2 answers:

7 0

A) 2NaOH -> 2Na + O2 + H2
is not correct since Na is unstable

B) 2NaOH -> 2Na + H2O + 1/2O2
is not correct since Na is unstable

C) 2NaOH -> Na2O + H2O
is correct since N2O is stable

D) 2NaOH -> 2Na + H2O2
is not correct since Na is unstable

Answer: The correct statement is only reaction C is correct.

Explanation:

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction in which one large compound breaks down into smaller compounds.

NaOH is a base known as sodium hydroxide. The decomposition reaction for sodium hydroxide follow the equation:

$2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2O+H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of sodium hydroxide decomposes into 1 mole of sodium oxide and 1 mole of water.

Hence, the correct statement is only reaction C is correct.

A chemical reaction takes place inside a flask submerged in a water bath. The water bath contains 8.10kg of water at 33.9 degree

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The new temperature of the water bath 32.0°C.

Explanation:

Mass of water in water bath ,m= 8.10 kg = 8100 g ( 1kg = 1000g)

Initial temperature of the water = $T_1=33.9^oC=33.9+273K=306.9 K$

Final temperature of the water = $T_2$

Specific heat capacity of water under these conditions = c = 4.18 J/gK

Amount of energy lost by water = -Q = -69.0 kJ = -69.0 × 1000 J

( 1kJ=1000 J)

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_2-T_1)$

$-69.0\times 1000 J=8100 g\times 4.18 J/g K\times (T_2-306.9 K)$

$-69,000.0 J=8100 g\times 4.18 J/g K\times (T_2-306.9 K)$

$T_2=304.86 K=304.86 -273^oC=31.86^oC\approx 32.0^oC$

The new temperature of the water bath 32.0°C.

How many grams of material is lost in the aqueous phase if two extractions are carried out on 100 mL of a 5% (m/v) aqueous solut

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

4.94g of material

Explanation:

Partition coefficient (Kp) of a substance is defined as the ratio between concentration of organic solution and aqueous solution, that is:

Kp = 8 = Concentration in Ethyl acetate / Concentration in water

100mL of a 5% solution contains 5g of material in 100mL of water. Thus:

8 = X / 100mL / (5g-X) / 100mL

Where X is the amount of material in grams that comes to the organic phase.

8 = X / 100mL / (5g-X) / 100mL

8 = 100X / (500-100X)

4000 - 800X = 100X

4000 = 900X

4.44g = X

Thus, in the first extraction you will lost 4.44g of material from the aqueous phase.

And will remain 5g-4.44g = 0.56g.

In the second extraction:

8 = X / 100mL / (0.56g-X) / 100mL

8 = 100X / (56-100X)

448 - 800X = 100X

448 = 900X

0.50g = X

In the second extraction, you will extract 0.50g of material

Thus, after the two extraction you will lost:

4.44g + 0.50g = 4.94g of material
