Answer : The pressure in the flask after reaction complete is, 2.4 atm
Explanation :
To calculate the pressure in the flask after reaction is complete we are using ideal gas equation.
where,
P = final pressure in the flask = ?
R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K
T = temperature =
V = volume = 4.0 L
= moles of
= 0.20 mol
= moles of
= 0.20 mol
Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:
Thus, the pressure in the flask after reaction complete is, 2.4 atm
The balanced chemical equation for the production of chromium metal from the reaction of chromium(ll) nitrate reacts with a strip of zinc is:
3 Zn + 2 Cr(NO₃)₃ → 2 Cr + 3 Zn(NO₃)₂
This is a redox reaction, which <u>is a chemical reaction in which one or more electrons are transferred between the reagents</u>, causing a change in their oxidation states. In the proposed reaction, Cr oxidation state goes from +3 to 0, becoming metallic chromium, while Zn goes from being Zn⁰ to Zn²⁺.
<u>The mass of chromium metal produced in the above reaction will be,</u>
425.0 mL x x
x
x
= 5.52 g
So, the mass of chromium metal produced when 425.0mL of 0.25M chromium(ll) nitrate reacts with a strip of zinc that remains in excess is 5.52 g of Cr.
