Answer:  Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Chemical formula of citric acid is C_{6}H_{8}O_{7}.

It is acidic in nature and therefore, it is used to add tartness or sour flavor to the food like jams, jellies, candies etc.

It is also used as a preservative and thus it helps to preserve various food items for a longer period of time.

How many grams of H2O will be formed when 32.0 g H2 is mixed with 84.0 g of O2 and allowed to react to form water
adell [148]

Answer:

94.57 g H2O

Explanation:

32.0 g H2

Molar Mass H2: 2.01 g/mol

84.0 g O2

Molar Mass O2: 32.00 g/mol

Molar Mass H2O: 18.02 g/mol

First balance the eqution:

2H2 + O2 = 2H2O

Find the amount of moles that both 32.0 g of H2 and 84.0 g of O2 can produce using the molar masses:

32.0 g H2 x ((1 mole H2)/ (2.015 g H2)) = 15.88 moles H2

84.0 g O2 x ((1 mole O2)/(32.00 g O2)) = 2.63 moles O2

Now you can find the amount of grams of H2O each reactant will produce:

**keep in mind of mole ratios from balanced equation**

15.88 moles H2 x ((2 moles H2O)/(2 moles H2)) x ((18.015 g H2O)/(1 mole H2O) =286.07 g H2O

2.63 moles O2 x ((2 moles H2O)/(1 mole O2)) x ((18.015 g H2O)/(1 mole H2O) = 94.76 g H2O

94.76 is the final answer because this is the limiting reactant, meaning it produces less product than the H2 so it limits the reaction from producing anymore product from the amount calculated.

On a balance, you have beakers of AgNO3AgNO3 solution and NaClNaCl solution. When mixed, they will form AgCl(s)AgCl(s). What wil
statuscvo [17]

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor it can be destroyed. But it can be simply transformed from one form to another.

Therefore, when AgNO_{3} is added to NaCl then the compound formed will have same mass as that of reactants.

       AgNO_{3} + NaCl \rightarrow AgCl + NaNO_{3}

Total mass of reactants is (169.87 + 58.44) g/mol = 228.31 g/mol

Total mass of products is (143.32 + 84.99) g/mol = 228.31 g/mol

Thus, we can conclude that mass of the new mixture will stay the same.

A voltaic cell is constructed using the following half-reactions: Ag+(aq) + e- ---> Ag(s) EoAg+ = +0.80 V Cu2+(aq) + 2e- ---&
Anton [14]
- Standard reduction potential of Ag/Ag⁺ is 0.80 v and that of Cu⁺²(aq)/Cu⁰ is +0.34 V.
- The couple with a greater value of standard reduction potential will oxidize the reduced form of the other couple.
Ag⁺ will be reduced to Ag(s) and Cu⁰ will be oxidized to Cu²⁺
Anode reaction: Cu⁰(s) →  Cu²⁺ + 2 e⁻     E⁰ = +0.34 V
Cathode reaction: Ag⁺(aq) + e → Ag(s)     E⁰ = +0.80 V 
Cell reaction: Cu⁰(s) + 2 Ag⁺(aq) → Cu⁺²(aq) + 2 Ag⁰(s)
E⁰ cell = E⁰ cathode + E⁰ anode
            = 0.80 + (-0.34) = + 0.46 V
