Chemistry

4 0

Answer:

39.3%

Explanation:

CaF2 + H2SO4 --> CaSO4 + 2HF

We must first determine the limiting reactant, the limiting reactant is the reactant that yields the least number of moles of products. The question explicitly says that H2SO4 is in excess so CaF2 is the limiting reactant hence:

For CaF2;

Number of moles reacted= mass/molar mass

Molar mass of CaF2= 78.07 g/mol

Number of moles reacted= 11g/78.07 g/mol = 0.14 moles of Calcium flouride

Since 1 mole of calcium fluoride yields two moles of 2 moles hydrogen fluoride

0.14 moles of calcium fluoride will yield 0.14×2= 0.28 moles of hydrogen fluoride

Mass of hydrogen fluoride formed (theoretical yield) = number of moles× molar mass

Molar mass of hydrogen fluoride= 20.01 g/mol

Mass of HF= 0.28 moles × 20.01 g/mol= 5.6 g ( theoretical yield of HF)

Actual yield of HF was given in the question as 2.2g

% yield of HF= actual yield/ theoretical yield ×100

%yield of HF= 2.2/5.6 ×100

% yield of HF= 39.3%

How does the amount of space between particles differ in the ballon and helium cylinder
Ivanshal [37]
In a balloon there is a low pressure within the balloon. This means that the particles are more spaced out. Wheras in the cylinder they are under high pressure, meaning that the particles are much closer together!

Wind : swirls :: chemical bond : ___________.
drek231 [11]
Options are as follow,

1)  Flashes
2)  Skips
3)  Stretches
<span>4)  Jumps
</span>
Answer:
            Option-3 (stretches) is the correct answer.

Explanation:
                    The best analogy which suits a chemical bond is the stretching of chemical bonds. Remaining verbs doesn't explain the property of chemical bond. For example, the chemical bonds did not flashes, neither they skip or jump.
                    The chemical bonds can stretch and bend. As predicted from IR spectroscopy, different bonds can stretch and bend at different energies. The stretching of bonds require more energy while, bending of bonds require less energy.

which of the following best helps explain why an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction?
NeTakaya

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

Which of the following best helps explain why an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction?

(a)   at higher temperatures, high-energy collisions happen less frequently.

(b)  at low temperatures, low-energy collisions happen more frequently.

(c)   at higher temperatures, less-energy collisions happen less frequently.

(d)  at higher temperatures, high-energy collisions happen more frequently

Explanation:

When we increase the temperature of a chemical reaction then molecules of the reactant species tend to gain kinetic energy. As a result, they come into motion which leads to more number of collisions within the molecules.

Therefore, chemical reaction will take less amount of time in order to reach its end point. This means that there will occur an increase in rate of reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement at higher temperatures, high-energy collisions happen more frequently, best explains why an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction.

How many moles are in 715.11 grams of Ca(C2H302)2?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

4.52 mol

Explanation:

We do grams/Molar Mass to find the number of moles. The grams are given but the molar mass, you have to add all masses of the elements up by refering to a periodic table, and you should get that the compound has a mass of 158.168. Do 715.11 dived by that and you get the answer above.
