Ans: A) HCl

Neutralization reaction is one where an acid reacts with a base to form salt and water.

The given reaction is;

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H2O

In general, an acid is the species which loses a proton i.e. H+ ion. Whereas base accepts a proton. Therefore the molecule where the proton count or the number of hydrogens decreases as the reaction proceeds can be identified as an acid.

Here, as the reaction progresses, HCl loses its hydrogen hence HCl is an acid i.e. hydrochloric acid.

NaOH, sodium hydroxide is a base

NaCl, sodium chloride is a salt.

What is an ephemeral stream? A)one that flows only after rainfall B) one that flows only in flat lands C) one that is formed onl

kupik [55]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The stream that flows during or after the rainfall is called an ephemeral stream. This stream occurs in areas where there is less rainfall or deficiency of moisture.

The stream that flows only in flat lands is called as river.

Mechanical weathering results in the breaking of rocks causes ice wedging.

Chemical weathering results in the change in molecular structure of rocks and soil.

Thus, it can be concluded that option (a) is the correct answer.

2.00 L of a gas is collected at 25.0°C and 745.0 mmHg. What is the volume at 760.0 mmHg

Leviafan [203]

1.7960L

Explanation:

the mass of the gas is constant in both instances

pv/T=constant(according to pv=nRT)

745mmHg*2L/298K=760mmHg*v/273K

v=1.7960L

Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of potassium metal (k) with water to yield potassium hydroxide.

Tanzania [10]

Reaction: 2K₍s₎ + 2H₂O₍l₎ → 2KOH₍aq₎ + H₂₍g₎.
K - potassium.
H₂O - water.
KOH - potassium-hydroxide.
H₂ - hydrogen.
s - solid phase.
l - liquid.
aq - disolves in water.
g - gas.
Reaction is exothermal (release of energy) and potassium burns a purple flame. Hydrogen released during the reaction reacts with oxygen and ignites.

Suppose that Daniel has a 3.00 3.00 L bottle that contains a mixture of O 2 O2 , N 2 N2 , and CO 2 CO2 under a total pressure of

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Partial pressure O₂ → 2.74 atm

Explanation:

Let's analyse the data given:

Volume → 3L

In the bottle there is a mixture of gases that contains, O₂, N₂ and CO₂.

Total pressure is 4.80 atm

Let's apply the Ideal Gases Law to determine the total moles of the mixture

P . V = n . R. T

4.80 atm . 3L = n . 0.082 . 273K

n = 4.80 atm . 3L / 0.082 . 273K → 0.643 moles

We apply the concept of mole fraction:

Mole fraction of a gas X = moles of gas X / Total moles

Mole fraction of a gas X = Partial pressure X / Total pressure

In a mixture, sum of mole fraction of each gas = 1

We determine mole fraction of N₂ → 0.230 / 0.643 = 0.357

We determine mole fraction of CO₂ → 0.350 atm / 4.80 atm = 0.0729

1 - mole fraction N₂ - mole fraction CO₂ = mole fraction O₂

1 - 0.357 - 0.0729 = 0.5701 → mole fraction O₂

We replace in the formula: Mole fraction O₂ = Partial pressure O₂ / 4.80 atm

0.5701 . 4.80 atm = Partial pressure O₂ → 2.74 atm

For the reaction shown, calculate how many grams of each product form when the following amounts of reactant completely react to

stira [4]

This may help you
You need to use some stoichiometry here. The only way to do that is if you're working in moles. Since you're given grams of Al, you can convert that moles by dividing by the molar mass. Then from looking at the coefficients in your equation, you can see that for however many moles of Al react, the same numbers of moles of Fe will be produced, but only half as many moles of Al2O3 will be produced. To go back to grams, multiply the moles of each product that you get by their molar masses!
