Protostars are less dense than other stars.

Explanation:

Protostars are very young ‘stars’ made from hydrogen clouds that are beginning to coalesce and collapse under their weight. The hydrogen has not even begun fusing. Therefore, they are mainly made of hydrogen which is the lightest element in the universe.

Stars, however, have begun fusing hydrogen to other heavier elements like helium, carbon, oxygen, and iron. The elements are much heavier than hydrogen making other stars much denser than protostars.

Which substance will have the higher melting point,ethanol or ethane?explain

attashe74 [19]

Since hydrogen bonding is a stronger intermolecular force than van der Waals forces, more energy is required to separate the molecules of ethanol than the molecules of ethane. Thus ethanol has a higher melting point than ethane.

one method for generating chlorine gas is by reacting potassium permanganate and hydrochloric acid. how many liters of Cl2 at 40

Ronch [10]

Answer: The volume of chlorine gas produced in the reaction is 2.06 L.

Explanation:

For potassium permanganate:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass of potassium permanganate = 6.23 g

Molar mass of potassium permanganate = 158.034 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Moles of potassium permanganate}=\frac{6.23g}{158.034g/mol}=0.039mol$

For hydrochloric acid:

To calculate the moles of hydrochloric acid, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$

Molarity of HCl = 6.00 M

Volume of HCl = 45.0 mL = 0.045 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$6.00mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of HCl}}{0.045L}\\\\\text{Moles of HCl}=0.27mol$

For the reaction of potassium permanganate and hydrochloric acid, the equation follows:

$2KMnO_4+16HCl\rightarrow 2MnCl_2+5Cl_2+2KCl+8H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

16 moles of hydrochloric acid reacts with 2 moles of potassium permanganate.

So, 0.27 moles of hydrochloric acid will react with = $\frac{2}{16}\times 0.27=0.033moles$ of potassium permanganate.

As, given amount of potassium permanganate is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, hydrochloric acid is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

16 moles of hydrochloric acid reacts with 5 moles of chlorine gas.

So, 0.27 moles of hydrochloric acid will react with = $\frac{5}{16}\times 0.27=0.0843moles$ of chlorine gas.

To calculate the volume of gas, we use the equation given by ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of the gas = 1.05 atm

V = Volume of gas = ? L

n = Number of moles = 0.0843 mol

R = Gas constant = $0.0820\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the gas = $40^oC=[40+273]K=313K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.05atm\times V=0.0843\times 0.0820\text{ L atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 313K\\\\V=2.06L$

Hence, the volume of chlorine gas produced in the reaction is 2.06 L.
