A 0.539 g sample of a metal, M, reacts completely with sulfuric acid according to the reaction M(s)+H2SO4(aq)⟶MSO4(aq)+H2(g) A v

olume of 249 mL of hydrogen gas is collected over water; the water level in the collecting vessel is the same as the outside level. Atmospheric pressure is 1.0079 bar and the temperature is 25 °C. The vapor pressure of water at 25 °C is 0.03167 bar. Calculate the molar mass of the metal.

Answer:

The molar mass of the metal is 54.9 g/mol.

Explanation:

When we work with gases collected over water, the total pressure (atmospheric pressure) is equal to the sum of the vapor pressure of water and the pressure of the gas.

Patm = Pwater + PH₂

PH₂ = Patm - Pwater = 1.0079 bar - 0.03167 bar = 0.9762 bar

The pressure of H₂ is:

0.9762bar.\frac{1atm}{1.013bar} =0.9637atm

The absolute temperature is:

K = °C + 273 = 25°C + 273 = 298 K

We can calculate the moles of H₂ using the ideal gas equation.

P.V=n.R.T\\n=\frac{P.V}{R.T} =\frac{0.9637atm \times 0.249L }{(0.08206atm.L/mol.K)\times298K} =9.81 \times 10^{-3} mol

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

M(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) ⟶ MSO₄(aq) + H₂(g)

The molar ratio of M:H₂ is 1:1. So, 9.81  × 10⁻³ moles of M reacted. The molar mass of the metal is:

\frac{0.539g}{9.81 \times 10^{-3} mol} =54.9g/mol

Calculate the equilibrium constant of the reaction below if the pressures are 1.0atm, 2.0 atm, and 1.0 atm respectively. PCl3 +
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

K = 0.5

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

PCl₃ + Cl₂ ⇄ PCl₅

The equilibrium constant, K, is defined as:

K = P PCl₅ / P PCl₃ * P Cl₂

<em>Where P represent the pressure at the equilibrium for each one of the gases involved in the equilibrium.</em>

<em />

As:

P PCl₅ = 1.0atm

P PCl₃ = 1.0atm

P Cl₂ = 2.0atm

K = 1.0atm / 1.0atm * 2.0atm

<h3>K = 0.5</h3>

Write and balance the half-reaction for the oxidation of white phosphorous P4 to the phosphate ion PO3^−4 in a basic solution.
aalyn [17]

Since the half-reaction is occurring in a basic solution, add 32OH− to each side of the equation to eliminate the H+ ions.

P₄ +16H₂O + 32OH⁻ ⟶ 4PO₃⁻⁴ + 32H⁺ +32OH⁻

Final reaction :

P₄ + 32OH⁻ ⟶ 4PO₃⁻⁴ + 16H₂O + 20e⁻

A half reaction is either the oxidation or reduction reaction component of a redox reaction. A half reaction is obtained by considering the change in oxidation states of individual substances involved in the redox reaction.

The concept of half-reactions is used to describe what occurs in an electrochemical cell, such as a Galvanic cell battery. Half-reactions can be written to describe both the metal undergoing oxidation (known as the anode) and the metal undergoing reduction (known as the cathode).

Half-reactions are often used as a method of balancing redox reactions. For oxidation-reduction reactions in acidic conditions, after balancing the atoms and oxidation numbers, one will need to add H+ ions to balance the hydrogen ions in the half reaction.

For oxidation-reduction reactions in basic conditions, after balancing the atoms and oxidation numbers, first treat it as an acidic solution and then add OH- ions to balance the H+ ions in the half reactions (which would give H2O).

Examine the following equations.
Alex

Answer: (A) and (D)

Options (A) and (D) represent beta decay.

Explanation:

It is very simple to find  beta decay in a nuclear reaction. In beta decay , neutron breaks down into a proton and an electron. After that electron is emitted from the nucleus,while proton remains inside nucleus. The resulting daughter nuclei will have one more proton and one less neutron.
