Answer:

(a) cesium bromide (CsBr): 9.15 grams

(b) calcium sulfate (CaSO4): 5.85 grams

(d) lithium dichromate (Li2Cr2O7): 9.88 grams

(e) potassium oxalate (K2C2O4): 7.15 grams

Explanation:

(a) cesium bromide (CsBr):

Molar mass of CsBR = 212.81 g/mol

Number of moles = molarity * volume

Number of moles = 0.100 M *0.43 L

Number of moles = 0.043 moles

Mass of CsBr required = moles * Molar mass

Mass of CsBr required = 0.043 moles * 212.81 g/mol

Mass of CsBr required = 9.15 grams

(b) calcium sulfate (CaSO4):

Molar mass of CaSO4 = 136.14 g/mol

Mass of CaSO4 required = moles * Molar mass

Mass of CaSO4 required = 0.043 moles * 136.14 g/mol

Mass of CaSO4 required = 5.85 grams

(c) sodium phosphate (Na3PO4):

Molar mass of Na3PO4 = 163.94 g/mol

Mass of Na3PO4 required = moles * Molar mass

Mass of Na3PO4 required = 0.043 moles * 163.94 g/mol

Mass of Na3PO4 required = 7.05 grams

(d) lithium dichromate (Li2Cr2O7):

Molar mass of Li2Cr2O7 = 229.87 g/mol

Mass of Li2Cr2O7 required = moles * Molar mass

Mass of Li2Cr2O7 required = 0.043 moles * 229.87 g/mol

Mass of Li2Cr2O7 required = 9.88 grams

(e) potassium oxalate (K2C2O4):

Molar mass of K2C2O4 = 166.22 g/mol

Mass of K2C2O4 required = moles * Molar mass

Mass of K2C2O4 required = 0.043 moles * 166.22 g/mol

Mass of K2C2O4 required = 7.15 grams

aseous methane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 5.5 g of methane is

maksim [4K]

Answer:

There is 9.6 grams of CO2 produced

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of methane = 5.50 grams

Molar mass of methane = 16.04 g/mol

Mass of oxygen = 13.9 grams

Molar mass of oxygen = 32.0 g/mol

Step 2: The reaction

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)

Step 3: Calculate number of moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles methane = 5.50 grams / 16.04 g/mol

Moles methane = 0.343 moles

Moles oxygen = 13.9 grams / 32.0 g/mol

Moles oxygen = 0.434 moles

For 1 mol CH4 we need 2 moles O2 to produce 1 mol CO2 and 2 moles H2O

O2 is the limiting reactant. It will completely react (0.434 moles).

There will react 0.434/2 = 0.217 moles CH4

There will remain 0.343-0.217 = 0.126 moles CH4

There will be produced 0.434 moles of H2O and

0.434/2 =0.217 moles of CO2

Step 4: Calculate mass of products

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass CO2 = 0.217 moles ¨44.01 g/mol

Mass CO2 = 9.6 grams

Mass H2O = 0.434 moles * 18.02

Mass H2O = 7.8 grams

How many seconds would it take to deposit 17.3 g of ag (atomic mass = 107.87) from a solution of agno3 using a current of 10.00

Brums [2.3K]

Data Given:

Time = t = ?

Current = I = 10 A

Faradays Constant = F = 96500

Chemical equivalent = e = 107.86/1 = 107.86 g

Amount Deposited = W = 17.3 g

Solution:
According to Faraday's Law,

W = I t e / F

Solving for t,

t = W F / I e
Putting values,
t = (17.3 g × 96500) ÷ (10 A × 107.86 g)

t = 1547.79 s

t = 1.54 × 10³ s
