A salt derived from a weak base and a strong acid will yield what kind of salt?

Which is the best practice recommended in the safety video to mix and acid or a base with a solvent?

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Never pour water into acid but acid into water

Explanation:

If water is poured into extremely concentrated acid/bases, the rate of volatility and exothermic reaction is too rapid and might cause a chemical eruption, leading to acid burns.

Safety precautions hence dictate the reverse is practiced.

I believe this is a clear answer.

The percent yield of the calcium hydroxide is 84.5%.

<h3>What is stoichiometry?</h3>

Stoichiometry enables us to obtain the mass of a substance form the equation of the reaction.

The equation of the reaction is;

CaCO3 + 2HCl -----> CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O

Number of moles of X = 40.0 grams/100 g/mol = 0.4 moles

Number of moles of HCl = 850/1000 * 1 M = 0.85 moles

If 1 mole of CaCO3 reacts with 2 moles of HCl

0.4 moles of CaCO3 reacts with 0.4 moles * 2 moles/1 mole

= 0.8 moles of HCl

Hence X is the limiting reactant.

The reaction is 1:1 then the amount of CO2 produced is 0.4 moles

Mass of CO2 = 0.4 CO2 * 44 g/mol = 17.6 g

2) The reaction equation is; 2NaOH + CaCO3 ---> Ca(OH)2 + Na2CO3

Number of moles of X = 25.0 grams/100 g/mol = 0.25 moles

Number of moles of NaOH= 40/1000 L * 2 M = 0.08 moles

If 1 mole of X reacts with 2 moles of NaOH

0.25 moles reacts with 0.25 moles * 2 moles /1 mole

= 0.5 moles

NaOH is the limiting reactant

2 moles of NaOH produces 1 mole of CO2

0.08 moles of NaOH produces 0.08 moles * 1 mole/2 moles

= 0.04 moles of CO2

Theoretical yield of CO2 = 0.04 moles of CO2 * 74 g/mol = 2.96 g

Percent yield = 2.5 g/ 2.96 g * 100

= 84.5%

Pls help! Polonium has a large, unstable nucleus. Through which process is it most likely to become stable?

Stella [2.4K]

The process through which Polonium is most likely to become stable is: B. alpha decay.

An unstable element refers to a chemical element that lose particles because its nucleus contain an excess of internal energy (neutron or proton).

This ultimately implies that, an unstable element is radioactive in nature.

In Science, some examples of an unstable element are:

Tritium.

Bismuth-209 .

Xenon.

Polonium.

Polonium is a chemical element with a large, unstable nucleus.

Basically, the most stable isotope of Polonium is Polonium-209, which typically undergoes an alpha decay to form lead-205 and the emission of an alpha particle.
