Answer:

Grams of KCl produced = 7.60 g

Explanation:

The given reaction is:

2K + Cl2 → 2KCl

It is given that Cl2 is in excess which implies that potassium K is the limiting reagent

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

2 moles of K produces 2 moles of KCl i.e the molar ratio of K:KCl = 1:1

Moles(K)= \frac{Mass}{Atomic mass}=\frac{4.00g}{39.09g/mol}=0.102moles

Therefore, moles of KCl produced = 0.102

Mass(KCl)=moles*mol.wt = 0.102moles*74.55g/mol=7.60g

Answer:

42.65g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of K = 4g

Unknown: Mass of KCl

Solution:

  Complete equation of the reaction:

              2K + Cl₂ → 2KCl

To solve this problem, we know that the reactant in short supply is potassium K and this dictates the amount of products that would be formed. The chlorine gas is in excess and we can't use it to determine the amount of product that would form.

Now, we work from the known to the unknown. Since we know the mass of K given in the reaction, we can simply find the molar relationship between the reacting potassium and the product. We simply convert the mass to mole and compare to the product. From there we can find the mass of KCl that would be produced.

Calculating number of moles of K

      Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

        Number of moles of K =  \frac{4}{39} = 0.103mol

From the given reaction equation:

   2 moles of K will produce 2 moles of KCl

 Therefore 0.103mol of K will produce 0.103mol of KCl

To find the mass of KCl produced,

   Mass of KCl = number of moles of KCl x molar mass

Molar mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5gmol⁻¹

Mass of KCl = 0.103 x 74.5 = 42.65g

Which of the following apply to diffusion. Select all that apply. Solids can diffuse in liquids. Liquids can diffuse in liquids.
e-lub [12.9K]

Correct answers are:

  • Solids can diffuse in liquids. Think of a sugar cube sitting at the bottom of a cup of tea.
  • Liquids can diffuse in liquids. Think of a drop of food colouring in water
  • It is the process of intermingling atoms from one substance into another.

The other answers are <em>incorrect</em> because:

  • Gas molecules are far apart and diffuse rapidly.  
  • A solid can diffuse into another solid. Pure lead can diffuse into gold, and pure gold can diffuse into lead.

Answer:

7.65 moles of silver are produced

Explanation:

Zinc, Zn, reacts with silver nitrate, AgNO3, as follows:

Zn + 2AgNO3 → Zn(NO3)2 + 2Ag

<em>Where 1 mole of Zn reacts with an excess of AgNO3 to produce 2 moles of Ag</em>

To solve this question we must convert the mass of Zn to moles and, using the chemical equation, we can find the moles of Ag as follows:

<em>Moles Zn (Molar mass: 65.38g/mol):</em>

250g Zn * (1mol / 65.38g) = 3.824 moles Zn

<em>Moles Ag:</em>

3.824 moles Zn * (2mol Ag / 1mol Zn) =
