Find the formula for calcium and oxygen

1 answer:

8 0

The charge on Calcium is +2. Since, Calcium oxide is a neutral compound, so the charge on Oxygen should be -2. Valency of Oxygen is 2, so a single Oxygen atom can satisfy the need.

Therefore, formula is CaO.

A certain amount of hydrogen peroxide was dissolved in 100. mL of water and then titrated with 1.68 M KMnO4. What mass of H2O2 w

Stels [109]

Answer:

see explanation below

Explanation:

First to all, this is a redox reaction, and the reaction taking place is the following:

2KMnO4 + 3H2SO4 + 5H2O2 -----> 2MnSO4 + K2SO4 + 8H2O + 5O2

According to this reaction, we can see that the mole ratio between the peroxide and the permangante is 5:2. Therefore, if the titration required 21.3 mL to reach the equivalence point, then, the moles would be:

MhVh = MpVp

h would be the hydrogen peroxide, and p the permanganate.

But like it was stated before, the mole ratio is 5:2 so:

5MhVh = 2MpVp

Replacing moles:

5nh = 2MpVp

Now, we just have to replace the given data:

nh = 2MpVp/5

nh = 2 * 1.68 * 0.0213 / 5

nh = 0.0143 moles

Now to get the mass, we just need the molecular mass of the peroxide:

MM = 2*1 + 2*16 = 34 g/mol

Finally the mass:

m = 0.0143 * 34

m = 0.4862 g

How many molecules are in 4.62 moles of nitric acid (HNO3)?

Lena [83]

Answer:

2.8x10^24

Explanation:

To convert moles to molecules, multiply the number of moles by Avagadro's number (6.02x10^23. Round if required.

4.62mol × 6.02x10^23 = 2.8x10^24

Discuss how the following factors determine the rate of electron transfer in biological systems:

Cloud [144]

Answer:check explanation

Explanation:

(a). HOW THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ELECTRON DONOR AND ACCEPTOR AFFECTS THE RATE OF ELECTRON TRANSFER IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEM:

Distance between the acceptor and the donor can affect in two ways; short distance and long distance effect.

Short distance causes

electronic orbitals of donor and acceptor directly overlap whereas in LONG DISTANCE reactions this coupling is indirect because of

sequential overlaps of atomic orbitals of the donor, the intervening medium, and the orbitals of the acceptor.

(b). HOW REORGANIZATION ENERGY OF REDOX ACTIVE SPECIE SURROUNDING MEDIUM AFFECTS:

the reorganized energy does not depend on the pre-existing intra molecule electric field. The charge transferred inside the molecule interacts with its aqueous surroundings.

Reorganized energy can be calculated using Poisson-Boltzmann equation.

Ammonia (NH3) is one of the most common chemicals produced in the united states. it is used to make fertilizer and other product

Greeley [361]

Answer:

a) N2 is the limiting reactant

b) 1215.9 grams NH3

c) 2283.6 grams H2

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of N2 = 1000 grams

Molar mass N2 = 28 g/mol

Mass of H2 = 2500 grams

Molar mass H2 = 2.02 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2(g) +3H2(g) → 2NH3(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles N2

Moles N2 = mass N2 / molar mass N2

Moles N2 = 1000 grams / 28.0 g/mol

Moles N2 = 35.7 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles H2

Moles H2 = 2500 grams / 2.02 g/mol

Moles H2 = 1237.6 moles

Step 5: Calculate limiting reactant

For 1 mol N2 we need 3 moles H2 to produce 2 moles NH3

N2 is the limiting reactant. There will be consumed 35.7 moles.

H2 is in excess. There will react 3*35.7 = 107.1 moles

There will remain 1237.6 - 107.1= 1130.5 moles H2

This is 1130.5 * 2.2 = 2283.6 grams H2

Step 6: Calculate moles NH3

For 1 mol N2 we need 3 moles H2 to produce 2 moles NH3

For 35.7 moles N2 we'll have 2*35.7 = 71.4 moles NH3

Step 7: Calculate mass NH3

Mass NH3 = moles NH3 * molar mass NH3

Mass NH3 = 71.4 moles * 17.03 g/mol

Mass NH3 = 1215.9 grams NH3
