$2Cr + 3CoCl_2$ → $2CrCl_3 + 3Co$

Explanation:

The products formed are chromic chloride and cobalt.

Chromium + Cobaltous Chloride = Chromic Chloride + Cobalt

Type of reaction is Single Displacement (Substitution) which is there is a displacement of one atom.

Reactants used in the reaction are -

Chromium $(Cr)$

Cobaltous Chloride $(CoCl_2)$

Products formed in the reaction are -

Chromic Chloride $(CrCl_3)$

Cobalt $(Co)$

Hence, the chemical reaction is as follows -

$Cr + CoCl_2$ → $CrCl_3 + Co$

For balancing the above chemical equation we need to add a coefficient of 2 in front of chromium and of 3 in front of cobalt(II)chloride on right-hand-side while of 2 in front of chromium chloride and of 3 in front of carbon monoxide on left-hand-side of the equation.

Hence, the balanced equation is -

$2Cr + 3CoCl_2$ → $2CrCl_3 + 3Co$

An analytical chemist is titrating of a solution of propionic acid with a solution of 224.9 ml of a 0.6100M solution of propioni

Svetllana [295]

Answer: The pH of acid solution is 4.58

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$ .....(1)

For KOH:

Molarity of KOH solution = 1.1000 M

Volume of solution = 41.04 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.1000M=\frac{\text{Moles of KOH}\times 1000}{41.04}\\\\\text{Moles of KOH}=\frac{1.1000\times 41.04}{1000}=0.04514mol$

For propanoic acid:

Molarity of propanoic acid solution = 0.6100 M

Volume of solution = 224.9 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.6100M=\frac{\text{Moles of propanoic acid}\times 1000}{224.9}\\\\\text{Moles of propanoic acid}=\frac{0.6100\times 224.9}{1000}=0.1372mol$

The chemical reaction for propanoic acid and KOH follows the equation:

$C_2H_5COOH+KOH\rightarrow C_2H_5COOK+H_2O$

Initial: 0.1372 0.04514

Final: 0.09206 - 0.04514

Total volume of solution = [224.9 + 41.04] mL = 265.94 mL = 0.26594 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{salt}]}{[acid]})$

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[C_2H_5COOK]}{[C_2H_5COOH]})$

We are given:

$pK_a$ = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of propanoic acid = 4.89

$[C_2H_5COOK]=\frac{0.04514}{0.26594}$

$[C_2H_5COOH]=\frac{0.09206}{0.26594}$

pH = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=4.89+\log(\frac{(0.04514/0.26594)}{(0.09206/0.26594)})\\\\pH=4.58$

Hence, the pH of acid solution is 4.58

Explanation:

Matter undergoes two types of changes: physical changes and chemical changes.

A physical change is one that affects only the physical properties of a substance such as colour, size, shape, etc., and in which no new substances are formed. Physical changes are easily reversible.

Chemical changes are changes which affect the chemical characteristics and properties of a substance such as reactivity, acidity, basicity, etc., resulting in the formation of new substances.

The following changes below are categorized as either physical or chemical changes based on which of the properties of the substance is affected and whether new substances result or not.

When 12 moles of methanol (ch3oh) and 24 moles of oxygen gas react according to the chemical equation below, what is the limitin

Nataliya [291]

The balanced reaction equation for the reaction between CH₃OH and O₂ is
2CH₃OH(l) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(l)
Initial moles 12 24
Reacted moles 12 18
Final moles - 6 12 24

The stoichiometric ratio between CH₃OH and O₂ is 2 : 3
Hence,
reacted moles of O₂ = reacted moles of CH₃OH x (3/2)
= 12 mol x 3 / 2
= 18 mol

All of CH₃OH moles react with O₂.

Hence, the limiting agent is CH₃OH.

Excess reagent is O₂.
Amount of moles of excess reagent left = 24 - 18 mol = 6 mol
