Explanation:

Generally;

Acid + Base --> Salt + Water

Mg(OH)2 (aq) + 2 HCl(aq) --> MgCl2(aq) + 2 H2O(l)

In the equation above,

Mg(OH)2 is the Base.

HCl is the acid.

MgCl2 is the salf formed.

Question 23

Schach [20]

Answer:

Option B. 0.136 g

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

2AgNO3(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) —> Ag2O(s) + 2NaNO3(aq) + H2O(l)

Next, we shall determine the masses of AgNO3 and NaOH that reacted and the mass of Ag2O produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of AgNO3 = 108 + 14 + (16x3) = 170g/mol

Mass of AgNO3 from the balanced equation = 2 x 170 = 340g

Molar mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40g/mol

Mass of NaOH from the balanced equation = 2 x 40 = 80g

Molar mass of Ag2O = (108x2) + 16 = 232g/mol

Mass of Ag2O from the balanced equation = 1 x 232 = 232g

Summary:

From the balanced equation above,

340g of AgNO3 reacted with 80g of NaOH to produce 232g of Ag2O.

Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

340g of AgNO3 reacted with 80g of NaOH.

Therefore, 0.2g of AgNO3 will react with = (0.2 x 80)/340 = 0.047g of NaOH.

From the calculations made above, only 0.047g out of 0.2g of NaOH given, reacted completely with 0.2g of AgNO3. Therefore, AgNO3 is the limiting reactant and NaOH is the excess reactant.

Now, we can calculate the mass of Ag2O produced from the reaction of 0.2g of AgNO3 and 0.2g of NaOH.

In this case, we shall use the limiting reactant because it will produce the maximum yield of Ag2O as all of it is used up in the reaction.

The limi reactant is AgNO3 and the mass of Ag2O produced can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

340g of AgNO3 reacted to produce 232g of Ag2O.

Therefore, 0.2g of AgNO3 will react to produce = (0.2 x 232)/340 = 0.136g of Ag2O.

Therefore, 0.136g of Ag2O was produced from the reaction.

Compare which element would have larger first ionization energy: an alkali metal in Period 2 or an alkali metal in Period 4?

maria [59]

Answer:

An alkali metal present in period 2 have larger first ionization energy.

Explanation:

Ionization energy:

The amount of energy required to remove the electron from the atom is called ionization energy.

Trend along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required.

Trend along group:

As we move down the group atomic radii increased with increase of atomic number. The addition of electron in next level cause the atomic radii to increased. The hold of nucleus on valance shell become weaker because of shielding of electrons thus size of atom increased.

As the size of atom increases the ionization energy from top to bottom also decreases because it becomes easier to remove the electron because of less nuclear attraction and as more electrons are added the outer electrons becomes more shielded and away from nucleus. Thus alkali metal present in period 2 have larger ionization energy because of more nuclear attraction as compared to the alkali metal present in period 4.

What mass of sucrose c12h22o11 is needed to make 300 ml of a 0.50m solution?

zepelin [54]

Use the concentration to obtain the moles. I am assuming you mean to write capital M. because little m means molality.

So, first convert the ml into Liters and then into moles, then moles to grams using the molar mass (just adding the values of each atom from the periodic table. )

Molar mass= 12 (12.0) + 22 (1.01)+ 11 (16.0)= 342 grams/mole

300 ml (1 liter/ 1000 mL) x (0.50 moles/ 1 Liter) x (342 grams/ 1 mole)= 51.3 grams
