Na2CO3 reacts with dil.HCl to produce NaCl, H2O and CO2. If 21.2 g of pure Na2CO3 are added in a solution containing 21.9g HCl ,

puteri [66]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction;

Na2CO3(aq) + 2HCl(aq) -------> 2NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Number of moles of Na2CO3 = 21.2g/106g/mol = 0.2 moles Na2CO3

Number of moles of HCl = 21.9g/36.5g/mol = 0.6 moles of HCl

1 mole of Na2CO3 reacts with 2 moles of HCl

0.2 moles of Na2CO3 reacts with 0.2 × 2/1 = 0.4 moles of HCl

Hence Na2CO3 is the limiting reactant

Since there is 0.6 moles of HCl present, the number of moles of excess reagent=

0.6 moles - 0.4 moles = 0.2 moles of HCl

1 mole of Na2CO3 forms 1 mole of water

0.2 moles of Na2CO3 forms 0.2 moles of water

Number of molecules of water formed = 0.2 moles × 6.02 × 10^23 = 1.2 × 10^23 molecules of water

1 mole of Na2CO3 yields 1 mole of CO2

0.2 moles of Na2CO3 yields 0.2 moles of CO2

1 mole of CO2 occupies 22.4 L

0.2 moles of CO2 occupies 0.2 × 22.4 = 4.48 L at STP

Hence;

V1=4.48 L

T1 = 273 K

P1= 760 mmHg

T2 = 27°C + 273 = 300 K

P2 = 760 mmHg

V2 =

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

P1V1T2 = P2V2T1

V2 = P1V1T2/P2T1

V2 = 760 × 4.48 × 300/760 × 273

V2= 4.9 L

The limiting reactant is the reactant that determines the amount of product formed in a reaction. When the limiting reactant is exhausted, the reaction stops.

A compound that conducts an electric current in aqueous solution or in the molten state.

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

A compound that conducts an electric current in aqueous solution or in the molten state is a ionic compound.

E.g. NaCl (table salt)

Explanation:

Some examples of ionic compounds are NaCl, KF, KI, MgSO₄.

Ionic compounds are formed by positivie ions (named cations) and negative ions (named anions). The strong electrostatic atraction between cations and anions permits the formation of crystals, which are stuctures characterized by a regular pattern. In solid state the ions are in fixed positions.

In order to conduct electricity, the charged particles (cations and anions in the case of the ionic compounds) need to move freely.

Hence, since in solid state, ionic compounds do not conduct electric current. But, in molten (liquid) state or in aqueous solution, ionic compounds conduct electric current because, then, the ions move freely.
