Freon−12 (CF2Cl2), widely used as a refrigerant and aerosol propellant, is a dangerous air pollutant. In the troposphere, it tra

ps heat 25 times as effectively as CO2, and in the stratosphere, it participates in the breakdown of ozone. Freon−12 is prepared industrially by reaction of gaseous carbon tetrachloride with hydrogen fluoride. Hydrogen chloride gas also forms. How many grams of carbon tetrachloride are required for the production of 28.5 dm3 of Freon−12 at 21°C and 1.62 atm?

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of carbon tetrachloride required is 293.8 grams.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of Freon-12 = 1.62 atm

V = Volume of Freon-12 = 28.5dm^3=28.5L     (Conversion factor:  1dm^3=1L )

T = Temperature of Freon-12 = 21^oC=[21+273]K=294K

R = Gas constant = 0.0821\text{ L. atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}

n = number of moles Freon-12 = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.62atm\times 28.5L=n\times 0.0821\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 294K\\n=\frac{1.62\times 28.5}{0.0821\times 294}=1.91mol

The chemical equation for the formation of Freon-12 follows:

CCl_4+2HF\rightarrow CF_2Cl_2+2HCl

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of Freon-12 is formed by 1 mole of carbon tetrachloride

So, 1.91 moles of Freon-12 will be formed by = \frac{1}{1}\times 1.91=1.91mol of carbon tetrachloride

To calculate the mass of carbon tetrachloride, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Molar mass of carbon tetrachloride = 153.82 g/mol

Moles of carbon tetrachloride = 1.91 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.91mol=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon tetrachloride}}{153.82g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon tetrachloride}=(1.91mol\times 153.82g/mol)=293.8g

Hence, the mass of carbon tetrachloride required is 293.8 grams.

ELEN [110]

Answer:

MgO + H₂

Explanation:

The products of reaction is MgO  and hydrogen gas.

This is a single displacement reaction.

In this reaction, the possibility of the reaction is determined by position of the atoms on the activity series.

 Mg is higher than H on the activity series, so it is more reactive and it then displaces the hydrogen in water;

            Mg + H₂O → MgO + H₂

I need help solving this for chemistry. Don’t know where to start:/
Juli2301 [7.4K]
1 electron has charge =1.602* 10⁻¹⁹ C
1 mole of electrons have 1.602* 10⁻¹⁹*6.02*10²³C = 9.64*10⁴ C/1mol

One ion Co²⁺   takes 2e⁻ to become Co⁰.
1 mol of Co²⁺  ions take 2 mole of e⁻ to become Co⁰, so
 0.30 mol Co²⁺  ions take mole of 0.60 mol e⁻ to become Co⁰

9.64*10⁴(C/1mol) *0.60 (mol)≈ 5.8 *10⁴ Coulombs.
Correct answer is C
