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

Is there a relationship between the locations of earthquake, volcanoes, and plate boundaries? If so, describe the relationship.
Naddik [55]

Answer:

and earthquake epicenters are related to tectonic plate boundaries. causes Earth's plates to move. Most volcanoes and earthquakes are caused by the motion and interaction of Earth's plates. The way Earth's plates interact at boundaries is an important factor in the locations of earthquakes and volcanoes

Which statement is true about HCI?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

d- it is an acid because it increases the concentration of hydronium ions

Explanation:

HCl; hydrochloric acid is an acid because it increases the concentration of hydronium ions when in solutions.

An acid is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxonium ions H₃O⁺ in an aqueous solution.

For example:

               HCl + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻

HCl is classified as a strong acid due to its complete ionization when in solutions.

A certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential +0.80 V . An engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

a. Minimum 1.70 V

b. There is no maximum.

Explanation:

We can solve this question by remembering that the cell potential is given by the formula

ε⁰ cell = ε⁰ reduction -  ε⁰  oxidation

Now the problem states the cell must provide at least 0.9 V and that the reduction potential of the  oxidized species  0.80 V, thus

ε⁰ reduction -  ε⁰  oxidation ≥  ε⁰ cell

Since ε⁰  oxidation is by definition the negative of ε⁰ reduction , we have

ε⁰ reduction - ( 0.80 V )  ≥  0.90 V

⇒ ε⁰ reduction  ≥ 1.70 V

Therefore,

(a) The minimum standard reduction potential is 1.70 V

(b) There is no maximum standard reduction potential since it is stated in the question that we want to have a cell that provides at leat 0.9 V
