Chemistry

Answer:

In aqueous solution the pH scale varies from 0 to 14, which indicates this concentration of hydrogen. Solutions with pH less than 7 are acidic (the value of the exponent of the concentration is higher, because there are more ions in the solution) and alkaline (basic) those with a pH higher than 7. If the solvent is pure water, the pH = 7 indicates neutrality of the solution

Explanation:

PH is a measure of how acidic or basic a liquid is. Specifically, from a dissolution. The acidity of a solution is essentially due to the concentration of hydrogen ions dissolved in it. In reality, the ions are not found alone, but are in the form of hydronium ions consisting of one oxygen molecule and three positively charged hydrogen. PH precisely measures this concentration. And to do it, we can use simple and very visual methods.

What mass, in grams, of CO2 and H2O is formed from 2.55 mol of propane?

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

336.6 grams of CO₂ and 183.6 grams of H₂O are formed from 2.55 moles of propane.

Explanation:

In this case, the balanced reaction is:

C₃H₈ + 5 O₂ → 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of reactant and product participate in the reaction:

C₃H₈: 1 mole
O₂: 5 moles
CO₂: 3 moles
H₂O: 4 moles

Being the molar mass of each compound:

C₃H₈: 44 g/mole
O₂: 16 g/mole
CO₂: 44 g/mole
H₂O: 18 g/mole

Then, by stoichiometry, the following quantities of mass participate in the reaction:

C₃H₈: 1 mole* 44 g/mole= 44 grams
O₂: 5 moles* 16 g/mole= 80 grams
CO₂: 3 moles* 44 g/mole= 132 grams
H₂O: 4 moles* 18 g/mole= 72 grams

So you can apply the following rules of three:

If by stoichiometry 1 mole of C₃H₈ forms 132 grams of CO₂, 2.55 moles of C₃H₈ how much mass of CO₂ will it form?

$mass of CO_{2} =\frac{2.55 moles of C_{3} H_{8}*132 gramsof CO_{2} }{ 1 mole of C_{3} H_{8}}$

mass of CO₂= 336.6 grams

If by stoichiometry 1 mole of C₃H₈ forms 72 grams of H₂O, 2.55 moles of C₃H₈ how much mass of H₂O will it form?

$mass of H_{2}O =\frac{2.55 moles of C_{3} H_{8}*72 gramsof H_{2}O }{ 1 mole of C_{3} H_{8}}$

mass of H₂O= 183.6 grams

336.6 grams of CO₂ and 183.6 grams of H₂O are formed from 2.55 moles of propane.

The concentration of pb2+ in a solution saturated with pbbr2(s) is 2.14 ✕ 10-2 m. calculate ksp for pbbr2.

Ugo [173]

Concentration = 2.14 âś• 10-2 m
For [Br-], there are 2 ions so 2 x 2.14 x 10^-2 =4.28 x 10^-2
Ksp = [Pb][Br]^2 = 2.14 âś• 10-2 x (4.28 x 10^-2 )^2 = 39.20 x 10^-6
Ksp = 3.92 x 10^-5

Which of the following equations has the correct products and is balanced correctly for a reaction between Na3PO4 and KOH?

ASHA 777 [7]

The answer is: A) Na3PO4 + 3KOH → 3NaOH + K3PO4, because K retains the same charge throughout the reaction.

This chemical reaction is double displacement reaction - cations (K⁺ and Na⁺) and anions (PO₄³⁻⁻ and OH⁻) of the two reactants switch places and form two new compounds.

Na₃PO₄ is sodium phosphate.

KOH is potassium hydroxide.

NaOH is sodium hydroxide.

K₃PO₄ is potassium phosphate.

According to the mass conservation law, there are same number of atoms on both side of balanced chemical reaction.
