Answer:

1

Explanation:

Firstly we need to know the chemical formula of hypochlorous acid. This is HOCl.

The ionization equation is as follows:

HOCl ⇌ ClO− + H

This means in every one mole of the acid, exactly one mole of hydrogen ions is produced. This also means that there is exactly 0.1M of H+ in 0.1M of the acid.

We now go on to calculate the pH of the acid solution. By definition, the pH is the negative logarithm to base 10 of the hydrogen ion concentration of the acid.

Mathematically: pH = -log[H+]

Now we know that [H+] = 0.1M

pH = -log[0.1]

pH = 1

The pH of 0.1M hypochlorous acid is 1

How many grams of carbon monoxide are needed to react with an excess of iron (III) oxide to produce 198.5 grams of iron? Fe2O3(s

erastova [34]

Answer : The grams of carbon monoxide needed are 148.89 g

Solution : Given,

Mass of iron, Fe = 198.5 g

Molar mass of iron, Fe = 56 g/mole

Molar mass of carbon monoxide, CO = 28 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of iron, Fe.

$\text{ Moles of Fe}=\frac{\text{ Mass of Fe}}{\text{ Molar mass of Fe}}=\frac{198.5g}{56g/mole}=3.545moles$

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$Fe_2O_3(s)+3CO(g)\rightarrow 3CO_2(g)+2Fe(s)$

From the balanced reaction, we conclude that

2 moles of iron produces from the 3 moles of carbon monoxide

3.545 moles of iron produces from the $\frac{3}{2}\times 3.545=5.3175$ moles of carbon monoxide

Now we have to calculate the mass of carbon monoxide, CO.

$\text{ Mass of CO}=\text{ Moles of CO}\times \text{ Molar mass of CO}$

$\text{ Mass of CO}=(5.3175moles)\times (28g/mole)=148.89g$

Therefore, the grams of carbon monoxide needed are 148.89 g
