The gas formed in the experiment could catch fire easily. So, he named the gas inflammable air.

He used that name because if you lit hydrogen on fire it would catch. therefore, it was dangerous to be around. think of it as a kind of warning. :) hope that helps.

Calculate the pH during the titration of 30.00 mL of 0.1000 M HCOOH(aq) with 0.1000 M NaOH(aq) after 29.3 mL of the base have be
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

3.336.

Explanation:

<em>Herein, the no. of millimoles of the acid (HCOOH) is more than that of the base (NaOH).</em>

<em />

So, <em>concentration of excess acid = [(NV)acid - (NV)base]/V total</em> = [(30.0 mL)(0.1 M) - (29.3 mL)(0.1 M)]/(59.3 mL) = <em>1.18 x 10⁻³ M.</em>

<em></em>

<em> For weak acids; [H⁺] = √Ka.C</em> = √(1.8 x 10⁻⁴)(1.18 x 10⁻³ M) = <em>4.61 x 10⁻⁴ M.</em>

∵ pH = - log[H⁺].

<em>∴ pH = - log(4.61 x 10⁻⁴) = 3.336.</em>

When 0.230 g of sodium metal is added to an excess of hydrochloric acid, 2390 J of heat are produced. What is the enthalpy of th
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

ΔHrxn = 239 kj/mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sodium = 0.230 g

Heat produced = 2390 J

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Na + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H₂

Number of moles of sodium:

Number of moles of sodium = mass / molar mass

Number of moles of sodium = 0.230 g / 23 g/mol

Number of moles of sodium = 0.01 mol

Enthalpy of reaction:

ΔHrxn =  2390 J / 0.01 mol

ΔHrxn = 239000 j/mol

ΔHrxn = 239 kj/mol
