A 12.2-g sample of x reacts with a sample of y to form 78.9 g of xy. what is the mass of y that reacted?

1 answer:

4 0

We will assume that the only reactants are x and y and that the only product is xy.

Based on the law of mass conservation, mass is an isolated system that can neither be created nor destroyed.

Applying this concept to the chemical reaction, we will find that the total mass of the reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products,
therefore:
mass of x + mass of y = mass of xy
12.2 + mass of y = 78.9
mass of y = 78.9 - 12.2 = 66.7 grams

What are the possible values of n and ml for an electron in a 5d orbital?

liberstina [14]

Answer:

The answer to your question is n = 5, l = 2, m can be -2, -1, 0, 1 or 2

Explanation:

Data

orbital = 5d

values of n, l, m

Process

1.- Determine the value of n

n is the coefficient of the orbital, in this problem n = 5

2.- Determine the value of l

l takes values depending in the sublevel of energy,

if the sublevel is s then l = 0

p l = 1

d l = 2

f l = 3

For this problem l = 2

3.- Determine the value of m

when l = 2, m takes values of -2, - 1, 0, 1 or 2

What is the significance of "Er" in the diagram?

Drupady [299]

Answer:

The significance of "Er" in the diagram is :

B.) Threshold energy for reaction

Explanation:

Threshold energy : It is total amount of energy required by the reactant molecule to reach the transition state .

Activation energy : It is the excess energy absorbed by the molecules to reach the transition state.

Activation Energy = Threshold Energy - Average Kinetic Energy

This means Activation energy decreases on increasing kinetic energy

On increasing Temperature average kinetic energy of the molecule increases which reduces the activation energy and the reaction occur faster in that case.

Catalyst also reduces the Activation energy.

Er = Threshshold energy for reaction at 30 degree

Ea = Activation Energy

The given figure shows that the threshold energy decreases on increasing the temperature

Only the molecule having energy greater than Er can react to form product

Determine the mass of CO2 gas produced when 8.24 g of NaHCO3 is added to a solution that contains 4.41 g of HCl.

hjlf

The mass of CO₂ gas = 4.312 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Reaction

NaHCO₃ (s) + HCl (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H₂O (aq) + CO₂ (g)

Find limiting reactant

mol NaHCO₃

$\tt \dfrac{8.24}{84,007 }=0.098$

mol HCl

$\tt \dfrac{4.41}{36.5}=0.121$

Limiting reactant : NaHCO₃ (smaller)

mol CO₂ = mol NaHCO₃ = 0.098

mass CO₂ :

$\tt 0.098\times 44=4.312~g$

What is the formula to use for this question, "how far does light travel in 2.5s"?

Nutka1998 [239]

The definition of the speed of light is exactly 299,792,458 meters per second, so to find how far it travels in a time period, multiply the speed of light times the time. Aka c=299,792,458m/s where c is speed of light, m is meters, and s is seconds. So for example to find how far light travels in 5 seconds, multiply by 5.
