Answer:

cuz of the disproportionately big increase in the number of high energy collisions.

Answer:

This is because an increase in temperature increases the movement of molecules/particles of reactants which encourages collision and subsequently, reaction.

If 42.7 of 0.208 M hydrochloric acid are needed to completely neutralize a solution of calcium hydroxide, how many grams of calc

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

0.329 g

Explanation:

In the context of this problem, we have a chemical reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium hydroxide. HCl is the acid here and calcium hydroxide is the base. Hence, we have an acid-base reaction, also known as neutralization reaction.

In a neutralization reaction, water is produced as a product, as well as a salt that we obtain after we exchange the cations: calcium bonds to chloride and hydrogen bonds to hydroxide (the latter is the formation of water). This means we also produce calcium chloride as a product. The overall reaction represents this as:

$Ca(OH)_2(aq)+2 HCl (aq)\rightarrow CaCl_2 (aq)+2 H_2O (l)$

Firslt of all, we wish to find the number of moles of HCl present. Having molarity and volume, this is done by applying the molarity formula. It states that molarity is equal to the rate between moles and volume:

$c_{HCl}=\frac{n_{HCl}}{V_{HCl}}$

Rearranging for moles of HCl, n:

$n_{HCl}=c_{HCl}V_{HCl}$

Based on stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation, notice that 1 mole of calcium hydroxide reacts with 2 moles of HCl, meaning:

$n_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{1}{2} n_{HCl}=\frac{1}{2}c_{HCl}V_{HCl}$

Now that we have the expression for moles, we may also express moles of calcium hydroxide as the ratio between its mass and molar mass:

$n_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{m_{Ca(OH)_2}}{M_{Ca(OH)_2}}$

Using the last two equations, we see that:

$\frac{1}{2}c_{HCl}V_{HCl}=\frac{m_{Ca(OH)_2}}{M_{Ca(OH)_2}}\\\therefore m_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{1}{2}c_{HCl}V_{HCl}M_{Ca(OH)_2}$

Substitute the given data, as well as the molar mass of calcium hydroxide:

$m_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{1}{2}\cdot0.208 M\cdot0.0427 L\cdot74.093 g/mol=0.329 g$

If air is 80 percent nitrogen and 20 percent oxygen by volume what is density

Evgen [1.6K]

1 mol of any gas or mix of gases at STP conditions will have a volume of 22.4 L. Since the problem doesn’t said what are the conditions I will asume that are STP condition and the volume of one mole of the mix will have a volume of 22.4 L.

You may know that density is
D=m/v

In one mole of air I will have 80% of Nitrogen (N2) and 20% oxygen (O2).

So the mass of one mole of air will be

14 x2x0.80+16x2x0.20 = 22.4 g + 6.4 g = 28.8 g

D= 28.8/22.4 = 1.28 g/L

Of course if the temperature is higher the density will be smaller because the volume of one mole will be bigger and viceversa if the temperature decrease. Also if the pressure is different than one atm the volume of a mol will change.
