Answer:

9.72g

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

HBr + NaOH —> NaBr + H2O

Step 2:

Determination of the masses of HBr and NaOH that reacted and the mass of H2O produced from the balanced equation.

From the equation above, 1 mole of HBr reacted with 1 mole NaOH to produce 1 mole of H2O

1 mole of HBr = 1 + 80 = 81g

1 mole of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40g

1 mole of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 18g

So, we can say that:

From the balanced equation above,

81g of HBr reacted with 40g of NaOH to produce 18g of H2O.

Step 3:

Determination of the limiting reactant. This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

81g of HBr reacted with 40g of NaOH.

Therefore, 66g of HBr will react with = (66 x 40)/81 = 32.6g of NaOH

We can see that the mass of NaOH (i.e 32.6g) obtained is far greater than was was given (21.6g). Therefore, NaOH is the limiting reactant.

Step 4:

Determination of the maximum mass of H2O produced from the reaction.

The limiting reactant is used to determine the maximum yield of the reaction.

The maximum mass of H2O produced is obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

40g of NaOH produce 18g of H2O.

Therefore, 21.6g of NaOH will produce = (21.6 x 18)/40 = 9.72g of H2O.

The reaction produce 9.72g of water (H2O)

Endorphins are generated in the body during exercise, which leads to better emotional health. Please select the best answer from
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer: Yes the statement is true.

Explanation: Endorphins are chemicals produced by the human bodies to relieve stress and pain.

They are produced mainly by brain and help to transmit electrical signals within nervous system, thus are called as neurotransmitters.

They are also called as "feel good chemicals" as they can act as pain relievers and happiness booster and thus lead to better emotional health.

Alenkasestr [34]

<u>Answer:</u> The sample of Cobalt-60 isotope must be replaced in January 2027

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

where,

t_{1/2} = half life of the reaction = 5.26 years

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{0.693}{5.26yrs}=0.132yrs^{-1}

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}

where,

k = rate constant = 0.132yr^{-1}

t = time taken for decay process = ? yr

[A_o] = initial amount of the sample = 100 grams

[A] = amount left after decay process =  (100 - 75) = 25 grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.132=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{100}{25}\\\\t=10.5yrs

The original sample was purchased in June 2016

As, June is the 6th month of the year, which means the time period will be 2016+\frac{6}{12}=2016.5

Adding the time in the original time period, we get:

2016.5+10.5=2027

Hence, the sample of Cobalt-60 isotope must be replaced in January 2027

A galvanic cell consists of one half-cell that contains Ag(s) and Ag+(aq), and one half-cell that contains Cu(s) and Cu2+(aq). W
Agata [3.3K]

Answer : The 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.

Explanation :

Galvanic cell : It is defined as a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy. It is also known as the voltaic cell or electrochemical cell.

In the galvanic cell, the oxidation occurs at an anode which is a negative electrode and the reduction occurs at the cathode which is a positive electrode.

We are taking the value of standard reduction potential form the standard table.

E^0_{[Ag^{+}/Ag]}=+0.80V

E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=+0.34V

In this cell, the component that has lower standard reduction potential gets oxidized and that is added to the anode electrode. The second forms the cathode electrode.

The balanced two-half reactions will be,

Oxidation half reaction (Anode) : Cu(s)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2e^-

Reduction half reaction (Cathode) : Ag^{+}(aq)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s)

Thus the overall reaction will be,

Cu(s)+2Ag^{+}(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+2Ag(s)

From this we conclude that, 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.

Hence, the 'Ag' is produced at the cathode electrode and 'Cu' is produced at anode electrode under standard conditions.
