Answer:

HCl is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (1.37 moles)

Option D is correct

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of Zinc (Zn) = 50.0 grams

Mass of Hydrogen chloride (HCl) = 50.0 grams

atomic mass Zn = 65.38 g/mol

Molar mass HCl = 36.46 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2

Step 3: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles Zn = 50.0 grams / 65.38 g/mol

Moles Zn = 0.764 moles

Moles HCl = 50.0 grams / 36.46 g/mol

Moles HCl = 1.37 moles

Step 4: Calculate limiting reactant

For 1 mol Zn we need 2 moles HCl to produce 1 mol ZnCl2 and 1 mol H2

HCl is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (1.37 moles)

Zn is in excess. There will react 1.37/2 = 0.685 moles

There will remain 0.764 -0.685 = 0.079 moles

What is the ph at the equivalence point if it requires 32.5 mL of 0.15 M KOH to completely titrate 20 mL of a solution of propan

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

pH = 8.92

Explanation:

To solve this question we must know that the reaction of KOH with HC3H5O2 is:

KOH + HC3H5O2 → H2O + KC3H5O2

At equivalence point, all propanoic acid reacts to produce KC3H5O2.

This KC3H5O2 = C3H5O2⁻ is in equilibrium in water as follows:

C3H5O2⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → OH⁻(aq) + HC3H5O2(aq)

Where Kb = Kw / ka = 1x10⁻¹⁴/ 1.34x10⁻⁵ = 7.46x10⁻¹⁰

is defined as:

Kb = 7.46x10⁻¹⁰ = [OH⁻] [HC3H5O2] / [C3H5O2⁻]

As both [OH⁻] [HC3H5O2] ions comes from the same equilibrium,

[OH⁻] = [HC3H5O2] = X

[C3H5O2⁻] is:

Moles KOH = Moles C3H5O2⁻:

0.0325L * (0.15mol / L) = 0.004875 moles

In 32.5 + 20mL = 52.5mL = 0.0525L:

0.004875 moles / 0.0525L = 0.09286M.

Replacing:

7.46x10⁻¹⁰ = [X] [X] / [0.09286M]

6.927x10⁻¹¹ = X²

X = 8.323x10⁻⁶M = [OH-]

As pOH = -log [OH-]

pOH = 5.08

pH = 14 -pOH

Which of the following types of electromagnetic radiation have higher frequencies than visible light and which have shorter freq

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Higher frequency than visible light - Ultraviolet light, X-rays, and Gamma rays

Lower frequency than visible light - Infrared radiation, microwaves, and Radio waves

Explanation:

The frequencies of electromagnetic radiations vary according to their wavelengths. The relationship between the frequency and wavelength of the waves is expressed such that:

λ = c/f, where λ = wavelength, c = speed of light, and f = frequency.

Thus, there is an inverse relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of electromagnetic waves.

The order of the electromagnetic waves based on their frequency from the lowest to the highest is radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma-rays

Hence, electromagnetic waves with higher frequencies than visible light include ultraviolet light, X-rays, and Gamma rays while those with lower frequencies include Infrared radiation, microwaves, and Radio waves.
