Answer:

1) P4O10 + 6H20 → 4H3PO4

2) 1.25 moles of P4O10

3) 7.5 moles of water

Explanation:

1. Write the balanced equation for this reaction

P4O10 + 6H20 → 4H3PO4

2) Determine the number of moles of P4O10 required to produce 5.00 moles of phosphoric acid.

For 1 mole P4O10 consumed, we need 6 moles of water to produce 4 moles of H3PO4

If we get 5.00 moles of H3PO4, we'll have 5/4 = 1.25 moles of P4O10 consumed.

3) Determine the number of moles of water required to produce 5.00 moles of phosphoric acid

For 1 mole P4O10 consumed, we need 6 moles of water to produce 4 moles of H3PO4

If we have 5.00 moles of H3PO4, we'll get (6/4)*5 = 7.5 moles of water consumed.

A student obtains a beaker containing a solution that is determined to have a hydrogen ion

OleMash [197]

Answer:

pH = 13.1

Basic

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Hydrogen ion concentration ([H⁺]): 6.7 × 10⁻¹⁴ M

Step 2: Calculate the pH of the solution

We will use the definition of pH.

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log 6.7 × 10⁻¹⁴ = 13.1

When pH < 7, the solution is acid.
When pH = 7, the solution is neutral.
When pH > 7, the solution is basic.

Since pH > 7, the solution is basic.

A researcher wants to test the solubility (property of being dissolved) of salt in water as the temperature of the water increas

Leya [2.2K]

The researcher may first weight the beaker with water and then start to heat the water to a constant temperature, for example 30 °C and then start adding salt and stirring. He should add salt slowly until solid salt starts to become visible and the solution starts becoming cloudy. When this happens, he should quickly weigh the beaker. The increase in mass is the mass of salt dissolved at that temperature.
The procedure is then repeated but at an increased temperature until 5-6 temperatures have been tested.

What is the pH of a solution of 0.800 M KH2PO4, potassium dihydrogen phosphate?

Nookie1986 [14]

KH₂PO₄ hydrolyzes as;
H₂PO₄⁻ + H₂O ↔ H₃PO₄ + OH⁻
Let x amount of H₂PO₄⁻ has reacted with water then,
Kb₁ = [H₃PO₄][OH⁻] / [H₂PO₄⁻]
[H₂PO₄⁻] = 0.8-x M
Kb₁ = x² / (0.8 - x)
Given Ka₁ = 7.5 x 10⁻³
so Kb₁ = 1 x 10⁻¹⁴ / (7.5 x 10⁻³) = 1.33 x 10⁻¹²
From this information:
1.33 x 10⁻¹² = x² / 0.8
x = [OH⁻] = 1.03 x 10⁻⁶ M
pOH = - log (1.03 x 10⁻⁶) = 5.99
pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 5.99 = 8.01

A scientist measures the standard enthalpy change for the following reaction to be -17.2 kJ : Ca(OH)2(aq) 2 HCl(aq)CaCl2(s)

elixir [45]

Answer: $\Delta H^{0}=-173.72$ kJ/mol

Explanation: Enthalpy Change is the amount of energy in a reaction - absorption or release - at a constant pressure. So, Standard Enthalpy of Formation is how much energy is necessary to form a substance.

The standard enthalpy of formation of HCl is calculated as:

$\Delta ^{0}=\Sigma H_{products}-\Sigma H_{reactants}$
