ANSWERS:

Group 2 metal carbonates, nitrates and hydroxides decompose to heat to give the corresponding metal oxide and release CO2, NO2 and O2, and H2O respectively. The thermal stability increases down the group as theionic character of the compounds increases down the group.

A mole is blank objects

solniwko [45]

Answer:

Well what I found was that this was this answer

Explanation:

A mole is 6.022 x 1023 objects of any kind - atoms, electrons, molecules, cars, people, etc... . It is known as Avogadro's number after the scientist who discovered ... Blah blah I think you get it.

For the following reaction, 4.34 grams of sulfur dioxide are mixed with excess oxygen gas . The reaction yields 3.89 grams of su

Degger [83]

Answer:

5.42g, 71.77%

Explanation:

First, we have to write out the balanced chemical equation. The unbalanced equation can be written as “SO2+O2 -> SO3” and to balance it, we can see that having two mols of SO2 and two mols of SO3 will make each side have the same amount of mols per element on each side. So the balanced chemical equation is “2SO2 + O2 -> 2SO3”

Now, we want to solve for the theoretical yield in grams of SO3. To do this, we have to use dimensional analysis. We convert g SO2 into mols SO2 using the molar mass of the elements. Then we convert mols of SO2 into mols of SO3 using the balanced equation. Once we’ve done that, we can convert mols of SO3 into grams of SO3.

You should know how to look up the molar mass of elements on the periodic table by now. Find the masses and set up the terms so they cancel like so:

$4.34g \times \frac{1mol \: so2}{64.07g \: so2} \times \frac{2 \: mol \: so3}{2 \: mol \: so2} \times \frac{80.07gso3}{1 \: mol \: so3}$

Doing the math, we get 5.42g so3 as the theoretical yield. This is the most amount that you could ever get if the world was a perfect place. But alas, it isn’t and mistakes are gonna happen, so the number is going to be less than that. So the best we can do, is to figure out the percent yield that we got.

In a lab scenario, this was calculated to be 3.89 g as stated by the problem. The percent composition formula is

$| \frac{result}{expected \: result} | \times 100$

and plugging the numbers into it, we get:

$| \frac{3.89}{5.42} | \times 100 = 71.77\%$

make sure to follow the decimal/significant figure rules of your instructor, but only round at the end. My professor didn't care too much thankfully, but some professors do

It is expected that a chemical reaction will occur when copper metal is combined with aqueous zinc sulfate. Explain why there wi

REY [17]

Answer:

$E_{cell}$ = +ve, reaction is spontaneous

$E_{cell}$ = -ve, reaction is non spontaneous

$E_{cell}$ = 0, reaction is in equilibrium

Case 1: when copper metal is combined with aqueous zinc sulfate.

$Cu+ZnSO_4\rightarrow Zn+CuSO_4$

Here copper is undergoing oxidation ad thus acts as anode and zinc is undergoing reduction , thus acts as cathode.

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential = $E^0_{cathode}- E^0_{anode}$

Where both $E^0$ are standard reduction potentials.

$E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}= +0.34V$

$E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}= -0.76V$

$E^0=E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}- E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}$

$E^0=-0.76-(+0.34)=-1.10V$

Thus as $E_{cell}$ is negative , the reaction is non spontaneous.

Case 2: when zinc metal and aqueous copper sulfate solution are combined.

$Zn+CuSO_4\rightarrow Cu+ZnSO_4$

Here zinc is undergoing oxidation ad thus acts as anode and copper is undergoing reduction , thus acts as cathode.

$E^o_{cell}$ = standard electrode potential = $E^0_{cathode}- E^0_{anode}$

Where both $E^0$ are standard reduction potentials.

$E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}= +0.34V$

$E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}= -0.76V$

$E^0=E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}- E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}$

$E^0=+0.34-(-0.76)=+1.10V$

Thus as $E_{cell}$ is positive , the reaction is spontaneous.

You find a clean 100-ml beaker, label it "#1", and place it on a tared electronic balance. You add small amount of unknown solid

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

the mas is .291 g

Explanation:

the mass of a object does not change. so when added the substance the beaker. you had the mass of both objects together. you know the mass of the beaker and you know the mass of both. since mass does not change. the beakers mass is still 74.605g. the mass of both objects is 74.896. all you have to do is subtract the mass of the beaker from the total mass. 74.896 - 74.605 equals .291g. so the mass of the unknown substance Is .291g
