Answer:

0.88 g

Explanation:

Using ideal gas equation to calculate the moles of chlorine gas produced as:-

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 805 Torr

V = Volume of the gas = 235 mL = 0.235 L

T = Temperature of the gas = 25^oC=[25+273]K=298K

R = Gas constant = 62.3637\text{torr}mol^{-1}K^{-1}

n = number of moles of chlorine gas = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

805torr\times 0.235L=n\times 62.3637\text{ torrHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 298K\\\\n=\frac{805\times 0.235}{62.3637\times 298}=0.01017\ mol

According to the reaction:-

MnO_2+4HCl\rightarrow MnCl_2+2H_2O+Cl_2

1 mole of chlorine gas is produced when 1 mole of manganese dioxide undergoes reaction.

So,

0.01017 mole of chlorine gas is produced when 0.01017 mole of manganese dioxide undergoes reaction.

Moles of MnO_2 = 0.01017 moles

Molar mass of MnO_2 = 86.93685 g/mol

So,

Mass=Moles\times Molar\ mass

Applying values, we get that:-

Mass=0.01017moles \times 86.93685\ g/mol=0.88\ g

<u>0.88 g of MnO_2(s) should be added to excess HCl (aq) to obtain 235 mL of Cl_2(g) at 25 degrees C and 805 Torr.</u>

A charged object (like a balloon that's been rubbed on the wall) cant attract an object with a net neutral charge (neither posit
UNO [17]

Answer: A balloon is charged by a process of frictional charging and the object is getting charged by the process of induction.

Explanation:

When two bodies are rubbed against each other, charging by friction or rubbing occurs. The electropositive object loses electrons to electronegative object. Thus, when balloon is rubbed on a wall, it becomes charged.

The charged balloon is able to attract an uncharged object by inducing charge on it without the two objects touching each other. Electrostatic force acts between two charged objects. Charged balloon causes electrons to move at one end thereby inducing opposite charge in the object and thus, charged balloon is able to attract uncharged object.

What type of intermolecular forces are due to
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

A. London dispersion

Explanation:

London dispersion force is a temporary attractive force that results when the electrons in two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form temporary dipoles.

water’s molar mass is 18.01 g/mol. The molar mass of glycerol is 92.09 g/mol. At 25 celsius, glycerol is more viscous than water
Gemiola [76]

Answer is: glycerol because it is more viscous and has a larger molar mass.

Viscosity depends on intermolecular interactions.

The predominant intermolecular force in water and glycerol is hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups in which one group has hydrogen atom (H) and another group has highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen (like in this molecule), oxygen (O) or fluorine (F).
