4 0

Answer:

Oxidation is the loss of electrons, that is, addition of electronegetive elements, example is addition of oxygen. Also, removal of electropositive elements, example is removal of hydrogen.

Explanation: a) In the presence of excess oxygen, propane burns in air, which gives the following chemical equation:

C3H8 + 5O2⇒ 3CO2 + 4H2O +Heat

b) When insufficient oxygen or too much oxygen is present for complete combustion, the following equation is given:

2C3H8 + 9O2 ⇒ 4CO2 + 2CO + 8H2O + Heat

c) At the anode( negative terminal): O∧2- ⇒ O + e

Oxygen accepts electron.

d) At cathode ( positive terminal): H∧+ + e∧- ⇒ H

Hydrogen donates electron

d) Nernst equation for reversal potential is given as follows:

E= RT/zF  In{ion outside cell}/{ion inside cell}= 2.303 RT/zF In{ion outside cell}/{ion inside cell}

Two solutions are combined in a beaker. One solution contains 500.0 g of potassium phosphate and the other contains 500.0 g of c
Anna [14]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is

Two solutions are combined in a beaker. One solution contains 500.0 g of potassium phosphate and the other contains 500.0 g of calcium nitrate. A double displacement reaction occurs. What mass of each of the following substances is present when the reaction stops. A) potassium phosphate remaining B) calcium nitrate g remaining C) calcium phosphate formed D) potassium nitrate g formed

Answer:

a)84.91g

b)8.20g

c)316.4g

d)616.73g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction:

2K3PO4(aq) + 3Ca(NO3)2 (aq)-------> 6KNO3(aq) + Ca3(PO4)2(s)

Molar mass of potassium phosphate= 212.27 g/mol

Amount of potassium phosphate= 500/212.27= 2.4 moles

Molar mass of calcium nitrate= 164.088 g/mol

Amount of calcium nitrate= 500/164.088=3.05moles

a) amount of potassium phosphate reacted according to reaction equation= 2 moles

Amount of potassium phosphate remaining= 2.4-2=0.4 moles

Mass of potassium phosphate remaining= 0.4×212.27=84.91g

b) Amount of calcium nitrate reacted according to reaction equation=3

Amount of calcium nitrate remaining=3.05-3= 0.05

Mass of calcium nitrate remaining= 0.05×164.088= 8.20g

c) since calcium nitrate is the limiting reactant, we use to estimate the mass of products formed.

From the reaction equation,

3 moles of calcium nitrate yields 1 mole of calcium phosphate

3.05 moles of calcium nitrate yields 3.05/3 = 1.02 moles of calcium phosphate

Molar Mass of calcium phosphate= 310.18 g/mol

Mass of calcium phosphate produced= 1.02×310.18= 316.4g

d)

3 moles of calcium nitrate yields 6 moles of potassium nitrate

3.05 moles of calcium nitrate yields 3.05×6/3= 6.1 moles of potassium nitrate

Molar mass of potassium nitrate = 101.1032 g/mol

Mass of potassium nitrate formed= 6.1× 101.1032= 616.73g
