Explanation:

A balanced equation is an equation in which number of molecules on both left and right side are the same or equal.

When aluminium chloride decomposes then it gives aluminium and chlorine gas.

The decomposition reaction will be as follows.

$2AlCl_{3} (s) \rightarrow 2Al(s) + 3Cl_{2}(g)$

Therefore, we can see that number of molecules on the reactant and product side are same. Hence, this equation is balanced.

Answer:

A. 2C12H26(l) + 37O2(g) —> 24CO2(g) + 26H2O(g)

B. 761.42 L

Explanation:

A. Step 1:

The equation for the reaction.

C12H26(l) + O2(g) —> CO2(g) + H2O(g)

A. Step 2:

Balancing the equation.

The equation can be balance as follow:

C12H26(l) + O2(g) —> CO2(g) + H2O(g)

There are 12 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 12 in front of CO2 as illustrated below:

C12H26(l) + O2(g) —> 12CO2(g) + H2O(g)

There are 26 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 13 in front of H2O as illustrated below:

C12H26(l) + O2(g) —> 12CO2(g) + 13H2O(g)

Now, there are a total of 37 atoms of O2 on the right side and 2 atoms on the left. It can be balance by putting 37/2 in front of O2 as illustrated below:

C12H26(l) + 37/2O2(g) —> 12CO2(g) + 13H2O(g)

Multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction from the equation.

2C12H26(l) + 37O2(g) —> 24CO2(g) + 26H2O(g)

Now the equation is balanced

B. Step 1:

We'll by obtaining the number of mole of C12H26 in 0.450 kg of C12H26. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of C12H26 = (12x12) + (26x1) = 144 + 26 = 170g/mol

Mass of C12H26 = 0.450 kg = 0.450x1000 = 450g

Number of mole of C12H26 =?

Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass

Number of mole of C12H26 = 450/170

Number of mole of C12H26 = 2.65 moles

B. Step 2:

Determination of the number of mole of CO2 produced by the reaction. This is illustrated below:

2C12H26(l) + 37O2(g) —> 24CO2(g) + 26H2O(g)

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of C12H26 produced 24 moles of CO2.

Therefore, 2.65 moles of C12H26 will produce = (2.65x24)/2 = 31.8 moles of CO2.

B. Step 3:

Determination of the volume of CO2 produced by the reaction.

Pressure (P) = 1 atm

Temperature (T) = 19°C = 19°C + 273 = 292K

Gas constant (R) = 0.082atm.L/Kmol

Number of mole (n) = 31.8 moles

Volume (V) =?

The volume of CO2 produced by the reaction can b obtained by applying the ideal gas equation as follow:

PV = nRT

1 x V = 31.8 x 0.082 x 292

V = 761.42 L

Therefore, the volume of CO2 produced is 761.42 L

Oxygen, fluorine and iodine are diatomic elements. Flourine is more reactive than the other two because it is the closest away to filling its outer layer of electrons and becoming stable like a noble gas.

Calculate the solubilities of the following compounds in a 0.02 M solution of barium nitrate using molar concentrations, first i

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

a. 1.7 × 10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹; b. 5.5 × 10⁻⁹ mol·L⁻¹

c. 2.3 × 10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹; 5.5 × 10⁻⁸ mol·L⁻¹

Explanation:

a. Silver iodate

Let s = the molar solubility.

AgIO₃(s) ⇌ Ag⁺(aq) + IO₃⁻(aq); Ksp = 3.0 × 10⁻⁸

E/mol·L⁻¹: s s

$K_{sp} =\text{[Ag$^{+}$][IO$_{3}$$^{-}$]} = s\times s = s^{2} = 3.0\times 10^{-8}\\s = \sqrt{3.0\times 10^{-8}} \text{ mol/L} = 1.7 \times 10^{-4} \text{ mol/L}$

b. Barium sulfate

BaSO₄(s) ⇌ Ba²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq); Ksp = 1.1 × 10⁻¹⁰

I/mol·L⁻¹: 0.02 0

C/mol·L⁻¹: +s +s

E/mol·L⁻¹: 0.02 + s s

$K_{sp} =\text{[Ba$^{2+}$][SO$_{4}$$^{2-}$]} = (0.02 + s) \times s \approx 0.02s = 1.1\times 10^{-10}\\s = \dfrac{1.1\times 10^{-10}}{0.02} \text{ mol/L} = 5.5 \times 10^{-9} \text{ mol/L}$

c. Using ionic strength and activities

(i) Calculate the ionic strength of 0.02 mol·L⁻¹ Ba(NO₃)₂

The formula for ionic strength is

$\mu = \dfrac{1}{2} \sum_{i} {c_{i}z_{i}^{2}}\\\\\mu = \dfrac{1}{2} (\text{[Ba$^{2+}$]}\cdot (2+)^{2} + \text{[NO$_{3}$$^{-}$]}\times(-1)^{2}) = \dfrac{1}{2} (\text{0.02}\times 4 + \text{0.04}\times1)= \dfrac{1}{2} (0.08 + 0.04)\\\\= \dfrac{1}{2} \times0.12 = 0.06$

(ii) Silver iodate

a. Calculate the activity coefficients of the ions

$\log \gamma = -0.51z^{2}\sqrt{I} = -0.051(1)^{2}\sqrt{0.06} = -0.51\times 0.24 = -0.12\\\gamma = 10^{-0.12} = 0.75$

b. Calculate the solubility

AgIO₃(s) ⇌ Ag⁺(aq) + IO₃⁻(aq)

$K_{sp} =\text{[Ag$^{+}$]$\gamma_{Ag^{+}}$[IO$_{3}$$^{-}$]$\gamma_{IO_{3}^{-}}$} = s\times0.75\times s \times 0.75 =0.56s^{2}= 3.0 \times 10^{-8}\\s^{2} = \dfrac{3.0 \times 10^{-8}}{0.56} = 5.3 \times 10^{-8}\\\\s =2.3 \times 10^{-4}\text{ mol/L}$

(iii) Barium sulfate

a. Calculate the activity coefficients of the ions

$\log \gamma = -0.51z^{2}\sqrt{I} = -0.051(2)^{2}\sqrt{0.06} = -0.51\times16\times 0.24 = -0.50\\\gamma = 10^{-0.50} = 0.32$

b. Calculate the solubility

BaSO₄(s) ⇌ Ba²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq

$K_{sp} =\text{[Ba$^{2+}$]$\gamma_{ Ba^{2+}}$[SO$_{4}$$^{2-}$]$\gamma_{ SO_{4}^{2-}}$} = (0.02 + s) \times 0.32\times s\times 0.32 \approx 0.02\times0.10s\\2.0\times 10^{-3}s = 1.1 \times 10^{-10}\\s = \dfrac{1.1\times 10^{-10}}{2.0 \times 10^{-3}} \text{ mol/L} = 5.5 \times 10^{-8} \text{ mol/L}$
