Answer:

It shows the change in concentration of a reactant or product per unit of time, expressed as mol/(L · s)

Explanation:

The reaction rate is the speed at which a chemical reaction proceeds.

So if the reaction rate is the speed at which a chemical reaction happens/occurs, then the reaction rate will tell us about the concertation of the chemicals. It shows the change in concentration of a reactant or product per unit of time, expressed as mol/(L · s)

A solution was prepared by dissolving 195.0 g of KCl in 215 g of water. Calculate the mole fraction of KCl. (The formula weight

defon

Answer:

Approximately $0.180$ .

Explanation:

The mole fraction of a compound in a solution is:

$\displaystyle \frac{\text{Number of moles of compound in question}}{\text{Number of moles of all particles in the solution}}$ .

In this question, the mole fraction of $\rm KCl$ in this solution would be:

$\displaystyle X_\mathrm{KCl} = \frac{n(\mathrm{KCl})}{n(\text{All particles in this soluton})}$ .

This solution consist of only $\rm KCl$ and water (i.e., $\rm H_2O$ .) Hence:

$\begin{aligned} X_\mathrm{KCl} &= \frac{n(\mathrm{KCl})}{n(\text{All particles in this soluton})}\\ &= \frac{n(\mathrm{KCl})}{n(\mathrm{KCl}) + n(\mathrm{H_2O})}\end{aligned}$ .

From the question:

Mass of $\rm KCl$ : $m(\mathrm{KCl}) = 195.0\; \rm g$ .
Molar mass of $\rm KCl$ : $M(\mathrm{KCl}) = 74.6\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Mass of $\rm H_2O$ : $m(\mathrm{H_2O}) = 215\; \rm g$ .
Molar mass of $\rm H_2O$ : $M(\mathrm{H_2O}) = 18.0\; \rm g\cdot mol^{-1}$ .

Apply the formula $\displaystyle n = \frac{m}{M}$ to find the number of moles of $\rm KCl$ and $\rm H_2O$ in this solution.

$\begin{aligned}n(\mathrm{KCl}) &= \frac{m(\mathrm{KCl})}{M(\mathrm{KCl})} \\ &= \frac{195.0\; \rm g}{74.6\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 2.61\; \em \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

$\begin{aligned}n(\mathrm{H_2O}) &= \frac{m(\mathrm{H_2O})}{M(\mathrm{H_2O})} \\ &= \frac{215\; \rm g}{18.0\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 11.9\; \em \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

The molar fraction of $\rm KCl$ in this solution would be:

$\begin{aligned} X_\mathrm{KCl} &= \frac{n(\mathrm{KCl})}{n(\text{All particles in this soluton})}\\ &= \frac{n(\mathrm{KCl})}{n(\mathrm{KCl}) + n(\mathrm{H_2O})} \\ &\approx \frac{2.61 \; \rm mol}{2.61\; \rm mol + 11.9\; \rm mol} \approx 0.180\end{aligned}$ .

How many grams C3H7OH can be made by reacting with 7.3L of CO2 at STP

Komok [63]

Answer:

6.54g of C3H7OH

Explanation:

Step 1:

Determination of the number of mole of CO2 that occupy 7.3L at stp.

This can be obtained as follow:

1 mole of a gas occupy 22.4L at stp.

Therefore, Xmol of CO2 will occupy 7.3L at stp i.e

Xmol of CO2 = 7.3/22.4

Xmol of CO2 = 0.326 mole.

Therefore, 0.326 mole of CO2 was used in the reaction.

Step 2:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

6CO2 + 8H2O —> 2C3H7OH + 9O2

Step 3:

Determination of the number of mole of C3H7OH produced from the reaction. This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

6 moles of CO2 reacted to produce 2 moles of C3H7OH.

Therefore, 0.326 mole of CO2 will react to produce = (0.326 x 2)/6 = 0.109 mole of C3H7OH.

Step 4:

Conversion of 0.109 mole of C3H7OH to grams. This is illustrated below:

Number of mole of C3H7OH = 0.109 mole.

Molar mass of C3H7OH = (12x3)+ (7x1) + 16 + 1 = 60g/mol

Mass of C3H7OH =..?

Mass = mole x molar mass

Mass of C3H7OH = 0.109 x 60

Mass of C3H7OH = 6.54g.

Therefore, 6.54g of C3H7OH is produced from the reaction.
