Gases take the shape of their container. When you have a large container, the spaces between molecules (particles) can be further apart than if they were close together. In small containers, the particles are forced to be closer together, or compressed.

Think of it like a pep rally in a gym v.s. a classroom. In the gym, everyone has a bit of wiggle room. With the same number of people in a classroom, everyone would need to be packed in there. This can also explain why a smaller pot over boils from steam before a larger one does, even if the amount of water is the same.

What volume in mt, of 0.5a M1HCI solution is needed to neutralize 77 ml of 1.54 M NaOH solution?
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

237.2 mL.

Explanation:

  • We have the rule: at neutralization, the no. of millimoles of acid is equal to the no. of millimoles of the base.

(XMV) acid = (XMV) base.

where, X is the no. of (H) or (OH) reproducible in acid or base, respectively.

M is the molarity of the acid or base.

V is the volume of the acid or base.

<em>(XMV) HCl = (XMV) NaOH.</em>

<em></em>

For HCl; X = 1, M = 0.5 M, V = ??? mL.

For NaOH, X = 1, M = 1.54 M, V = 77.0 mL.

<em>∴ V of HCl = (XMV) NaOH / (XV) HCl = (</em>1)(1.54 M)(77.0 mL) / (1)(0.5 M) = <em>237.2 mL.</em>

Oxygen gas can be prepared by heating potassium chlorate according to the following equation: 2KClO3(s)2KCl(s) + 3O2(g) The prod
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The number of moles of KClO₃ reacted was 0,15 mol

Explanation:

For the reaction:

2KClO₃(s) → 2KCl(s) + 2O₂(g)

The only gas product is O₂.

Total pressure is the sum of vapor pressure of water with O₂ gas formed. Thus, pressure of O₂ is:

749mmHg - 23,8mmHg = 725,2mmHg

Using gas law:

PV/RT = n

Where:

P is pressure (725,2mmHg ≡ <em>0,9542atm</em>)

V is volume (<em>5,76L</em>)

R is gas constant (<em>0,082 atmL/molK</em>)

And T is temperature (25°C ≡ <em>298,15K</em>)

Replacing, number of moles of O₂ are <em>0,2248 moles</em>

As 2 moles of KClO₃ react with 3 moles of O₂ the moles of KClO₃ that reacted was:

0,2248 mol O₂×\frac{2 mol KClO_{3}}{3 mol O_{2}} = <em>0,15 mol of KClO₃</em>

I hope it helps!

How many moles of Na₂CO₃ required to create 9.54 liters of a 3.4 M solution
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 32.44 moles

Explanation:

Data

moles of Na₂CO₃ = ?

volume = 9.54 l

concentration = 3.4 M

Formula

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

Solve for number of moles

number of moles = Molarity x volume

Substitution

Number of moles = (3.4)( 9.54)

Simplification

Number of moles = 32.44

If 12.5 grams of strontium hydroxide is reacted with 150 mL of 3.5 M carbonic acid, identify the limiting reactant.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Sr(OH)₂ will be the limiting reagent.

Explanation:

First of all, you should know the following balanced chemical equation:

2 H₂CO₃ + 2 Sr(OH)₂ → 4 H₂O + Sr₂(CO₃)₂

The balanced equation is based on the Law of Conservation of Mass, which says that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, the number of each type of atom on each side of a chemical equation must be the same.      

The limiting reagent is one that is consumed first in its entirety, determining the amount of product in the reaction. When the limiting reagent is finished, the chemical reaction will stop.

To determine the limiting reagent, it is possible to use the reaction stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction). By stoichiometry the following amounts in moles react:

  • strontium hydroxide: 2 moles
  • carbonic acid: 2 moles

Now, you know the following masses of the elements:

  • Sr: 87.62 g/mole
  • O: 16 g/mole
  • H: 1 g/mole

So the molar mass of strontium hydroxide is:

Sr(OH)₂= 87.62 g/mole + 2*(16 g/mole + 1 g/mole)= 121.62 g/mole

You apply the following rule of three, if 121.62 grams of hydroxide are present in 1 mole, 12.5 grams in how many moles are they?

moles of strontium hydroxide=\frac{12.5 grams*1 mole}{121.62 grams}

moles of hydroxide= 0.103 moles

On the other hand, you have 150 ml of 3.5 M carbonic acid. Since molarity is the concentration of a solution expressed in the number of moles dissolved per liter of solution, you can apply the following rule of three: if in 1 L there are 3.5 moles of carbonic acid, in 0.150 L (being 1 L = 1000 mL, 0.150 L = 150 mL) how many moles of acid are there?

molesofcarbonicacid=\frac{0.150 L*3.5 moles}{1 L}

moles of carbonic acid= 0.525 moles

Finally, to calculate the limiting reagent, you can use a simple rule of three as follows: if by stoichiometry 2 mole of strontium hydroxide reacts with , how much moles of carbonic acid will be needed if 0.103 moles of strontium hydroxide react?

molesofcarbonicacid=\frac{0.103 moles of strontium hydroxide*2 moles of carbonic acid}{2 moles of strontium hydroxide}

moles of carbonic acid= 0.103 moles

But 0.525 moles are available. Since more moles are available than you need to react with 0.103 moles of strontium hydroxide, <u><em>Sr(OH)₂ will be the limiting reagent.</em></u>
