Answer:

The correct answer is option b, that is, 2.1 M Na₃PO₄.

Explanation:

The solution with the largest concentration of ions will possess the highest conductivity.

a) 3.0 M NaCl

NaCl ⇔ Na⁺ + Cl⁻

Here the total number of ions is 2, therefore, the concentration of ions is 3.0 × 2 = 6.0 M

b) 2.1 M Na₃PO₄

Na₃PO₄ ⇔ 3 Na⁺ + PO₄³⁻

Here the total number of ions i 4. Therefore, the concentration of ions is

2.1 × 4 = 8.4 M.

c) 2.4 M CaCl₂

CaCl₂ ⇔ Ca²⁺ + 2Cl⁻

The total number of ions is 3. Therefore, the concentration of ions is

2.4 × 3 = 7.2 M

d) 3.2 M NH₄NO₃

NH₄NO₃ ⇔ NH₄⁺ + NO₃⁻

The total number of ions is 2. The concentration of ions will be,

3.2 × 2 = 6.4 M

Hence, the highest conductivity will be of 2.1 M Na₃PO₄.

Hydrogen iodide, HI, is formed in an equilibrium reaction when gaseous hydrogen and iodine gas are heated together. If 20.0 g of

Kaylis [27]

Answer: D. 19.9 g hydrogen remains.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}$

a) moles of $H_2$

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{20.0g}{2g/mol}=10.0moles$

b) moles of $I_2$

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{20.0g}{254g/mol}=0.0787moles$

$H_2(g)+I_2(g)\rightarrow 2HI(g)$

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of $I_2$ require 1 mole of $H_2$

Thus 0.0787 moles of $l_2$ require= $\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0787=0.0787moles$ of $H_2$

Thus $l_2$ is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and $H_2$ acts as the excess reagent. (10.0-0.0787)= 9.92 moles of $H_2$ are left unreacted.

Mass of $H_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=9.92moles\times 2.01g/mol=19.9g$

Thus 19.9 g of $H_2$ remains unreacted.

How is gas different from a liquid

satela [25.4K]

The atoms and molecules in gases are much more spread out than in solids orliquids. They vibrate and move freely at high speeds. A gas will fill any container, but if the container is not sealed, the gas will escape. Gas can be compressed much more easily than a liquid or solid
