Answer: 10.2 grams

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is :

CaH_2(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow Ca(OH)_2(aq)+2H_2(g)

According to the ideal gas equation:

PV=nRT

P = Pressure of the gas = 740 torr =  0.97 atm    (760torr=1atm)

V= Volume of the gas = 12.0 L

T= Temperature of the gas = 19°C = 292 K    0^0C=273K

R= Gas constant = 0.0821 atmL/K mol

n= moles of gas

n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{0.97\times 12.0}{0.0821\times 292}

n=0.48

According to stoichiometry:

2 moles of hydrogen are generated by = 1 mole of CaH_2

Thus 0.48 moles of hydrogen are generated by =\frac{1}{2}\times 0.48=0.24 moles of CaH_2

Mass of  CaH_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.24mol\times 42g/mol=10.2g

Thus 10.2 grams of CaH_2 are needed to generate 12.0 L of hydrogen gas if the pressure of hydrogen is 740. torr at 19°C

Complete the chart. (Remember to enter a "0" if necessary.) Atomic Number: 10 1s: 2s: 2p: 3s: 3p: 4s: 3d: 4p: 5s:
ASHA 777 [7]
First, we determine how many electrons can each subshell hold:
s can hold 2 electrons
p can hold 6 electrons
d can hold 10 electrons
f can hold 14 electrons

Second, we start distributing the 10 electrons on the orbitals of subshells based on the arrangement shown in the question :
1s will hold 2 electrons
2s will hold 2 electrons
2p will hold 6 electrons
All other orbitals will will hold zero electrons as the 10 were distributed among the first 2

Answer: 1s: 2
              2s: 2
              2p: 6

Calculate the heat (in calories) required to freeze 35.0 g of water.
Serggg [28]

Answer:

-2.79 × 10³ cal

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Mass of water (m): 35.0 g
  • Latent heat of fusion of water (L): -79.7 cal/g

Step 2: Calculate the heat required to freeze 35.0 g of water

We have 35.0 g of liquid water and we want to freeze it, that is, to convert it in 35.0 g of ice (solid water), at 0 °C (melting point). We can calculate the heat (Q) that must be released using the following expression.

Q = L × m

Q = -79.7 cal/g × 35.0 g

Q = -2.79 × 10³ cal
