Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An acid-base indicator is an indicator which changes color according to the pH of solution in which it is placed.

For example, phenolphthalein is an acid-base indicator.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, an acid–base indicator react by changing color when placed in an acidic solution, is the correct option.

How many liters of gas will be in the closed reaction flask when 36.0L of ethane (C2H6) is allowed to react with 105.0L of oxyge

Ivan

Answer:- Volume of the gas in the flask after the reaction is 156.0 L.

Solution:- The balanced equation for the combustion of ethane is:

$2C_2H_6(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)$

From the balanced equation, ethane and oxygen react in 2:7 mol ratio or 2:7 volume ratio as we are assuming ideal behavior.

Let's see if any one of them is limiting by calculating the required volume of one for the other. Let's say we calculate required volume of oxygen for given 36.0 L of ethane as:

$36.0LC_2H_6(\frac{7LO_2}{2LC_2H_6})$

= 126 L $O_2$

126 L of oxygen are required to react completely with 36.0 L of ethane but only 105.0 L of oxygen are available, It means oxygen is limiting reactant.

let's calculate the volumes of each product gas formed for 105.0 L of oxygen as:

$105.0LO_2(\frac{4LCO_2}{7L O_2})$

= 60.0 L $CO_2$

Similarly, let's calculate the volume of water vapors formed:

$105.0L O_2(\frac{6L H_2O}{7L O_2})$

= 90.0 L $H_2O$

Since ethane is present in excess, the remaining volume of it would also be present in the flask.

Let's first calculate how many liters of it were used to react with 105.0 L of oxygen and then subtract them from given volume of ethane to know it's remaining volume:

$105.0LO_2(\frac{2LC_2H_6}{7LO_2})$

= 30.0 L $C_2H_6$

Excess volume of ethane = 36.0 L - 30.0 L = 6.0 L

Total volume of gas in the flask after reaction = 6.0 L + 60.0 L + 90.0 L = 156.0 L

Hence. the answer is 156.0 L.

what is the balanced equation of magnesium carbonate decomposes on heating to form magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

ExplaAt high temperatures MgCO3 decomposes to magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide. This process is important in the production of magnesium oxide. This process is called calcining: MgCO3 → MgO + CO2 (ΔH = +118 kJ/mol)

The energy transferred between samples of matter because of a difference in their temperatures is called a. heat. b. thermochemi

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The energy transferred between samples of matter because of a difference in their temperatures is called a. heat.

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics establishes that when two bodies with different temperatures are put in contact they will find thermic equilibrium to a final temperature by transferring heat. Thus the correct answer is (a).

Thermochemistry is the study of the transformations of heat energy on the chemical reactions. Chemical kinetics is the study of the rate of chemical reactions. And temperature is the measure of the heat.
