?

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

$m_{Co^{3+}}=0.563gCo^{3+}$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since these mole-mass relationships are understood in terms of the moles of the atoms forming the considered compound, we first realize that the chemical formula of the cobalt (III) nitrate is Co(NO₃)₃ whereas there is a 1:1 mole ratio of the cobalt (III) ion (molar mass = 58.93 g/mol) to the entire compound. In such a way, we first compute the moles of the salt (molar mass = 58.93 g/mol) and then apply the aforementioned mole ratio to obtain the grams of the required cation:

$m_{Co^{3+}}=2.34gCo(NO_3)_3*\frac{1molCo(NO_3)_3}{244.95 gCo(NO_3)_3} *\frac{1molCo^{3+}}{1molCo(NO_3)_3} *\frac{58.93gCo^{3+}}{1molCo^{3+}} \\\\m_{Co^{3+}}=0.563gCo^{3+}$

Best regards!

Mg_25 25 10 2.5

Mg_26 26 11 2.86

Total 24.32

Discussion

The method of calculation for this table, which was done in Excel (a spread sheet) is shown below. Assume that there is 100 grams of material of "pure" magnesium. What is it's mass?

Sample Calculation

The the sample atomic mass = 24

Mass = % * sample atomic mass

Mass = 79% * 24

Mass = (79/100) * 24

Mass = 18.96

Note

The other two elements are found exactly the same as the sample calculation.

Then all you do is add the 3 masses together.

Answer

The mass of Mg to 1 decimal place is 24.3 <<<< Answer.
