Answer:

The grams needed are 15

Explanation:

With the Na3PO4 volume and the Na+ concentration you can calculate the moles of Na+ that are present in the solution.

M stands for molarity which means moles of Na3PO4 (in this case) per liter of solution.

0.55 L * 0.5 M --> 0.275 moles of Na+. But each mol of Na3PO4 has 3 moles of Na+ in it, so to calculate the moles of Na3PO4 needed you must divide the concentration of Na+ in three.

0.275/3 = 0.0917

Now we calculate the molar mass of Na3PO4 which is 164 g/mol and multiply that for the amount of moles.

0.0917 mol * 164 g/mol = 15 grams of Na3PO4

Given: 2AgNO3 + NiCl2 -> 2AgCl + Ni(NO3)2
serious [3.7K]
Answer: AgNO3 is the limiting reactant.

Explanation:

1) Balanced chemical equation:

<span>Given: 2AgNO3 + NiCl2 → 2AgCl + Ni(NO3)2

2) Mole ratios:

2 mol AgNO3 : 1 mol NiCl2 : 2 mol AgCl : 1 mol Ni(NO3)2

3) Convert 0.847 g of AgNO3 to moles

n = mass in grams /  molar mass

molar mass = sum of the masses of all the atoms in the molecular formula

molar mass of AgNO3 = 107.9 g/mol + 14.0 g/mol + 3*16.0 g/mol = 169.9 g/mol

n = 0.847 g / 169.9 g/mol = 0.00499 mol AgNO3

4) Convert 0.650 g of NiCl2 to moles

n = mass in grams / molar mass

molar mass NiCl2 = 58.7 g/mol + 2*35.5 g/mol = 129.7 g/mol

n = 0.650 g / 129.7 g/mol = 0.00501 mol NiCl2

5) Compare the theoretical mole ratio with the actual ratio:

Theoretical mole ratio: 2 mol AgNO3 / 1 mol NiCl2
Actual ratio: 0.00499 mol AgNO3 / 0.00501 mol Ni Cl2 ≈ 1:1

Therefore, the amount of AgNO3 is half the required amount need to react with all the NiCl2, which means that the AgNO3 will react completely and there will be an excess of NiCl2. The reactant that is consumed completely while the other is left, is the limiting reactan. This is, AgNO3 is the limiting reactant.</span>

Where do producers get their energy?
Ahat [919]
The answer is letter b. from the sunlight. Plants are also referred as producers. Typically, plants gets their energy from the sun, wherein it helps them produce their own food, through the sunlight, the carbon dioxide present, the process wherein the producers undergo is known as photosynthesis.

What is the volume of an oxygen tank if it contains 12 moles of oxygen at 273 K under 75 kPa?
Zina [86]
Given:
n = 12 moles of oxygen
T = 273 K, temperature
p = 75 kPa, pressure

Use the ideal gas law, given by
pV=nRT \\ or \\  V= \frac{nRT}{p}
where
V = volume
R = 8.3145 J/(mol-K), the gas constant

Therefore,
V= \frac{(12\,mol)(8.3145\, \frac{J}{mol-K} )(273\,K)}{75 \times 10^{3} \, Pa}= 0.3632\,m^{3}

Answer: 0.363 m³
