Answer:

The alkaline earth metals (IIA elements) lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation. Aluminum, a member of the IIIA family, loses three electrons to form a 3+ cation. ... And all of them form an anion with a single negative charge. The VIA elements gain two electrons to form anions with a 2- charge.

If 495 milliliters of carbon dioxide at 25°C and 101.3 kilopascals reacts with excess water, what is the theoretical yield of ca

postnew [5]

Answer:- 1.24 g

Solution:- The balanced equation for the formation of carbonic acid by the reaction of carbon dioxide with water is:

$CO_2+H_2O\rightarrow H_2CO_3$

From balanced equation, there is 1:1 mol ratio between carbon dioxide and carbonic acid. So, moles of carbonic acid will be equal to the moles of carbon dioxide used.

Moles of carbon dioxide can be calculated using ideal gas law equation as it's volume, temperature and pressure are given.

we need to convert mL to L, degree C to kelvin and kilopascals to atm.

$495mL(\frac{1L}{1000mL})$ = 0.495 L

25 + 273 = 298 K

$101.3kPa(\frac{1atm}{101.3kPa)})$

= 1 atm

Ideal gas law equation is:

PV = nRT

We want to find out the n, so let's rearrange this:

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

R is the universal gas constant and it's value is $\frac{0.0821atm.L}{mol.K}$ .

Let's pug in the values in the equation and solve it for n.

$n=\frac{1*0.495}{0.0821*298}$

n = 0.02 mol

To convert the moles to grams we multiply the moles by the molar mass of carbonic acid.

Molar mass of carbonic acid = 2(1.008)+12.01+3(16.00)

= 2.016+12.01+48.00

= 62.03 gram per mol (rounded to two decimal places)

Let's multiply the moles by molar mass:

$0.02mol(\frac{62.03g}{mol})$

= 1.24 g

So, the theoretical yield of carbonic acid is 1.24 g.

Choose all the answers that apply. Which of the following will decrease reaction rate? increase pressure decrease temperature in

zavuch27 [327]

The following quantities will effect the reaction rate as follows:

1. On increasing Concentration of the reactant: Rate of the reaction will increases.

2. On increasing pressure : Increases the rate of reaction to the side where there are fewer number of molecules.

3.On increasing temperature of an endothermic reaction: Increases the rate of reaction

4. On decreasing temperature of an endothermic reaction: Increases the rate of reaction.

So the answer is increase pressure, decrease temperature, increase concentration will increases the rate of the reaction.

The diagram shows an animal cell.

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

Assume your diagram is like the one below.

X represents a mitochondrion.

That's where the Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle converts a single glucose molecule into six molecules of CO₂.

W is wrong. It represents a vacuole, which can store both nutrients and waste products for later elimination.

Y is wrong. It represents the nucleolus, which plays a critical role in the synthesis of ribosomes.

Z is wrong. It represents the cytoplasm, which is where cell processes like glycolysis and protein synthesis take place.

How would the calculated concentration of the hci be affected if the sodium hydroxide were poured from ma beaker that contained

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, the beaker that contained some water before NaOH were added means that the resulting solution in that beaker will be more dilute. When this diluted sodium hydroxide solution is added to HCl (not hci), the reaction below occurs

HCl + NaOH ⇒ NaCl + H₂O

The reaction above is a neutralization reaction. <u>The concentration of the acid (HCl) will reduce when a base (sodium hydroxide) is added and will also reduce more because of the presence of more water (in the base) which normally reduces the concentration of ions present in an acid or a base to become more dilute.</u>
