Answer:

a. Ca₃(PO₄)₂.

b. 0.010 moles of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ can we expect to be produced

c. 3.1g of Ca₃(PO₄)₂

d. Percent yield = 93.5%

Explanation:

a. Based on the reaction:

3Ca(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2Na₃PO₄(aq) → Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6NaNO₃(aq)

<em>3 moles of calcium nitrate reacts with 2 moles of sodium phosphate producieng 1 mole of calcium phosphate.</em>

<em />

As you can see, Ca₃(PO₄)₂ is a solid product -(s)-, that means when the reaction occurs the precipitate produced is the solid,

<h3>Ca₃(PO₄)₂</h3><h3 />

b. As 3 moles of calcium nitrate produce 1 mole of calcium phosphate and there are 0.030 moles of calcium nitrate

0.030 moles Ca(NO₃)₂ × (1 mol Ca₃(PO₄)₂ / 3 moles Ca(NO₃)₂) =

<h3>0.010 moles of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ can we expect to be produced</h3><h3 />

c. As molar mass of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ is 310.18g/mol, the mass of 0.010 moles (The expected mass) is;

0.010 moles Ca₃(PO₄)₂ × (310.18g / mol) =

<h3>3.1g of Ca₃(PO₄)₂</h3><h3 />

d. The percent yield is defined as 100 times the ratio between the obtained yield (That is 2.9g of precipitate, Ca₃(PO₄)₂) and the expected yield, 3.1g of Ca₃(PO₄)₂:

\frac{2.9g}{3.1g} *100

<h3>Percent yield = 93.5%</h3>

A gas exerts a pressure of 1.8 atm at a temperature of 60 degrees celsius. What is the new temperature when the pressure of the
Kamila [148]

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

  • <u><em>Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 740 K</em></u>

Explanation:

Given:

Initial pressure of the gas (P_{1}) = 1.8 atm

Final pressure of the gas (P_{2})  = 4 atm

Initial temperature of the gas (T_{1}) = 60°C = 60 + 273 = 333 K

To solve:

Final temperature of the gas (T_{2})

We know;

From the ideal gas equation;

we know;

P  × V = n × R × T

So;

we can tell from the above equation;

 <u>   P ∝ T</u>

(i.e.)

      <em> </em>\frac{P}{T}<em> = constant</em>

        \frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} } = \frac{T_{1} }{T_{2} }

Where;

P_{1}  = initial pressure of a gas

P_{2} = final pressure of a gas

T_{1} = initial temperature of a gas

T_{2} = final temperature of a gas

        \frac{1.8}{4} = \frac{333}{T_{2} }

   T_{2} =\frac{333*4}{1.8}

    T_{2} = 740 K

<u><em>Therefore the final temperature of the gas is 740 K</em></u>

Which agents cause both chemical and physical weathering
shutvik [7]
Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down by either physical or chemical means. Physical weathering involves physical factors that cause mechanical break down of rocks while chemical weathering involves chemical reactions between the contents of the rocks and other factors such air (oxygen). Agents of weathering are the factors that cause or enhance both physical and chemical weathering. Some of these factors cause both physical and chemical weathering these includes water and temperature.
