Why can't subscripts be changed in chemical formulas

Chemistry

In a chemical formula, subscripts indicate the elements' ratio. Changing the subscripts would change the identity of the chemical. For example CO2 = carbon DIoxide, but CO = carbon MONoxide.

Fe(s) + 2HCl(aq) --> FeCl2(aq) + H2(g)
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

In the option(A) moles of HCl left are 0.100 moles which is wrong, making the option incorrect.

Explanation:

Fe(s) + 2HCl(aq)\rightarrow  FeCl_2(aq) + H_2(g)


Moles of HCl = n

Molarity of HCl = 1.0M

Volume of HCl solution = 30.0 mL = 0.030 L (1 mL = 0.001L)

Moles=Molarity\times Volume (L)

n=1.0M\times 0.030 L=0.030 mol

Moles of Fe = \frac{0.56 g}{56 g/mol}=0.01 mol

According to recation , 1mol of Fe reacts with 2 mol HCl. Then 0.01 mole of Fe will recat with :

\frac{2}{1}\times 0.01 mol= 0.02 mol of HCl

This means that HCl uis in excess , hence excessive reagent.

Moles of HCl left unreacted :

= 0.030 mol - 0.020 mol = 0.010 mol

But in the option moles of HCl left are 0.100 moles which is wrong, making the option incorrect.

H. Nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas combine to produce ammonia gas (NH3).
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

<u>27.3 L</u>

Explanation:

<u>Reaction</u>

  • N₂ (g) + 3H₂ (g) ⇒ 2NH₃ (g)
  • This is the basic reaction at STP

<u>Solving</u>

  • 10 g N₂ x 1 mol NH₃/28 g N₂ x 3 mol H₂/1 mole N₂
  • ⇒ 1.07 mol H₂

  • V = nRT/P [From Ideal Gas Equation]
  • V = 1.07 x 62.36 x 298 K / 735
  • V = <u>27.3 L</u>

Some radioactive nuclides have very short half-lives, for example, I-31 has a half-life of approximately 8 days. Pu-234, by comp
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Here's what I find.

Explanation:

Iodine-131

Iodine-131 is both a beta emitter and a gamma emitter.

_{53}^{131}\text{I}\longrightarrow \, _{54}^{131}\text{Xe} +\, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} +\, _{0}^{0}\gamma

About 90 % of the energy is β-radiation and 10 % is γ-radiation. Both forms are highly energetic.

The main danger is from ingestion. The iodine concentrates in thyroid gland, where the β-radiation destroys cells up to 2 mm from the tissues that absorbed it.

Both the β- and γ-radiation cause cell mutations that can later become cancerous. Small doses, such as those absorbed from the nuclear disasters in the Ukraine and Japan, can cause cancers years after the original iodine has disappeared.

Plutonium-239

Plutonium-239 is an alpha emitter.

_{94}^{239}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{92}^{235}\text{Xe} + \, _{2}^{4}\text{He}

Alpha particles cannot penetrate the skin, so external exposure isn't much of a health risk.

However, they are extremely dangerous when they are inhaled and get inside cells. They travel first to the blood or lymph system and later to the bone marrow and liver, where they cause up to 1000 times more chromosomal damage than beta or gamma rays.

It takes about 20 years for plutonium to be eliminated from the liver around 50 years for from the skeleton, so it has a long time to cause damage.
