A flash contains 85.6g of C7H5NO3S (Saccharine) in 2.00 litre of a solution. What is the molarity?

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

0.234 M

Explanation:

C- 12.009 x 7

H- 1.001 x 5

N- 14.006

O- 16 x 3

S- 32.059

___________+

183.133 g/mol

$\frac{1mol}{183.133g} *\frac{85.6g}{2.00L}$ = 0.234 M Cancel out the grams mol/L equals molarity. Lowest significant figure is 3

The compound adrenaline contains 56.79% c, 6.56% h, 28.37% o, and 8.28% n by mass. what is the empirical formula for adrenaline?

Phoenix [80]

To determine the empirical formula of the compound given, we need to determine the ratio of each element in the compound. To do that we assume to have 100 grams sample of the compound with the given composition. Then, we calculate for the number of moles of each element. We do as follows:
mass moles
C 56.79 4.73
H 6.56 6.50
O 28.37 1.77
N 8.28 0.59

Dividing the number of moles of each element with the smallest value, we will have the empirical formula:

 moles ratio
C 4.73 / 0.59 8
H 6.50 / 0.59 11
O 1.77 / 0.59 3
N 0.59 / 0.59 1

The empirical formula would be C8H11O3N.

In a titration of 0.5 M HCl and an unknown concentration NaOH, 25.0 ml of NaOH was required to completely neutralize 25.0 ml of

baherus [9]

When an acid is neutralized by a base, that means moles of H+ = moles of OH-

moles of H+ = 0.5 M * 0.025 L HCl = 0.0125 moles H+

moles of OH- should be equal to 0.0125 moles, so
0.0125 moles = (x) * 0.025 L NaOH

x is the concentration of NaOH, which we want to find.

x = 0.5 M

The correct answer is C) 0.5 M.

Write the complete ionic equations, spectator ions and net ionic equation for the following.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) ZnBr₂ (aq) + AgNO₃ (aq)

Chemical equation:

ZnBr₂ (aq) + AgNO₃ (aq) →Zn(NO₃)₂(aq) + AgBr(s)

Balanced chemical equation:

ZnBr₂ (aq) + 2AgNO₃ (aq) →Zn(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2AgBr(s)

Ionic equation:

Zn²⁺(aq) + Br₂²⁻ (aq) + 2Ag⁺ (aq)+ 2NO⁻₃ (aq) → Zn²⁺(aq) +(NO₃)₂²⁻(aq) + 2AgBr(s)

Net ionic equation:

Br₂²⁻ (aq) + 2Ag⁺ (aq) → 2AgBr(s)

The Zn²⁺((aq) and NO⁻₃ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The AgBr can not be splitted into ions because it is present in solid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.

2) HgCl₂ (aq) + KI (aq) →

Chemical equation:

HgCl₂ (aq) + KI (aq) → KCl + HgI₂

Balanced chemical equation:

HgCl₂ (aq) + 2KI (aq) → 2KCl(aq) + HgI₂(s)

Ionic equation:

Hg²⁺(aq) + Cl₂²⁻ (aq) + 2K⁺(aq) + 2I⁻ (aq) → HgI₂ (s) + 2K⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻ (aq)

Net ionic equation:

Hg²⁺(aq) + 2I⁻ (aq) → HgI₂ (s)

The Cl⁻ ((aq) and K⁺ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The HgI₂ (s) can not be splitted into ions because it is present in solid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.

3) Ca(OH)₂ (aq) + Na₂SO₄ (aq)

Chemical equation:

Ca(OH)₂ (aq) + Na₂SO₄ (aq) → CaSO₄(s) + NaOH(aq)

Balanced chemical equation:

Ca(OH)₂ (aq) + Na₂SO₄ (aq) → CaSO₄(s) + 2NaOH(aq)

Ionic equation:

Ca²⁺(aq) + OH₂²⁻ (aq) + 2Na⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq) → CaSO₄(s) + 2Na⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq)

Net ionic equation:

Ca²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq) → CaSO₄(s)

The OH⁻ ((aq) and Na⁺ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The CaSO₄ can not be splitted into ions because it is present in solid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.
