Answer:

Products are stearate anion and water.

Explanation:

Stearic acid is a 18-carbon chain molecule containing -COOH group. IUPAC name of stearic acid is octadecanoic acid.

Molecular formula of stearic acid is $C_{17}H_{35}CO_{2}H$ .

When $OH^{-}$ is added into stearic acid, $OH^{-}$ removes a proton ( $H^{+}$ ) from acidic -COOH group and forms stearate anion and water as products.

The balanced acid-base reaction is given as:

$C_{17}H_{35}CO_{2}H+OH^{-}\rightleftharpoons C_{17}H_{35}CO_{2}^{-}+H_{2}O$

Structure of products are given below.

A 10.0-g sample of sodium chloride was placed in 10.0 g of water. If 3.85 g of Cl2 was obtained, what was the percent yield of C

suter [353]

Answer:

63.53% yield

Explanation:

The balanced equation for this reaction is 2NaCl + H2O -> 2NaOH +Cl2

First we must find the limiting reactant

From NaCl we can only produce 6.06 grams of Cl2 in <u>theory</u>

From H20 we can only produce 38.995 grams in theory

so we know NaCl is the limiting

% yield is (Actual/Theoretical) x100 so

(3.85/6.06)x100= 63.53% yield

What are the basics of chemistry

Novay_Z [31]

In studying chemistry, one should learn how to read the periodic table and periodic trends in the table.. Of course, you should also know the abbreviations of each element in it so that you can identify what element is in chemical structures. Memorizing and knowing it by heart is the best way. You should also study what we call chemical nomenclature which is naming combinations of elements. Elements when combined may form ionic compounds, bonds or acids. Knowing what element reacts with another will also be necessary that's why the concept of chemical reactions must be further studied.

. How many grams of NaOH would you need to make 450 mL of a 0.250 M NaOH solution

Stella [2.4K]

You have molarity and you have volume. Use the formula :
Molarity(M)= Moles(N)/Liter(L) to get the solution.
450 ml= .450 L
.250 = N/.450
N=.1125 moles of NaOH.
And since you know the moles, use the molar mass to figure out the grams.
<span> (40g/mol NaOH) x (.1125 mol) =
4.5g of NaOH.
</span>
Hope it helps. Good luck on chemistry.

Assume the pH of household bleach is 12. What is the hydronium ion concentration in household bleach? What is it hydroxide ion c

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

[H3O+] = 1.0*10^-12 M

[OH-] = 0.01 M

Explanation:

We can use the following equation to find the hydronium ion concentration. Plug in the pH and solve for H3O+.

pH = -log[H3O+]

Now, to find the hydroxide ion concentration we will use the two following equations.

14 = pH + pOH

pOH = -log[OH-]

14 = 12 + pOH

pOH = 2

2 = -log[OH-]

A 3.82 g piece of limestone contains 2.62 g of CaCO3

Kobotan [32]

Considering the definition of percentage by mass, the mass percentage of CaCO₃ is 68.59%.

<h3>What is mass percentage</h3>

The percentage by mass expresses the concentration and indicates the amount of mass of solute present in 100 grams of solution.

In other words, the percentage by mass of a component of the solution is defined as the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the solution, expressed as a percentage.

The percentage by mass is calculated as the mass of the solute divided by the mass of the solution, the result of which is multiplied by 100 to give a percentage. This is:

$mass percentage=\frac{mass of solute}{mass of solution}x100$
