<h3>Answer:</h3>

16.02 g

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Mass of chromium as 12.85 g
  • Mass of phosphoric acid as 10.72 g

We are require to calculate the maximum mass of chromium (III) phosphate that can be produced.

  • The equation for the reaction is;

2Cr(s) + 2H₃PO₄(aq) → 2CrPO₄(s) + 3H₂(g)

<h3>Step 1: Determining the number of moles of Chromium and phosphoric acid</h3>

Moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass

Molar mass of chromium = 52.0 g/mol

Moles of Chromium = 12.85 g ÷ 52.0 g/mol

                                 = 0.247 moles

Molar mass of phosphoric acid = 97.994 g/mol

Moles of phosphoric acid = 10.72 g ÷ 97.994 g/mol

                                          = 0.109 moles

<h3>Step 2: Determine the rate limiting reactant </h3>
  • From the equation, 2 moles of chromium reacts with 2 moles of phosphoric acid.
  • Therefore, 0.247 moles of Chromium will require 0.247 moles of phosphoric acid, but we only have 0.109 moles.
  • This means chromium is in excess and phosphoric acid is the rate limiting reagent.
<h3>Step 3: Moles of Chromium(III) phosphate</h3>
  • From the equation, 2 moles of phosphoric acid reacts to yield 2 moles of chromium (III) phosphate.
  • Therefore, Moles of Chromium (III) phosphate = Moles of phosphoric acid

Hence; moles of CrPO₄ = 0.109 moles

<h3>Step 4: Maximum mass of  CrPO₄ that can be produced</h3>

We know that, mass = Moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of  CrPO₄ = 146.97 g/mol

Thus,

Mass of  CrPO₄ = 0.109 moles × 146.97 g/mol

                         = 16.02 g

Thus, the maximum mass of CrPO₄ that can be produced is 16.02 g

A runner is traveling around the track below at a constant speed. Is she accelerating?
Black_prince [1.1K]

<h2>ANSWER:</h2>

D.No, she is not accelerating because her speed is constant.

<h2>EXPLANATION:</h2>

The rate of change of velocity with respect to time is known as acceleration.

acceleration =change in velocity/time

As she is running at constant speed  and there is no change in velocity so she is not accelerating.

Select the conjugate acid-base pair(s). a) HI, I b) HCHO2, SO4^2- c) CO3^2-, HCI d) PO4^3-, HPO4^2-
Semenov [28]

Answer:

d) PO4^3-, HPO4^2-

Explanation:

Basically, an acid and a base which differs only by the presence or absence of  proton (hydrogen ion) are called a conjugate acid-base pair.

a) HI, I

This is incorrect. For the acid, HI the conjugate base is I⁻ ion.

b) HCHO2, SO4^2-

This is incorrect, there's no relationship between both entities.

c) CO3^2-, HCI

This is incorrect, there's no relationship between both entities.

d) PO4^3-, HPO4^2-

This is correct. The difference between both entities is the Hydrogen ion. This is the conjugate acid-base pair
