What is a likely oxidation state of Chlorine? a)-1 b) 7 C) -7 d) +1

Answer the following questions based on the reaction below: NaOH(aq) + KHP(s) --> NaKP(aq)+H2O(I)

Natali [406]

Answer:

a) 1.44g

b) 77.3%

Explanation:

1. Chemical balanced equation (given)

$NaOH(aq)+ KHP(s)\rightarrow NaKP(aq)+H_2O(l)$

2. Mole ratio

$1molNaOH(aq):1molKHP(s)$

This is, 1 mol of NaOH will reacts with 1 mol of KHP.

3. Find the number of moles in 72.14 mL of the base

$Molarity=\text{number of moles of solute}/\text{volume of solution in liters}$

$\text{Volume of solution}=72.14mL=0.07214liters$

$\text{Number of moles of NaOH}=0.0978M\times 0.07214liter=0.007055mol$

4. Find the number of grams of KHP that reacted

The number of moles of KHP that reacted is equal to the number of moles of NaOH, 0.007055 mol

Convert moles to grams:

mass = number moles × molar mass = 0.007055mol × 204.23g/mol

mass = 1.4408 g.

You have to round to 3 significant figures: 1.44 g (because the molarity is given with 3 significant figures).

5. Find the percentage of KHP in the sample

The percentage is how much of the substance is in 100 parts of the sample.

The formula is:

% = (mass of substance / mass of sample) × 100

% = (1.4408g/ 1.864g) × 100 = 77.3%

Given 7.45 g of butanoic acid and excess ethanol, how many grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized, assuming a complete 100

KengaRu [80]

The equation for the reaction is:

C₄H₈O₂ + C₂H₅OH = C₆H₁₂O₂ + H₂O

Now you see that the number of the moles of butanoic acid and etyl butyrate is equal in

the reaction. That means;

number of moles of C₄H₈O₂ = number of moles of C₆H₁₂O₂

mass of C₄H₈O₂/ Molar mass of C₄H₈O₂ = mass of C₆H₁₂O₂/ molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₂

mass of C₆H₁₂O₂ = molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₂ x mass of C₄H₈O₂/ Molar mass of C₄H₈O₂

Now, assuming 100% yield, the mass of ethyl butyrate produced is:

= 7.45/88.11 x 116.16

=9.82g

Thus, the theoretical yield of ethyl butyrate is 9.82g.

When molten sulfur reacts with chlorine gas, a vile-smelling orange liquid forms that has an empirical formula of SCl. The struc

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The structure is shown below.

Explanation:

The formal charge (FC) is the charge that is more close to the actual charge in the real molecules and ions. It can be calculated based on the number of valence electrons (V), the shared electrons (S) and the electrons in the lone pairs (L) by the equation:

FC = V - (L + S/2)

Sulfur is in group 16 of the periodic table, so it has 6 valence electrons, and chlorine is from group 17 of the periodic table, and so it has 7 valence electrons. Chlorine can share only one electron, so it is stable. Sulfur can expand its octet (because it's from the third period) and can have more than 8 electrons when stable.

The possible formulas, from the empiric one, are:

SCl, S₂Cl₂, and S₃Cl₃.

To have FC = 0, chlorine must done only one bond, because S = 2, and L = 6, so:

FC = 7 - (6 + 2/2) = 0

So, it can not be the central atom of a structure. In the SCl, it will hav only a simple bond, so for sulfur, S = 2, and L = 4 (only the lone pairs are counted)

FC = 6 - (4+ 2/2) = +1

For S₂Cl₂, the two sulfurs must be bonded to a simple bond, and each one to one chlorine, thus, for both od them S = 4, and L = 4. so

FC = 6 - (4 + 4/2) = 0

So, it is the correct structure. The lewis structure represents the bonds by lines and the lone pairs of electrons by dots, and it is shown below.
