Is it possible to start with 5g of one chemical and 10g of another chemical and make 15g of a third chemical?

Answer : No

Explanation: The chemical compounds are formed from their elements in a fixed ratio of masses, for example, in water (H2O), always Hydrogen and oxygen are combined in 1:8 by mass, i.e. with 1 g Hydrogen the Oxygen is 8 g, with 2 g Hydrogen the oxygen would be 16 g. So, there is a fixed ratio by masses.

If we were to react hydrogen with oxygen then it would again combine in 1:8 always. If we use 1 g Hydrogen with 10 g oxygen, all of the 1 g hydrogen would still react with 8 g oxygen and the third chemical formed water is 1+8 = 9 g and not 1+10 =11 g.

So, its generally not possible.

Also not all chemical reactions proceed to completion, i.e. there are always few reactant molecules left unreacted, for example the burning of candle is a chemical process where some of the lower part of wax is left behind. so, not always all of the reactants get converted to products.

Only if we have a special case where reactants react completely and you chose the masses of reactant exactly in the ratio they combine, then only the third chemica will have mass exactly equal to the sum of masses of all reactants taken at the start, like if we take hydogen 2g and oxygen 16 g then water is 2+16 = 18, because 2 will combine exactly with 16.

Hope the answer helps.

Pretend that you are the size of an atom, observing a reaction between a potassium atom and a fluorine atom. Write an account of
natka813 [3]
Potassium will loss it's electron because it have a character of electropositively therefore it's electron will transfer to flouren which will make stable and complete of it's electro configuration. Now potassium will have negative charge due to loss it's outer most electron on it's orbit and flourine will take negatively charge too because of complete it's outer most shell to be completed.(But we have to know that at first flourine was had a positive charge because of not completed of it's outer most shell)

A container of gas has a volume of 3.5 L and a pressure of 0.8 atm. Assuming the temperature remains constant, what volume of ga
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Initial volume of the gas =V_1=3.5 L

Final volume of the gas = V_2=?

Initial pressure of the gas =P_1=0.8 atm

Final volume of the gas = P_2=0.5 atm

Using Boyle's law:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

0.8 atm \times 3.5 L=0.5 atm\times V_2

V_2=5.6 L

Hence,the correct answer is option A.

After the reaction between sodium borohydride and the ketone is complete, the reaction mixture is treated with water and H2SO4 t
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

The hydrogen can be gotten from the added Acid or water during "workup".

Explanation:

Basically we can say that the reaction describe in this question is a Reduction reaction because of the chemical compound called sodium borohydride. In the reaction described above we can see that there is a Reduction of ketone to alcohol by the compound; sodium borohydride.

For the reduction Reaction to occur the C-O bond must break so as to enable the formation of O-H bond and C-H bond.

So, "the reaction mixture is treated with water and H2SO4 to produce the desired alcohol", thus, the oxygen will definitely pick up the hydrogen from H2SO4 or H2O.
