Which group 16 element combines with hydrogen to form a compound that has the strongest hydrogen bonding between its molecules?

1 answer:

6 0

<span>The group 16 element which combines with hydrogen to form a compound that has the strongest hydrogen bonding between its moleculen is is oxygen. This fact can be observed from the boiling points of the hydrides of the elements of group 16. For instance, the boiling point of hydrogen sulphide is - 60 degree celcius,that of hydrogen selenide is - 41.2 degree celcius, hydrogen telluride boiling point is - 2.2 degree celcius while that of water is 100 degree celcius. These bioiling points proof that the intermolecular hydrogen bond between the molecules of hydrogen and oxygen are the strongest.</span>

how many kilograms of a 35% m/m sodium chlorate solution is needed to react completely with 0.29 l of a 22% m/v aluminum nitrate

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:- 0.273 kg

Solution:- A double replacement reaction takes place. The balanced equation is:

$3NaClO_3+Al(NO_3)_3\rightarrow 3NaNO_3+Al(ClO_3)_3$

We have 0.29 L of 22% m/v aluminum nitrate solution. m/s stands for mass by volume. 22% m/v aluminium nitrate solution means 22 g of it are present in 100 mL solution. With this information, we can calculate the grams of aluminum nitrate present in 0.29 L.

$0.29L(\frac{1000mL}{1L})(\frac{22g}{100mL})$

= 63.8 g aluminum nitrate

From balanced equation, there is 1:3 mol ratio between aluminum nitrate and sodium chlorate. We will convert grams of aluminum nitrate to moles and then on multiplying it by mol ratio we get the moles of sodium chlorate that could further be converted to grams.

We need molar masses for the calculations, Molar mass of sodium chlorate is 106.44 gram per mole and molar mass of aluminum nitrate is 212.99 gram per mole.

$63.8gAl(NO_3)_3(\frac{1mol}{212.99g})(\frac{3molNaClO_3}{1molAl(NO_3)_3})(\frac{106.44g}{1mol})$

= $95.7gNaClO_3$

sodium chlorate solution is 35% m/m. This means 35 g of sodium chlorate are present in 100 g solution. From here, we can calculate the mass of the solution that will contain 95.7 g of sodium chlorate and then the grams are converted to kg.

$95.7gNaClO_3(\frac{100gSolution}{35gNaClO_3})(\frac{1kg}{1000g})$
