Answer:
Mg
Explanation:
The standard reduction potentials are
<u>E°/V
</u>
Au³⁺(aq ) + 3e⁻ ⟶ Au(s); 1.42
Hg²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⟶ Hg(l); 0.85
Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ ⟶ Ag(s); 0.80
Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⟶ Cu(s); 0.34
Mg2+(aq) + 2e- ⟶ Mg(s); -2.38
The more negative the standard reduction potential, the stronger the metal is as a reducing agent.
Mg is the only metal with a standard reduction potential lower than that of Cu, so
Only Mg will react spontaneously with Cu²⁺.
The balanced equation for the reaction between Mg and HCl is as follows
Mg + 2HCl --> MgCl₂ + H₂
stoichiometry of HCl to H₂ is 2:1
number of HCl moles reacted - 0.400 mol/L x 0.100 L = 0.04 mol of HCl
since Mg is in excess HCl is the limiting reactant
number of H₂ moles formed - 0.04/2 = 0.02 mol of H₂
we can use ideal gas law equation to find the volume of H₂
PV = nRT
where
P - pressure - 1 atm x 101 325 Pa/atm = 101 325 Pa
V - volume
n - number of moles - 0.02 mol
R - universal gas constant - 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹
T - temperature in Kelvin - 0 °C + 273 = 273 K
substituting these values in the equation
101 325 Pa x V = 0.02 mol x 8.314 Jmol⁻¹K⁻¹ x 273 K
V = 448 x 10⁻⁶ m³
V = 448 mL
therefore answer is
c. 448 mL
Answer:
- 130.64°C.
Explanation:
- We can use the general law of ideal gas:<em> PV = nRT.</em>
where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.
V is the volume of the gas in L.
n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.
R is the general gas constant,
T is the temperature of the gas in K.
- If n and P are constant, and have two different values of V and T:
<em>V₁T₂ = V₂T₁</em>
<em></em>
V₁ = 634.0 L, T₁ = 21.0°C + 273 = 294.0 K.
V₂ = 307.0 L, T₂ = ??? K.
<em>∴ T₂ = V₂T₁/V₁ </em>= (307.0 L)(294.0 K)/(634.0 L) = <em>142.36 K.</em>
<em>∴ T₂(°C) = 142.36 K - 273 = - 130.64°C.</em>
