In the reaction of chlorine with calcium, explain which atom is oxidized.

Chemistry
1 answer:
romanna [79]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The atom is oxidized is Ca.

Explanation:

  • The oxidation-reduction reaction contains a reductant and an oxidant (oxidizing agent).
  • The oxidation process is the process in which electrons are lost and produce positively charged ions.
  • The reduction process is the process in which electrons is gained and negatively charge ions are produced.

  • In the reaction of chlorine with calcium:

<em>Ca + Cl₂ → CaCl₂,</em>

Ca loses 2 electrons and is oxidized to Ca²⁺. (Ca <em>→</em> Ca²⁺ + 2e).

Cl is gains 2 electrons in "Cl₂, oxidation state zero" and is reduced to Cl⁻. (Cl₂ + 2e <em>→</em> 2Cl⁻).

nadezda [96]

<span>1.    </span>To solve this we assume that the gas is an ideal gas. Then, we can use the ideal gas equation which is expressed as PV = nRT. At a constant temperature and number of moles of the gas the product of PV is equal to some constant. At another set of condition of temperature, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

P1V1 =P2V2

V2 = P1 x V1 / P2

 V2 = 104.1 x 478 / 88.2

A sample of CO2 weighing 86.34g contains how many molecules?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

1.181 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis
  • Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

86.34 g CO₂

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversion</u>

Avogadro's Number

Molar Mass of C - 12.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of CO₂ - 12.01 + 2(16.00) = 44.01 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

<u />86.34 \ g \ CO_2(\frac{1 \ mol \ CO_2}{44.01 \ g \ CO_2} )(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ CO_2}{1 \ mol \ CO_2} ) = 1.18141 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>We are given 4 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

1.18141 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂ ≈ 1.181 × 10²⁴ molecules CO₂

A florist prepares a solution of nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizer by dissolving 5.66 g of NH₄NO₃ and 4.42 g of (NH₄)₃ PO₄ in enoug
Alexandra [31]

In finding the molarity of a solution, we use the following formula:

M=moles soluteL solution

What is Molarity?

The number of moles of the solute is calculated by dividing the mass of the solute by its molar mass.

<h3 />

The molar mass of  NH4NO3 and (NH4)3PO4 are  80.043 g/mol and 149.0867 g/mol, respectively.

molesNH+4inNH4NO3=5.66 g80.043 g/mol×1molNH+41molNH4NO3=0.0707 mol

molesNH+4in(NH4)3PO4=4.42 g149.0867 g/mol×3molNH+41mol(NH4)3PO4=0.0889 mol

total molesNH+4=0.0707 mol+0.0889 mol=0.1596 mol

molesPO3−4in(NH4)3PO4=4.42 g149.0867 g/mol×1molPO3−41mol(NH4)3PO4=0.0296 mol

[NH+4]=0.1596 mol20.0 L=7.98×10−3 M NH+4

[PO3−4]=0.0296 mol20.0 L=1.48×10−3 M PO3−4

Therefore, [PO3−4]\\ has a molarity of  1.48×10−3 M PO3−

(06.03 MC) A 50.0 mL sample of gas at 20.0 atm of pressure is compressed to 40.0 atm of pressure at constant temperature. What i
oee [108]

Answer:

New volume is 25.0 mL

Explanation:

Let's assume the gas sample behaves ideally.

According to combined gas law for an ideal gas-

                         \frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}

where, P_{1} and P_{2} represent initial and final pressure respectively

V_{1} and V_{2} represent initial and final volume respectively

T_{1} and T_{2} represent initial and final temperature (in kelvin) respectively

Here, T_{1}=T_{2}, V_{1}=50.0mL, P_{1}=20.0atm and P_{2}=40.0atm

So, V_{2}=\frac{P_{1}V_{1}T_{2}}{P_{2}T_{1}}=\frac{(20.0atm)\times (50.0mL)}{40.0mL}=25.0mL

So, the new volume is 25.0 mL
