Answer:

Q1. D) A single replacement reaction takes place because sodium is more reactive than hydrogen.

Explanation: $2Na+2H_2O\rightarrow 2NaOH+H_2$ Sodium metal reacts with water to givesodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. A single replacement reaction takes place because sodium is more reactive than hydrogen.

Sodium easily lose electrons than hydrogen and get oxidized to $Na^+$ and $H^+$ get reduced to give $H_2$ .

Q2. B) It is a single replacement reaction, and the cations in the two ionic compounds are different.

Explanation: $3Na+AlCl_3\rightarrow 3NaCl+Al$ where Sodium is a metal and $AlCl_3$ is an ionic compound. Na being more reactive than Al, displaces it from its salt solution.

Q3. D) $Zn+H_2SO_4\rightarrow ZnSO_4+H_2$

Explanation: A single replacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution.Thus zinc can easily lose electrons as compared to hydrogen and result in the formation of zinc sulfate and hydrogen.

Q4. False

$Zn+CaCl_2\rightarrow$ no reaction

Explanation: As zinc lies lower in reactivity series, it is less reactive than calcium. It will not be able to displace calcium from its salt and hence no reaction occur. Thus the given statement is false.

Q5. False

Explanation: A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. Thus an element replaces another element and not same element.

A single replacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus one element should be different from another element.

Q6. A) $Na_3PO_4+3KOH\rightarrow 3NaOH+K_3PO_4$ , because K retains the same charge throughout the reaction

Explanation: A balanced chemical reaction is one in which the number of atoms on both sides of a chemical equation are same. Also K has an oxidation state or charge of +1 in $KOH$ as well as $K_3PO_4$

Explain why a solution has a lower boiling point than the pure solvent

KonstantinChe [14]

Because the intention is to boil the solution, the purpose of the solvent is to dissolve so it has a higher boiling point so ensure it stays in liquid form and doesn't evaporate into a gas

also, a pure solvent is made of 1 substance so it has 1 boiling point and the solution must evaporate/boil first

Many computer chips are manufactured from silicon, which occurs in nature as SiO2. When SiO2 is heated to melting, it reacts wit

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

A) SiO2 is the limiting reactant

B) Theoretical yield= 72333.3g

C) % yield =91.5%

Explanation:

SiO2(s) + 2C(s) --------------> Si(s) + 2CO(g)

n(SiO2)= 155000/60 = 2583.33 mols

n(C)= 79000/12= 3291.66 mols

a)SiO2 is the limiting reactant

According to the balanced reaction equation,

60g of SiO2 produced 28g of SiO2

155000g of SiO2 will produce 155000×28/60= 72333.3g

Therefore theoretical yield of Si= 72333.3g

% yield= 66200/72333.3×100/1 =91.5%

TRUE FALSE? The MOLE is a unit in Chemistry that serves as a bridge between the ATOMIC and MACROSCOPIC worlds?

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A mole is defined as 6.02214076 × 1023 of some chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a convenient unit to use because of the great number of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.

How much energy is needed to raise the temperature of 125g of water from 25.0oC to 35.0oC? The specific heat of water is 4.184

Anvisha [2.4K]

Hello!

To find the amount of energy need to raise the temperature of 125 grams of water from 25.0° C to 35.0° C, we will need to use the formula: q = mcΔt.

In this formula, q is the heat absorbed, m is the mass, c is the specific heat, and Δt is the change in temperature, which is found by final temperature minus the initial temperature.

Firstly, we can find the change in temperature. We are given the initial temperature, which is 25.0° C and the final temperature, which is 35.0° C. It is found by subtract the final temperature from the initial temperature.

35.0° C - 25.0° C = 10.0° C

We are also given the specific heat and the grams of water. With that, we can substitute the given values into the equation and multiply.

q = 125 g × 4.184 J/g °C × 10.0° C

q = 523 J/°C × 10.0° C

q = 5230 J

Therefore, it will take 5230 joules (J) to raise the temperature of the water.

The acceleration of a sprinter is 10 m/s2. The force exerted on the starting blocks is 650 N. What is the mass of the sprinter?

jek_recluse [69]

The relation between force, mass of an object and its acceleration is given by following equation

F = mass of object X acceleration

The unit of Force is Newton (N)

unit of acceleration is ms⁻²

unit of mass if Kg

[all these are SI units]

Mass of object = $\frac{Force}{acceleration}$

mass of sprinter = $\frac{650}{10}=65kg$
