What can be said of a closed system when an exothermic reaction proceeds in an aqueous solution?

1 answer:

8 0

An exothermic reaction is a type of reaction that dissipates heat as the reaction proceeds. This would mean that in a closed system, when a reaction proceeds and is endothermic, the temperature of the solution or the system would increase so as to maintain the equilibrium with the whole system.

Bromine (Br) belongs to the halogen family. Based on the location of the halogens, how many valence electrons does bromine have?

Amanda [17]

Answer:

D. 7

Explanation:

The halogens are found in Group 7 of the Periodic Table. If Bromine is a halogen, then that means it would be found in Group 7. Also, elements in Group 7 have 7 electrons in its outer shell, Bromine would have 7 electrons in its outer shell.

A student determines that she used 0.0665 mol of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to completely titrate 25.00 mL of sulfuric acid solutio

AysviL [449]

To determine the concentration of one solution which is specifically basic or acidic solution through taking advantage on its points of equivalence, titration analysis is done.

Let us determine the reaction for the titration below:

2NaOH +2H2SO4 = Na2SO4 +2H2O

So,

0.0665 mol NaOH (2 mol H2SO4/ 2mol NaOH) / .025 L solution

= 2.62 M H2SO4

The answer is the fourth option:

2.62 M

A chemist prepares a solution of copper(II) sulfate CuSO4 by measuring out 31.μmol of copper(II) sulfate into a 150.mL volumetri

baherus [9]

Answer:

The concentration of the copper (II) sulfate solution is 2.06 * 10^2 μmol/L or 2.06 * 10^2 μM

Explanation:

The concentration of a solution is the amount of solute dissolved in a given volume of solution. In this case, the concentration of the copper(II) sulfate solution in micromoles per liter (symbol ) is the number of micromoles of copper(II) sulfate dissolved in each liter of solution. To calculate the micromoles of copper(II) sulfate dissolved in each liter of solution you must divide the total micromoles of solute by the number of liters of solution.

Here's that idea written as a formula: c= n/V

where c stands for concentration, n stands for the total micromoles of copper (II) sulfate and V stands for the total volume of the solution.

You're not given the volume of the solution in liters, but rather in milliliters. You can convert milliliters to liters with a unit ratio: V= 150. mL * 10^-3 L/ 1 mL = 0.150 L

Next, plug in μmol and liters into the formula to divide the total micromoles of solute by the number of liters of solution: c= 31 μmol/0.150 L = 206.66 μmol/L

Convert this number into scientific notation: 2.06 * 10^2 μmol/L or 2.06 * 10^2 μM

If 12.5 grams of strontium hydroxide is reacted with 150 mL of 3.5 M carbonic acid, identify the limiting reactant.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Sr(OH)₂ will be the limiting reagent.

Explanation:

First of all, you should know the following balanced chemical equation:

2 H₂CO₃ + 2 Sr(OH)₂ → 4 H₂O + Sr₂(CO₃)₂

The balanced equation is based on the Law of Conservation of Mass, which says that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, the number of each type of atom on each side of a chemical equation must be the same.

The limiting reagent is one that is consumed first in its entirety, determining the amount of product in the reaction. When the limiting reagent is finished, the chemical reaction will stop.

To determine the limiting reagent, it is possible to use the reaction stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction). By stoichiometry the following amounts in moles react:

strontium hydroxide: 2 moles
carbonic acid: 2 moles

Now, you know the following masses of the elements:

Sr: 87.62 g/mole
O: 16 g/mole
H: 1 g/mole

So the molar mass of strontium hydroxide is:

Sr(OH)₂= 87.62 g/mole + 2*(16 g/mole + 1 g/mole)= 121.62 g/mole

You apply the following rule of three, if 121.62 grams of hydroxide are present in 1 mole, 12.5 grams in how many moles are they?

$moles of strontium hydroxide=\frac{12.5 grams*1 mole}{121.62 grams}$

moles of hydroxide= 0.103 moles

On the other hand, you have 150 ml of 3.5 M carbonic acid. Since molarity is the concentration of a solution expressed in the number of moles dissolved per liter of solution, you can apply the following rule of three: if in 1 L there are 3.5 moles of carbonic acid, in 0.150 L (being 1 L = 1000 mL, 0.150 L = 150 mL) how many moles of acid are there?

$molesofcarbonicacid=\frac{0.150 L*3.5 moles}{1 L}$

moles of carbonic acid= 0.525 moles

Finally, to calculate the limiting reagent, you can use a simple rule of three as follows: if by stoichiometry 2 mole of strontium hydroxide reacts with , how much moles of carbonic acid will be needed if 0.103 moles of strontium hydroxide react?

$molesofcarbonicacid=\frac{0.103 moles of strontium hydroxide*2 moles of carbonic acid}{2 moles of strontium hydroxide}$

moles of carbonic acid= 0.103 moles

But 0.525 moles are available. Since more moles are available than you need to react with 0.103 moles of strontium hydroxide, Sr(OH)₂ will be the limiting reagent.
