which statement best describes the equation caco3 2hcl → cacl2 co2 h2o? caco3 is a reactant; it is present before the reaction o

ccurs. cacl2 is a reactant; it is present before the reaction occurs. co2 is a reactant because it is most likely a gas. h2o is a reactant because it is most likely a liquid.

The correct answer among the choices given is the first option. The statement that best describes the reaction given is that calcium chloride or CaCO3 is a reactant. Additionally, hydrochloric acid is a reactant while the compounds on the right side of the reaction are the products.

Answer: CaCO_3 is a reactant; it is present before the reaction occurs.

Explanation:

In a chemical reaction the chemical formulas written before the arrow are described as reactants as they react together to form products which are written after the arrow.

CaCO_3 + 2HCl \rightarrow CaCl_2 + CO_2 + H_2O

Thus CaCO_3 and HCl are reactants here whereas CO_2, CaCl_2 and H_2O are products.

Every time you see molecules, atoms, & particles think of avagadros #. (6.022 x 10^23)

Answer: 13.6 grams of H2O

Solution: (4.56x10^23) x (1 mol H2O/6.022x10^23) x (18 grams H2O/1 mol H2O) = 13.6 grams of H2O

Using dimensional analysis above makes these types of problems easy.

Consider an exceptionally weak acid, HA, with a Ka = 1x10 -20 . You make a 0.1M solution of the salt Na
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

pH=13

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the acid, we can suppose a simple dissociation as:

HA\rightleftharpoons H^+ + A^-

Which occurs in aqueous phase, therefore, the law of mass action is written by:

Ka=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}

That in terms of the change x due to the reaction's extent we can write:

1x10^{-20}=\frac{x*x}{0.1M-x}

But we prefer to compute the Kb due to its exceptional weakness:

Kb=\frac{Kw}{Ka}=\frac{1x10^{-14}}{1x10^{-20}}  =1x10^{-6}

Next, the acid dissociation in the presence of the base we have:

Kb=\frac{[OH^-][HA]}{[A^-]}=1x10^{6}=\frac{x*x}{0.1-x}

Whose solution is x=0.0999M which equals the concentration of hydroxyl in the solution, thus we compute the pOH:

pOH=-log([OH^-])=-log(0.0999)=1

Finally, since the maximum scale is 14, we can compute the pH by knowing the pOH:

pH+pOH=14\\\\pH=14-pOH=14-1\\\\pH=13

Regards.

Express the van der Waals equation of state as a virial expansion in powers of 1/Vm and obtain expressions for B and C in terms
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

PV_{m} = RT[1 + (b-\frac{a}{RT})\frac{1}{V_{m} } + \frac{b^{2} }{V^{2} _{m} } + ...]

B = b -a/RT

C = b^2

a = 1.263 atm*L^2/mol^2

b = 0.03464 L/mol

Explanation:

In the given question, we need to express the van der Waals equation of state as a virial expansion in powers of 1/Vm and obtain expressions for B and C in terms of the parameters a and b. Therefore:

Using the van deer Waals equation of state:

P = \frac{RT}{V_{m}-b } - \frac{a}{V_{m} ^{2} }

With further simplification, we have:

P = RT[\frac{1}{V_{m}-b } - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} ^{2} }]

Then, we have:

P = \frac{RT}{V_{m} } [\frac{1}{1-\frac{b}{V_{m} } } - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]

Therefore,

PV_{m} = RT[(1-\frac{b}{V_{m} }) ^{-1} - \frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]

Using the expansion:

(1-x)^{-1} = 1 + x + x^{2} + ....

Therefore,

PV_{m} = RT[1+\frac{b}{V_{m} }+\frac{b^{2} }{V_{m} ^{2} } + ... -\frac{a}{RTV_{m} }]

Thus:

PV_{m} = RT[1 + (b-\frac{a}{RT})\frac{1}{V_{m} } + \frac{b^{2} }{V^{2} _{m} } + ...]           equation (1)

Using the virial equation of state:

P = RT[\frac{1}{V_{m} }+ \frac{B}{V_{m} ^{2}}+\frac{C}{V_{m} ^{3} }+ ...]

Thus:

PV_{m} = RT[1+ \frac{B}{V_{m} }+ \frac{C}{V_{m} ^{2} } + ...]     equation (2)

Comparing equations (1) and (2), we have:

B = b -a/RT

C = b^2

Using the measurements on argon gave B = −21.7 cm3 mol−1 and C = 1200 cm6 mol−2 for the virial coefficients at 273 K.

b = \sqrt{C} = \sqrt{1200} = 34.64[tex]cm^{3}/mol[/tex] = 0.03464 L/mol

a = (b-B)*RT = (34.64+21.7)*(1L/1000cm^3)*(0.0821)*(273) = 1.263 atm*L^2/mol^2
