Answer:

\boxed{\rm \text{[ClO$_{2}^{-}$] increases}}

Explanation:

At the beginning, you have two reactions happening:

\rm HCl + H$_{2}$O$ $\, \longrightarrow \,$ H$_{3}$O$^{+}$ + Cl$^{-}$\\\rm HClO$_{2}$ + H$_{2}$O$ $\, \rightleftharpoons \,$ H$_{3}$O$^{+}$ + ClO$_{2}^{-}$

As you add KOH(aq), it does two things:

  1. It increases the volume of the solution.
  2. It reacts with the hydronium ions to form water.

A) The HCl is completely ionized. The Cl⁻ does not react, but it is diluted when the volume of the solution increases. [Cl⁻] decreases.

B) The KOH reacts with the H⁺ and removes it from the solution. [H⁺] decreases.

C) When all the H⁺ from the HCl has been neutralized, the KOH starts neutralizing the H⁺ from the HClO₂. According to Le Châtelier's Principle, more HClO₂ will dissociate to replace the decreased H⁺. [HClO₂] decreases.

D) As HClO₂ reacts, it forms ClO₂⁻. \boxed{\rm \textbf{[ClO$_{2}^{-}$] increases}}

How many grams of NaOH needed to completely neutralize 3L of 1.75M HCL
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

209.98 g of NaOH

Explanation:

We are given;

  • Volume of HCl as 3 L
  • Molarity of HCl as 1.75 M

We are required to calculate the mass of NaOH required to completely neutralize the acid given.

First, we write a  balanced equation for the reaction between NaOH and HCl

That is;

NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H₂O

Second, we determine the number of moles of HCl

Number of moles = Molarity × Volume

                             = 1.75 M × 3 L

                             = 5.25 moles

Third, we use the mole ratio to determine the moles of NaOH

From the reaction,

1 mole of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of HCl

Therefore;

Moles of NaOH = Moles of HCl

                          = 5.25 moles

Fourth, we determine the mass of NaOH

Molar mass of NaOH = 39.997 g/mol

Mass of NaOH = 5.25 moles × 39.997 g/mol

                        = 209.98 g

Thus, 209.98 g of NaOH will completely neutralize 3L of 1.74 M HCl

A chemist wants to extract copper metal from copper chloride solution. The chemist places 0.50 grams of aluminum foil in a solut
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Approximately 0.36 grams, because copper (II) chloride acts as a limiting reactant.

Explanation:

  • It is a stichiometry problem.
  • We should write the balance equation of the mentioned chemical reaction:

<em>2Al + 3CuCl₂ → 3Cu + 2AlCl₃.</em>

  • It is clear that 2.0 moles of Al foil reacts with 3.0 moles of CuCl₂ to produce 3.0 moles of Cu metal and 2.0 moles of AlCl₃.
  • Also, we need to calculate the number of moles of the reported masses of Al foil (0.50 g) and CuCl₂ (0.75 g) using the relation:

<em>n = mass / molar mass</em>

  • The no. of moles of Al foil = mass / atomic mass = (0.50 g) / (26.98 g/mol) = 0.0185 mol.
  • The no. of moles of CuCl₂ = mass / molar mass = (0.75 g) / (134.45 g/mol) = 5.578 x 10⁻³  mol.
  • <em>From the stichiometry Al foil reacts with CuCl₂ with a ratio of 2:3.</em>

∴ 3.85 x 10⁻³  mol of Al foil reacts completely with 5.578 x 10⁻³  mol of CuCl₂ with <em>(2:3)</em> ratio and CuCl₂ is the limiting reactant while Al foil is in excess.

  • From the stichiometry 3.0 moles of  CuCl₂ will produce the same no. of moles of copper metal (3.0 moles).
  • So, this reaction will produce 5.578 x 10⁻³ mol of copper metal.
  • Finally, we can calculate the mass of copper produced using:

mass of Cu = no. of moles x Atomic mass of Cu = (5.578 x 10⁻³  mol)(63.546 g/mol) = 0.354459 g ≅ 0.36 g.

  • <u><em>So, the answer is:</em></u>

<em>Approximately 0.36 grams, because copper (II) chloride acts as a limiting reactant.</em>

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Neither arre correct

Explanation:

Neither Anya nor Braden are correct. This is because if you use 90 degrees, 180 degrees, or even 270 degrees you will not get the exact image, which means that the image will not be found by just a rotation because there will be a curve in the image. You can solve it if you can do 90 degree rotation and translation.
