Answer:

Complex formation

Explanation:

At first sight, one may think that a reaction between calcium oxalate and platinum metal is impossible considering the relative positions of the two metals in the electrochemical series.

However, in solution, calcium oxalate dissociates into calcium and oxalate ions. When platinum is added to this solution, a complex is formed between the platinum ions and the oxalate ions. Hence a reaction occurs for this reason.

Answer:

The reaction that occurs between calcium oxalate and platinum is called Complex formation.

Explanation:

First of all, one might have this belief that there is no possible way a reaction would occur between platinum metal and calcium oxalate, it is taking into consideration because of the relative positions of the two metals in the electro-chemical series.

But in a solution, calcium oxalate seperate into oxalate and calcium ions. when the platinum is put oradded to this solution, a complex is formed between the oxalate ions and platinum ions. then what occurs next is a reaction.

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

In each row check off the boxes that apply to the underlined reactant. The underlined reactant acts as a... (check all that apply)

1. $HCH_3CO_2(aq)+NH_3(aq)\rightarrow CH_3COO^-(aq)+NH_4^+(aq)$

here underlined is $HCH_3CO_2$

A. Brønsted-Lowry acid

B. Brønsted-Lowry base

C. Lewis acid

D. Lewis base

2. $BH_3(aq)+NH_3(aq)\rightarrow BH_3NH_3(aq)$

Here underlined is $NH_3$

A. Brønsted-Lowry acid

B. Brønsted-Lowry base

C. Lewis acid

D. Lewis base

3. $HNO_2(aq)+C_2H_5NH_2(aq)\rightarrow NO_2^-(aq) + C_2H_5NH_3^+(aq)$

Here underlined is $C_2H_5NH_2$

A. Brønsted-Lowry acid

B. Brønsted-Lowry base

C. Lewis acid

D. Lewis base

Answer: 1. Brønsted-Lowry acid

2. Lewis base

3. Brønsted-Lowry base

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

1. $HCH_3CO_2(aq)+NH_3(aq)\rightarrow CH_3CO^{2-}(aq)+NH_4^+aq)$

As $HCH_3CO_2(aq)$ is donating a proton , it acts as a bronsted acid.

2. $BH_3(aq)+NH_3(aq)\rightarrow BH_3NH_3(aq)$

As $NH_3$ contains a lone pair of electron on nitrogen , it can easily donate electrons to $BH_3$ and act as lewi base.

3. $HNO_2(aq)+C_2H_5NH_2(aq)\rightarrow NO_2^-(aq) + C_2H_5NH_3^+(aq)$

As $C_2H_5NH_2(aq)$ is accepting a proton , it acts as a bronsted base.

How many grams of KCl is needed to make .75 L of a 1 M solution of KCl?

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 25.9 g of KCl

Explanation:

Data

Grams of KCl = ?

Volume = 0.75 l

Molarity = 1 M

Formula

$Molarity = \frac{number of moles}{volume}$

Solve for number of moles

$Number of moles = Molarity x volume$

Substitution

Number of moles = 1 x 0.75

Simplification

Number of moles = 0.75 moles

Molecular mass KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 34.5

Use proportions to find the grams of KCl

34.5 g of KCl ---------------- 1 mol

x ---------------- 0.75 moles

x = (0.75 x 34.5) / 1

x = 25.9 g of KCl
