Which is most likely why many scientists reject the cold fusion theory?

1 answer:

4 0

Because many calculations using conventional theory shown that even though a little fusion may take place under low-energy condition, the amount required to reach the claimed heat in cold fusion theory is impossible, which make many Scientist doubt this theory

Determine the theoretical yield of HCl if 60.0 g of BC13 and 37.5 g of H20 are reacted according to the following balanced react

Pie

Answer : The theoretical yield of HCl is, 56.1735 grams

Explanation : Given,

Mass of $BCl_3$ = 60 g

Mass of $H_2O$ = 37.5 g

Molar mass of $BCl_3$ = 117 g/mole

Molar mass of $H_2O$ = 18 g/mole

Molar mass of $HCl$ = 36.5 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of $BCl_3$ and $H_2O$ .

$\text{Moles of }BCl_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }BCl_3}{\text{Molar mass of }BCl_3}=\frac{60g}{117g/mole}=0.513moles$

$\text{Moles of }H_2O=\frac{\text{Mass of }H_2O}{\text{Molar mass of }H_2O}=\frac{37.5g}{18g/mole}=2.083moles$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$BCl_3(g)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_3BO_3(s)+3HCl(g)$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of $BCl_3$ react with 3 mole of $H_2O$

So, 0.513 moles of $BCl_3$ react with $3\times 0.513=1.539$ moles of $H_2O$

From this we conclude that, $H_2O$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $BCl_3$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $HCl$ .

As, 1 mole of $BCl_3$ react to give 3 moles of $HCl$

So, 0.513 moles of $BCl_3$ react to give $3\times 0.513=1.539$ moles of $HCl$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $HCl$ .

$\text{Mass of }HCl=\text{Moles of }HCl\times \text{Molar mass of }HCl$

$\text{Mass of }HCl=(1.539mole)\times (36.5g/mole)=56.1735g$

Therefore, the theoretical yield of HCl is, 56.1735 grams

a sample of ammonia liberates 5.66 kj of heat as it solidifies at its melting point . what is the mass of the sample?

Reil [10]

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "16.728 g."

Given that
ΔHsolid = -5.66 kJ/mol.
This means that 5.66 kJ of heat is released when 1 mole of NH3 solidifies

When 5.57 kJ of heat is released
amount of NH3 solidifies = 5.57/5.66 = 0.984 moles

molar mass of NH3 = 17 g/mole 
1 mole of NH3 = 17 g 
So, 0.984 moles of NH3 = 17 X 0.984 = 16.728 g

Sugar is a covalently linked compound with many atoms. Water is able to dissolve sugar. What does this suggest about the atoms o

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

When you put sugar inside of a cup with water, the sugar is still visible because it's molecules have just gotten in touch with water molecules. The sugar molecules are still attracted to each other but as you stir it, it seems to disappear but not completely. When the water is stirred sugar mix with water and water molecules place themselves between the sugar ones.

Conclusion: It suggests that the sugar molecules are more attracted to water molecules which is why they easily separate from each other.
