Answer:

Explanation:

The given reaction is exothermic . So ΔH is negative .

Gas is evolving so work done by gas is positive or w is positive.

Change in internal energy that is ΔU is negative.

q = u - w

u is negative , w is positive so q is negative .

What is the empirical formula of a compound consisting of 29.6% oxygen and 70.4% fluorine by mass?
Rainbow [258]
O1Fl2

1. Assume an 100g sample, so the percentage will stay the same

2. Covert each element into their molar mass
29.6/16.00=1.8 mols of O
70.4/19.00=3.7 mols of Fl

3. Divide both by the smallest value of mol
1.8/1.8=1 O
3.7/1.8=2 Fl

4. Write the empirical formula:

Explain how the solubility of water is useful in maintaining various life processes.
Aneli [31]

Water is called a universal solvent because of its ability to dissolve different types of substances.

The basic unit of life is cell and a large portion of living cell (60%)  is made up of water, this is because cells need water to survive. Biochemical reactions are always ongoing in the living cells and water act as solvents under which these reactions occur. Because of the high solubility of water, it is able to dissolve various substances needed by the body, this makes it easy for the substance to participate in chemical reactions and to move from one point to another.  Without water biochemical reactions will not be able to occur in cells and this will lead to the death of the cells.

8. Balance the following nuclear equations:<br> ^65/30Ca -&gt; ^65/29Sc +_______
a_sh-v [17]

Explanation:

          ⁶⁵₃₀Ca   →   ⁶⁵₂₉Sc  +   ⁿₓH

The reaction above is nuclear reaction.

In a nuclear reaction, the mass number and atomic number must be conserved.

The mass number is the superscript before the atom

Atomic number is the subscript before the atom

  Conserving mass number:

       65 = 65 + n

        n = 0

   conserving atomic number:

    30 = 29 + x

     x = 1

The unknown atom is a positron i.e a positively charged electron:   ⁰₁e

              ⁶⁵₃₀Ca   →   ⁶⁵₂₉Sc  +  ⁰₁e

A sample of 23.2 g of nitrogen gas is reacted with
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

1.66 moles.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 23.2 g of nitrogen gas, N2.

This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of N2 = 2x14 = 28 g/mol

Mass of N2 = 23.2 g

Mole of N2 =.?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of N2 = 23.2/28

Mole of N2 = 0.83 mole

Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 23.2 g of Hydrogen gas, H2.

This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of H2 = 2x1 = 2 g/mol

Mass of H2 = 23.2 g

Mole of H2 =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of H2 = 23.2/2

Mole of H2 = 11.6 moles

Next, the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

N2 + 3H2 —> 2NH3

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of N2 reacted with 3 moles of H2 to produce 2 moles of NH3.

Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of N2 reacted with 3 moles of H2.

Therefore, 0.83 moles will react with = (0.83 x 3) = 2.49 moles of H2.

From the calculations made above, we can see that only 2.49 moles out of 11.6 moles of H2 is required to react completely with 0.83 mole of N2.

Therefore, N2 is the limiting reactant.

Finally, we shall determine the maximum amount of NH3 produced from the reaction.

In this case, we shall use the limiting reactant because it will give the maximum yield of NH3 since all of it is consumed in the reaction.

The limiting reactant is N2 and the maximum amount of NH3 produced can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of N2 reacted to produce 2 moles of NH3.

Therefore, 0.83 mole of N2 will react to produce = (0.83 x 2) = 1.66 moles of NH3.

Therefore, the maximum amount of NH3 produced from the reaction is 1.66 moles.
