Answer:

(a) Ethyl acetate and hexane, and (c) methanol and methylene chloride.

Explanation:

re-crystallization is a technique used to purify solid compound.   Ethyl acetate and hexane are good solvent pair for recrystallization because they are miscible with each other due to their good differences in polarity. ethyl acetate has polarity of 77 while hexane has 68.

water and diethyl ether are not good solvent pair for recrystallization because water and diethyl ether are immiscible. They have very far polarity values. water has 100 while diethyl ether has 35

Solid sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3, decomposes on heating according to the equation:
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

First, let's write the balanced equation again:

2 NaHCO3(s) <-> Na2CO3(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g)

Now, we know that the total pressure was 7.76 atm. This total pressure, is the sum of the pressure of water and CO2 like this:

Ptotal = Pwat + PCO2 (1)

This is the dalton's law for partial pressures.

The pressure can be also be relationed with the moles

Ratio of mole = Ratio of pressure

so, taking this in consideration we can say the following:

Pwater/PCO2 = moles water / moles CO2

As the only components exerting pressure are CO2 and Water (Because they are in gas phase), the total pressure can be splitted between the two of them so:

Pwater = Ptotal/2

Pwater = 7.76 / 2 = 3.88 atm

With this pressure, and using the ideal gas equation, we can know the moles of water:

PV = nRT

n = PV/RT     using R = 0.082 L atm / K mol

n = 3.88 * 5 / 0.082 * (160+273)

n = 0.546 moles of water

b) now that we have the moles of water, we can actually know the moles that reacted originally from the sodium carbonate by stechiometry.

2NaHCO3(s) <-> Na2CO3(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g)    MMCO2 = 84 g/mol

the moles of NaHCO3 initially:

n = 100 / 84

n = 1.19 moles

so, If 1.19 moles of NaHCO3 reacted, and only produces 0.546 moles of water and CO2, then, the remaining moles of NaHCO3 is:

remaining moles = 1.19 - 0.546 = 0.644 moles

therefore the mass remaining:

mCO2 = 0.644 * 84

mCO2 = 54.096 g

c) As it was stated before, only the gaseous components are involved in the pressure, thus, in the kp expression which is:

Kp = Pwater * PCO2

Kp = 3.88 * 3.88

Kp = 15.0544

d) As the total pressure is 7.76 atm and the fact that NaHCO3 is solid, this component is not exerting any pressure in the reaction, as seen in the Kp expression, so it won't matter that if we raise a little the quantity of the reactant, it still has some remaining.

Problem Page Liquid hexane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 70. g of
shusha [124]

Answer:

The maximum mass of carbon dioxide that could be produced by the chemical reaction is 70.6gCO_{2}

Explanation:

1. Write down the balanced chemical reaction:

2C_{6}H_{14}_{(l)}+19O_{2}_{(g)}=12CO_{2}_{(g)}+14H_{2}O_{(g)}

2. Find the limiting reagent:

- First calculate the number of moles of hexane and oxygen with the mass given by the problem.

For the hexane:

70.0gC_{6}H_{14}*\frac{1molC_{6}H_{14}}{86.2gC_{6}H_{14}}=0.81molesC_{6}H_{14}

For the oxygen:

81.3gO_{2}*\frac{1molO_{2}}{32.0gO_{2}}=2.54molesO_{2}

- Then divide the number of moles between the stoichiometric coefficient:

For the hexane:

\frac{0.81}{2}=0.41

For the oxygen:

\frac{2.54}{19}=0.13

- As the fraction for the oxygen is the smallest, the oxygen is the limiting reagent.

3. Calculate the maximum mass of carbon dioxide that could be produced by the chemical reaction:

The calculations must be done with the limiting reagent, that is the oxygen.

81.3gO_{2}*\frac{1molO_{2}}{32gO_{2}}*\frac{12molesCO_{2}}{19molesO_{2}}*\frac{44.0gCO_{2}}{1molCO_{2}}=70.6gCO_{2}
