Explanation:

According to Arrhenius concept :

An acid is defined as a substance which donates hydronium ions $(H_3O^+)$ in water. For example hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid. etc.

$HA(aq)+H_2O\rightarrow A^-(aq)+H_3O^+(aq)$

A base is defined as a substance which donates hydroxide ions $(OH^-)$ when dissolved in water .For example : sodium hydroxide , calcium hydroxide etc.

$BOH(aq)\rightarrow B^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)$

Which of the following is the correct set-up for the problem: How many grams of water will be produced from 3.2 moles of oxygen

suter [353]

Option C is the correct set of the problem for mass of water produced by 3.2 moles of oxygen and an excess ethene.

<h3>Reaction between oxygen and ethene</h3>

Ethene (C2H4) burns in the presence of oxygen (O2) to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) along with the evolution of heat and light.

C₂H₄ + 3O₂ ----- > 2CO₂ + 2H₂O

from the equation above;

3 moles of O₂ ---------> 2(18 g) of water

3.5 moles of O₂ ----------> x

$x = 3.2 \times [\frac{2 \ moles \ H_2O}{3 \ moles \ O_2} ] \times[ \frac{18.02 \ g \ H_2O}{1 \ mole \ H_2O} ]$

Thus, option C is the correct set of the problem for mass of water produced by 3.2 moles of oxygen and an excess ethene.

Be sure to answer all parts. Dimercaprol (HSCH2CHSHCH2OH) was developed during World War I as an antidote to arsenic-based poiso

Sauron [17]

Answer:

For A: The number of arsenic atoms are $3.4\times 10^{21}$

For B: The percent composition of mercury, thallium and chromium in their complexes are 61.76 %, 62.2 % and 29.51 % respectively.

Explanation:

For A:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of dimercaprol = 696 mg = 0.696 g (Conversion factor: 1 g = 1000 mg)

Molar mass of dimercaprol = 124.21 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of dimercaprol}=\frac{0.696g}{124.21g/mol}=0.0056mol$

According to mole concept:

1 mole of a compound contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of molecules.

So, 0.0056 moles of dimercaprol will contain $0.0056\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=3.4\times 10^{21}$ number of molecules.

As, 1 molecule of dimercaprol binds with 1 atom of Arsenic

So, $3.4\times 10^{21}$ number of dimercaprol molecules will bind with = $1\times 3.4\times 10^{21}=3.4\times 10^{21}$ number of arsenic atoms

Hence, the number of arsenic atoms are $3.4\times 10^{21}$

For B:

We know that:

Molar mass of dimercaprol = 124.21 g/mol

Molar mass of mercury = 200.59 g/mol

Molar mass of thallium = 204.38 g/mol

Molar mass of chromium = 51.99 g/mol

Also, 1 molecule of dimercaprol binds with 1 metal atom.

To calculate the percentage composition of metal in a complex, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ composition of metal}=\frac{\text{Mass of metal}}{\text{Mass of complex}}\times 100$ ......(1)

For mercury:

Mass of Hg-complex = (200.59 + 124.21) = 324.8 g

Mass of mercury = 200.59 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\%\text{ composition of mercury}=\frac{200.59g}{324.8g}\times 100=61.76\%$

For thallium:

Mass of Tl-complex = (204.38 + 124.21) = 328.59 g

Mass of thallium = 204.38 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\%\text{ composition of thallium}=\frac{204.38g}{328.59g}\times 100=62.2\%$

For chromium:

Mass of Cr-complex = (51.99 + 124.21) = 176.2 g

Mass of chromium = 51.99 g

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\%\text{ composition of chromium}=\frac{51.99g}{176.2g}\times 100=29.51\%$

Hence, the percent composition of mercury, thallium and chromium in their complexes are 61.76 %, 62.2 % and 29.51 % respectively.
