Answer:-
2328.454 grams
Explanation:-
Volume V = 18.4 litres
Temperature T = 15 C + 273 = 288 K
Pressure P = 1.5 x 10^ 3 KPa
We know universal Gas constant R = 8.314 L KPa K-1 mol-1
Using the relation PV = nRT
Number of moles of oxygen gas n = PV / RT
Plugging in the values
n = (1.5 x 10^3 KPa ) x ( 18.4 litres ) / ( 8.314 L KPa K-1 mol-1 x 288 K)
n = 11.527 mol
Now the balanced chemical equation for this reaction is
2KNO3 --> 2KNO2 + O2
From the equation we can see that
1 mol of O2 is produced from 2 mol of KNO3.
∴ 11.527 mol of O2 is produced from 2 x 11.527 mol of KNO3.
= 23.054 mol of KNO3
Molar mass of KNO3 = 39 x 1 + 14 x 1 + 16 x 3 = 101 grams / mol
Mass of KNO3 = 23.054 mol x 101 gram / mol
= 2328.454 grams
Answer:
Explanation:
The equation is given as:
CH3CHOHC2H4CHO + CH3OH --> CYCLIC ACETAL + H2O
This above equation is carried out in the presence of a strong acid. There are five mechanisms employed and they are:
Step 1:
Initial formation of the hemiacetal which takes several steps
Step 2:
Addition of a proton. The hemicetal is protonated on the hydroxyl group (-OH group)
Step 3:
As seen a bond is broken to give the H2O molecule and a resonance stabilized cation.
The carbonyl group on the cation is enriched with the oxygen-18 got from the H2O molecule as seen in the mechanism.
Step 4:
An attraction occurs between electrophile and nucleophile i.e the stabilised cation and the lone paids of the methanol.
Step 5:
Finally, a proton (+) is removed from the molecule by a lone pair of electron on the methanol.
Attached are the Steps 1 - 5 mechanism below
They speed up reactions by lowering activation energy. Many enzymes change shape when substrates bind.
Answer:
2Ag(s) + Cu^2+(aq) ----------> 2Ag^+(aq) + Cu(s)
Explanation:
Ag(s)/Ag^+ (aq) is the anode as shown while Cu^2+(aq)/Cu^2(s) is the cathode.
E°cell= E°cathode -E°anode= 0.34 -0.80= -0.5V
The cell is not spontaneous as written because E°cell is negative. This implies that the electrodes of the cell must be interchanged to make the cell spontaneous.
Answer:
Antoine Lavoisier and Johann Wolfang Döbereiner organized the elements based on properties such as how the elements reacts or whether they are solid or liquid.
Explanation:
The periodic table of the elements as we have it today was developed as a result of the work of several notable centuries who lived centuries apart, all of who made notable contributions to development of the modern periodic table in use today.
In 1789, Antoine Lavoisier, a French Chemist provided a definition of elemets which he defined as a substance whose smallest units cannot be broken down into a simpler substance. He further grouped the elements into two as metals and nonmetals.
In 1829, German physicist Johann Wolfang Döbereiner arranged elements in groups of three in increasing order of atomic weight and called them triads. His arrangement owasf elements into triads was based on his observation of similarities in physical and chemical properties of certain elements.
John Newlands, a British Chemist was the first to arrange the elements into a periodic table with increasing order of atomic masses.
In 1869, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev developed a periodic table which provided a framework the modern periodic table. He arranged the elements according to their atomic weight, leaving gaps for elements that were yet to be discovered.
The modern periodic table arranges elements based on increasing atomic number.
