If 45.8 grams of MgO are dissolved in 205 grams of water, what is the concentration of the solution in percent by mass

Although it's true that MgO is only very slightly soluble in water, you can consider the mixture a conventional solution for the purposes of this question. The % mass is the mass of MgO divided by the mass of the entire solution:

45.8 / (45.8 + 205) * 100 = <span>18.3%</span>

Estimate the enthalpy change for the combustion of one mole of acetylene, C2H2, to form carbon dioxide and water vapor. BE(C?H)
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

ΔH rxn =  -1010 kJ/molC₂H₂

Explanation:

To obtain the enthalpy change for a reaction from bond energies what we do is to make an inventory of the bonds broken and formed for the balanced chemical reaction:

C₂H₂ + 5/2O₂   ⇒   2CO₂ + H₂O

Bond Broken                                    Bonds Formed

2 C-H + 1 C≡C + 5/2 O=O                4C=O + 2 H-O

Enthalpy bonds broken:

2 mol (456 kJ/mol)+ 1 mol (962 kJ/mol) + 5/2 mol (499 kJ/mol)  =  3121.5 kJ

Enthalpy bond formed:

4 mol (802 kJ/mol) + 2 mol (462 kJ/mol) = 4132.0 kJ

ΔH rxn = H broken - H formed =  3121.5 kJ - 4132.0 kJ = - 1010  kJ (per mol C₂H₂ )

When 500.0 g of water is decomposed by electrolysis and the yield of hydrogen is only 75.3%, how much hydrogen chloride can be m
Evgen [1.6K]

The amount of hydrogen chloride that can be made is 1064 g

Why?

The two reactions are:

2H₂O → 2H₂ + O₂ 75.3 % yield

H₂ + Cl₂ → 2HCl 69.8% yield

We have to apply a big conversion factor to go from grams of water (The limiting reactant), to grams of HCl, the final product. We have to be very careful with the coefficients and percentage yields!

500.0gH_2O*\frac{1moleH_2O}{18.01 gH_2O}*\frac{2 moles H_2}{2 moles H_2O}*\frac{2.015g H_2}{1 mole H_2}*\frac{75.3 actual g}{100 theoretical g}=42.12 g H_2

42.12H_2*\frac{1 mole H_2}{2.015gH_2}*\frac{2 moles HCl}{1 mole H_2}*\frac{36.46g}{1 mole HCl}*\frac{69.8 actualg}{100 theoreticalg} =1064gHCl

Have a nice day!

Can someone balance this chemical equation for me please : )
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

Tried out 1, but couldn't get whole numbers on the right side then, so went up to 2, worked

all four numbrrs: 2, 7, 4, 6

The 7 for oxygen got adjusted in the last step of the thinking, because it's the simplest to adjust.

since there are different prime numbers (or rather numbers that don't share prime factors) in the set, the numbers can't be revived by the same number and still give whole numbers as results (they can't be smaller)
