Answer:

The molar mass of the gas is 36.25 g/mol.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the mathematical relation:

ν = $\sqrt{3RT/M}$

Where, ν is the speed of light in a gas (ν = 449 m/s),

R is the universal gas constant (R = 8.314 J/mol.K),

T is the temperature of the gas in Kelvin (T = 20 °C + 273 = 293 K),

M is the molar mass of the gas in (Kg/mol).

ν = $\sqrt{3RT/M}$

(449 m/s) = √ (3(8.314 J/mol.K) (293 K) / M,

by squaring the two sides:

(449 m/s)² = (3 (8.314 J/mol.K) (293 K)) / M,

∴ M = (3 (8.314 J/mol.K) (293 K) / (449 m/s)² = 7308.006 / 201601 = 0.03625 Kg/mol.

∴ The molar mass of the gas is 36.25 g/mol.

The net ionic equation for the given reaction :

$3Mn^{2+}(aq)+2PO_4^{3-}(aq)\rightarrow Mn_3(PO_4)_2(s)$

Explanation:

$3MnI_2(aq)+2Na_3PO_4_2(aq)\rightarrow Mn_3(PO_4)_2(s)+6NaI(aq)$ ...[1]

$MnI_2(aq)\rightarrow Mn^{2+}(aq)+2I^-(aq)$ ..[2]

$Na_3PO_4(aq)\rightarrow 3Na^{+}(aq)+PO_4^{3-}(aq)$ ...[3]

$NaI(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq)+I^-(aq)$

Replacing $MnI_2(aq)$ , NaI and $Na_3PO_4(aq)$ in [1] by usig [2] [3] and [4]

$3Mn^{2+}(aq)+6I^-(aq)+6Na^{+}(aq)+2PO_4^{3-}(aq)\rightarrow Mn_3(PO_4)_2(s)+6Na^+(aq)+6I^-(aq)$

Removing the common ions present ion both the sides, we get the net ionic equation for the given reaction [1]:

$3Mn^{2+}(aq)+2PO_4^{3-}(aq)\rightarrow Mn_3(PO_4)_2(s)$

Answer: $Ca(OH)_2(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow CaCl_2(aq)+2H_2O(l)$

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

A double displacement reaction in which one of the product is formed as a solid is called as precipitation reaction.

The balanced chemical equation is:

$Ca(OH)_2(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow CaCl_2(aq)+2H_2O(l)$

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

103.3 g

Explanation:

Data Given:

Volume of carbon tetrachloride (v) = 65.0 mL

Density of carbon tetrachloride (d) = 1.59 g/cm³

Solution:

Convert volume of carbon tetrachloride from ml to cm³

1 ml = 1 cm³

so,

65.0 mL = 65.0 cm³

Formula used to calculated mass of carbon tetrachloride should be taken for experiment.

d = m/v

Rearrange the above equation:

m = d x v . . . . . . .(1)

Put values in equation 1

m = 1.59 g/cm³ x 65.0 cm³

m = 103.3 g
