Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Matter as applied to chemical reactions says that matter is neither created nor distroyed, only changed in form. This implies that the mass of substances going into a reaction process must equal the mass of products generated during the reaction process.

Empirically,

∑ mass reactants = ∑ mass products

One can test this idea after balancing a chemical equation by determining the sum of formula weights of reactants and products; then compare. If reaction was properly balanced, the total mass reactants = total mass of products.

Example:

Combustion of Methane =>  CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g)   =>  CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)

Equation Weights =>             16amu + 64amu <=> 44amu +  36amu

Mass Reactants = Mass Products  => 80amu <=> 80amu.

*amu = atomic mass units => sum of atomic weights of elements

2. Which of the following expressions is generally used for solubility? (1 point)
miskamm [114]

<u>Answer:</u>

For 2: The correct answer is grams of solute per 100 grams of solvent.

For 3: The correct answer is supersaturated.

For 4: the correct answer is the solubility decreases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For 2:</u>

Solubility is defined as the property which refers to the ability of the solute that can be dissolved in a solvent. It is defined as the number of grams of  solute per 100 grams of solvent.

  • <u>For 3:</u>

Unsaturated solution is defined as the solution in which amount of solute that is dissolved in the solvent is less.

Saturated solution is defined as the solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in the given amount of solvent.

Emulsion is defined as the dispersion of one liquid in another liquid in which it is not soluble.

Supersaturated solution is defined as the solution in which solvent contains more amount of solute than the required amount. These solutions help in the process of crystallization.

When a crystal is added to a <u>supersaturated solution</u>, more and more particles come out of the solution and this process is known as crystallization.

  • <u>For 4:</u>

According to the Henry's Law

The solubility of the gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas.

\text{Solubility of a gas in a liquid}\propto \text{Partial pressure of the gas}

With increase in the partial pressure, the solubility of the gas in liquid also increases and vice-versa.

Hence, the correct answer is the solubility decreases.

For the following reaction, 9.30 grams of glucose (C6H12O6) are allowed to react with 13.8 grams of oxygen gas. glucose (C6H12O6
amid [387]

Answer:

13.7 g of CO₂

Limiting reactant:  C₆H₁₂O₆

3.81 g of O₂

Explanation:

We convert the mass of the reactants to moles, in order to find out the limiting reactant and the excess reagent

9.30 g / 180 g/mol = 0.052 moles of glucose

13.8 g / 32 g/mol = 0.431 moles of oxygen

The equation is:  C₆H₁₂O₆(s) + 6O₂ (g) → 6CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (l)

Ratio is 1:6. Let's consider this rule of three:

1 mol of glucose reacts with 6 moles of oxygen

Then, 0.052 moles of glucose must react with (0.052 . 6) /1 = 0.312 moles

We have 0.431 moles of oxygen and we only need 0.312 moles. This means that an amount of oxygen still remains after the reaction is complete:

0.431 - 0.312 = 0.119 moles. We convert the moles to mass:

0.119 mol . 32 g / 1mol = 3.81 g

In conclussion, the limiting reactant is the glucose.

6 moles of oxygen react with 1 mol of glucose

0.431 moles of O₂ will react with (0.431 . 1) /6 = 0.072 moles of glucose

We only have 0.052 moles, so it is ok to say, that glucose is the limiting cause we do not have enough glucose.

Let's verify, the maximum amount of carbon dioxide that can be formed:

1 mol of glucose can produce 6 moles of CO₂

Therefore 0.052 moles of glucose will produce (0.052 . 6) /1 = 0.312 moles

We convert the moles to mass → 0.312 mol . 44 g /1 mol = 13.7 g

In preparation for a demonstration, your professor brings a 1.50−L bottle of sulfur dioxide into the lecture hall before class t
solmaris [256]

Answer:

4.81 moles

Explanation:

The total pressure of the gas = Pressure at which gauge reads zero + pressure read by it.

Pressure at which gauge reads zero = 14.7 psi

Pressure read by the gauge = 988 psi

Total pressure = 14.7 + 988 psi = 1002.7 psi

Also, P (psi) = P (atm) / 14.696

Pressure = 1002.7 / 14.696  = 68.2297 atm

Temperature = 25 °C

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T = (25 + 273.15) K = 298.15 K  

Volume = 1.50 L

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,  

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature  

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

68.2297 atm × 1.5 L = n × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 298.15 K  

⇒n = 4.81 moles
