IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

1. 2.17 dm3 VOLUME OF HCl IS PRODUCED WHEN 3.44 g OF Cl2 REACT AT STP

2. 4.87 MOLE OF Kr AT STP CONTAINS 109.088 dm3 .

3. THE PRESSURE WHEN 3.44 g OF Cl2 are reacted at 4.55 L AT 455 K IS 0.77 atm

Explanation:

1 Volume of HCl if 3.44 g of Cl2 are reacted at STP?

Equation for the reaction:

H2 + Cl2 ---------> 2HCl

1 mole of Cl2 reacts to form 2 mole of HCl

At STP, 1 mole of a gas is equal to the molar mass of the gas sample

35.5 * 2 g of Cl2 reacts to form 2 mole of HCl

3.44 g of Cl2 will react to form ( 3.44 * 2 / 71 ) mole of HCl

= 0.0969 mole of HCl

1 mole of HCl = 22.4 dm3

0.0969 mole of HCl = ( 22.4 * 0.0969 / 1)

= 2.17056 dm3

The volume of HCl is 2.17 dm3 when 3.44 g of Cl2 are reacted at STP.

2. What volume does 4.87 mol of Kr have at STP?

1 mole of a substance is 22.4 dm3 of the sample

1 mole of Kr = 22.4 dm3

4.87 mole of Kr = 4.87 * 22.4

= 109.088 dm3

4.87 mole of Kr at STP contains 109.088 dm3 volume

3. Whta pressure of HCl is generated if 3.44 g of Cl2 are reacted at 4.55 L at 455 K

Using the formula:

PV = nRT

V = 4.55 L

R = 0.082 L atm/ mol K

T = 455 K

m = 3.44 g

n = mass / molar mass

molar mass = ( 1 + 35.5) = 36.5 g/mol

n = 3.44 g / 36.5 g/mol

n = 0.094 mole

P = nRT / V

P = 0.094 * 0.082 * 455 / 4.55

P = 3.50714 / 4.55

P = 0.7708 atm

The pressure of HCl if 3.44 g of Cl2 are reacted at 4.55 L and 455 K is 0.7708 atm.

Why is alchemy not considered a science

Dima020 [189]

That is because Alchemy is not based on real research and facts, but rather on magic and occultism. Sure, many things in it have been used as basics for some chemistry, but most is false and incorrect.

If 3.8 moles of zinc metal react with 6.5 moles of silver nitrate, how many moles of silver metal can be formed, and how many mo

bulgar [2K]

<u>Answer:</u> 6.5 moles of silver metal is formed in the given chemical reaction. The moles of excess reagent left are 0.55 moles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the moles of silver formed and the moles of excess reagent left after the reaction, we need to balance the equation first and need to find the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical equation is:

$Zn+2AgNO_3\rightarrow Zn(NO_3)_2+2Ag$

By Stoichiometry:

2 moles of Silver nitrate reacts with 1 mole of Zinc metal

So, 6.5 moles of silver nitrate will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 6.5=3.25moles$ of zinc metal

The required amount of zinc metal is less than the given amount of zinc metal, hence, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Therefore, silver nitrate is the limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of silver nitrate produces 2 moles of silver metal

So, 6.5 moles of silver nitrate will produce = $\frac{2}{2}\times 6.5=6.5moles$ of silver metal.

Number of moles of excess reagent left after the completion of reaction = (3.8 - 3.25)moles = 0.55 moles

Hence, 6.5 moles of silver metal is formed in the given chemical reaction. The moles of excess reagent left are 0.55 moles.

Which of the following are compounds (select all that apply)

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

KNO2, KBr

Explanation:

Chemical compounds are any substance composed of identical molecules consisting of atoms of two or more chemical elements. So NO2 and KBr are compounds, Br2 and Fe are not.
