The properties of a compound are nothing like the properties of th elements that combine to make it.

sodium chloride,NaCl, table salt, is a white cubic crystal, stable ionic compound, soluble in water
sodium is a soft metal, very reactive with water and air
chlorine is a yellow green gas that is poisonous and very reactive.

carbon dioxide, CO2, is a clear, colorless gas that puts out fires, plants use but we breath out.
carbon is a black solid, or a diamond
oxygen is a clear colorless gas that is needed for burning and breathing.

What mass of H₂ is needed to react with 8.75 g of O₂ according to the following equation: O2(g) + H2(g) → H₂O(g)?

FromTheMoon [43]

Explanation:

For reacting with 8.75 grams of oxygen, 1.08 grams of hydrogen is required.

The given balanced equation has been:

\rm O_2\;+\;2\;H_2\;\rightarrow\;H_2OO2+2H2→H2O

From the equation, 1 mole of oxygen reacts with 2 mole of hydrogen to give 1 mole of water.

The mass of oxygen has been: 8.75 g,

Moles = \rm \dfrac{weight}{molecular\;weight}molecularweightweight

Moles of oxygen = \rm \dfrac{8.75}{32}328.75

Moles of oxygen = 0.27 mol

Since,

1 mole Oxygen = 2 mole hydrogen

0.21 mol oxygen = 0.54 mol hydrogen

Mass of hydrogen = moles \times× molecular weight

Mass of hydrogen = 0.54 \times× 2

Mass of hydrogen = 1.08 grams.

Thus, for reacting with 8.75 grams of oxygen, 1.08 grams of hydrogen is required.

Which of the following equations has the correct products and is balanced correctly for a reaction between Na3PO4 and KOH?

ASHA 777 [7]

The answer is: A) Na3PO4 + 3KOH → 3NaOH + K3PO4, because K retains the same charge throughout the reaction.

This chemical reaction is double displacement reaction - cations (K⁺ and Na⁺) and anions (PO₄³⁻⁻ and OH⁻) of the two reactants switch places and form two new compounds.

Na₃PO₄ is sodium phosphate.

KOH is potassium hydroxide.

NaOH is sodium hydroxide.

K₃PO₄ is potassium phosphate.

According to the mass conservation law, there are same number of atoms on both side of balanced chemical reaction.

What is the molarity of a solution composed of 5.85 g of potassium iodide, KI, dissolved

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

0.282 M

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Solutions

Reading a Periodic Table
Using Dimensional Analysis
Molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

5.85 g KI

0.125 L

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Molar Mass of K - 39.10 g/mol

Molar Mass of I - 126.90 g/mol

Molar Mass of KI - 39.10 + 126.90 = 166 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

$5.85 \ g \ KI(\frac{1 \ mol \ KI}{166 \ g \ KI} )$ = 0.035241 mol KI

Step 4: Find Molarity

M = 0.035241 mol KI / 0.125 L

M = 0.281928

Step 5: Check

We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.

0.281928 M ≈ 0.282 M
