If you mix 4.5 g of hcl in enough water to make 0.9 l (900 ml of solution, what is the molarity of the solution?

1 answer:

4 0

We first need to convert grams of hydrogen chloride to moles.

molarity = moles of solute/liters of solution

To convert from grams to moles, we need to divide by it's molecular mass.

4.5 g HCl * (1 mole HCl/ 36.46 g HCl) = 0.123 moles HCl

0.12 moles/0.9 L = 0.13 M HCl

If they gave you the volume as 900 mL, then that would be 3 sig figs. And the sig figs would be limited to 2 because the mass.If, however, they gave you the volume as 0.9 L, then that would be 1 sig fig. And the final answer would be limited to to 1 sig fig.

Why do people want different kinds of light bulbs?

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

LED bulbs fit standard light sockets and are the most energy-efficient option. LEDs have lower wattage than incandescent bulbs but emit the same light output. This allows them to produce the same amount of light but use less energy. LEDs can last over 20 years and don't contain mercury

The reaction of hydrogen gas and iron oxide is described by the chemical equation below. 3H2+Fe2O3→2Fe+3H2O How many moles of ir

ELEN [110]

Answer:

2.2 moles of Fe will be produced

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Number of moles of hydrogen gas = 3.3 moles

Number of moles of iron oxide = 1.5 moles

Step 2: The balanced equation

3H2 + Fe2O3 → 2Fe + 3H2O

Step 3: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 3 moles H2 we need 1 mol Fe2O3 to produce 2 moles Fe and 3 moles H2O

Hydrogen gas is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (3.3 moles). Fe2O3 is in excess. There will react 3.3 / 3 = 1.1 moles

There will remain 1.5 - 1.1 = 0.4 moles Fe2O3

Step 4: Calculate moles Fe

For 3 moles H2 we need 1 mol Fe2O3 to produce 2 moles Fe and 3 moles H2O

For 3.3 moles H2 we'll have 2/3 * 3.3 = 2.2 moles Fe

2.2 moles of Fe will be produced

Arrange the elements in decreasing order of first ionization energy.

just olya [345]

Answer:

The decreasing order of first ionization energy: Se > Ge > In > Cs

The decreasing order of first ionization energy: x > y > z

Explanation:

Ionization energy refers to the energy needed to completely pull out an electron from the valence shell of a neutral gaseous atom.

First ionization energy is the energy involved in the removal of first valence electron.

In the periodic table, down the group, as atomic radius of elements increases, the ionization energy decreases

Whereas, across a period, as atomic radius of elements decreases, the ionization energy increases.

PART (A):

Position of the given elements in the periodic table:

Indium (In): Group 13, period 5

Germanium (Ge): Group 14, period 4

Selenium (Se): Group 16, period 4

Caesium (Cs): Group 1, period 6

Thus, the increasing order of atomic radius: Se < Ge < In < Cs

Therefore, the decreasing order of first ionization energy: Se > Ge > In > Cs

PART (B):

Given elements:

element x: radius = 110 pm

element y: radius = 199 pm

element z: radius = 257 pm

Thus, the increasing order of atomic radius: x < y < z

Therefore, the decreasing order of first ionization energy: x > y > z
