In an accident, a solution containing 2.5 kg of nitric acid was spilled. Two kilograms of Na2CO3 was quickly spread on the area

and CO2 was released by the reaction by the reaction. Was sufficient NA2CO3 used to neutralize all the acid?

First we must write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction

Na_2CO_3 _(_a_q_)+ 2HNO_3_(_a_q_) \implies 2NaNO_3_(_s_) + CO_2_(_g_) + H_2O_(_l_)

The mole ratio for the reaction between HNO_3 and Na_2CO_3 is 1:2. This means 1 moles of Na_2CO_3 will neutralize 2 moles HNO_3. Now we find the moles of each reactant based on the mass and molar mass.

2500g HNO_3 \times \frac{mol}{63.01g\ HNO_3} = 39.67 mol\ HNO_3

2000g\ Na_2CO_3 \times \frac{mol}{105.99g \ Na_2CO_3} = 18.87 mol\ Na_2CO_3

\frac{18.87 mol Na_2CO_3}{39.67\ HNO_3} = \frac{1 molNa_2CO_3}{2 mol HNO_3}

The Na_2CO_3 was enough to neutralize the acid because 18.87:39.67 is the same as 1:2 mol ratio.

Which statement is true regarding methane and ammonia?
sukhopar [10]
The options for given question are as follow,

1) Methane molecules show hydrogen bonding. 
<span>2) Ammonia molecules show hydrogen bonding. </span>
<span>3) Methane has stronger hydrogen bonding than ammonia. </span>
<span>4) Both the compounds do not show hydrogen bonding. </span>
<span>5) Both the compounds have strong hydrogen bonding.
</span>
Answer:
            Correct answer is Option-2 (Ammonia molecules show hydrogen bonding).

Explanation:
                   Hydrogen bond interactions are formed when a partial positive hydrogen atom attached to most electronegative atom of one molecule interacts with the partial negative most electronegative element of another molecule. So, in Ammonia hydrogen gets partial positive charge as nitrogen is highly electronegative. While the C-H bond in Methane is non-polar and fails to form hydrogen bond interactions.

A monatomic ideal gas that is initially at 1.50 * 105 Pa and has a volume of 0.0800 m3 is compressed adiabatically to a volume o
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

300000Pa or 3×10^5 Pa

Explanation:

Since the problem involves only two parameters of volume and pressure, the formula for Boyle's law is suitably used.

Using Boyle's law

P1V1 = P2V2

P1 is the initial pressure = 1.5×10^5Pa

V1 is the initial volume = 0.08m3

P2 is the final pressure (required)

V2 is the final volume = 0.04 m3

From the formula, P2 = P1V1/V2

P2 = 1.5×10^5 × 0.08 ÷ 0.04

= 300000Pa or 3×10^5 Pa.

Which is the correct statement regarding the relative Rf values of the starting methyl benzoate vs the product, methyl m-nitrobe
Marianna [84]

Answer:

1. The product has a higher Rf value on a silica gel TLC plate because it is more polar than the starting methyl benzoate.

2. False

3. True

Explanation:

In chromatography, there is a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The ratio of the distance moved by a component and the distance moved by the solvent gives the retention factor (Rf).

Since silica gel is a polar solvent, it will retain the more polar product methyl m-nitrobenzoate compared to the methyl benzoate starting material.

In comparing the electrophillic aromatic substitution of m-nitrobenzoate  and methyl benzoate, we must remember that the presence of electron withdrawing groups (such as -NO2 and -CHO) on the aromatic compound deactivates the compound towards electrophillic aromatic substitution hence, methyl m-nitrobenzoate is less reactive than methyl benzoate in Electrophilic Aromatic Substition and Methyl benzoate is less reactive than benzene in Electrophilic Aromatic Substition
