Answer:

Option b, The change in free energy of the reaction (ΔG)

Explanation:

Gibbs free energy is a measure of amount of usable energy in the system.

It is related with enthalpy (H), entropy (S) and temprature (T) as:

G = H - TS

The Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) provide spontaneity of a chemical reaction.

If ΔG is negative, then reaction is spontaneous that means reaction is moving towards forward direction.

If ΔG is positive, then reaction is non-spontaneous that means reaction is moving in backward direction.

If ΔG is zero, then reaction is at equilibrium.

Change in enthalpy only gives informtion about heat involed in a chemical reaction, it does not give information about direction of the reaction.

So, among the given options, option b is correct.

For all of the following questions 20.00 mL of 0.200 M HBr is titrated with 0.200 M KOH.

HACTEHA [7]

Answer :

The concentration of $H^+$ before any titrant added to our starting material is 0.200 M.

The pH based on this $H^+$ ion concentration is 0.698

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the concentration of $H^+$ before any titrant is added to our starting material.

As we are given:

Concentration of HBr = 0.200 M

As we know that the HBr is a strong acid that dissociates complete to give hydrogen ion $H^+$ and bromide ion $Br^-$ .

As, 1 M of HBr dissociates to give 1 M of $H^+$

So, 0.200 M of HBr dissociates to give 0.200 M of $H^+$

Thus, the concentration of $H^+$ before any titrant added to our starting material is 0.200 M.

Now we have to calculate the pH based on this $H^+$ ion concentration.

pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$pH=-\log (0.200)$

$pH=0.698$

Thus, the pH based on this $H^+$ ion concentration is 0.698

If 155 grams of potassium (K) reacts with 122 grams of potassium nitrate (KNO3), what is the limiting reagent?

GenaCL600 [577]

K:

m=155g
M=39g/mol

n = 155g / 39g/mol ≈ 3,97mol

KNO₃:

m=122g
M=101g/mol

n = 122g/101g/mol = 1,21mol

2K + 10KNO₃ ⇒ 6K₂O + N₂
2mol : 10mol
3,97mol : 1,21mol
limiting reagent

KNO₃ is limiting reagent

Gold has a density of 1,200 lb./ft. What is the density of gold in g/em? For conversion factors use I lb. 453.6 g, and l inch-2.

Jlenok [28]

<u>Answer:</u> The density of gold in $g/cm^3$ is $19.22g/cm^3$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Density is defined as the ratio of mass of the object and volume of the object. Mathematically,

$\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass of the object}}{\text{Volume of the object}}$

We are given:

Density of gold = $1200lb/ft^3$

Using conversion factors:

1 lb = 453.6 g

1 feet = 12 inches

1 inch = 2.54 cm

Converting given quantity into $g/cm^3$ , we get:

$\Rightarrow (\frac{1200lb}{ft^3})\times (\frac{453.6g}{1lb})\times (\frac{1ft}{12inch})^3\times (\frac{1inch}{2.54cm})^3\\\\\Rightarrow 19.22g/cm^3$

Hence, the density of gold in $g/cm^3$ is $19.22g/cm^3$
