Calcium hydride reacts with water to form hydrogen gas according to the unbalanced equation below: CaH2(s) + H2O(l) --> Ca(OH

)2(aq) + H2(g) This reaction is sometimes used to inflate life rafts, weather balloons, and the like, where a simple, compact means of generating H2 is desired. How many grams of calcium hydride are needed to generate 15.0 L of hydrogen gas at 25 degrees C and 825 torr of pressure?

Answer:

28 grams CaH₂(s) is required for production of 15L H₂(g) at 25°C and 825Torr.

Explanation:

CaH₂(s) + H₂O(l) => Ca(OH)₂(s) + H₂(g)

Using ideal gas law, PV = nRT

=> moles H₂(g) = PV/RT = [(825/760)Atm](15L)/(0.08206L·Atm·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹)(298K) = 0.6659 mol H₂(g)

From stoichiometry of given equation,        

=> 0.6659 mol H₂(g) requires 0.6659 mole CaH₂(s)

Converting moles to grams, multiply by formula weight,

=> 0.6659 mole CaH₂(s) = 0.6659 mole CaH₂(s) x 42g/mole = 27.966 grams CaH₂(s) ≅ 28 grams CaH₂(s)  (2 sig. figs.)

If liquid water is exposed to normal atmospheric pressure, what needs to change in order to change its state of matter?
inn [45]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

State of a substance changes when heat is provided to a substance.

This is because when we heat water then intermoleclar forces present within its molecules tend to break down. Due to this molecules start to move away from each other.

As a result, kinetic energy of molecules increases and they collide rapidly. Hence, solid state of water changes into liquid state and upon excessive heating liquid state of water changes into vapor state.

Thus, we conclude that temperature of water needs to change in order to change its state of matter.
