Why is it dangerous to react sodium and potassium with dulute sulphuric acid?​

Chemistry

Answer:

Because sodium and potassium are very reactive metals so they react explosively with HCL and H2SO4 evolving a large amount of heat.

Answer:

Potassium, sodium, lithium and calcium all react violently

with dilute sulfuric acid and dilute hydrochloric acid.

It is dangerous to put thesemetals into an acid.

The reaction is similar to the reaction with water,

forming the metal salt (either sulfate or chloride) plus H2(g).

Answer:

a. The limiting reactant is Ca(OH)₂

b. The theoretical yield of CaCl₂ is approximately 621.488 grams

c. The percentage yield of CaCl₂ is approximately 47.06%

Explanation:

a. The given chemical reaction is presented as follows;

Ca(OH)₂ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + 2H₂O

Therefore;

One mole of Ca(OH)₂ reacts with two moles of HCl to produce one mole of CaCl₂ and two moles of water H₂O

The mass of HCl in an experiment, m₁ = 229.70 g

The mass of Ca(OH)₂ in an experiment, m₂ = 207.48 g

The molar mass of HCl, MM₁ = 36.458 g/mol

The molar mass of Ca(OH)₂, MM₂ =74.093 g/mol

The number of moles of HCl, present, n₁ = m₁/MM₁

∴ n₁ = m₁/MM₁ = 229.70 g/(36.458 g/mol) ≈ 6.3 moles

The number of moles of Ca(OH)₂, present, n₂ = m₂/MM₂

∴ n₂ = m₂/MM₂ = 207.48 g/(74.093 g/mol) ≈ 2.8 moles

The number of moles of Ca(OH)₂, present, n₂ = 2.8 moles

According the chemical reaction equation the number of moles of HCl the 2.8 moles of Ca(OH)₂ will react with, = 2.8 × 2 moles = 5.6 moles of HCl

Therefore, there is an excess HCl in the reaction and Ca(OH)₂ is the limiting reactant

b. According the chemical reaction equation the number of moles of CaCl₂ produced in he reaction by the 2.8 moles of Ca(OH)₂ = 2.8 × 2 moles = 5.6 moles of CaCl₂

The molar mass of CaCl₂ = 110.98 g/mol

The mass of the 5.6 moles of CaCl₂ = 5.6 moles × 110.98 g/mol ≈ 621.488 grams

The theoretical yield of CaCl₂ ≈ 621.488 grams

c. Given that the actual mass of CaCl₂ produced = 292.5 grams, we have;

The percentage yield of CaCl₂ = The actual yield/(The theoretical yield) × 100

∴ The percentage yield of CaCl₂ = (292.5 g)/(621.488 g) × 100 ≈ 47.0644646397%

The percentage yield of CaCl₂ ≈ 47.06%.

Upon heating a copper sample will expand, leading to a lower density? <br><br>A) True<br>B) False
Leona [35]

Answer;

The above statement is true

upon heating a copper sample will expand, leading to a lower density

Explanation;

-The density of solids decreased with increase in temperature and vice versa. The increase in temperature causes the volume of the solid to increase which as a result decreases the density as Density=Mass/Volume. The temperature of a body is the average kinetic energy of the molecules present in it.

In other words; The temperature of a body is the average kinetic energy of the molecules present in it. Therefore; when heat is supplied ( or temperature is increased) the average kinetic energy increases which increases the volume and thus density decreases.

Discribe how continents and oceans are carried on tectonic plates
Vanyuwa [196]
This question seems to be very basic .the ocean is above the plate, the plate material is heavier than water (it being rock). That's pretty much all of it. The plates grind a little and new land pushes up at plate boundaries but this does not seem to be related. The heavier material is below and the lighter above, those being rock and water respectively.
hope this helped u
