Acids and bases are fairly important for the fact that they are very essential to the human body. As well as they balance the Ph levels in our body. You can use acids and bases to nurtralize eachother aswell

When active metals such as magnesium are immersed in acid solution, hydrogen gas is evolved. Calculate the volume of H2(g) at 30

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The volume of H₂ (g) obtained is 22.4L

Explanation:

First of all, think the reaction:

2HCl (aq) + Zn (s) → ZnCl₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

You have to add a 2, in the HCl to get ballanced.

Now we should know how many moles of each reactant, do we have.

Volume . Molarity = moles

Notice that volume is in mL, so I must convert to L.

275 mL = 0.275L

0.275L . 0.725mol/L = 0.2 moles of HCl

Molar mass of Zn: 65.41 g/m

50 g / 65.41 g/m = 0.764 moles

Ratio between reactants is 2:1, so I need the double of moles of HCl to react, and a half moles of Zn to react.

My limiting reactant is the HCl, for 0.764 moles of Zinc, I need 1.528 (0.764 .2) of HCl, and I only have 0.2 moles.

Ratio between HCl and H₂ is 1:1, so 0.2 HCl make 0.2 moles of gas

Now apply the Ideal Gas Law, to find out the volume

P. V = n . R . T

2 atm . V = 0.2 mol . 0.08206L atm/K mol . 273K

V = (0.2 mol . 0.08206L atm/K mol . 273K ) / 2 atm

V = 2.24 L

Draw one of the stereoisomers of the product formed when benzaldehyde (c6h5cho) is treated with ph3p═chcooch3.

8_murik_8 [283]

This reaction is known as Wittig Reaction. A powerful reaction for the synthesis of Alkene. In question the starting materials are aldehyde and a Phosphorous Ylide. Ylide when reacted with aldehyde produces a four membered ring which on rearrangement gives Alkene and triphenylphosphine oxide. Phosphorous having great affinity toward the oxygen is the driving force of this rearrangement. The reaction along with product (highlighted blue) is as follow,
