Answer:

To neutralize nitric acid we will need a base which is ammonia.

Explanation:

Neutralization reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water molecule.

The chemical equation for neutralization reaction follows:

$HA+BOH\rightarrow BA(salt)+H_2O$

So, in order to neutralize nitric acid we will need a base which is ammonia.

$NH_3+HNO_3\rightarrow NH_4NO_3$

As we know that ammonia is Bronsted lowry base which can accept proton. So, ammonia will accept the proton given by nitric acid to form ammonium ion.And this ammonium ion formed carries positive charge which combine with nitrate ion to form ammonium nitrate as a product.

Write a net ionic equation for the overall reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of nitrous acid and sodium hydroxide are

Bess [88]

Answer:

H+(aq) + OH-(aq) → H2O(l)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

nitrious acid = HNO3

sodium hydroxide = NaOH

Step 2: The unbalance equation

HNO3(aq) + NaOH(aq) →NaNO3(aq) + H2O(l)

The net ionic equation, for which spectator ions are omitted - remember that spectator ions are those ions located on both sides of the equation - will , after canceling those spectator ions in both side (Ba^2+ and Br-), look like this:

H+(aq) + NO3-(aq) + Na+(aq) + OH-(aq) →Na+(aq) +NO3(aq) + H2O(l)

H+(aq) + OH-(aq) → H2O(l)

Calculate the concentrations of all species present in a 0.26 M solution of ethylammonium chloride (C2H5NH3Cl).

Alina [70]

Answer:

0.00000223

Explanation:

pKa for C2H5NH3+ = 10.7

pKw = 14.0

pKa + pKb = pKw

10.7 + pKb = 14.0

pKb = 14.0 - 10.7

pKb = 3.30

C2H5NH3Cl is a salt of ethylamine and HCl so it will dissolve in water to produce C2H5NH3^+ + Cl^-

The base hydrolysis reaction: C2H5NH3^+(aq) + H2O(l) <=> C2H5NH2(aq) + H3O^+(aq)

This reaction is described by Kb.

Kb = [C2H5NH2][H3O^+]/[C2H5NH3^+]

Let [C2H5NH2] = [H3O^+] = x,

so [C2H5NH3^+] = 0.26 - x

Kb = x^2/(0.26 - x) = 2.00 x 10^-11

Let's solve for x. In this equation, It is possible to solve without the use quadratic equation. So we can assume that 0.26 - x is approximately equal to 0.26. We won't know until we do the calculation.

We get: x^2 + 2.00 x 10^-11x - 4.99 x 10^-12 = 0

With the use of a quadratic calculator.

x = 2.23 x 10^-6 M = [C2H5NH2] = [H3O^+]

0.26 - x is just 0.26 M in this problem because 2.23 x 10^-6 M is insignificant.

[C2H5NH3^+] = 0.26 M = [Cl^-]

NOTE:

pH = -log [H3O^+] = -log(2.23 x 10^-6) = 5.65

Ka is the acid dissociation constant

Kb is the base dissociation constant

The standard enthalpy change for the following reaction is 873 kJ at 298 K.

Flura [38]

Answer: - 436.5 kJ.

Explanation:

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation.

The given chemical reaction is,

$2KCl(s)\rightarrow 2K(s)+Cl_2(g)$ $\Delta H_1=873kJ$

Now we have to determine the value of $\Delta H$ for the following reaction i.e,

$K(s)+\frac{1}{2}Cl_2(g)\rightarrow KCl(s)$ $\Delta H_2=?$

According to the Hess’s law, if we divide the reaction by half then the $\Delta H$ will also get halved and on reversing the reaction , the sign of enthlapy changes.

So, the value $\Delta H_2$ for the reaction will be:

$\Delta H_2=\frac{1}{2}\times (-873kJ)$

$\Delta H_2=-436.5kJ$

Hence, the value of $\Delta H_2$ for the reaction is -436.5 kJ.

How does the size of a nanoparticle compare with the size of an atom?

RSB [31]

A nanoparticle is larger than an atom. A nanoparticle is usually made from a few hundred atoms. These particles range from 1 nanometers to 100 nanometers. On the other hand an atom ranges from 0.1 nanometers to 105 nanometers. Using the sizes above, one can clearly see and understand that an atom is smaller.

Which part of a star does the star’s energy come from?

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

For most of its active life, a star shines due to thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium in its core, releasing energy that traverses the star's interior and then radiates into outer space. At the end of a star's lifetime, its core becomes a stellar remnant : a white dwarf , a neutron star , or, if it is sufficiently massive, a black hole .
