Answer: The mole fraction of methanol

Xmeth= 0.59

The mole fraction of ethanol

Xeth = 0.41

Explanation:

Mole fraction of a component can be determined by:

Xi = moles of i / total moles of the components the components

Where i indicates the component

An equal mass of 100.0g is assumed for both methanol and ethanol

Molar mass of Methanol (CH4O)

= (1*12) + (4*1) +(1*16) =32g/mol

Mole of Methanol = mass of methanol /molar mass of methanol

=100/32 = 3.13mol.

Molar mass of ethanol ( C2H6O)

= (2*12)+(6*1)+(1*16) = 46.0g/mol

Mole of ethanol = 100/46

= 2.17mol.

Mole fraction of methanol (Xmeth)

= moles of methanol / total moles

Xmeth = 3.13/(3.13+2.17)

Xmeth = 0.59

Mole fraction of ethanol (Xeth)

= moles of ethanol /total moles

= 2.17/((3.13+2.17)

Xeth= 0.41

two kilogram of nasialo4 zeolites are used in a water filter to remove calcium. after complete ion exchange the zeolite is remov
defon

After ion exchange with zeolite in water filter to remove calcium by substitute natrium ion with calcium ion, the weight of zeolite become 1.9578 kg.

ion exchange calculation can be done by using basic stoichiometry if we know how the reaction of the ion exchange. In this case where zeolite with natrium ion will be exchanged with calcium. The reaction of exchange will be like this:

2NaSiAlO_{4} + Ca^{2+} ⇒ Ca(SiAlO_{4}) _{2} + 2Na^{+}

Calculate the molecule weight of both zeolite
Atomic weight data:
Na = 23 gram/mole

Si = 28 gram/mole

Al = 27 gram/mole

O = 16 gram/mole

Ca = 40 gram/mole

Molecule weight

NaSiAlO_{4} = 142 gram/mole

Ca(SiAlO_{4}) _{2} = 278 gram/mole

Calculate mole from 2kg of zeolite with natrium :

2000 gram/ 142 = 14.0845 mole

Based on the stoichiometry, we got the mole of zeolite with calcium:

14.0845 mole x 1/2 = 7.0423 mole

Weight of zeolite after the ion exchanged with calcium:

7.0423 mole x 278 = 1957.8 gram = 1.9578 kg

Hydrogen gas can be prepared by reaction of zinc metal with aqueous HCl:
kow [346]

Answer:

The volume of hydrogen gas generated by given reaction is 9.48 L

Explanation:

Firstly, we calculate the mole of Zinc added, n = 25.5 / 65 = 0.392 mol

With the same equivalent, the mole of generated hydrogen gas will be the same, at 0.392 mol.

Secondly, we get the equation

<em>P . V = n . R . T</em>

with P (pressure, atm), V (volume, litre), n (mole, mol), R (ideal gas constant, 0.082), T (temperature, Kelvin)

So we have to convert the given information to correct unit

P = 742 mmHg = 0.976 atm

T = 15 °C = 288 K

Hence we can calculate the generated volume by

V = n . R . T / P = 0.392 x 0.082 x 288 / 0.976 = 9.48 L

How many electrons does calcium lose when forming an ionic bond with another ion?
Advocard [28]
The correct answer is answer choice B, 2. Calcium is in Column 2, meaning that it has 2 electrons in its outermost energy level. These two electrons must be lost for it to form an ionic bond with another element and become stable.

Questions like these can be easily answered if you have a periodic table on hand. Elements in Column 1 need to lose 1 electron to form ionic bonds, elements in Column 2 need to lose 2, and so on. Keep in mind, however, that elements in the center of the table are more likely to form metallic or covalent bonds, and elements in Columns 16 and 17 need to gain 2 and 1 electrons, respectively.

Complete the chemical equation for the formation reaction of ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH,l) from its constituent elements in their sta
oee [108]

Answer:

2C(s, graphite)+ 3H₂(g) + ½O₂(g) ⟶ C₂H₅OH(ℓ)  

Explanation:

The thermodynamic standard state of elements and compounds is defined as their most stable state at 25 °C and 1 bar

The elements in ethanol, C₂H₅OH, are C, H, and O.

Their most stable states at standard conditions are C₂H₅OH(ℓ), C(s, graphite), H₂(g), and O₂(g)

The equation for the formation of ethanol from its elements is  then

2C(s, graphite) + 3H₂(g) + ½O₂(g) ⟶ C₂H₅OH(ℓ)

Why is argon used in a light bulb? using the terms of the electronic structure of an argon atom.
AVprozaik [17]
 The property of a filament of argon which lasts for a long time than air because argon is inert and will not oxidize the filament even at high temperatures is the key reason why argon is used in light bulbs compared to air which reacts quickly in  the atmosphere.
