Answer:

1) 2.0 g

2) 0 g

3) 4.17 g

4) 2.57 g

Explanation:

First of all, we need to know the compounds and the reaction. The ion carbonate is CO3^{-2}, and the ion nitrate is NO3^{-}.

Sodium is in group 1, so it must lose one electron to be stable, and be the cation Na^{+}. Silver has only one electron too, so the cation will be Ag^{+}.

To form the chemical compounds, first we put the cation, then the anion, and change their charges without the signal:

Sodium carbonate: Na2CO3

Silver nitrate: AgNO3

Silver carbonate: Ag2CO3

Sodium nitrate: NaNO3

The balanced reaction will be:

Na2CO3 + 2 AgNO3 --> Ag2CO3 + 2 NaNO3

Now, we must check the stoichiometry, which will be 1:2:1:2 (always in number of moles)

The question wants to know the mass value, so we need to know the molar mass of these compounds. Checking the periodic table will see that:

Na = 23 g/mol, C = 12 g/mol, N = 14 g/mol, O = 16 g/mol, Ag = 108 g/mol

So the molar mass of the compounds must be:

Na2CO3 = 106 g/mol (2x23 + 12 + 3x16)

AgNO3 = 170 g/mol (108 + 14 + 3x16)

Ag2CO3 = 276 g/mol (2x108 + 12 + 3x16)

NaNO3 = 85 g/mol

We have a mixture of the reactants, so one probably would be in excess, so, first will need to test. Let's do the stoichiometry calculus using silver nitrate as the limit, so:

1 mol of Na2CO3 ---------- 2 mol of AgNO3

106 g ------------------------------ 2x170 = 340 g

x ------------------------------------ 5.14 g

By a simple direct three rule:

340x = 544.84

x = 1.6 g of Na2CO3

That means that for this reaction, we only need 1.6 g of Na2CO3 to react with 5.14 of AgNO3. How we have 3.60 g of Na2CO3, it is on excess, and all the AgNO3 will be consumed.

1) The mass of Na2CO3 that remains after the reaction will be the initial less the mass that reacted:

m = 3.6 - 1. 6 = 2.0 g

2) All the AgNO3 reacted, so there isn't a mass present after the reaction.

m = 0 g

3) Now, doing the stoichiometry calculus between AgNO3 and Ag2CO3

2 moles of AgNO3 ------------- 1 mol of Ag2CO3

2x170 g ------------------------------- 276 g

5.14 g --------------------------------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

340x = 1418.64

x = 4.17 g of Ag2CO3

4) Now, doing the stoichiometry calculus between AgNO3 and NaNO3

2 moles of AgNO3 ----------------------- 2 moles of NaNO3

2x170 g ---------------------------------------- 2x85 g

5.14 g ------------------------------------------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

340x = 873.8

x = 2.57 g

Why do we need to standardize EDTA in determination of water hardness?​
bonufazy [111]
Standardized means that a specific amount EDTA is added to a specific volume of distilled water. Water hardness is determined by the the amount of a standard EDTA solution to change the color of the water from red to blue. For example if one added the correct amount of EDTA to twice the volume of distilled water the solution would be weak. Titration of the hard water would give a erroneous high result.

Question 11. Identify the reducing agent <br> Sn+2 + AG 0 —&gt; Sn0 + Ag+
Temka [501]

Answer:

Ag 0 is the reducing agent.

Explanation:

Reducing -> gaining electrons

Oxidizing -> losing electrons

Ag lost electrons (became more positive) since it went from a 0 charge to a +1 charge. Therefore it was oxidized. Ag+ is the oxidized product. Reactants that create an oxidized product are called reducing agents. This would make Ag 0 the reducing agent in this reaction.

In the unbalanced equation given below, what is the element that is gaining electrons?
viktelen [127]

Hey there!:

HCl + MnO2 → MnCl2 + H2O + Cl2

* in HCl the oxidation state of Cl is -1 .

* on the product side the oxidation state is 0 .

* therefore Cl gains electrons .

* in  MnO2 the oxidation state of Mn is +4

* in MnCl2 the oxidation state of Mn is +2

Therefore Mn loses electrons

Answer A

Hope That helps!

To protect yourself from consuming too much _____, you should limit your consumption of swordfish, king mackerel, and shark. a.
Serggg [28]

Answer:

b. mercury

Explanation:

Fishes and some other sea foods are are known to concentrate mercury in their bodies. Consumption of these products gradually accumulate mercury in the body over time.

More specifically, fishes like swordfish, king mackerel and shark are known to concentrate higher amount of mercury than other species of fishes. Hence, limiting their consumption will protect humans from mercury poisoning.

The correct option is b.
