Answer : The incorrect option is, (d) The reactant that was the smallest given mass is the limiting reagent.

Explanation :

Limiting reagent : It is the reagent that is completely consumed in the chemical reaction when the chemical reaction is complete. No amount is left after the reaction is complete. The amount of product obtained is determined by the limiting reagent. A balanced equation is necessary to determine which reactant is limiting reagent.

Excess reagent : It is the reagent that are not completely consumed in the chemical reaction. That means the reagent is in excess amount. Some amount of the excess reagent is left over after the reaction is complete.

From this we conclude that the options, A, B and C are correct. While the option D is incorrect.

Option D is incorrect because it is not necessary the reactant that was the smallest given mass is the limiting reagent but it is judge by the number of moles present in the reaction.

Hence, the incorrect option is, (d)

Ascorbic acid (H2C6H6O6; H2Asc for this problem), known as vitamin C, is a diprotic acid (Ka1= 1.0x10–5 and Ka2= 5x10–12) found

Igoryamba

Answer:

The concentrations are :

$[HAsc^-]=0.000702 M$

$[Asc^{2-}]=5.92\times 10^{-8} M$

The pH of the solution is 3.15.

Explanation:

$H_2Asc\rightleftharpoons HAs^-+H^+$ $K_{a1}=1.0\times 10^{-5}$

Initial

c 0 0

Equilibrium

c-x x x

$K_{a1}=\frac{[HAs^-][H^+]}{[H_2Asc]}$

$1.0\times 10^{-5}=\frac{x\times x}{(c-x)}$

$1.0\times 10^{-5}=\frac{x^2}{(0.050-x)}$

Solving for x:

x = 0.000702 M

$[HAsc^-]=0.000702 M$

$HAsc^-\rightleftharpoons As^{2-}+H^+$ $K_{a2}=5\times 10^{-12}$

Initially

x 0 0

At equilibrium ;

(x - y) y y

$K_{a2}=\frac{[As^{2-}][H^+]}{[HAsc^-]}$

$5\times 10^{-12}=\frac{y\times y}{(x-y)}$

$5\times 10^{-12}=\frac{y^2}{(x-y)}$

Putting value of x = 0.000702 M

$5\times 10^{-12}=\frac{y^2}{(0.000702 -y)}$

$y=5.92\times 10^{-8} M$

$[Asc^{2-}]=5.92\times 10^{-8} M$

Total concentration of $[H^+]=x+y=0.000702 M+5.92\times 10^{-8} M=7.0206\times 10^{-4} M$

The pH of the solution :

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

$pH=-\log[7.0206\times 10^{-4} M}=3.15$

An electrochemical cell is constructed using two half-cells: Al(s) in Al(NO2)3(aq) and Cu(s) in Cu(NO3)2(aq). The two half cells

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Cu(s) in Cu(NO₃)₂(aq)

Explanation:

The standard reduction potential (E°) is the energy necessary to reduce the atom in a redox reaction. When an atom reduces it gains electrons from other than oxides. As higher is E°, easily it will reduce. The substance that reduces is at the cathode of a cell, where the electrons go to, and the other that oxides are at the anode of the cell.

The standard reduction potentials from Al(s) and Cu(s) are, respectively, -1.66V and +0.15V, so the half-cell of Cu(s) in Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) is the cathode.

What factor affects both kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy?

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of an object is also measured in joules. Anything that is moving has kinetic energy, but various factors affect how much kinetic energy an object has. The first factor is speed. If two identical objects are moving at different speeds, the faster object has more kinetic energy. In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. The same amount of work is done by the body when decelerating from its current speed to a state of rest.

Barium sulfate is made by the following reaction.

ipn [44]

Answer:

%age Yield = 96 %

Explanation:

The balance chemical equation for given double replacement reaction is,

Ba(NO₃)₂ + Na₂SO₄ → BaSO₄ + 2 NaNO₃

Step 1: Calculate moles of Ba(NO₃)₂:

Moles = Mass / M.Mass

Moles = 75.1 g / 261.33 g/mol

Moles = 0.2873 moles of Ba(NO₃)₂

Step 2: Find out moles of BaSO₄ formed:

According to balance chemical equation,

1 mole of Ba(NO₃)₂ produced = 1 mole of BaSO₄

So,

0.2873 moles of Ba(NO₃)₂ will produce = X moles of BaSO₄

Solving for X,

X = 0.2873 mol × 1 mol / 1 mol

X = 0.2873 moles of BaSO₄

Step 3: Calculate Theoretical Mass of BaSO₄:

Mass = Moles × M.Mass

Mass = 0.2873 mol × 233.38 g/mol

Mass = 67.07 g of BaSO₄

Step 4: Calculate %age Yield as:

Theoretical Yield = 67.07 g

Actual Yield = 64.4 g

%age Yield = ???

Formula Used:

%age Yield = (Actual Yield ÷ Theoretical Yield) × 100

Putting Values,

%age Yield = (64.4 g ÷ 67.07 g) × 100

%age Yield = 96.01 % ≈ 96 %
