How many grams of fluorine must be reacted with excess lithium iodide to produce 10.0 grams of lithium fluoride?

rewona [7]

Answer:
7.32 g of F₂

Solution:
The equation is as follow,

2 LiI + F₂ → 2 LiF + I₂

According to equation,

51.88 g (2 mole) of LiF is produced from = 37.99 g (1 mole) F₂
So,
10 g of LiF will be produced by = X g of F₂

Solving for X,
X = (10 g × 37.99 g) ÷ 51.88 g

X = 7.32 g of F₂

Suppose you have just added 100 ml of a solution containing 0.5 mol of acetic acid per liter to 400 ml of 0.5 m naoh. what is th

Tpy6a [65]

$pH = 13.5$

Explanation:

Sodium hydroxide completely ionizes in water to produce sodium ions and hydroxide ions. Hydroxide ions are in excess and neutralize all acetic acid added by the following ionic equation:

$\text{HAc} + \text{OH}^{-} \to \text{Ac}^{-} + \text{H}_2\text{O}$

The mixture would contain

$0.4 \times 0.5 - 0.1 \times 0.5 = 0.15 \; \text{mol}$ of $\text{OH}^{-}$ and
$0.1 \times 0.5 = 0.05 \; \text{mol}$ of $\text{Ac}^{-}$

if $\text{Ac}^{-}$ undergoes no hydrolysis; the solution is of volume $0.1 + 0.4 = 0.5 \; \text{L}$ after the mixing. The two species would thus be of concentration $0.30 \; \text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1}$ and $0.10 \; \text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1}$ , respectively.

Construct a RICE table for the hydrolysis of $\text{Ac}^{-}$ under a basic aqueous environment (with a negligible hydronium concentration.)

$\begin{array}{cccccccc} \text{R} & \text{Ac}^{-}(aq) &+ & \text{H}_2\text{O}(aq) & \leftrightharpoons & \text{HAc}(aq) & + & \text{OH}^{-} (aq)\\ \text{I} & 0.10 \; \text{M} & & & & & &0.30 \; \text{M}\\ \text{C} & -x \; \text{M}& & & & +x \; \text{M}& & +x \; \text{M} \\ \text{E} & (0.10 - x) \; \text{M} & & & & x \; \text{M} & & (0.30 +x) \; \text{M} \end{array}$

The question supplied the <em>acid</em> dissociation constant $pK_a$ for acetic acid $\text{HAc}$ ; however, calculating the hydrolysis equilibrium taking place in this basic mixture requires the <em>base</em> dissociation constant $pK_b$ for its conjugate base, $\text{Ac}^{-}$ . The following relationship relates the two quantities:

$pK_{b} (\text{Ac}^{-}) = pK_{w} - pK_{a}( \text{HAc})$

... where the water self-ionization constant $pK_w \approx 14$ under standard conditions. Thus $pK_{b} (\text{Ac}^{-}) = 14 - 4.7 = 9.3$ . By the definition of $pK_b$ :

$[\text{HAc} (aq)] \cdot [\text{OH}^{-} (aq)] / [\text{Ac}^{-} (aq) ] = K_b = 10^{-pK_{b}}$

$x \cdot (0.3 + x) / (0.1 - x) = 10^{-9.3}$

$x = 1.67 \times 10^{-10} \; \text{M} \approx 0 \; \text{M}$

$[\text{OH}^{-}] = 0.30 +x \approx 0.30 \; \text{M}$

$pH = pK_{w} - pOH = 14 + \text{log}_{10}[\text{OH}^{-}] = 14 + \text{log}_{10}{0.30} = 13.5$

Of the following, ________ should have the highest critical temperature. Of the following, ________ should have the highest crit

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

H2

Explanation:

Critical temperature is the temperature above which gas cannot be liquefied, regardless of the pressure applied.

Critical temperature directly depends on the force of attraction between atoms, it means stronger the force of higher will be the critical temperature. So, from the given options H2 should have the highest critical temperature because of high attractive forces due to H bonding.

Hence, the correct option is H2.

Using the following equation: 3H2SO4+ 2Fe -> Fe2(SO4)3+ 3H2

Mariana [72]

Answer:

H₂SO₄

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of H₂SO₄ = 15 mol

Number of moles of Fe = 13 mol

Which reactant is limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3H₂SO₄ + 2Fe → Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + 3H₂

now we will compare the moles reactant with product.

H₂SO₄ : Fe₂(SO₄)₃

3 : 1

15 : 1/3×15 = 5

H₂SO₄ : H₂

3 : 3

15 : 15

Fe : Fe₂(SO₄)₃

2 : 1

13 : 1/2×13 = 6.5

Fe : H₂

2 : 3

13 : 3/2×13 = 19.5

Number of moles of product formed by H₂SO₄ are less thus it will act as limiting reactant.
