When potassium metal is placed in water, a large amount of energy is released as potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas are produc

ed in the reaction 2K(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2KOH(aq) + H2(g). Your lab partner says this is a redox reaction and a combustion reaction. Do you agree? Defend your answer by explaining whether or not it meets the requirements of each type of reaction.

Answer: The given reaction redox reaction not a combustion reaction.

Explanation:

Redox Reaction is defined chemical reaction in which oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously. In Oxidation addition of oxygen occurs and in reduction addition of hydrogen occurs.

2K+2H_2O\rightarrow 2KOH+H_2

Potassium is getting oxidized by addition of oxygen.

Water us reduced to hydrogen gas by removal of oxygen

Combustion reaction is defined as chemical reaction in which burning of a chemical compound or element takes place in presence of oxygen occurs.

In the given reaction, oxygen molecule is absent which means this reaction is not combustion reaction.

Hence ,the given reaction redox reaction not a combustion reaction.

I need chemistry help! How would I set up these problems?
Bond [772]

Answer: -

1) 8.33 minutes

2) 118.39 in/ s

180.43 m/min

10.83 km/ hr

Explanation: -

Speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Distance of the earth from the sun= 93 million miles

We know 1 million = 1,000,000

Also 1 mile = 1609 m

Distance of the earth from the sun= 93 million miles

= 93,000,000 miles.

= 1.5 x 10^{11} m

Time taken = \frac{Distance}{Speed}

= \frac{1.5 x [tex] 10^{11} m}{3 x 10⁸ m/s} [/tex]

= 500 s

= 500/ 60

= 8.33 minutes

2) Distance = 1 mile = 63360 inches

Time taken = 8.92 min

= 8.92 x 60

= 535.2 s

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

= \frac{63360 inches}{535.2 s}

= 118.39 in/ s

Distance = 1 mile = 63360 inches = 63360 x 2.54 cm = 63360 x 2.54 x 10^{-2} m

Time taken = 8.92 min

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

= \frac{63360 x 2.54 x [tex] 10^{-2} m}{8.92 min} [/tex]

= 180.43 m/ min

1 m = 10⁻³ Km

1 min = 1/60 hour

1 m /min = 10⁻³ km/ \frac{1}{60 hour}

= 60/1000

=0.06 km/hr

180.43 m / min = 180 x 0.06 km / hr

= 10.93 km / hr

Determine the number of moles in 382.5g of CO-2
exis [7]

Answer: 8.691 mols of CO₂

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a given grams, you want to use the molar mass.

Let's first find the molar mass of CO₂.

Carbon's molar mass is 12.011 g/mol

Oxygen's molar mass is 15.999 g/mol

To find molar mass of CO₂, we want to add up the molar mass of carbon and oxygen. Remember, there are 2 Oxygens so we need to mulitply that by 2.

12.011+2(15.999)=44.009 g/mol

Now that we have molar mass, we can convert 382.5 g to mols.

382.5g*\frac{1 mol}{44.009g} =8.691 mol

There are about 8.691 mols of CO₂.

CS2 (s) + 3 O2 (g) → CO2 (g) + 2 SO2 (g)
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

2.067 L ≅ 2.07 L.

Explanation:

  • The balanced equation for the mentioned reaction is:

<em>CS₂(g) + 3O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2SO₂(g),</em>

It is clear that 1.0 mole of CS₂ react with 3.0 mole of O₂ to produce 1.0 mole of CO₂ and 2.0 moles of SO₂.

  • At STP, 3.6 L of H₂ reacts with (?? L) of oxygen gas:

It is known that at STP: every 1.0 mol of any gas occupies 22.4 L.

<u><em>using cross multiplication:</em></u>

1.0 mol of O₂ represents → 22.4 L.

??? mol of O₂ represents → 3.1 L.

∴ 3.1 L of O₂ represents = (1.0 mol)(3.1 L)/(22.4 L) = 0.1384 mol.

  • To find the no. of moles of SO₂ produced from 3.1 liters (0.1384 mol) of hydrogen:

<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>

3.0 mol of O₂ produce → 2.0 mol of SO₂, from stichiometry.

0.1384 mol of O₂ produce → ??? mol of SO₂.

∴ The no. of moles of SO₂ = (2.0 mol)(0.1384 mol)/(3.0 mol) = 0.09227 mol.

  • Again, using cross multiplication:

1.0 mol of SO₂ represents → 22.4 L, at STP.

0.09227 mol of SO₂ represents → ??? L.

∴ The no. of liters of SO₂ will be produced = (0.09227 mol)(22.4 L)/(1.0 mol) = 2.067 L ≅ 2.07 L.
