A student doing this experiment accidently spilled some of the previously measured copper chloride solution on his hands. he did

n't bother to measure the new volume of the solution. briefly explain how this spill would affect the student's determination of the empirical formula of this sample.

Answer:

The number of moles of the chemical constituents will be less than the actual amount.

Explanation:

In calculating empirical formula, we begin with the number of grams of each element, given in the problem.

Given that the spill will affect the mass concentration of the copper chloride solution, calculations to determine the molecular formula (using Molarity = mass conc ÷ molecular mass ) would give a lesser result, which would in turn lower the number of moles of the copper and chloride in the empirical formula calculation.

For the skeletal chemical equation BF3(g) + NaH(s) → B2H6(g) + NaF(s) what is the coefficient of B2H6 in the balanced equation?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Coefficient in front of the B_2H_6  in the balanced equation - 1

Explanation:

The unbalanced Chemical equation is shown below as:-

BF_3+NaH\rightarrow B_2H_6+NaF

On the left hand side,  

There are 1 boron atom and 3 fluorine atoms and 1 sodium and hydrogen atoms.

On the right hand side,  

There are 2 boron atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms and 1 sodium and fluorine atoms.

Thus,  

leftside, BF_3 must be multiplied by 2 to balance boron and right side, NaF must be multiplied by 6 to balance fluorine. Left side, NaH must be multiplied by 6 to balance sodium and hydrogen atoms.

Thus, the balanced reaction is:-

2BF_3+6NaH\rightarrow B_2H_6+6NaF

<u>Coefficient in front of the B_2H_6  in the balanced equation - 1</u>

You need to prepare a solution with a specific concentration of Na+Na+ ions; however, someone used the end of the stock solution
babymother [125]

Explanation:

Ionic equation

NaCl(aq) --> Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

Na2SO4(aq) --> 2Na+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq)

In NaCl solution, 1 mole of Na+ is dissociated in 1 liter of solution while in Na2SO4, 2 moles of Na+ is dissociated in 1 liter of solution.

Molecular weight of NA2SO4 = (23*2) + 32 + (16*4)

= 142 g/mol

Molecular weight of NaCl = 23 + 35.5

= 58.5 g/mol

Masses

% Mass of NA+ in Na2SO4 = mass of Na+/total mass of Na2SO4 * 100

= 46/142 * 100

= 32.4%

% Mass of NA+ in NaCl = mass of Na+/total mass of NaCl * 100

= 23/58.5 * 100

= 39.3%

Therefore, the % mass of Na+ in NaCl and Na2SO4 are different so it cannot be used.

200.0 mL of 3.85 M HCl is added to 100.0 mL of 4.6 M barium hydroxide. The reaction goes to completion. What is the concentratio
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

2.387 mol/L

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

  • 2HCl + Ba(OH)₂ → BaCl₂ + 2H₂O

First we <u>calculate how many moles of each reagent were added</u>:

  • HCl ⇒ 200.0 mL * 3.85 M = 203.85 mmol HCl
  • Ba(OH)₂ ⇒ 100.0 mL * 4.6 M = 460 mmol Ba(OH)₂

460 mmol of Ba(OH)₂ would react completely with (2*460) 920 mmol of HCl. There are not as many mmoles of HCl so Ba(OH)₂ will remain in excess.

Now we <u>calculate how many moles of Ba(OH)₂ reacted</u>, by c<em>onverting the total number of HCl moles to Ba(OH)₂ moles</em>:

  • 203.85 mmol HCl * \frac{1mmolBa(OH)_{2}}{2mmolHCl}= 101.925 mmol Ba(OH)₂

This means the remaining Ba(OH)₂ is:

  • 460 mmol - 101.925 mmol = 358.075 mmoles Ba(OH)₂

There are two OH⁻ moles per Ba(OH)₂ mol:

  • OH⁻ moles = 2 * 358.075 = 716.15 mmol OH⁻

Finally we <u>divide the number of OH⁻ moles by the </u><u><em>total</em></u><u> volume</u> (100 mL + 200 mL):

  • 716.15 mmol OH⁻ / 300.0 mL = 2.387 M

So the answer is 2.387 mol/L

Which statements accurately describe binary star systems? Check all that apply. have more than two stars have stars that are alw
Westkost [7]

Answer:

have stars that might appear to wobble

often have one star that is brighter than the other

Explanation:

A binary star system is a star system made up of mostly two stars that moves round their common fixed center.

The two orbiting stars are gravitationally bonded to one another and they move round each other.

Most binary stars might appear wobble. One of the stars often appears brighter than the other.
