Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

At the introductory level of chemistry, I can think of only two situations when you use Greek prefixes.

They indicate the number of atoms or groups in a molecule when you are naming a compound.

1. Binary covalent compounds

For example, P₂S₅ is diphosphorus pentasulfide.

2. Hydrates

For example, Na₂SO₄·10H₂O is sodium sulfate decahydrate.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we know the heat of reaction per gram of reactant and we should know the total energy of reaction, but it is not there, we are going to assume it is 1200 J as usual in these problems, so you can change it to whatever your given heat is.

In such a way, we set up the math as shown below:

$m= 1200J*\frac{1kJ}{1000J}*\frac{1g}{31.0kJ}$

Which results:

$m=0.0387g$

Question 6 (3 points)

olga55 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Molarity of KOH = 0.26M

Volume of H₂SO₄ = 19.76mL

Molarity of H₂SO₄ = 0.20M

Unknown:

Volume of KOH = ?

Solution:

This is a neutralization reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to produce salt and water:

H₂SO₄ + 2KOH → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

We solve from the known to the unknown in the reaction.

The known is the acid and from there we can find the number of moles of the acid to be completely neutralized:

Number of moles of acid = molarity x volume

Number of moles of acid = 19.76 x 0.20 = 3.95mol

From the balanced reaction equation:

1 mole of acid reacts with 2 moles of the bases KOH

3.95mole of acid would react with 3.95moles x 2 of the base

Number of moles of reacting base = 7.90moles

To find the volume of base;

Volume of base = $\frac{number of moles of base}{molarity}$

Volume = $\frac{7.90}{0.26}$ = 30.40mL

what is the chemical reaction and mole ratio between oxalate and permanganate in the titration reaction

Tom [10]

5C2O4^(2-)(aq) + 2MnO4^-(aq) + 16H+(aq) → 10CO2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq) + 8H2O(l)` is the chemical reaction and mole ratio between oxalate and permanganate in the titration reaction.

A chemical reaction is a procedure that causes one group of chemical components to change chemically into another. Chemical reactions, which can frequently be described by a chemical equation, traditionally include changes that only affect the locations of electrons in the formation and dissolution of chemical bonds between atoms, with no change to the nuclei (no change to the elements present). The study of chemical processes involving unstable and radioactive elements, where both electronic and nuclear changes may take place, is known as nuclear chemistry.

Given the equation: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O, how many moles of oxygen are needed to react with 13 moles of hydrogen

bulgar [2K]

Explanation:

2H2 + O2 = 2H2O

2mol. 1mol. 2mol

2mol reacts with 1mol

13mol reacts with x

x=13mol × 1mol

2mol

x= 13mol

2mol

x= 6.5mol of oxygen
