Answer:

n = 1.89 mol.

Explanation:

Think of this as adiabatic free expansion. This means constant temperature -- we know this because the internal energy does not change.

Since the temperature is constant, the entropy change can be given by:

Entropy = nRln(V2/V1)

Entropy = 17.28 J/K. R = 8.314 (gas constant). V2 = 3V. V1 = V.

Thus, we get:

17.28 = n(8.314)ln3

Solve for n. We get n = 1.89 mol.

Here is a more complex redox reaction involving the dichromate ion in acidic solution: 3N O 2 − + 8H + + C r 2 O 7 2− → 3N O 3 −
Fantom [35]

Answer:

NO2- is the reducing agent.

Cr2O7_2- is the oxidizing agent.

H+ is neither

Explanation:

Reduction is the gain in electron. A chemical specie that undergoes reduction is called the oxidizing agent.

Oxidation is simply the loss in electrons. A chemical specie that undergoes oxidation is called the reducing agent.

Let us look at the species.

The first specie is the NO2-. In this specie, the oxidation number of nitrogen changed from +3 to +5 in NO3-. Thus we can see that there is more loss of electron to have caused an increase in the oxidation number positively. This shows an oxidation. Hence, NO2- is the reducing agent.

Let us look at the chromium. We can see that the oxidation number of chromium changed from +7 to +3.

Now we can see that it is a decrease and hence, it is a gain of electron and thus it is reduction. This means the first chromium specie is the oxidizing agent.

The hydrogen ion is simply placed there to balance the ions and hence it is neither the oxidizing nor the reducing agent.

(6 points) Calculate the maximum number of moles and grams of H2S that can form when 158 g of aluminum sulfide reacts with 131 g
Schach [20]

Answer:107.1 g, 124.1 g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

Al2S3(s) + 6H20(l) ----> 2Al(OH)3(s) + 3H2S(g)

Hence;

For Al2S3

Number of moles= reacting mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 158g/150gmol-1 =1.05 moles

If 1 mole of Al2S3 yields 3 moles of H2S

1.05 moles of Al2S will yield

1.05 × 3/1 = 3.15 moles

Mass of H2S = 3.15moles × 34 gmol-1 = 107.1 g

For water

Number of moles of water = 131g/18gmol-1= 7.3 moles

6 moles of water yields 3 moles of H2S

7.3 moles of water will yield 7.3 × 3/6 = 3.65 moles of H2S

3.65 moles × 34 gmol-1 =124.1 g

Which situations will NOT increase the reactions rate of most chemical reactions?
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Reactant concentration. Increasing the concentration of one or more reactants will often increase the rate of reaction. ...

Physical state of the reactants and surface area. ...

Temperature. ...

Presence of a catalyst.

Explanation:

Five factors typically affecting the rates of chemical reactions will be explored in this section: the chemical nature of the reacting substances, the state of subdivision (one large lump versus many small particles) of the reactants, the temperature of the reactants, the concentration of the reactants
