Answer:

30 Liters of 40% acid solution and 10 L of 60% acid solution is needed.

Explanation:

Let volume of the 40% acid solution be x.

Let volume of the 60% acid solution be y.

Volume of solution formed after mixing both solution = 40 L

x + y = 40 L..[1]

Volume of acid 40% solution = 40% of x= 0.4x

Volume of acid 60% solution = 60% of y= 0.6y

Volume of acid formed = 45% of 40 L = \frac{45}{100}\times 40=18L

0.4x+0.6y=18 L..[2]

Solving [1] and [2]

x = 30 L  ,   y = 10 L

30 Liters of 40% acid solution and 10 L of 60% acid solution is needed.

How many acetate ions are formed when three formula units of zinc acetate dissociate?
jeyben [28]
A formula unit is the same as the empirical formula of a compound or an ionic molecule. It is the lowest ratio of the atoms in the compound or ion. Zinc acetate ions dissociates into zinc ions and acetate ions. The dissociation reaction is expressed as follows:
Zn(O2CCH3)2 = Zn2+ + 2(O2CCH3)1-

We determine the amount of acetate ions produced as follows:

Moles Zn(O2CCH3)2 = (3 formula units Zn(O2CCH3)2) ( 1 mol / 6.022x10^23 formula units) = 4.98x10^-24 mol Zn(O2CCH3)2
moles (O2CCH3)1- = 4.98x10^-24 mol Zn(O2CCH3)2 ( 2 mol (O2CCH3)1- / 1 mol Zn(O2CCH3)2 ) = 9.96x10^-24 mol (O2CCH3)1-
# of acetate ions = 9.96x10^-24 mol (O2CCH3)1- ( 6.022x10^23 ions / 1 mol (O2CCH3)1-) = 6 acetate ions

Nitrogen dioxide reacts with water to form nitric acid and nitrogen monoxide according to the equation: 3NO2(g)+H2O(l)→2HNO3(l)+
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

5 moles of NO₂ will remain after the reaction is complete

Explanation:

We state the reaction:

3NO₂(g) + H₂O(l) → 2HNO₃(l) + NO(g)

3 moles of nitric oxide can react with 1 mol of water. Ratio is 3:1, so we make this rule of three:

If 3 moles of nitric oxide need 1 mol of water to react

Then, 26 moles of NO₂ may need (26 .1) / 3 = 8.67 moles of H₂O

We have 7 moles of water but we need 8.67 moles, so water is the limiting reactant because we do not have enough. In conclusion, the oxide is the reagent in excess. We can verify:

1 mol of water needs 3 moles of oxide to react

Therefore, 7 moles of water  will need (7 .3)/1 = 21 moles of oxide

We have 26 moles of NO₂ and we need 21, so we still have oxide after the reaction is complete. We will have (26-21) = 5 moles of oxide that remains

How do I do scientific notation
lina2011 [118]
1. First, move the decimal place until you have a number between 1 and 10. If you keep moving the decimal point to the right in 0.0000073 you will get 7.3.
2. Next, count how many places you moved the decimal point.

The stoichiometry of the reaction gives the molar ratio in which the reactants react with each other and the ratio in which products are formed.
The coefficients of the reactants in the reaction follow the stoichiometry 
the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is as follows;
2C₃H₆(g) + 9O₂(g)  ---> 6CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(l)
