Answer:

Insoluble in water:

BaSO4

PbCl2

Cu2O

AgBr

Explanation:

Water turns out to be a good solvent for ionic substances, or in general, polarized covalent substances. On the other hand, it is not a good solvent for non-polar substances, these being the vast majority of covalent substances.

Given the standard enthalpy changes for the following two reactions: (1) 2Fe(s) + O2(g)2FeO(s)...... ΔH° = -544.0 kJ (2) 2Zn(s)

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

-76.3 kJ

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

Given the standard enthalpy changes for the following two reactions:

(1) 2Fe(s) + O₂(g) → 2FeO(s)......ΔH° = -544.0 kJ

(2) 2Zn(s) + O₂(g) → 2ZnO(s)......ΔH° = -696.6 kJ. What is the standard enthalpy change for the reaction:

(3) FeO(s) + Zn(s) → Fe(s) + ZnO(s)......ΔH° = ?

Solution

Since (1) 2Fe(s) + O₂(g) → 2FeO(s)......ΔH° = -544.0 kJ

reversing the reaction, we have

2FeO(s) → 2Fe(s) + O₂(g) ......ΔH° = +544.0 kJ (4)

Adding reactions (2) and (3), we have

2FeO(s) → 2Fe(s) + O₂(g) ......ΔH° = +544.0 kJ (4)

2Zn(s) + O₂(g) → 2ZnO(s)......ΔH° = -696.6 kJ (2)

This gives

2FeO(s) + 2Zn(s) → 2Fe(s) + 2ZnO(s)......ΔH° =

The enthalpy change for this reaction is the sum of enthalpy changes for reaction (2) and (3) = ΔH° = +544.0 kJ + (-696.6 kJ)

= +544.0 kJ - 696.6 kJ)

= -152.6 kJ

Since the required reaction is (3) which is FeO(s) + Zn(s) → Fe(s) + ZnO(s)

we divide the enthalpy change for reaction (4) by 2 to obtain the enthalpy change for reaction (3).

So, ΔH° = -152.6 kJ/2 = -76.3 kJ

So, the standard enthalpy change for the reaction

FeO(s) + Zn(s) → Fe(s) + ZnO(s) is -76.3 kJ

If there are 1.55 x 1024 molecules of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), what is the mass of the<br>sample?

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

87.54 g of H₂O₂

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of molecules = 1.55×10²⁴ molecules

Mass of H₂O₂ =.?

From Avogadro's hypothesis,

6.02×10²³ molecules = 1 mole of H₂O₂

Next, we shall determine the mass of 1 mole of H₂O₂. This can be obtained as follow:

1 mole of H₂O₂ = (2×1) + (2×16)

= 2 + 32

= 34 g

Thus,

6.02×10²³ molecules = 34 g of H₂O₂

Finally, we shall determine mass of H₂O₂ that contains 1.55×10²⁴ molecules. This can be obtained as follow:

6.02×10²³ molecules = 34 g of H₂O₂

Therefore,

1.55×10²⁴ molecules

= (1.55×10²⁴ × 34)/6.02×10²³

1.55×10²⁴ molecules = 87.54 g of H₂O₂

Thus, 87.54 g of H₂O₂ contains 1.55×10²⁴ molecules.

Metals react with oxygen to give oxides with the general formula MxOy. What is a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of

katovenus [111]

Answer: $4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here iron is having an oxidation state of +3 called as $Fe^{3+}$ cation and oxide $O^{2-}$ is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $Fe_2O_3$ .

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

$2Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$
