A chemist prepares a solution of mercury(I) chloride Hg2Cl2 by measuring out

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

1.26 × 10^-8 M

Explanation:

We are given;

Number of moles of mercury (i) chloride as 0.000126 μmol

Volume is 100 mL

We are required to calculate the concentration of the solution.

We need to know that;

Concentration is also known as molarity is given by;

Molarity = Number of moles ÷ Volume

Number of moles = 1.26 × 10^-10 Moles

Volume = 0.01 L

Therefore;

Concentration = 1.26 × 10^-10 Moles ÷ 0.01 L

= 1.26 × 10^-8 M

Thus, the molarity of the solution is 1.26 × 10^-8 M

Sulfur undergoes combustion to yield sulfur trioxide by the following reaction equation:

12345 [234]

Answer:

Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = <u>(-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J</u>

Explanation:

Given reaction: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

Given: The enthalpy of reaction: ΔH = - 792 kJ

Given mass of S: w₂ = 42.8 g, Molar mass of S: m = 32 g/mol

In the given reaction, the number of moles of S reacting: n = 2

As, Number of moles: $n = \frac{mass\: (w_{1})}{molar\: mass\: (m)}$

∴ mass of S in 2 moles of S: $w_{1} = n \times m = 2\: mol \times 32\: g/mol = 64\: g$

<em>Given reaction</em>: 2S + 3O₂ → 2 SO₃

<em>In this reaction, the limiting reagent is S</em>

⇒ 2 moles S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

or, 64 g of S produces (- 792 kJ) heat.

∴ 42.8 g of S produces (x) amount of heat

⇒ <u><em>The amount of heat produced by 42.8 g S:</em></u>

$x = \frac{(- 792\: kJ) \times 42.8\: g}{64\: g} = (-529.65)\: kJ$

$\Rightarrow x = (-5.2965 \times 10^{2})\: kJ = (-5.2965 \times 10^{5})\: J$

$(\because 1 kJ = 10^{3} J)$

<u>Therefore, the amount of heat produced by the reaction of 42.8 g S = (-5.2965 × 10²) kJ = (-5.2965 × 10⁵) J</u>

Why are scientists worried that climate change will cause these toxic algae blooms to become more frequent?

ipn [44]

Answer: Eutrophication is the enhancement of the growth of algae in the water body.

Explanation:

The scientists are worried for the climate change as if the climate changed to prolonged rainy then the frequent raining can remove toxic chemicals from the agricultural sites, landfills, industries, and from other locations and deposit them to the water body (river, lakes, ponds, and others). The deposition of the salts of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur promotes the growth of algae in the water body. This leads to reduction in the concentration of oxygen in the water body. This is called eutrophication. The lack of oxygen can lead to mortality of aquatic animals.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer: The space occupied by the gas at 400 torr and $25^{o}C$ is 250 mL.

Explanation:

Given: $V_{1}$ = 250 mL, $P_{1}$ = 800 torr, $T_{1} = 50^{o}C$

$V_{2} = ?$ , $P_{2}$ = 400 torr, $T_{2} = 25^{o}C$

Formula used is as follows.

$\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \frac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}\\\frac{800 torr \times 250 mL}{50^{o}C} = \frac{400 torr \times V_{2}}{25^{o}C}\\V_{2} = 250 mL$

Thus, we can conclude that space occupied by the gas at 400 torr and $25^{o}C$ is 250 mL.

In a compound, such as CH3OH, how determine which is the central atom?

svetlana [45]

Answer:

Choose the least electronegative atom other than H.

Explanation:

A Lewis structure consists of <em>terminal atoms</em> and one or more <em>central atoms</em>.

H can be <em>only a terminal atom</em> because it can form only one bond.

So the central atom must be either C or O.

The central atom is the less electronegative atom: C.

So, start the Lewis structure with a central C atom.

Then attach an O atom to get C-O.

Finally, attach the H atoms.

The condensed formula often gives you a clue where they go.

The formula CH₃OH implies that there are 3 H atoms on C and one on O.

The connectivity of the atoms is then as in the diagram below.
