From the given pH, we calculate the concentration of H+:
     [H+] = 10^-pH = 10^-5.5
We then use the volume to solve for the number of moles of H+:
     moles H+ = 10^-5.5M * 4.3x10^9 L =  13598 moles
From the balanced equation of the neutralization of hydrogen ion by limestone written as
     CaCO3(s) + 2H+(aq)  → Ca2+(aq) + H2CO3(aq)
we use the mole ratio of limestone CaCO3 and H+ from their coefficients, which is 1 mole of CaCO3 is to react with 2 moles of H+, to compute for the mass of the limestone:
     mass CaCO3 = 13598mol H+(1mol CaCO3/2mol H+)
                               (100.0869g CaCO3/1mol CaCO3)(1kg/1000g) 
                            = 680 kg

What is the mass in grams of 14.2 liters of sulfur dioxide gas at STP?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Mass = 40.4 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass in gram = ?

Volume of SO₂ = 14.2 L

Temperature = standard = 273 K

Pressure =  standard = 1 atm

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

1 atm × 14.2 L = n × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K   × 273 K

14.2 atm.L = n ×  22.41 atm.L/ mol

n = 14.2 atm.L/22.41 atm.L/ mol

n = 0.63 mol

Mass of sulfur dioxide:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.63 mol × 64.1 g/mol

Mass = 40.4 g

What is the volume of HCl gas required to react with excess magnesium metal to produce 6.82 L of hydrogen gas at 2.19 atm and 35
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

2 HCl(g) + Mg(s) → MgCl₂(s) + H₂(g)

Let's calculate the quantity of mole of produced hydrogen with the Ideal Gases Law

P . V = n . R .T

2.19 atm . 6.82L = n . 0.082 . 308K

(2.19 atm . 6.82L) / (0.082 . 308K) = n

0.591 mol = n

1 mol of H₂ gas came from 2 mol of hydrochloric, so, 0.591 mol came from the double of mole

0.591 .2 = 1.182 mole of acid.

Molar mass of HCl = 36.45 g/m

1.182 mole are (36.45 g/m . 1.182g ) contained in 43.1 g

Density HCl = HCl mass / HCl volume

0,118 g/mL = 43.1 g / HCl volume

43.1 g / 0.118 g/mL = 365.3 mL (HCl volume)

<u>Chemistry</u>

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

30 g SiO₂ (sand)

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Molar Mass of Si - 28.09 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of SiO₂ - 28.09 + 2(16.00) = 60.09 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. Set up:                                \displaystyle 30 \ g \ SiO_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ SiO_2}{60.09 \ g \ SiO_2})
  2. Multiply/Divide:                  \displaystyle 0.499251 \ mol \ SiO_2

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig figs and round. We are given 2 sig figs.</em>

0.499251 mol SiO₂ ≈ 0.50 mol SiO₂
