two flasks are connected through stopcock and are at the same temperature. What is the pressure once the stopcock is opened?
a. 736 Torr
b. 276 Torr
c. 461 Torr
d. 250 Torr
e. 449 Torr

Answer:

a. $P_T=736.4torr$

Explanation:

Hello,

By using Boyle's law, one computed the final pressure for both helium and argon as shown below:

$P_{2,He}=\frac{265mL*749torr}{265mL+455mL} =275.67torr\\P_{2,Ar}=\frac{455mL*729torr}{265mL+455mL} =460.69torr\\$

Now, by adding the resulting pressures, we compute the final pressure after the stopcock is opened:

$P_T=P_{2,He}+P_{2,Ar}=275.67torr+460.69torr\\P_T=736.4torr$

So the answer is a.

Best regards.

Identify the correct coefficients to balance the redox reaction with the lowest possible integer coefficients.

Monica [59]

Answer:

$\rm 3\; Ag^{1+} + 1\; Al \to 1\; Al^{3+} + 3\; Ag$ .

Explanation:

Electrons are conserved in a chemical equation.

The superscript of $\rm Ag^{1+}$ indicates that each of these ions carries a charge of $+1$ . That corresponds to the shortage of one electron for each $\rm Ag^{+}$ ion.

Similarly, the superscript $+3$ on each $\rm Al^{3+}$ ion indicates a shortage of three electrons per such ion.

Assume that the coefficient of $\rm Ag^{+}$ (among the reactants) is $x$ , and that the coefficient of $\rm Al^{3+}$ (among the reactants) is $y$ .

$\rm \mathnormal{x}\; Ag^{1+} + ?\; Al \to \mathnormal{y}\; Al^{3+} + ?\; Ag$ .

There would thus be $x$ silver ( $\rm Ag$ ) atoms and $y$ aluminum ( $\rm Al$ ) atoms on either side of the equation. Hence, the coefficient for $\rm Al\!$ and $\rm Ag\!$ would be $y\!$ and $x\!$ , respectively.

$\rm \mathnormal{x}\; Ag^{1+} + \mathnormal{y}\; Al \to \mathnormal{y}\; Al^{3+} + \mathnormal{x}\; Ag$ .

The $x$ $\rm Ag^{1+}$ ions on the left-hand side of the equation would correspond to the shortage of $x$ electrons. On the other hand, the $y$ $Al^{3+}$ ions on the right-hand side of this equation would correspond to the shortage of $3\, y$ electrons.

Just like atoms, electrons are also conserved in a chemical reaction. Therefore, if the left-hand side has a shortage of $x$ electrons, the right-hand side should also be $x\!$ electrons short of being neutral. On the other hand, it is already shown that the right-hand side would have a shortage of $3\, y$ electrons. These two expressions should have the same value. Therefore, $x = 3\, y$ .

The smallest integer $x$ and $y$ that could satisfy this relation are $x = 3$ and $y = 1$ . The equation becomes:

$\rm 3\; Ag^{1+} + 1\; Al \to 1\; Al^{3+} + 3\; Ag$ .

For the following reaction, 33.7 grams of bromine are allowed to react with 13.0 grams of chlorine gas.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Explanation:

The reaction is given as;

Br2(g) + Cl2(g) ----> 2BrCl(g)

From the equation;

1 mol of Br2 reacts with 1 mol of Cl2

Converting the masses given to moles, using the formular;

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass

Br2;

Number of moles = 33.7 g / 159.808 g/mol = 0.21088 mol

Cl2;

Number of moles = 13.0 g / 70.906 g/mol = 0.18334 mol

From the values;

0.18334 mol of Cl2 would react with 0.18334 mol of Br2 with an excess of 0.02754 mol of Br2

<em>What is the maximum amount of bromine monochloride that can be formed? __________grams</em>

<em />

1 mol of Cl2 produces 2 mol of Bromine Monochloride

0.18334 mol of Cl2 would produce x

Solving for x;

x = 0.18334 * 2 = 0.36668 mol

Converting to mass;

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass = 0.36668 mol * 115.357 g/mol

Mass = 42.299 g

<em />

<em>What is the FORMULA for the limiting reagent?</em>

<em />

The limiting reagent is Cl2 as it determines the amount of product formed. The moment the reaction uses up Cl2, the reaction stops.

<em>What amount of the excess reagent remains after the reaction is complete? __________grams</em>

The excess reagent is Br2

The number of moles left is;

0.02754 mol of Br2

Converting to mass;

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass = 0.02754 mol * 159.808 g/mol

Mass = 4.401 g
