When a solution of barium nitrate and a solution of copper (II) sulfate are mixed, a chemical reaction produces solid barium sul

fate, which sinks to the bottom, and a solution of copper (II) nitrate. Suppose some barium nitrate is dissolved in 120.00 g of water and 8.15 g of copper (II) sulfate is dissolved in 75.00 g of water. The solutions are poured together, and a white solid forms. After the solid is filtered off, it is found to have a mass of 10.76 g. The mass of the solution that passed through the filter is 204.44 g. What mass of barium nitrate was used in the reaction?

The total mass of the products is 10.76 g + 204.44 g = 215.20 g.
The masses of all the reactants but one are known so,

215.20 g - 120.00 g - 8.15 g - 75.00 g = 12.05 g

12.05 g is the mass of the unweighed barium nitrate.

Mass of barium nitrate used in the beginning of the reaction was \boxed{12.05{\text{ g}}}.

Further explanation:

The chemical reaction that contains equal number of atoms of the different elements in the reactant as well as in the product side is known as balanced chemical reaction. The chemical equation is required to be balanced to follow the Law of the conservation of massThe chemical reaction that contains equal number of atoms of the different elements in the reactant as well as in the product side is known as balanced chemical reaction. The chemical equation is required to be balanced to follow the Law of the conservation of mass.

Every chemical reaction occurs in accordance with the law of conservation of mass that states that total mass of the reactant combining must be equal to the products formed. Hence every balanced chemical equation must obey the law of conservation of mass and energy.

The balanced chemical equation for reaction between barium nitrate and copper sulfate is given as follows:

{\text{BaN}}{{\text{O}}_3}\left( l \right) + {\text{CuS}}{{\text{O}}_4}\left( l \right) \to {\text{BaS}}{{\text{O}}_4}\left( s \right) + {\text{CuN}}{{\text{O}}_3}\left( l \right)  

Since the mass of the solution that passed through the filter was 215.20{\text{ g}}, and the mass of solid {\text{BaS}}{{\text{O}}_4} precipitate separated was  {\text{10}}{\text{.76 g}}. Hence total mass of products is the sum of these two reactants.

\begin{aligned}{\left( {{\text{Total}}\;{\text{Mass}}} \right)_{{\text{products}}}} &= {\text{10}}{\text{.76 g}} + 215.20{\text{ g}}\\&= 215.20{\text{ g}}\\\end{aligned}

Assume the mass of unknown barium nitrate is x . Mass of reactants involves mass of barium nitrate, water used for dissolving barium nitrate, mass of copper sulfate and water used for dissolving copper sulfate. The total mass of reactants is calculated as follows:

 \begin{aligned}{\left( {{\text{Total Mass}}} \right)_{{\text{reactants}}}}&= x + {\text{8}}{\text{.15 g}} + {\text{120}}{\text{.0 g}} + {\text{75}}{\text{.00 g}}\\&= x + 203.15\;{\text{g}}\\\end{aligned}

The law of conservation of mass holds true for this equation as well as represented below:

{\left( {{\text{Total Mass}}} \right)_{{\text{reactants}}}} = {\left( {{\text{Total}}\;{\text{Mass}}} \right)_{{\text{products}}}}                                     …… (1)

Substitute 215.20{\text{ g}} for {\left( {{\text{Total}}\;{\text{Mass}}} \right)_{{\text{products}}}} and x + 203.15\;{\text{g}} for {\left( {{\text{Total Mass}}} \right)_{{\text{reactants}}}} in equation

(1).

 x + {\text{120}}{\text{.0 g}} + {\text{75}}{\text{.00 g}} + {\text{8}}{\text{.15 g}} = 215.20{\text{ g}}

Simplify to obtain the value of mass of barium nitrate \left( x \right).

 \begin{aligned}x&=215.20{\text{ g}}- {\text{120}}{\text{.0 g}} - {\text{75}}{\text{.00 g}} - {\text{8}}{\text{.15 g}}\\&= 215.20{\text{ g}} - {\text{203}}{\text{.15 g}}\\&= 12.05{\text{ g}}\\\end{aligned}

<h2>CH_3CH_2OH  →  CH_3CHO </h2>

Explanation:

Ethanol can be oxidized to ethanal or acetaldehyde which is further oxidized to acid that is acetic acid.

CH_3CH_2OH→  CH_3CHO [oxidation by loss of hydrogen]

  • An oxidizing agent potassium dichromate(VI) solution is used to remove the hydrogen from the ethanol.  
  • An oxidizing agent used along with dilute sulphuric acid for acidification.

Acetaldehyde can also be reduced back to ethanol again by adding hydrogen to it by using a reducing agent that is sodium tetrahydro borate, NaBH4.

  • The oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids can be done by the two-step process.  
  • In the first step, one molecule of water is added in the presence of a catalyst that is acidic.
  • There is a generation of a hydrate. (geminal 1,1-diol).

     CH_3CHO  →  CH_3CH_2COOH [reduction by the gain of electrons]

Here, the oxidizing agent used isCr_3O in the presence of acetone.

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: C, 146

Explanation:

NaCl has a molar mass of 58.44 g/mol.

To change moles to g, we do:

2.50 moles × 58.44 g/mol = 146.1 g, so C

1. Marisa determined the melting point of a substance to be 24.5C. Find the percent error of her measurement if the actual melti
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

\%\ Error = 21.5\%

Explanation:

Given

Measured = 24.5

Actual = 31.2

Required

Determine the percentage error

First, we need to determine the difference in the measurement

Difference = |Actual - Measured|

Difference = |31.2 - 24.5|

Difference = |6.7|

Difference = 6.7

The percentage error is calculated as thus:

\%\ Error = \frac{Difference * 100\%}{Actual}

\%\ Error = \frac{6.7 * 100\%}{31.2}

\%\ Error = \frac{670\%}{31.2}

\%\ Error = 21.4743589744\%

\%\ Error = 21.5\% <em>approximated</em>
