Answer: True

Explanation: A solvent is any liquid, solid or gas (etc.) that is capable of dissolving another substance, typically called a solute. The amount of solute a solvent can dissolve depends on the temperature.

Calculate the percent ionization of nitrous acid in a solution that is 0.249 M in nitrous acid. The acid dissociation constant o

sattari [20]

Answer:

4.26 %

Explanation:

There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.

Calculate the percent ionization of nitrous acid in a solution that is 0.249 M in nitrous acid. The acid dissociation constant of nitrous acid is 4.50 × 10 ⁻⁴.

Step 1: Given data

Initial concentration of the acid (Ca): 0.249 M

Acid dissociation constant (Ka): 4.50 × 10 ⁻⁴

Step 2: Write the ionization reaction for nitrous acid

HNO₂(aq) ⇒ H⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq)

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of nitrite in the equilibrium ([A⁻])

We will use the following expression.

$[A^{-} ] = \sqrt{Ca \times Ka } = \sqrt{0.249 \times 4.50 \times 10^{-4} } = 0.0106 M$

Step 4: Calculate the percent ionization of nitrous acid

We will use the following expression.

$\alpha = \frac{[A^{-} ]}{[HA]} \times 100\% = \frac{0.0106M}{0.249} \times 100\% = 4.26\%$

How can naphthalene be separated from a mixture of kbr and sand?

Dmitriy789 [7]

Put it in a beaker. Use a smaller beaker filled half way with ice and water and place in the larger one. It should be about an inch or two above the mixture. Heat over a Bunsen burner and the naphthalene will deposit on the bottom of smaller beaker.

And in this way, nephthalene be separated from the mixture of KBR and sand.

112 g of aluminum carbide react with 174 g water to produce methane and aluminum hydroxide in the reaction shown below.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer: 4.999 moles of excess reactant will be left over.

Explanation:

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is completely consumed in the reaction and limits the formation of the product.

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is left behind after the completion of the reaction.

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

Given mass of aluminium carbide = 112 g

Molar mass of aluminium carbide = 143.96 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:

$\text{Moles of aluminium carbide}=\frac{112g}{143.96g/mol}=0.778mol$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2Al_4C_3(s)+12H_2O(l)\rightarrow 3CH_4(g)+4Al(OH)_3(s)$

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium carbide reacts with 12 moles of water

So, 0.778 moles of aluminium carbide will react with = $\frac{12}{2}\times 0.778=4.668 mol$ of water

Given mass of water = 174 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:

$\text{Moles of water}=\frac{174g}{18g/mol}=9.667mol$

Moles of excess reactant (water) left = 9.667 - 4.668 = 4.999 moles

Hence, 4.999 moles of excess reactant will be left over.

92dm3 of a gas dissolved in a solvent. How many moles is this?

Paul [167]

Assuming its at r. t.p and pressure
no. of moles = 96/24=4moles
altho some books will say that its 23.7dm3/mole but that doesnt really matter because its the process that matters
