Chemical reactions are at the essence of just about every biological and physical process in the whole universe. Stars form due to chemical reactions, our sun flamed up also because of chemical reactions in its core. Life basically evolved on Earth as an outcome of chemical reactions. The "circle of life" is, at its quintessence, a sequence of chemical reactions. Also our capacity to move and think is an outcome of chemical reactions that happen inside our bodies. Chemical reactions are the reason why new forms of matter are created. Chemical reactions make us comprehend the properties of matter. Chemical reactions make food into fuel for our bodies, they make fireworks blow up, they change food when it is cooked, they make soap remove dirt, and a lot more. Chemical reactions contribute to solving crimes and unravel mysteries. We can even find out which planets and moons are most likely to be able to preserve life. The most significant and momentous discovery made by humans, fire, is just a chemical reaction. Nothing would ever change without chemical reactions

If the sample contained 2.0 moles of KClO3 at a temperature of 214.0 °C, determine the mass of the oxygen gas produced in grams

Westkost [7]

Answer : The mass of the oxygen gas produced in grams and the pressure exerted by the gas against the container walls is, 96 grams and 1.78 atm respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of $KCl_3$ = 2.0 moles

Molar mass of $O_2$ = 32 g/mole

Now we have to calculate the moles of $MgO$

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$2KClO_3\rightarrow 2KCl+3O_2$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 2 mole of $KClO_3$ react to give 3 mole of $O_2$

So, 2.0 moles of $KClO_3$ react to give $\frac{2.0}{2}\times 3=3.0$ moles of $O_2$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $O_2$

$\text{ Mass of }O_2=\text{ Moles of }O_2\times \text{ Molar mass of }O_2$

$\text{ Mass of }O_2=(3.0moles)\times (32g/mole)=96g$

Therefore, the mass of oxygen gas produced is, 96 grams.

Now we have to determine the pressure exerted by the gas against the container walls.

Using ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT\\\\PV=\frac{w}{M}RT\\\\P=\frac{w}{V}\times \frac{RT}{M}\\\\P=\rho\times \frac{RT}{M}$

where,

P = pressure of oxygen gas = ?

V = volume of oxygen gas

T = temperature of oxygen gas = $214.0^oC=273+214.0=487K$

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

w = mass of oxygen gas

$\rho$ = density of oxygen gas = 1.429 g/L

M = molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:

$P=1.429g/L\times \frac{(0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (487K)}{32g/mol}$

$P=1.78atm$

Thus, the pressure exerted by the gas against the container walls is, 1.78 atm.

Need help asap with this chemistry if someone could help me

Burka [1]

Answer:

Structure One:

N: -2
C: 0
O: +1

Structure Two:

N: 0
C: 0
O: -1

Structure Three:

N: -1
C: 0
O: 0.

Structure Number Two would likely be the most stable structure.

All five C atoms: 0
All six H atoms to C: 0
N atom: +1.

The N atom is the one that is "likely" to be attracted to an anion. See explanation.

Explanation:

When calculating the formal charge for an atom, the assumption is that electrons in a chemical bond are shared equally between the two bonding atoms. The formula for the formal charge of an atom can be written as:

$\text{Formal Charge} \\ = \text{Number of Valence Electrons in Element} \\ \phantom{=}-\text{Number of Chemical Bonds} \\\phantom{=} - \text{Number of nonbonding Lone Pair Electrons}$ .

For example, for the N atom in structure one of the first question,

N is in IUPAC group 15. There are 15 - 10 = 5 valence electrons on N.
This N atom is connected to only 1 chemical bond.
There are three pairs, or 6 electrons that aren't in a chemical bond.

The formal charge of this N atom will be $5 - 1 - 6 = -2$ .

Apply this rule to the other atoms. Note that a double bond counts as two bonds while a triple bond counts as three.

Structure One:

N: -2
C: 0
O: +1

Structure Two:

N: 0
C: 0
O: -1

Structure Three:

N: -1
C: 0
O: 0.

In general, the formal charge on all atoms in a molecule or an ion shall be as close to zero as possible. That rules out Structure number one.

Additionally, if there is a negative charge on one of the atoms, that atom shall preferably be the most electronegative one in the entire molecule. O is more electronegative than N. Structure two will likely be favored over structure three.

Similarly,

All five C atoms: 0
All six H atoms to C: 0
N atom: +1.

Assuming that electrons in a chemical bond are shared equally (which is likely not the case,) the nitrogen atom in this molecule will carry a positive charge. By that assumption, it would attract an anion.

Note that in reality this assumption seldom holds. In this ion, the N-H bond is highly polarized such that the partial positive charge is mostly located on the H atom bonded to the N atom. This example shows how the formal charge assumption might give misleading information. However, for the sake of this particular problem, the N atom is the one that is "likely" to be attracted to an anion.

From the calculation, the standard free energy of the system is -359kJ.

<h3>What is the standard free-energy?</h3>

The standard free-energy is the energy present in the system. We have to first obtain the cell potential using the formula;

Ereduction - E oxidation = 0.96 V - 0.34 V = 0.62 V

Using the formula;

ΔG = -nFEcell

ΔG =-(6 * 96500 * 0.62)

ΔG =-359kJ

Which of the following factors could you change in a system and not change its induced EMF?

krok68 [10]

The options attached to the question above are listed below:
A. Magnetic field.
B. Type of wire.
C. Velocity of the wire.
D. Length of the wire in the field.

ANSWER
The correct option is B.
The factors that determine the induced current in a system are: the number of wires in the coil, the strength of the magnetic field and speed of armature rotation [speed of cutting]. Generally, the induced electromotive force across a conductor is equal to the rate at which magnetic flux is cut by the conductor. The type of wire used does not affect the induced EMF.
