How could you safely determine if a base is stronger than an acid?

1 answer:

4 0

Combine the two solutions. If the resulting salt is basic, you know the base was stronger. If you end up with an acidic salt, the acid was stronger.

What is the theoretical yield of fluorenone if you oxidize 175 mg of fluorene?

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

602 mg of CO₂ and 94.8 mg of H₂O

Explanation:

The yield is measured by the amount of each product produced by the reaction.

The chemical formula of fluorene is C₁₃H₁₀, and its molar mass is 166.223 g/mol.

The oxidation, also know as combustion, of this hydrocarbon is represented by the following balanced chemical equation:

$2C_{13}H_{10}+31O_2\rightarrow 26CO_2+10H_2O$

To calculate the yield follow these steps:

1. Mole ratio

$2molC_{13}H_{10}:31molO_2:26molCO_2:10molH_2O$

2. Convert 175mg of fluorene to number of moles

$175mg/times 1g/1,000mg=0.175g$

Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

$\text{number of moles}=0.175g/166.223g/mol=0.0010528mol$

3. Set a proportion for each product of the reaction

a) For CO₂

i) number of moles

$2molC_{10}H_{13}/26molCO_2=0.0010528molC_{10}H{13}/x$

$x=0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times 26molCO_2/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.013686molCO_2$

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01g/mol

mass = number of moles × molar mass

mass = 0.013686 moles × 44.01 g/mol = 0.602 g = 602mg

b) For H₂O

i) number of moles

$0.0010528molC_{10}H_{13}\times10molH_2O/2molC_{10}H_{13}=0.00526molH_2O$

ii) mass in grams

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.015g/mol

mass = number of moles × molar mass

mass = 0.00526 moles × 18.015 g/mol = 0.0948mg = 94.8 mg

A 5.000 g sample of Niso4 H2O decomposed to give 2.755 g of anhydrous NiSO4.

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

a) 7.0.

b) Nickel sulfate hepta hydrate.

c) 280.83 g/mol.

d) 44.9%.

Explanation:

a) What is the formula of the hydrate?

The mass of the hydrated sample (NiSO₄.xH₂O) = 5.0 g,

The mass of the anhydrous salt (NiSO₄) = 2.755 g,

The mass of water = 5.0 g - 2.755 g = 2.245 g.

∴ no. of moles of water = mass/molar mass = (2.245 g)/(18.0 g/mol) = 0.1247 mol.

∴ no. of moles of anhydrous salt (NiSO₄) = mass/molar mass = (2.755 g)/(154.75 g/mol) = 0.0178 mol.

∴ water of crystallization in the sample (x) = no. of moles of water/no. of moles of anhydrous salt (NiSO₄) = (0.1247 mol)/(0.0178 mol) = 7.0.

b) What is the full chemical name for the hydrate?

The name of the salt (NiSO₄.7H₂O) is Nickel sulfate hepta hydrate.

c) What is the molar mass of the hydrate?

(NiSO₄.7H₂O)

The molar mass = molar mass of NiSO₄ + 7(molar mass of H₂O) = (154.75 g/mol) + 7(18.0 g/mol) = 280.83 g/mol.

d) What is the mass % of water in the hydrate?

The mass % of water = (mass of water)/(mass of hydrated sample) x 100 = (2.245 g)/(5.0 g) x 100 = 44.9%.
