Chemical equations must always balance due to the principles outlined in The Law Of Conservation of Matter. This scientific law states that matter cannot be created out of nothing nor can it be destroyed.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Law of conservation of mass state that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed.  Also chemical reaction of the sum is outlined in The Law Of Conservation of Matter.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a chemical reaction the sum of the masses of the products will be equal to the sum of the masses of the reactants. <em>Thus a chemical reaction conserves the total mass.</em> For this law to be valid the system where the reactions take place should be closed.

It has to be properly ensured that there is no transfer of energy or mass between the system and its outer environment. <em>If that happens the sum of masses of products differs from that of the reactants due to the gain or loss of matter to surroundings.  </em>

Compound A reacts with Compound B to form only one product, Compound C, and it's known the usual percent yield of C in this reac
frez [133]

Given :

Compound A reacts with Compound B to form only one product, Compound C.

The usual percent yield of C in this reaction is 40%.

10.0 g of A are reacted with excess Compound B, and 6.4 g of Compound C

To Find :

The theoretical yield of C.

Solution :

We know, % yield is given by :

\%\ yield = \dfrac{actual\ yield}{theoretical\ yield }\times 100

Putting given values , we get :

40 = \dfrac{6.4}{theoretical\ yield }\times 100\\\\theoretical\ yield=\dfrac{6.4\times 100}{40}\\\\theoretical\ yield=16\ g

Therefore, theoretical yield of C is 16 g.

Hence, this is the required solution.

1. Rank the following compounds in order of decreasing acid strength using periodic trends. Rank the acids from strongest to wea
Softa [21]

Answer:

1. HBr>HCl> H2S >BH3

2.K_a1 very large — H2SO4

K_a1= 1.7 x 10^−2 — H2SO3

K_a1 = 1.7 x 10^−7 — H2S

Explanation:

As one goes down a row in the Periodic Table the properties that determine the acid strength can be observed.

The atoms get larger in radius meaning that in strength, the strength of the bonds get weaker, conversely meaning that the acids get stronger.

For the halogen-containing acids above following the rows and periods, HBr has the strongest bond and is the strongest acid and others follow in this order.

HBr>HCl> H2S >BH3

Acid Dissociation Constant provides us with information known as the ionization constant which comes in handy to measure the acid's strength. The meaning of the proportions are thus, the higher the Ka value, the stronger the acid i.e. it liberates more number of hydrogen ions per mole of acid in solution.

In solution strong acids completely dissociate hence, the value of dissociation constant of strong acids is very high.

Following the cues above on Ka;

K_a1 very large — H2SO4

K_a1= 1.7 x 10^−2 — H2SO3

K_a1 = 1.7 x 10^−7 — H2S

How many moles of aluminum are needed to react completely with 1.2 mol of feo
Amanda [17]

Answer:

0.8 mol.

Explanation:

  • The balanced equation for the reaction between Al and FeO is represented as:

<em>2Al + 3FeO → 3Fe + Al₂O₃,</em>

It is clear that 2 mol of Al react with 3 mol of FeO to produce 3 mol of Fe and 1 mol of Al₂O₃.

<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>

2 mol of Al needs → 3 mol of FeO, from stichiometry.

??? mol of Al needs → 1.2 mol of FeO.

∴<em> The no. of moles of Al are needed to react completely with 1.2 mol of FeO </em>= (2 mol)(1.2 mol)/(3 mol) = <em>0.8 mol.</em>

How many moles are there in 3.612 x 1024 molecules of CaO?
melamori03 [73]

The number of moles in  3.612 x 10²⁴ molecules of CaO is  6 moles.

<h3>Number of moles in the molecules</h3>

The number of moles in  3.612 x 10²⁴ molecules of CaO is calculated as follows;

6.02 x 10²³ molecules = 1 mole

3.612 x 10²⁴ molecules = ?

= (3.612 x 10²⁴ ) / (6.02 x 10²³ )

= 6 moles

Thus, the number of moles in  3.612 x 10²⁴ molecules of CaO is  6 moles.
