Using the ideal gas law equation, we can find the number of H₂ moles produced.
PV = nRT
Where P - pressure - 0.811 atm x 101 325 Pa/atm = 82 175 Pa
V - volume - 58.0 x 10⁻³ m³
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature - 32 °C + 273 = 305 K
substituting these values in the equation,
82 175 Pa x 58.0 x 10⁻³ m³ = n x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 305 K
n = 1.88 mol 

The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows;
CaH₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) --> Ca(OH)₂(aq) + 2H₂(g)
stoichiometry of CaH₂ to H₂ is 1:2
When 1.88 mol of H₂ is formed , number of CaH₂ moles reacted = 1.88/2 mol
therefore number of CaH₂ moles reacted = 0.94 mol
Mass of CaH₂ reacted - 0.94 mol x 42 g/mol  = 39.48 g of CaH₂ are needed

A scientist observes that the electrical resistance of a superconducting material drops to zero when the material is cooled to v
k0ka [10]

Answer:

The scientist is observing an intensive property of a superconductor.

Explanation:

An intensive property is a bulk property of matter. This means that an intensive property does not depend on the amount of substance present in the material under study. Typical examples of intensive properties include; conductivity, resistivity, density, hardness, etc.

An extensive property is a property that depends on the amount of substance present in a sample. Extensive properties depend on the quantity of matter present in the sample under study. Examples of extensive properties include, mass and volume.

Resistance of a superconducting material has nothing to do with the amount of the material present hence it is an intensive property of the superconductor.

What is the molarity of a solution containing 12.0 g of NaOH in 250.0 mL of solution?
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

1.196 M NaOH

Explanation:

Molarity = moles/Volume (L)

moles NaOH = mass NaOH/MM NaOH = 12/40.01 = 0.299 moles NaOH

Volume solution = 250 mL = 0.250L

M = 0.299/0.250=1.196 M NaOH

When a cube of manganese oxide was added to a solution of hydrogen peroxide, water and oxygen were produced. Manganese oxide was
FromTheMoon [43]

Smashing the cube into pieces

Explanation:

Smashing the cube into pieces will most likely increase the reaction rate between the manganese oxide and hydrogen peroxide.

The rate of a chemical reaction is a measure of the speed of a chemical reaction.

Some factors that affects the rate of chemical reaction are:

  1. Nature of the reactants
  2. Concentration of the reactants or pressure if gases.
  3. Temperature
  4. Presence of a catalyst.
  5. Sunlight(some reactions are light catalyzed)
  • The nature of reactants implies the physical state of matter, bond type or surface area exposed of reacting species.
  • The surface area exposed is directly proportional to the reaction rate.
  • Breaking the cubes into smaller pieces exposes more surface area to the chemical action and the reaction rate increases.
