Muriatic acid, HCl, is often used to remove rust. A solution of muriatic acid, HCl, reacts with Fe2O3 deposits on industrial equ

ipment.
How many liters of 5.50 M HCl would be needed to react completely with 439 g Fe2O3? (molar mass of HCl = 36.46 g/mol) (molar mass of Fe2O3 =159.70 g/mol).
Use the equation:
Fe2O3(s) + 6HCl(aq) → 2FeCl3(aq) + 3H2O,
to solve this problem.

Answer:

3L

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction.

Fe2O3(s) + 6HCl(aq) → 2FeCl3(aq) + 3H2O

Step 2 :

Determination of the masses of HCl and Fe2O3 that reacted from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of Fe2O3 = 159.70g/mol

Molar mass of HCl = 36.46 g/mol

Mass of HCl from the balanced equation = 6 x 36.46 = 218.76g

From the balanced equation above,

159.70g of Fe2O3 reacted with 218.76g of HCl

Step 3:

Determination of the mass of HCl needed to react with 439g of Fe2O3. This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

159.70g of Fe2O3 reacted with 218.76g of HCl.

Therefore, 439g of Fe2O3 will react with = (439 x 218.76) /159.70 = 601.35g of HCl.

Step 4:

Conversion of 601.35g of HCl to mole. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of HCl = 36.46 g/mol

Mass of HCl = 601.35g

Number of mole = Mass/Molar Mass

Number of mole of HCl = 601.35/36.46

Number of mole of HCl = 16.49 moles

Step 5:

Determination of the volume of the HCl that reacted.

This is illustrated below:

Mole of HCl = 16.49 moles

Molarity of HCl = 5.50 M

Volume =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Volume = mole /Molarity

Volume = 16.49/5.5

Volume of HCl = 3L

Therefore the volume of HCl needed for the reaction is 3L

Calculate the solubility of hydrogen in water at an atmospheric pressure of 0.380 atm (a typical value at high altitude).

Pani-rosa [81]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Calculate the solubility of hydrogen in water at an atmospheric pressure of 0.380 atm (a typical value at high altitude).

Atmospheric Gas Mole Fraction kH mol/(L*atm)

$N_2$ $7.81\times 10^{-1}$ $6.70\times 10^{-4}$

$O_2$ $2.10\times 10^{-1}$ $1.30\times 10^{-3}$

Ar $9.34\times 10^{-3}$ $1.40\times 10^{-3}$

$CO_2$ $3.33\times 10^{-4}$ $3.50\times 10^{-2}$

$CH_4$ $2.00\times 10^{-6}$ $1.40\times 10^{-3}$

$H_2$ $5.00\times 10^{-7}$ $7.80\times 10^{-4}$

<u>Answer:</u> The solubility of hydrogen gas in water at given atmospheric pressure is $1.48\times 10^{-10}M$

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the partial pressure of hydrogen gas, we use the equation given by Raoult's law, which is:

$p_{\text{hydrogen gas}}=p_T\times \chi_{\text{hydrogen gas}}$

where,

$p_A$ = partial pressure of hydrogen gas = ?

$p_T$ = total pressure = 0.380 atm

$\chi_A$ = mole fraction of hydrogen gas = $5.00\times 10^{-7}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$p_{\text{hydrogen gas}}=0.380\times 5.00\times 10^{-7}\\\\p_{\text{hydrogen gas}}=1.9\times 10^{-7}atm$

To calculate the molar solubility, we use the equation given by Henry's law, which is:

$C_{H_2}=K_H\times p_{H_2}$

where,

$K_H$ = Henry's constant = $7.80\times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm$

$p_{H_2}$ = partial pressure of hydrogen gas = $1.9\times 10^{-7}atm$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$C_{H_2}=7.80\times 10^{-4}mol/L.atm\times 1.9\times 10^{-7}atm\\\\C_{CO_2}=1.48\times 10^{-10}M$

Hence, the solubility of hydrogen gas in water at given atmospheric pressure is $1.48\times 10^{-10}M$

Question 2 The metal molybdenum becomes superconducting at temperatures below 0.90K. Calculate the temperature at which molybden

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Temperature at which molybdenum becomes superconducting is-272.25°C

Explanation:

Conductor are those hard substances which allows path of electric current through them. And super conductors are those hard substances which have resistance against the flow of electric current through them.

As given, molybdenum becomes superconducting at temperatures below 0.90 K.

Temperature in Kelvins can be converted in °C by relation:

T(°C)=273.15-T(K)

Molybdenum becomes superconducting in degrees Celsius.

T(°C)=273.15-0.90= -272.25 °C

Temperature at which molybdenum becomes superconducting is -272.25 °C

How many molecules are there in 45.0 grams of CH ?

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

There are 1.8021 ⋅ 1024 molecules of CH4 in 48 grams of CH4. To answer this question, you must understand how to convert grams of a molecule into the number of molecules. To do this, you have to utilize the concepts of moles and molar mass. A mole is just a unit of measurement. Avogadro's number is equal to 6.022 ⋅1023 molecules/mole. i think please dont complain to me if its wrong im sorry

What is the difference between a crystalline material and an amorphous material? Give an example of each type.

Igoryamba

Answer :

As we know that there are two types of solids.

(1) Amorphous Solids

(2) Crystalline Solids

Amorphous Solids : It is a type of solids in which the constituent particles of the matter are arranged in the random manner.

That means there is no proper arrangement of atoms in solid lattice but the atoms or molecules are closely spaced that means they can move freely from one place to another.

The examples of amorphous solid are, plastics, glass, rubber, metallic glass, polymers, gel, fused silica, pitch tar, thin film lubricants, wax.

Crystalline Solids : It is a type of solids where the constituent particles of the matter are arranged in the specific manner.

That means there is a proper arrangement of atoms in solid lattice. They do not have space between the molecules or atoms and they can not move freely from one place to another.

The examples of crystalline solids are, quartz, calcite, sugar, mica, diamonds, snowflakes, rock, calcium fluoride, silicon dioxide, alum.
