Be sure to answer all parts. The percent by mass of bicarbonate (HCO3−) in a certain Alka-Seltzer product is 32.5 percent. Calcu

late the volume of CO2 generated (in mL) at 37°C and 1.00 atm if a person were to accidentally ingest a 3.79-g tablet without following instructions. (Hint: The reaction occurs between HCO3− and HCl acid in the stomach.)

Answer : The volume of CO_2 will be, 514.11 ml

Explanation :

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

HCO_3^-+HCl\rightarrow Cl^-+H_2O+CO_2

First we have to calculate the  mass of HCO_3^- in tablet.

\text{Mass of }HCO_3^-\text{ in tablet}=32.5\% \times 3.79g=\frac{32.5}{100}\times 3.79g=1.23175g

Now we have to calculate the moles of HCO_3^-.

Molar mass of HCO_3^- = 1 + 12 + 3(16) = 61 g/mole

\text{Moles of }HCO_3^-=\frac{\text{Mass of }HCO_3^-}{\text{Molar mass of }HCO_3^-}=\frac{1.23175g}{61g/mole}=0.0202moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of CO_2.

From the balanced chemical reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of HCO_3^- react to give 1 mole of CO_2

So, 0.0202 mole of HCO_3^- react to give 0.0202 mole of CO_2

The moles of CO_2 = 0.0202 mole

Now we have to calculate the volume of CO_2 by using ideal gas equation.

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of gas = 1.00 atm

V = volume of gas = ?

T = temperature of gas = 37^oC=273+37=310K

n = number of moles of gas = 0.0202 mole

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get :

(1.00atm)\times V=0.0202 mole\times (0.0821L.atm/mole.K)\times (310K)

V=0.51411L=514.11ml

Therefore, the volume of CO_2 will be, 514.11 ml

TIME REMAINING 52:03 Considering the activity series given below for metals and nonmetals, which reaction will occur?
Luden [163]

Answer:

2NaBr + I2 Right arrow. 2NaI + Br2

2AgNO3 + Ni Right arrow. Ni(NO3)2 + 2Ag

Explanation:

The activity or electrochemical series is an arrangement of elements according to their order

of reactivity.

If we look at the reactions, one thing that we must note is that the reactions that can occur are those in which an element that is higher in the series displaces another element that is lower in the series.

Br is higher in the electrochemical series than I so it can displace it. Ni is higher than Ag in the electrochemical series hence it can displace it.

What are the two main reasons why most metals are more dense than most plastic and wood?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Most common metals like aluminum, copper, and iron are denser than wood. The atoms that makeup metals are generally heavier than the atoms in plastic and wood and they are packed closer together.

The hydroboration of an alkene occurs in ___________ which places the boron of the borane on the ___________ carbon of the doubl
Nana76 [90]

Answer: The hydroboration of an alkene occurs in TWO CONCERTED STEP which places the boron of the borane on the LESS SUBSTITUTED carbon of the double bond. The oxidizing agent then acts as a nucleophile, attacking the electrophilic BORON and resulting in the placement of a hydroxyl group on the attached carbon. Thus, the major product of the hydroboration oxidation reaction DOES NOT follow Markovnikov's rule.

Explanation:

Hydroboration is defined as the process which allows boron to attain the octet structure. This involves a two steps pathway which leads to the production of alcohol.

--> The first step: this involves the initiation of the addittion of borane to the alkene and this proceeds as a concerted reaction because bond breaking and bond formation occurs at the same time.

--> The second step: this involves the addition of boron which DOES NOT follow Markovnikov's rule( that is, Anti Markovnikov addition of Boron). This is so because the boron adds to the less substituted carbon of the alkene, which then places the hydrogen on the more substituted carbon.

Note: The Markovnikov rule in organic chemistry states that in alkene addition reactions, the electron-rich component of the reagent adds to the carbon atom with fewer hydrogen atoms bonded to it, while the electron-deficient component adds to the carbon atom with more hydrogen atoms bonded to it.
