2 answers:
<u>Answer:</u> Substance X is ethanoic acid and the reactions are given below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
A compound having molecular formula of which turns blue litmus to red is considered as an acid.
The compound is ethanoic acid which is generally termed as acetic acid.
Thus, the compound X is acetic acid.
The chemical equations for the reaction of X with
- a. <u>Ethanol in the presence of
</u>
When acetic acid reacts with etahnol in the presence of an acid, it leads to the formation of a fruity smelling compound known as ester which is ethyl acetate.
- b. <u>Sodium carbonate</u>
When acetic acid reacts with sodium carbonate, it leads to the formation of sodium acetate, carbon dioxide and water.

When aqueous solutions of NaCl and are mixed, a solid forms. Determine the mass of solid formed when 140.7 mL of 0.1000 M NaCl is mixed with an excess of an aqueous solution of
<u>Answer:</u> The mass of lead chloride produced is 1.96 g
<u>Explanation:</u>
Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:
.....(1)
Given values:
Molarity of NaCl = 0.1000 M
Volume of the solution = 140.7 mL
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
The chemical equation for the reaction of NaCl and lead nitrate follows:
By the stoichiometry of the reaction:
If 2 moles of NaCl produces 1 mole of lead chloride
So, 0.01407 moles of NaCl will produce = of lead chloride
The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.
The equation used is:
......(2)
Molar mass of lead chloride = 278.1 g/mol
Plugging values in equation 2:
Hence, the mass of lead chloride produced is 1.96 g
