Answer:

3C3H8O2 and 16H2SO4

Explanation:

C3H8O2(aq) + K2Cr2O7(aq) → C3H4O4(aq) + Cr2(SO4)3(aq)

In acidic reaction you need to separate the half-reactions knows.

C3H8O2(aq)  → C3H4O4(aq)

Cr2O7(2-) → Cr(+3) (aq)

Balance elements other than O and H. Add H2O to balance oxygen, balance hydrogen by adding protons (H+) and Balance the charge of each equation with electrons

C3H8O2(aq) + 2H2O(l)  → C3H4O4(aq) + 8H(+) + 8e(-)

Cr2O7(2-) + 14H(+) + 6e(-) → 2Cr(+3) + 7H2O (aq)

Scale the reactions so that the electrons are equal. If not look for a common multiple. In this case is 24, 8*3=6*4. So for each equation multiply for the correct multiple. Then

3C3H8O2(aq) + 6H2O(l)  → 3C3H4O4(aq) + 24H(+) + 24e(-)

4Cr2O7(2-) + 56H(+) + 24e(-) → 8Cr(+3) + 28H2O (aq)

Add the reactions and cancel out common terms and group the ions in compounds if u can.

3C3H8O2(aq)  + 32H(+) + 4Cr2O7(2-)  → 3C3H4O4(aq) + 4Cr2(SO4)3(aq) + 22H2O (aq)

We are in acidic medium  so the H(+) must be from H2SO4. So 32H(+) is  16H2SO4 in reactives. Add SO4(2-) in products and balance

16H2SO4 +3C3H8O2(aq) + 4Cr2O7(2-)  → 3C3H4O4(aq) 4Cr2(SO4)3(aq) + 22H2O (aq) + 4SO4(2-)

Then

16H2SO4 +3C3H8O2(aq) + 4Cr2O7(2-)  → 3C3H4O4(aq) 4Cr2(SO4)3(aq) + 22H2O (aq) +  + 2K2SO4 (aq)

What is Δn for the following equation in relating Kc to Kp?2 SO2(g) + O2(g) ↔ 2 SO3(g)23-2-11
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

-1

Explanation:

The relation between Kp and Kc is given below:

K_p= K_c\times (RT)^{\Delta n}

Where,  

Kp is the pressure equilibrium constant

Kc is the molar equilibrium constant

R is gas constant

T is the temperature in Kelvins

Δn = (No. of moles of gaseous products)-(No. of moles of gaseous reactants)

For the first equilibrium reaction:

2SO_2_{(g)}+O_2_{(g)}\rightleftharpoons2SO_3_{(g)}

<u>Δn = (2)-(2+1) = -1  </u>

Thus, Kp is:

K_p=  K_c\times (RT)^{-1}

Calculate the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 0.2 mol sucrose in enough water to make a 100 ml solution.
Lelechka [254]

Taking into account the definition of molarity, the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 0.2 mol sucrose in enough water to make a 100 mL solution is 2 \frac{moles}{liter}.

<h3>Definition of molarity</h3>

Molar concentration or molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solute in a solution and indicates the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a given volume.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of solute by the volume of the solution:

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

Molarity is expressed in units \frac{moles}{liter}.

<h3>Molarity in this case</h3>

In this case, you have:

  • number of moles= 0.2 moles
  • volume= 100 mL= 0.1 L

Replacing in the definition of molarity:

molarity=\frac{0.2 mole}{0.1 L}

Solving:

<u><em>molarity= 2 </em></u>\frac{moles}{liter}

Finally, the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 0.2 mol sucrose in enough water to make a 100 mL solution is 2 \frac{moles}{liter}.
