Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Consider the reaction: P4 + 6Cl2 = 4PCl3.

a. How many grams of Cl2 are needed to react with 20.00 g of P4? ___68.7 g___________

P4 + 6Cl2 = 4PCl3

4(31) ---------- 12(35.5)

20 ---------- x

x = 20(12x35.5) / 4(31)

x = 8520 / 124

x = 68.7 g

b. You have 15.00 g. of P4 and 22.00 g. of Cl2, identify the limiting reactant and calculate the grams of PCl3 that can be produced as well as the grams of excess reactant remaining. LR____________ grams PCl3 _________ grams excess reactant ___________

P4 + 6Cl2 = 4PCl3

124g 426 g 4(31 + 3(35.5)) = 550g

15g 22g

I will use P4 to find the limiting reactant

x = (15 x 426) / 124 = 51.5 The limiting reactant is Chlorine

because we need 51.5 g and we only have 22g

Excess reactant

x = (22 x 124) / 426 = 6.4 g of P4

Excess P4 = 15 g - 6.4 = 8.6 g of P4 in excess

Grams of PCl3 produced

426 g of Cl2 ---------------- 550 g of PCl3

22g of Cl2 ------------- - x

x = (22 x 550) / 426 = 28.4 g of PCl3

c. If the actual amount of PCl3 recovered is 16.25 g., what is the percent yield? ______________

% yield = (16.25 - 28.4) / 28.4 x 100

% yield = 42.8

d. Given 28.00 g. of P4 and 106.30 g. of Cl2, identify the limiting reactant and calculate how many grams of the excess reactant will remain after the reaction. LR ______________ grams excess reactant

Limiting reactant

124g of P4 ------------- 426 g 6Cl2

28g --------------- x

x = (28 x 426) / 124

x = 96.2 g of Cl2 and we have 106.3 so Chlorine is the excess reactant and P4 is the limiting reactant.

Excess reactant = 106.3 - 96.2 = 10.1 g of Cl2 in excess

In one sample of a compound of copper and oxygen, 3.12g of the compound contains 2.50g of copper and the remainder is oxygen. Ca

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

% composition O = 19.9%

% composition Cu = 80.1%

Explanation:

Given data:

Total mass of compound = 3.12 g

Mass of copper = 2.50 g

Mass of oxygen = 3.12 - 2.50 = 0.62 g

% composition = ?

Solution:

Formula:

% composition = ( mass of element/ total mass)×100

% composition Cu = (2.50 g / 3.12 g)×100

% composition Cu = 0.80 ×100

% composition Cu = 80.1%

For oxygen:

% composition = ( mass of element/ total mass)×100

% composition O = (0.62 g / 3.12 g)×100

% composition O = 0.199 ×100

% composition O = 19.9%

Three different atoms or atomic cations with 3 electrons.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

$Li, Be^+, B^{2+}$

Explanation:

To answer this question successfully, we need to remember that atoms are neutral species, since the number of protons, the positively charged particles, is equal to the number of electrons, the negatively charged particles. That said, we may firstly find an atom which has 3 electrons (and, as a result, 3 protons, as it should be neutral).

The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of an element. We firstly may have an atom with 3 protons and 3 electrons (atomic number of 3, this is Li).

Similarly, we may take the atomic number of 4, beryllium, and remove 1 electron from it. Upon removing an electron, it would become beryllium cation, $Be^+$ .

We may use the same logic going forward and taking the atomic number of 5. This is boron. In this case, we need to remove 2 electrons to have a total of 3 electrons. Removal of 2 electrons would yield a +2-charged cation: $B^{2+}$ .

How many liters of 4.0 M NaOH solution will react with 0.60 liters 3.0 M H2SO4?

slava [35]

Answer:

A. 0.90 L.

Explanation:

NaOH solution will react with H₂SO₄ according to the balanced reaction:

H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.

1.0 mole of H₂SO₄ reacts with 2.0 moles of NaOH.

For NaOH to react completely with H₂SO₄, the no. of millimoles should be equal.

∴ (MV) NaOH = (xMV) H₂SO₄.

x for H₂SO₄ = 2, due to having to reproducible H⁺ ions.

∴ V of NaOH = (xMV) H₂SO₄/ M of NaOH = 2(0.6 L)(3.0 M)/(4.0 M) = 0.90 L.

Knowing the gravity on the moon is 1.6m/s what is your weight?

wariber [46]

Weight varies dramatically if we leave earths surface.On the moon for example acceleration due to gravity is only 1.67m/s2 A 1.0-kg mass thus has a weight of 9.8 N on Earth and only about 1.7 N on the moon
