Answer:

The question is partially wrong. For spills of strong bases, such as sodium hydroxide, it must be neutralized with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid. Otherwise, for acid spills, neutralize them with sodium bicarbonate. The reactions are as follows:

Base spills: H2SO4 + 2NaOH → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Sulfuric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide forming sodium sulfate and water.

Acid spills: H2SO4 + 2NaHCO3 → Na2SO4 + 2CO2 + 2H2O

Sulfuric acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate forming sodium sulfate, water and carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

For the destruction of strong inorganic bases such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH) they must be neutralized with a dilute solution of sulfuric acid or a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid.

For the destruction of strong inorganic acids such as sulfuric acid, they must be neutralized with an inorganic base such as sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)

NAHCO3 <span>doesn't help basic spills. It's slightly basic itself. It's good for acid spills though. It's not a very strong base so any leftover NaHCO3 won't be a hazard.
I DONT KNOW about h2so4</span>

drek231 [11]

The moles of gas in the bottle has been 0.021 mol.

The ideal gas has been given as the gas where there has been negligible amount of interatomic collisions. The ideal gas equation has been given as:

PV=nRT

<h3>Computation for the moles of gas</h3>

The gi<em>ve</em>n gas has standard pressure, P=1\rm atm

The volume of the gas has been, V= 0. 500 \;\rm  L

The temperature of the gas has been, T=15^\circ \text C\\&#10;T=288\;\rm K

Substituting the values for the moles of gas, <em>n:</em>

 How much energy is needed to raise the temperature of 125g of water from 25.0oC to 35.0oC?  The specific heat of water is 4.184
Anvisha [2.4K]

Hello!

To find the amount of energy need to raise the temperature of 125 grams of water from 25.0° C to 35.0° C, we will need to use the formula: q = mcΔt.

In this formula, q is the heat absorbed, m is the mass, c is the specific heat, and Δt is the change in temperature, which is found by final temperature minus the initial temperature.

Firstly, we can find the change in temperature. We are given the initial temperature, which is 25.0° C and the final temperature, which is 35.0° C. It is found by subtract the final temperature from the initial temperature.

35.0° C - 25.0° C = 10.0° C

We are also given the specific heat and the grams of water. With that, we can substitute the given values into the equation and multiply.

q = 125 g × 4.184 J/g °C × 10.0° C

q = 523 J/°C × 10.0° C

q = 5230 J

Therefore, it will take 5230 joules (J) to raise the temperature of the water.

Determine the percent yield of a reaction that produces 28.65 g of Fe when 50.00 g of Fe2O3 react with excess Al according to th
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The percent yield of the reaction is 82%

Explanation:

First step: make the chemist equation.

2 Al (s) + Fe2O3 (s) → 2 Fe (s) + Al2O3 (s)

As the statement says that aluminun is in excess, the limiting reactant is the Fe2O3

Second step: Find out the moles in the reactant.

Molar weight Fe2O3: 159.7 g/m

Mass / Molar weight = moles

50 g /159.7 g/m = 0.313 moles

Third step: Analyse the reaction. 1 mol of Fe2O3 makes 2 moles of Fe.

1 mol Fe2O3 ____ 2Fe

0.313 mol Fe2O3 ____ 0.626 moles

Molar weight Fe = 55.85 g/m

Moles . molar weight = mass

55.85g/m . 0.626m = 34.9 grams

This will be the 100% yield of the reaction but we only made 28.65 g

34.9 g ____ 100%

28.65 g ____ 82.09 %
