Aqueous hydrochloric acid reacts with solid sodium hydroxide to produce aqueous sodium chloride and liquid water . If of water i
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

87.9%

Explanation:

Balanced Chemical Equation:

HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O

We are Given:

Mass of H2O = 9.17 g

Mass of HCl = 21.1 g

Mass of NaOH = 43.6 g

First, calculate the moles of both HCl and NaOH:

Moles of HCl: 21.1 g of HCl x 1 mole of HCl/36.46 g of HCl = 0.579 moles

Moles of NaOH: 43.6 g of NaOH x 1 mole of NaOH/40.00 g of NaOH = 1.09 moles

Here you calculate the mole of H2O from the moles of both HCl and NaOH using the balanced chemical equation:

Moles of H2O from the moles of HCl: 0.579 moles of HCl x 1 mole of H2O/1 mole of HCl = 0.579 moles

Moles of H2O from the moles of NaOH: 1.09 moles of HCl x 1 mole of H2O/1 mole of NaOH = 1.09 moles

From the calculations above, we can see that the limiting reagent is HCl because it produced the lower amount of moles of H2O. Therefore, we use 0.579 moles and NOT 1.09 moles to calculate the mass of H2O:

Mass of H2O: 0.579 moles of H2O x 18.02 g of H2O/1 mole of H2O = 10.43 g

% yield of H2O = actual yield/theoretical yield x 100= 9.17 g/10.43 g x 100 = 87.9%

(a) The temperature goes up by 3⁰C.

(b) There is increase in temperature, so the reaction is exothermic.

(c) Examples of exothermic reaction include, rusting of Iron, burning of coal, reaction of strong acid and water.

(d) Examples of endothermic reaction include, melting solid salts and evaporating liquid water.

<h3>What is exothermic reaction?</h3>

Exothermic reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which energy is transferred to or from the surroundings.

Examples of exothermic reactions include the following;

  • Rusting of Iron
  • Burning of Coal
  • Reaction of Strong Acid and Water
  • Water and Calcium Chloride

<h3>What is endothermic reaction?</h3>

Endothermic reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which energy is absorbed from the surroundings.

Examples of endothermic reactions include the following;

  • Melting solid salts.
  • Evaporating liquid water, etc

<h3>Change in temperature</h3>

From the increase in temperature from 15⁰C to 23⁰C, we can conclude that the temperature goes up by 3⁰C.

20⁰C - 17⁰C = 23⁰ - 20⁰C = 3⁰C.

Since there is increase in temperature, the reaction is exothermic.

Find the empirical formula of a compound which contains 54.93% potassium, 38.73% boron and 6.34% hydrogen.
Softa [21]
Use the percent as mass in g 
Mass g) --> g/mol 
K, B and H molar mass from periodic table

54.93 g K x (1 mol K/ 39.10 g K) = 1.405 mol K
38.73 g B x (1 mol B/ 10.81 g B) = 3.583 mol B
6.34 g H x (1 mol H/ 1.008 g H) = 6.290 mol H

Divide all three answers by the smallest value and you will get 
1.000 mol K
2.550 mol B
4.477 mol H 
now multiply these three answers by a number that will make all a whole number or (a number with a 9 as the first decimal point)
so multiply by 2
2 mol k
5 mol B
and 9 mol H
E.F. = K2B5H9 
Answer is D 
Sorry for bad explanation!!!!!!

What does the large number in front of<br> the molecule represent?
madam [21]
A large number in front of a compound designates how many units there are of that compound. Parentheses can be used to designate a special structure, where other molecules are attached to the larger, complex molecule.
