Answer:

m_{H_3PO_4}=31.5gH_3PO_4

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

P_2O_5(s)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2H_3PO_4(aq)

Thus, since the diphosphorus pentoxide to water molar ratio is 1:3 and we are given the mass of both of them, for the calculation of the maximum mass phosphoric acid that is yielded, one could first identify the limiting reactant, for which we compute the available moles of diphosphorus pentoxide (molar mass 142 g/mol):

n_{P_2O_5}=22.8gP_2O_5*\frac{1molP_2O_5}{142gP_2O_5}=0.161molP_2O_5

And the moles of diphosphorus pentoxide that are consumed by 13.5 g of water (molar mass 18 g/mol):

n_{P_2O_5}^{consumed}=13.5gH_2O*\frac{1molH_2O}{18gH_2O}*\frac{1molP_2O_5}{3molH_2O}  =0.25molP_2O_5

Hence, since less moles of diphosphorus pentoxide are available, we sum up it is the limiting reactant, therefore, the maximum mass of phosphoric acid (molar mass 98 g/mol) is computed by considering the 1:2 molar ratio between them as follows:

m_{H_3PO_4}=0.161molP_2O_5*\frac{2molH_3PO_4}{1molP_2O_5} *\frac{98gH_3PO_4}{1molH_3PO_4} \\\\m_{H_3PO_4}=31.5gH_3PO_4

Regards.

How many valence electrons do the halogens possess?
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

<em></em>

<em></em>

  • <em>The halogens posses </em><u><em>seven </em></u><em>valence electrons</em>

Explanation:

  • <em>Valence electrons </em>are the electrons in the outermost orbitals of the atoms, which are the orbitals with the highest main energy level (principal quantum number).

  • Halogens are the elements of the group 17 of the periodic table: F, Cl, Br, I, At.

  • You can tell the number of valence electrons of the representative elements from the number of the group to which they belong. For the representative elements, the number of valence electrons equal the unit digit of the group number.

        This table summarizes it:

Group number        number of valence electrons

     1                                      1

     2                                     2

    13                                     3

    14                                     4

    15                                     5

    16                                     6

    17                                      7

    18                                      8

  • So, in conclusion, <em>the halogens possess 7 valence electrons.</em>

Determine whether or not each mixture is a buffer. check all that apply. check all that apply. koh and nh3 hbr and nacl hcl and
erastova [34]
A buffer is usually composed of either:
- a weak base combined with its conjugate acid, or
- a weak acid combined with its conjugate base

Now, examining each of the choices:
1- KOH and NH3: since they are both bases, thus this mixture is not a buffer
2- HBr and NaCl: since HBr is a strong acid while NaCl is the salt of another different acid, thus this mixture is not a buffer
3- HCl and HBr: these are both considered to be strong acid, thus this mixture is not a buffer
4- HCHO2 and NaCHO2: as for HCH02, it is considered a weak base while NaCHO2 is considered its conjugate base, thus this mixture is a buffer
