<u>Answer:</u> Amount of NaBH_4 required will be 66.2025 g

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

1 equivalent of NaBH_4 can reduce 4 equivalents of carbonyl functional groups.

Benzil has 2 carbonyl functional groups. Thus, 1 equivalent of NaBH_4 will reduce 2 equivalents of benzil.

Moles of Benzil given = 0.35 mmol = 3.5\times 10^{-4}mol    (Conversion factor: 1 mol = 1000 mmol)

By Stoichiometry:

2 moles of benzil reacts with 1 mole of NaBH_4

So, 3.5\times 10^{-4}mol of benzil will react with = \frac{1}{2}\times 3.5\times 10^{-4}=1.75\times 10^{-4}mol of NaBH_4

To calculate the mass of NaBH_4, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Moles of NaBH_4=1.75\times 10^{-4}mol

Molar mass of NaBH_4 = 37.83 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.75\times 10^{-4}mol=\frac{\text{Mass of }NaBH_4}{37.83g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of }NaBH_4=66.2025g

Hence, amount of NaBH_4 required will be 66.2025 g

soldi70 [24.7K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Concept tested: Balancing of chemical equations

  • A chemical equation is balanced by putting appropriate coefficients on the products and reactants of the equation.
  • Balancing chemical equations ensures that chemical equations obey law of conservation of mass.
  • In this case; to balance the above equation we put the coefficients, 1, 3, 2, and 3 on the reactants and products.
  • Therefore; the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is;

      Fe₂O₃(s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe(s) + 3CO₂(g)

When heated to 150 ºC, CuSO4.5 H2O loses its water of hydration as gaseous H2O. A 2.50 g sample of the compound is placed in a s
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Water pressure 0.5 atm

Total Pressure= 2.27  atm

Explanation:

To answer this problem, one has to realize that there are two processes that increase the temperature of the sealed vessel.

First, the dry air in the sealed vessel will be heated which will cause its pressure to increase and it can be determined by the equation:

P₁ x T₂   = P₂ x T₁  ∴  P₂ =  P₁ x T₂ / T₁

For the second process, we have an amount of n moles of water which will be released when the copper sulfate is heated. In this case, to determine the value of the the water gas we will use the gas law:

   PV = nRT  ∴ P =  nRT/V

n will we calculated from the quantity of sample.

2.50 g  CuSo₄ 5H₂O x  1 mol/ 249.69 g = 0.01 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O

the amount water of hydration is

= 0.01 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O * 5 mol H₂O / 1 mol CuSo₄ 5H₂O

= 0.05 mo H₂O

pressure of dry air at the final temperature,

P₂ = 1 atm x 500 K/ 300 K = 1.67 atm

Pressure of water :

P (H₂O) 0.05 mol x 0.08206 Latm/kmol x 500 K/ 4 L = 0.5 atm

∴ Total Pressure =  1.67 atm

H2O Pressure = 0.5 atm

Sodium electron configuration in longhand notation
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Na₁₁ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹

Explanation:

Sodium is present in group 1.

It is alkali metal.

It has one valence electron.

The atomic number of sodium is 11.

Its atomic mass is 23 amu.

The longhand notation of electronic configuration of sodium can be written as,

Na₁₁ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹

The electronic configuration in shorthand notation( noble gas) would be written as,

Na₁₁ = [Ne] 3s¹

Sodium loses its one valence electron to complete the octet and get stable thus form +1 cation.

It react with halogen and form salt. Such as sodium chloride.

2Na + Cl₂  →  2NaCl

When do epa’s refrigerant management regulations exempt refrigerant from the venting prohibition
Xelga [282]

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) refrigerant management regulations would exempt any refrigerant from venting problem when it determines that the refrigerant in an appliance do not pose a threat to the environment (surrounding) if released.

A refrigerant can be defined as any chemical substance that undergoes a phase change (liquid and gas) so as to enable the cooling and freezing of materials. They are typically used in air conditioners, refrigerators, water dispensers, etc.

In the United States of America, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is a governmental agency which was established by U.S Congress and it is saddled with the responsibility of overseeing all aspects of pollution, environmental clean up, degradation, pesticide use, contamination, and hazardous waste spills. Also, EPA research solutions, policy development, and enforcement of regulations through the resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

Simply stated, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the governmental agency set up to ensure that various industries, factories and people comply with laws and regulations concerning the environment.

In conclusion, appliances such as a refrigerator, air conditioner (AC), etc., whose refrigerants do not pose a threat (potentially cause damage) to the environment if released are typically exempted by the EPA's refrigerant management regulations.
