Answer:

A) 3.17 g of Zn

Explanation:

Let's consider the reduction of Zn(II) that occurs in an electrolysis bath.

Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻ → Zn(s)

We can establish the following relations:

  • 1 min = 60 s
  • 1 A = 1 C/s
  • The charge of 1 mole of electrons is 96,468 C (Faraday's constant).
  • When 2 moles of electrons circulate, 1 mole of Zn is deposited.
  • The molar mass of Zn is 65.38 g/mol

The mass of Zn deposited under these conditions is:

24min \times \frac{60s}{1min} \times \frac{6.5C}{s} \times \frac{1mol\ e^{-} }{96,468C} \times \frac{1molZn}{2mol\ e^{-}}  \times \frac{65.38g}{1molZn} = 3.17 g

Calculate the enthalpy of the formation of butane, C4H10, using the balanced chemical equation and the standard value below:
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

+125.4 KJmol-1

Explanation:

∆H C4H10(g) = -2877.6kJ/mol

∆H C(s)=-393.5kJ/mol

∆H H2(g) = -285.8

∆H reaction= ∆Hproducts - ∆H reactants

∆H reaction= (-2877.6kJ/mol) - [4(-393.5kJ/mol) +5(-285.8)]

∆H reaction= +125.4 KJmol-1

Is this equation completely balanced? 2C8H8 + 25O2 8CO2 + 18H2O No, because the number of carbon, hydrogen & oxygen atoms on
Sergio039 [100]
<span>So to make it clear let's break the equation down species by species and assess the number of each species on bothe sides of the equation:
                   2C</span>₈H₈  +  25O₂   →   8CO₂ +  18H₂<span>O
LHS:  C - 16                                           RHS:  C - 8
          H - 16                                                     H - 36
          O - 50                                                    O - 34

Thus based on that it is evident that the equation is not quite balanced.  This therefore means a "</span><span>No, because the number of carbon, hydrogen & oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation are not equal."

Calculate the atomic mass of nitrogen if the two common isotopes of
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Atomic mass of nitrogen = 14.0067 amu.

Explanation:

Isotopes can be defined as two or more forms of a chemical element that are made up of equal numbers of protons and electrons but different numbers of neutrons.

Generally, the isotopes of a chemical element have the same chemical properties because of their atomic number but different physical properties due to their atomic weight (mass number).

The two isotopes of nitrogen are nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15.

Given the following data;

Relative abundance of N-14 = 99.63%

Atomic mass of N-14 = 14.003

Relative abundance of N-15 = 0.37%

Atomic mass of N-15 = 15.000

The atomic mass is;

14.003 × (99.63/100) + 15.000 × (0.37/100)

Atomic mass = 14.003 × (0.9963) + 15.000 × (0.0037)

Atomic mass = 13.9512 + 0.0555

Atomic mass = 14.0067 amu.

<em>Therefore, the atomic mass of nitrogen is 14.0067 amu. </em>

How many grams of sulfuric acid is needed to neutralize 380 ml of solution with pH = 8.94
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer : The mass of sulfuric acid needed is 16.23\times 10^{-5}g.

Solution : Given,

pH = 8.94

Volume of solution = 380 ml = 380\times 10^{-3}      (1ml=10^{-3}L)

Molar mass of sulfuric acid = 98.079 g/mole

As we know,

pH+pOH=14\\pOH=14-8.94=5.06

pOH=-log[OH^-]

5.06=-log[OH^-]

[OH^-]=0.00000871=8.71\times 10^{-6}mole/L

Now we have to calculate the moles of OH^-.

Formula used : Moles=Concentration\times Volume

\text{ Moles of }[OH^-]=\text{ Concentration of }[OH^-]\times Volume\\\text{ Moles of }[OH^-]=(8.71\times 10^{-6}mole/L)\times (380\times 10^{-3}L)=3309.8\times 10^{-9}moles

For neutralization, equal number of moles of H^+ ions will neutralize same number of OH^- ions.

\text{ Moles of }[OH^-]=\text{ Moles of }[H^+]=3309.8\times 10^{-9}moles

As, H_2SO_4\rightarrow 2H^++SO^{2-}_4

From this reaction, we conclude that

2 moles of H^+ ion is given by the 1 mole of H_2SO_4

3309.8\times 10^{-9} moles of H^+ ion is given by \frac{3309.8\times 10^{-9}}{2}=1654.9\times 10^{-9} moles of H_2SO_4

Now we have to calculate the mass of sulfuric acid.

Mass of sulfuric acid = Moles of H_2SO_4 × Molar mass of sulfuric acid

Mass of sulfuric acid = (1654.9\times 10^{-9}moles)\times (98.079g/mole)=162310.94\times 10^{-9}=16.23\times 10^{-5}g

Therefore, the mass of sulfuric acid needed is 16.23\times 10^{-5}g.
