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.

Consider the reaction below for which K = 78.2 atm-1. A(g) + B(g) ↔ C(g) Assume that 0.386 mol C(g) is placed in the cylinder re

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

1.65 L

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given as:

A + B ⇄ C

where;

numbers of moles = 0.386 mol C (g)

Volume = 7.29 L

Molar concentration of C = $\frac{0.386}{7.29}$

= 0.053 M

A + B ⇄ C

Initial 0 0 0.530

Change +x +x - x

Equilibrium x x (0.0530 - x)

$K = \frac{[C]}{[A][B]}$

where

K is given as ; 78.2 atm-1.

So, we have:

$78.2=\frac{[0.0530-x]}{[x][x]}$

$78.2= \frac{(0.0530-x)}{(x^2)}$

$78.2x^2= 0.0530-x$

$78.2x^2+x-0.0530=0$

Using quadratic formula;

$\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

where; a = 78.2 ; b = 1 ; c= - 0.0530

= $\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ or $\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$

= $\frac{-(1)+\sqrt{(1)^2-4(78.2)(-0.0530)} }{2(78.2)}$ or $\frac{-(1)-\sqrt{(1)^2-4(78.2)(-0.0530)} }{2(78.2)}$

= 0.0204 or -0.0332

Going by the positive value; we have:

x = 0.0204

[A] = 0.0204

[B] = 0.0204

[C] = 0.0530 - x

= 0.0530 - 0.0204

= 0.0326

Total number of moles at equilibrium = 0.0204 + 0.0204 + 0.0326

= 0.0734

Finally, we can calculate the volume of the cylinder at equilibrium using the ideal gas; PV =nRT

if we make V the subject of the formula; we have:

$V = \frac{nRT}{P}$

where;

P (pressure) = 1 atm

n (number of moles) = 0.0734 mole

R (rate constant) = 0.0821 L-atm/mol-K

T = 273.15 K (fixed constant temperature )

V (volume) = ???

$V=\frac{(0.0734*0.0821*273.15)}{(1.00)}$

V = 1.64604

V ≅ 1.65 L

What volume of 1.00 m hcl in liters is needed to react completely (with nothing left over) with 0.750 l of 0.100 m na2co3?

kotykmax [81]

The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows
Na₂CO₃ + 2HCl --> 2NaCl + CO₂ + H₂O
stoichiometry of Na₂CO₃ to HCl is 1:2
number of Na₂CO₃ moles reacted = molarity x volume
number of Na₂CO₃ moles = 0.100 mol/L x 0.750 L = 0.0750 mol
according to molar ratio of 1:2
1 mol of Na₂CO₃ reacts with 2 mol of HCl
then 0.0750 mol of Na₂CO₃ mol reacts with - 2 x 0.0750 = 0.150 mol
molarity of given HCl solution is 1.00 mol/L
molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution
there are 1.00 mol in 1 L of solution
therefore there are 0.150 mol in - 0.150 mol / 1.00 mol/L = 0.150 L
volume of HCl required is 0.150 L

an unknown molecule is found to consist of 24.2% carbon by mass, 4.0% hydrogen by mass and the remaining mass is due to chlorine

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

C3 H6 Cl 3

Explanation:

C -24.2%

H - 4.0%

Cl - (100-24.2 - 4.0)=73.8 %

We can take 100g of the substance, then we have

C -24.2 g

H - 4.0 g

Cl - 73.8 g

Find the moles of these elements

C -24.2 g/12.0 g/mol =2.0 mol

H - 4.0 g/1.0 g/mol = 4. 0 mol

Cl - 73.8 g/ 35.5 g/mol = 2.1 mol

Ratio of these elements gives simplest formula of the substance

C : H : Cl = 2 : 4 : 2 = 1 : 2 : 1

CH2Cl

Molar mass (CH2Cl) = 1*12.0 +2*1.0 + 1*35.5 = 49.5 g/mol

Real molar mass = 150 g/mol

real molar mass/ Molar mass (CH2Cl) = 150 /49.5=3

So, Real formula should be C3 H6 Cl 3.
