Answer: Static electricity will help in seed dispersal in cone bearing seeds.

Explanation:

Static electricity is the stationary electric charge produced by the friction. The static electricity can be produced by the turbulence or air currents in the storm clouds. This is responsible for the cause of lightening phenomena.

The cone bearing seeds exhibit cones that are hard and woody in nature. The static electricity due to the effect of lightening generate electrical shock which breaks open the cone and disperse the seeds. Thus the static electricity is important for seed dispersal in cone bearing trees.

Suppose of barium acetate is dissolved in of a aqueous solution of ammonium sulfate. Calculate the final molarity of barium cati

ollegr [7]

Explanation:

Let us assume that the given data is as follows.

mass of barium acetate = 2.19 g

volume = 150 ml = 0.150 L (as 1 L = 1000 ml)

concentration of the aqueous solution = 0.10 M

Therefore, the reaction equation will be as follows.

$Ba(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_{2} \rightarrow Ba^{2+} + 2C_{2}H_{3}O^{-}_{2}$

Hence, moles of $C_{2}H_{3}O^{-}_{2}$ = $2 \times Ba(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_{2}$ .......... (1)

As, No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

Hence, moles of $Ba(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_{2}$ will be calculated as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{2.19 g}{255.415 g/mol}$ (molar mass of $Ba(C_{2}H_{3}O_{2})_{2}$ is 255.415 g/mol)

= $8.57 \times 10^{-3}$

Moles of $C_{2}H_{3}O^{-}_{2}$ = $2 \times 8.57 \times 10^{-3}$

= 0.01715 mol

Hence, final molarity will be as follows.

Molarity = $\frac{\text{no. of moles}}{volume}$

= $\frac{0.01715 mol}{0.150 L}$

= 0.114 M

Thus, we can conclude that final molarity of barium cation in the solution is 0.114 M.

A sample of nitrogen occupies 10.0 liters at 25°C what would be the new volume at 20°C? 7.9 L Ob 9.8 L 10.2 L 10.6 L

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

9.4 liter

Explanation:

1) Data:

V₁ = 10.0 L

T₁ = 25°C = 25 + 273.15 K = 298.15 K

P₁ = 98.7 Kpa

T₂ = 20°C = 20 + 273.15 K = 293.15 K

P₂ = 102.7 KPa

V₂ = ?

2) Formula:

Used combined law of gases:

PV / T = constant

P₁V₁ / T₁ = P₂V₂ / T₂

3) Solution:

Solve the equation for V₂:

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂ / (P₂ T₁)

Substitute and compuite:

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂ / (P₂ T₁)

V₂ = 98.7 KPa × 10.0 L × 293.15 K / (102.7 KPa × 298.15 K)

V₂ = 9.4 liter ← answer

What is the theoretical yield if 35.5g of Al reacts 39.0g of Cl2

atroni [7]

Answer : The correct answer for the Theoretical Yield is 48.93 g of product .

Theoretical yield : It is amount of product produced by limiting reagent . It is smallest product yield of product formed .

Following are the steps to find theoretical yield .

Step 1) : Write a balanced reaction between Al and Cl₂ .

2 Al + 3 Cl₂→ 2 AlCl₃

Step 2: To find amount of product (AlCl₃) formed by Al .

Following are the sub steps to calculate amount of AlCl₃ formed :

a) To calculate mole of Al :

Given : Mass of Al = 35.5 g

Mole can be calculate by following formula :

$Mole = \frac{given mass (g)}{atomic mass \frac{g}{mol}}$

$Mole = \frac{35.5 g }{26.9 \frac{g}{mol}}$

Mole = 1.32 mol

b) To find mole ratio of AlCl₃ : Al

Mole ratio is calculated from balanced reaction .

Mole of Al in balanced reaction = 2

Mole of AlCl₃ in balanced reaction = 2.

Hence mole ratio of AlC; l₃ : Al = 2:2

c) To find mole of AlCl₃ formed :

$Mole of AlCl_3 = Mole of Al * Mole ratio$

$Mole of AlCl_3 = 1.32 mol of Al * \frac{2}{2}$

Mole of AlCl₃ = 1.32 mol

d) To find mass of AlCl₃

Molar mass of AlCl₃ = $133.34 \frac{g}{mol}$

Mass of AlCl3 can be calculated using mole formula as:

$1.32 mol of AlCl_3 = \frac{ mass (g)}{133.34 \frac{g}{mol}}$

Multiplying both side by $133.34 \frac{g}{mol}$

$1.32 mole * 133.34\frac{g}{mol} = \frac{mass (g)}{133.34\frac{g}{mol}} *133.34 \frac{g}{mol}$

Mass of AlCl₃ = 176.00 g

Hence mass of AlCl₃ produced by Al is 176.00 g

Step 3) To find mass of product (AlCl₃) formed by Cl₂ :

Same steps will be followed to calculate mass of AlCl₃

a) Find mole of Cl₂

$Mole of Cl_2 = \frac{39.0 g}{70.9\frac{g}{mol}}$

Mole of Cl₂ = 0.55 mol

b) Mole ratio of Cl₂ : AlCl₃

Mole of Cl₂ in balanced reaction = 3

Mole of AlCl₃ in balanced reaction = 2

Hence mole ratio of AlCl₃ : Cl₂ = 2 : 3

c) To find mole of AlCl₃

$Mole of AlCl_3 = mole of Cl_2 * mole ratio$

$Mole of AlCl_3 = 0.55 mole * \frac{2}{3}$

Mole of AlCl3 = 0.367 mol

d) To find mass of AlCl₃ :

$0.367 mol of AlCl_3 = \frac{mass (g) }{133.34 \frac{g}{mol}}$

Multiplying both side by

$133.34 \frac{g}{mol}$

$0.367 mol of AlCl_3 * 133.34 \frac{g}{mol} = \frac{mass(g)}{133.34\frac{g}{mol}} * 133.34 \frac{g}{mol}$

Mass of AlCl₃ = 48.93 g

Hence mass of AlCl₃ produced by Cl₂ = 48.93 g

Step 4) To identify limiting reagent and theoretical yield :

Limiting reagent is the reactant which is totally consumed when the reaction is complete . It is identified as the reactant which produces least yield or theoretical yield of product .

The product AlCl₃ formed by Al = 176.00 g

The product AlCl₃ formed by Cl₂ = 48.93 g

Since Cl₂ is producing less amount of product hence it is limiting reagent and 48.93 g will be considered as Theoretical yield .
