The Balance Chemical equation for said reaction is as follow,

                         C₂H₆   + 3.5 O₂    →    2 CO₂  +  3 H₂O
Or,
                        2 C₂H₆   + 7 O₂    →    4 CO₂  +  6 H₂O

According to equation,

        2 moles of Ethane react completely with  =  7 moles of Oxygen

So,

               4.20 moles of Ethane will react with  =  X moles of Oxygen

Solving for X,

                             X  =  (4.20 mol × 7 mol) ÷ 2 mol

                             X  = 14.7 moles of Oxygen

Result:
            14.7 moles of Oxygen
are required to react with 4.20 moles of Ethane for complete reaction.

Write the balanced chemical equation for the Haber-Bosch process, that is, the combination of nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammo
RoseWind [281]
The balanced chemical equation for the Haber-Bosch process is N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) → 2NH₃(g). The Haber-Bosch process played a significant role in boosting agriculture back in the day. It paved the way for the industrial production of ammonia which is used in the manufacture of fertilizers. The process involves reacting atmospheric N₂ with H₂ using a metal catalyst under high temperature and pressure.

For each of the salts below, match the salts that can be compared directly, using Ksp values, to estimate solubilities.
Anni [7]

Answer:

1 - Salts required  that can be compared directly, using Ksp values, to estimate solubilities for copper (II) sulfide are - CaSO_3 (Option b) ,BaCrO_4 (Option c) and CaS (Option d)

2 - Salts  that can be compared directly, using Ksp values, to estimate solubilities for zinc hydroxide are - Mg(OH)_2 (Option a)

Explanation:

K_s_p values can be used to compare the solubility of salts that produce ions in a 1:1 ratio.

  1. CuS {copper (II)sulfide} dissociates with ions in ratio 1:1 .

Because the salts CaSO_3 , BaCrO_4 and CaS  have a 1:1 ion ratio, the solubilities of options b, c, and d can be compared to salt 1.

K_s_p Values can be used to compare the solubility of salts that produce ions in a 1:2 or 2:1 ratio.

  2. Zn(OH)_2 dissociates into ions in ratio 1:2 .

Because the ions in the salt Mg(OH)_2 are in a 1:2 ratio, the solubility of salt 2 can be compared to that of salt 'a'.

Hence , Salt 1 is matched with options b , c , d.

              Salt 2 is matched with option a.

Express the van der Waals equation of state as a virial expansion in powers of 1/Vm and obtain expressions for B and C in terms
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

PV_{m} = RT[1 + (b-\frac{a}{RT})\frac{1}{V_{m} } + \frac{b^{2} }{V^{2} _{m} } + ...]

B = b -a/RT

C = b^2

a = 1.263 atm*L^2/mol^2

b = 0.03464 L/mol

Explanation:

In the given question, we need to express the van der Waals equation of state as a virial expansion in powers of 1/Vm and obtain expressions for B and C in terms of the parameters a and b. Therefore:

Using the van deer Waals equation of state:

P = \frac{RT}{V_{m}-b } - \frac{a}{V_{m} ^{2} }

With further simplification, we have:

P = RT[\frac{1}{V_{m}-b } - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} ^{2} }]

Then, we have:

P = \frac{RT}{V_{m} } [\frac{1}{1-\frac{b}{V_{m} } } - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]

Therefore,

PV_{m} = RT[(1-\frac{b}{V_{m} }) ^{-1} - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]

Using the expansion:

(1-x)^{-1} = 1 + x + x^{2} + ....

Therefore,

PV_{m} = RT[1+\frac{b}{V_{m} }+\frac{b^{2} }{V_{m} ^{2} } + ... -\frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]

Thus:

PV_{m} = RT[1 + (b-\frac{a}{RT})\frac{1}{V_{m} } + \frac{b^{2} }{V^{2} _{m} } + ...]           equation (1)

Using the virial equation of state:

P = RT[\frac{1}{V_{m} }+ \frac{B}{V_{m} ^{2}}+\frac{C}{V_{m} ^{3} }+ ...]

Thus:

PV_{m} = RT[1+ \frac{B}{V_{m} }+ \frac{C}{V_{m} ^{2} } + ...]     equation (2)

Comparing equations (1) and (2), we have:

B = b -a/RT

C = b^2

Using the measurements on argon gave B = −21.7 cm3 mol−1 and C = 1200 cm6 mol−2 for the virial coefficients at 273 K.

b = \sqrt{C} = \sqrt{1200} = 34.64[tex]cm^{3}/mol[/tex] = 0.03464 L/mol

a = (b-B)*RT = (34.64+21.7)*(1L/1000cm^3)*(0.0821)*(273) = 1.263 atm*L^2/mol^2

Solution with a ph of 3 has how many times more h+ ions than one with a ph of 4? 5?
Lerok [7]
Solution with a pH of 3 has 10⁻³ moles of H⁺, solution with a pH of 4 has 10⁻⁴ moles of H⁺ and solution with a pH of 5 has 10⁻⁵ moles of H⁺ (in dm³) so the solution with a pH of 3 has 10 times more H⁺ ions than the solution with a pH of 4 and 100 times more H⁺ ions than the solution with a pH of 5.
