Water is a good choice of solvent because it is benign, cheap and readily available. Identify two characteristics that make wate

r a good choice for the recrystallization solvent for benzoic acid? (What are the characteristics of a good recrystallization solvent?)

Explanation:

Characteristics of good solvent choice for the recrystallization.

1. Water has low solubility of benzoic acid at room temperature.

2. Cold water's low solubility of  benzoic acid allows for the high concentration production of crystal. And these crystals could be easily soluble in hot water.

3. Water dissolves soluble impurities well at  the room temperature.

Explanation:

It is known that a compound is soluble when the boiling point of the solvent is high. Whereas at normal temperature of the solvent it will have low solubility.

And, if the solute is highly soluble into the solvent at normal temperature then it is difficult to recrystallize the solute.

Hence, in order to recrystallize the solute particles it is necessary that impurities will be highly soluble at the room temperature or they should remain insoluble into the hot solvent.

As a result, there will not take place any reaction between the solute and solvent.

Since, benzoic acid is non-polar in nature and water is a polar solvent so, it will not easily dissolve in water. Therefore, it will readily evaporate in order to give the pure compound.

Write the balanced NET IONIC equation for the reaction that occurs when ammonium nitrate and potassium hydroxide are combined. N
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Net Ionic equation

NH₄⁺ + OH⁻ → NH₃ + H₂O

Option B is correct.

Weak Acid Strong Base

Check Explanation for the extent of the reaction.

Explanation:

Ammonium nitrate = NH₄NO₃

Potassium Hydroxide = KOH

Ammonium salts combine with alkalis to liberate NH₃ and form water.

The two reactants combine to give

NH₄NO₃ + KOH → KNO₃ + NH₃ + H₂O

In ionic form,

- NH₄NO₃ exists as NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻

- KOH exists as K⁺ and OH⁻

- KNO₃ as K⁺ and NO₃⁻

And NH₃ and H₂O stay as they are, as per covalent compounds.

So, we have

NH₄⁺ + NO₃⁻ + K⁺ + OH⁻ → K⁺ + NO₃⁻ + NH₃ + H₂O

Eliminating the ions that exist on both sides, we have the net ionic equation to be

NH₄⁺ + OH⁻ → NH₃ + H₂O

which shows that this reaction is essentially a neutralization reaction in which the Bronsted Lowry acid, NH₄⁺, loses its proton to the base, OH⁻ and gives conjugate base, NH₃ and conjugate acid, H₂O.

This reaction is classified as a Weak acid versus Strong Base reaction as NH₄⁺ is from a Weak acid and OH⁻ is from a strong base.

Since this reaction is between a Weak base and a strong acid, the ionization isn't expected to be 100%, Hence, the extent of this reaction will be any option that is not 100%, a couple pieces of information might be required for the correct estimate, but above 50% seems correct.

Hope this Helps!!!

<u>Chemistry</u>

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

0.200 mol H₂S

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of S - 32.07 g/mol

Molar Mass of H₂S - 2(1.01) + 32.07 = 34.09 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. Set up:                    \displaystyle 0.200 \ mol \ H_2S(\frac{34.09 \ g \ H_2S}{1 \ mol \ H_2S})
  2. Multiply:                  \displaystyle 6.818 \ g \ H_2S

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

6.818 g H₂S ≈ 6.82 g H₂S

A common laboratory reaction is the neutralization of an acid with a base. When 31.8 mL of 0.500 M HCl at 25.0°C is added to 68.
lord [1]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "90.6 kJ/mol".

Explanation:

The total reactant solution will be:

(31.8 \ mL+68.9 \ mL)\times 1.07\ g/mL = 107.74 \ g

The produced energy will be:

=4.18 \ J/(gK)\times 107.74 \ g\times (28.2-25.0)K

=450.35\times 3.2

=1441.12 \ J

The reaction will be:

⇒  HCl+NaOH \rightarrow NaCl+H_{2}O

Going to look at just the amounts of reactions with the same concentrations, we notice that they're really comparable.  

Therefore, the moles generated by NaCl will indeed be:

=  (\frac{31.8}{1000} \ L)\times (0.500 \ M \ HCl/L)\times \frac{1 \ mol \ NaCl}{1 \ mol \ HCl}

=  0.0318\times 0.500

=  0.0159 \ mole  \ of \ NaCl

Now,

=  \frac{1441.12 \ J}{0.0159 \ moles \ NaCl}

=  906364.7

=  90.6 \ KJ/mol \ NaCl
