Answer:

2.29 g of N2

Explanation:

We have to start with the <u>chemical reaction</u>:

NaN_3~->~Na~+~N_2

The next step is to <u>balance the reaction</u>:

2NaN_3~->~2Na~+~3N_2

We can continue with the <u>mol calculation</u> using the molar mass of

NaN_3 (65 g/mol), so:

3.55~g~NaN_3\frac{1~mol~NaN_3}{65~g~NaN_3}=0.054~mol~NaN_3

Now, with the<u> molar ratio</u> between NaN_3  and N_2  we can <u>calculate the moles</u> of N_2  (2:3), so:

0.054~mol~NaN_3\frac{3~mol~N_2}{2~mol~NaN_3}=0.0819~mol~N_2

With the molar mass of N_2 we can <u>calculate the grams</u>:

0.0819~mol~N_2=\frac{1~mol~N_2}{28~g~N_2}=2.29~g~N_2

I hope it helps!

Answer:

Ca(OH)2 will not precipitate because Q<Ksp

Explanation:

Ksp for Ca(OH)2 has already been stated in the question as 8.0 x 10-8mol2dm-6

The value of the reaction quotient depends heavily on the concentration of the reactants. As the initial concentration of the calcium carbide decreases considerably, the reaction quotient decreases until Q<Ksp hence the Ca(OH)2 will not precipitate from solution.

The reaction equation is:

CaC₂(s) + H₂O ⇒ Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂

From

Ca(OH)2= Ca2+ + 2OH-

Concentration of solution= 0.064×1/64= 1×10-3

Since [Ca2+] = 1×10-3

[OH-]= (2×10-3)^2= 4×10^-6

Hence Q= 4×10^-9

This is less than the Ksp hence the answer.

3. Dorji was provided with four colourless solutions. He was asked to
givi [52]

Answer:

First, we can test Solution 1. We know that Sodium Hydroxide is a strong base. If we test acids on blue litmus paper, they will turn red. If we test bases on red litmus paper, they will turn blue.  So, you can test all the of the solutions- water, sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid with blue and red litmus paper. HCl, Hydrochloric acid is an acid, so it will turn blue litmus paper red. It will not turn red litmus blue. The acids will turn blue litmus paper red. The bases will turn red litmus paper blue. Only water is a neutral liquid, which will not turn blue litmus paper red or red litmus paper blue. It will not change the colour of it. Thus, if you test all the solutions with blue and red litmus paper, you will know which solution is water.  Water is the only one which is neutral. It is the only solution which cannot change the colour of any litmus paper. Thus, you can identify it very easily.

What’s the fastest way to balance chemical equations
Anon25 [30]

Hey there!

The best way to balance chemical equations is to first start by balancing polyatomic ions such as OH and SO₄.

Next, balance other elements, but save elements that are by themselves for last, such as H₂ or Fe. Once you balance everything else you can do the ones by themselves, it's much easier.

Hope this helps!
