Answer:

  • 2K(s) + (1/8) S₈ (s) + (3/2) O₂(g)  →  K₂SO₃ (s)

Explanation:

The<em> standard enthalpy of formation </em>of a substance is the change in enthalpy that happens when one mole of the substance is formed from the elements in their standard states.

Thus, to calculate the standard state of formation of a compound you must:

  • 1. Identify the elements that form the compound
  • 2. Identify the standard form of each element
  • 3. Set the equation to form one mole of the compound, which may require to use fractional coefficients for some of the elements.

Applying that to our compound K₂SO₃

<u>1. Elements:</u>

  • potassium, K;
  • sulfur, S; and
  • oxygen, O.

<u />

<u>2. Standard forms of the elements:</u>

  • potassium: solid, K(s)
  • sulfur: solid, octatomic molecules, S₈ (s)
  • oxygen: diatomic gas, O₂(g)

<u>3. Reaction:</u>

  • K(s) + S₈ (s) + O₂(g)  →  K₂SO₃ (s)

Balance, keeping one mole of  K₂SO₃. You will need to use fractional coefficients for some elements:

  • 2K(s) + (1/8) S₈ (s) + (3/2) O₂(g)  →  K₂SO₃ (s) ← answer

Gnesinka [82]

<u>Answer:</u> The molarity of citric acid that is commercially available lemon juice is 0.416 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is C_6H_8O_7

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

n_1=3\\M_1=?M\\V_1=20.00mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=1.751M\\V_2=14.26mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

3\times M_1\times 20.00=1\times 1.751\times 14.26\\\\M_1=\frac{1\times 1.751\times 14.26}{3\times 20.00}=0.416M

Hence, the molarity of citric acid that is commercially available lemon juice is 0.416 M

An iron chloride compound contains 55.85 grams of iron and 106.5 grams of chlorine. What is the most likely empirical formula fo
mart [117]

Answer:

FeCl_{3}

Explanation:

Moles =\frac {Given\ mass}{Molar\ mass}

mass of Fe = 55.85 g

Molar mass of Fe = 55.85 g/mol

<u>Moles of Fe = 55.85 / 55.85 = 1</u>

mass of Cl = 106.5 g

Molar mass of Cl = 35.5 g/mol

Moles of Cl = 106.5 / 35.5 = 3

Taking the simplest ratio for Fe and Cl as:

1 : 3

The empirical formula is = FeCl_{3}
