Sort the following chemicals for their ability to act as an oxidizer. List from strongest to weakest; 1 being strongest, 6 being

spin [16.1K]

Answer : If we list the given chemicals according to their increasing oxidising ability then the order will be like this; 1 being the strongest and 6 being the weakest
1. K > 2. Ca >3. Ni> 4. Cu> 5. Ag> 6.Au

Explanation : Considering the reduction potential of each chemical species it will be easy to identify their oxidising capacity and differentiate accordingly;

More negative the value of reduction potential more is the ability of the chemical species to get oxidised.

Chemicals with their reduction potential is given below.

K has -2.92; Ca has -2.76; Ni has -0.23; Cu has 0.52; Ag has 1.50 and Au has 1.50.

A dunk tank hold 30,533 moles of water? How many grams of water are in the tank?

liubo4ka [24]

The mass of water in the tank, given the data from the question is 549594 g

<h3> Description of mole </h3>

The mole of a substance is related to it's mass and molar mass according to the following equation:

Mole = mass / molar mass

<h3>How to determine the mass of water in the tank</h3>

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mole of water = 30533 moles
Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol
Mass of water = ?

The mass of the water can be obtained as follow:

Mass = mole × molar mass

Mass of water = 30533 × 18

Mass of water = 549594 g

A 0.4647-g sample of a compound known to contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen was burned in oxygen to yield 0.01962 mol of

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can show how the empirical formula is found by following the shown below procedure:

1. Compute the moles of carbon in carbon dioxide as the only source of carbon at the products:

$n_C=0.01962molCO_2*\frac{1molC}{1molCO_2} =0.01962molC$

2. Compute the moles of hydrogen in water as the only source of hydrogen at the products:

$n_H=0.01961molH_2O*\frac{2molH}{1molH_2O}=0.03922molH$

3. Compute the mass of oxygen by subtracting the mass of both carbon and hydrogen from the 0.4647-g sample:

$m_O=0.4647g-0.01962molC*\frac{12gC}{1molC}-0.03922molH*\frac{1gH}{1molH} =0.1900gO$

4. Compute the moles of oxygen by using its molar mass:

$n_O=0.1900gO*\frac{1molO}{16gO}=0.01188molO$

5. Divide the moles of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen by the moles of oxygen (smallest one) to find the subscripts in the empirical formula:

$C=\frac{0.01962}{0.01188}=1.65\\ \\H=\frac{0.03922}{0.01188} =3.3\\\\O=\frac{0.01188}{0.01188} =1$

6. Search for the closest whole number (in this case multiply by 2):

$C_3H_6O_2$

Moreover, the empirical formula suggests this compound could be carboxylic acid since it has two oxygen atoms, nevertheless, this is not true since the molar mass is 222.27 g/mol, therefore, we should compute the molar mass of the empirical formula, that is:

$M=12*3+1*6+16*2=74g/mol$

Which is about three times in the molecular formula, for that reason, the actual formula is:

$C_9H_{18}O_6$

It suggest that the compound has a highly oxidizing character due to the presence of oxygen, therefore, we cannot predict the distribution of the functional groups as it could contain, carboxyl, carbonyl, hydroxyl or even peroxi.

Best regards.
