Answer:

The percent yield of carbon disulfide is 78.8%

Explanation:

Percent yield of reaction = (Produced yield / Theoretical yield) . 100

5C + 2SO₂ --> CS₂ + 4CO

In the reaction 5 moles of C, produce 1 mol of CS₂

40 g / 12 g/m = 3.33 moles

Then, this is the rule of three:

5 mol of C produce 1 mol of CS₂

3.33 moles of C, will produce ( 3.33 .1)/5 = 0.666 moles

Mol . molar mass = mass → 0.666 mol . 76.12 g/m =50.7 g (Theoretical yield)

(40 g / 50.7 g) . 100 = 78.8%

Calculate the number of grams of sodium chloride in the solution. (Hint: Remember that sodium chloride is a strong electrolyte.)

creativ13 [48]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A solution contains 0.115 mol $H_2O$ and an unknown number of moles of sodium chloride. The vapor pressure of the solution at 30°C is 25.7 torr. The vapor pressure of pure water at this temperature is 31.8 torr. Calculate the number of grams of sodium chloride in the solution. (Hint: Remember that sodium chloride is a strong electrolyte.)

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of sodium chloride in the solution is 0.714 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be:

$\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=i\times \chi_{\text{solute}}$

where,

$p^o$ = vapor pressure of solvent (water) = 31.8 torr

$p^s$ = vapor pressure of the solution = 25.7 torr

i = Van't Hoff factor = 2

$\chi_{\text{solute}}$ = mole fraction of solute (sodium chloride) = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{31.8-25.7}{31.8}=2\times \chi_{NaCl}\\\\\chi_{NaCl}=0.0959$

Mole fraction of a substance is calculated by using the equation:

$\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}$

$\chi_{\text{NaCl}}=\frac{n_{\text{NaCl}}}{n_{\text{NaCl}}+n_{\text{water}}}$

We are given:

Moles of water = 0.115 moles

$0.0959=\frac{n_{\text{NaCl}}}{n_{\text{NaCl}}+0.115}\\\\n_{\text{NaCl}}=0.0122mol$

To calculate the mass for given number of moles, we use the equation:

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

Moles of NaCl = 0.0122 moles

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0122mol=\frac{\text{Mass of NaCl}}{58.5g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of NaCl}(0.0122mol\times 58.5g/mol)=0.714g$

Hence, the mass of sodium chloride in the solution is 0.714 grams

Compare the evaporation of a contained liquid with that of an uncontained liquid.

vekshin1

Answer: all other conditions equal, the rate evaporation of a contained liquid will be slower than the rate of evaporation of an uncontained liquid.

Justification:

1) The rate of evaporation increases as the surface area of the liquid (relative to the whole content) increases. This is, the greater the surface is the faster the evaporation.

2) That is so because the higher the surface of the liquid the more the number of particles in the liquid that are in contact with the surrounding air and so the more the particles will escape from the liquid to the air (which is what evaporation is).

3) A liquid contained will take the form of the container, so part of the liquid wil remain below the surface, while an uncontained liquid will spread all over the surface and so pratically all the liquid is in contact witht the air surrounding it.

Define the following: Bronsted-Lowry acid - Lewis acid- Strong acid - (5 points) Problem 6: Consider the following acid base rea

Allushta [10]

Answer: Yes, $HCl$ is a strong acid.

acid = $HCl$ , conjugate base = $Cl^-$ , base = $H_2O$ , conjugate acid = $H_3O^+$

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

Yes $HCl$ is a strong acid as it completely dissociates in water to give $H^+$ ions.

$HCl\rightarrow H^++Cl^-$

For the given chemical equation:

$HCl+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^-+Cl^-$

Here, $HCl$ is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms $Cl^-$ which is a conjugate base.

And, $H_2O$ is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after gaining a proton, it forms $H_3O^+$ which is a conjugate acid.

Thus acid = $HCl$

conjugate base = $Cl^-$

base = $H_2O$

conjugate acid = $H_3O^+$ .

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

$1.7\cdot 10^{15} g$

Explanation:

Glucose reacts with oxygen do produce carbon dioxide and water:

$C_6H_12O_6 (s) + 6 O_2 (g)\rightarrow 6 CO_2 (g) + 6 H_2O (l)$

Given a daily mass of glucose:

$m_1 = 5.0\cdot 10^2 g$

Find moles of glucose:

$n_1 = {5.0\cdot 10^2 g}{180.156 g/mol} = 2.775 mol$

From stoichiometry of this equation, moles of carbon dioxide can be found by multiplying this amount by 6:

$n_2 = 2.775 mol\cdot 6=16.65 mol$

Convert this into mass using the molar mass of carbon dioxide:

$m_2 = 16.65 mol\cdot 44.01 g/mol = 732.8 g$

This is the mass of carbon dioxide per person per day. Multiply by the population and by the number of days to get the total mass:

$732.8 \frac{g}{person\cdot day}\cdot 365 days\cdot 6.5\cdot 10^9 people = 1.7\cdot 10^{15} g$
