Answer:

The equilibrium will shift in forward direction.

Explanation:

The equilibrium between the carbonic acid and bicarbonate ion is shown below as:

H₂CO₃ (aq) ⇔ H⁺(aq) + HCO₃²⁻(aq)

According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the change in any state of the equilibrium say temperature, volume, pressure, or the concentration, the equilibrium will oppose these changes and will shift in such a way that the effect cause must be nullified.

If a strong base is added to the equilibrium, the base will accept hydrogen ions which are formed in the right side of the equilibrium. Thus, there will be less hydrogen ions present and to compensate this effect, the equilibrium will shift in forward direction.

Answer:

305 litres of NO gas will be produced from 916 L of NO₂

Explanation:

Given the balanced equation of the chemical reaction as follows:

3 NO₂ (g) + H₂O( l) —— 2 HNO₃ (l) + NO (g)

Under standard conditions, 3 moles of No₂ will react with 1 mole of water to produce 1 mole of NO gas.

Molar volume of a gas at STP is 22.4 L

Number of moles of NO₂ gas present in 916 L = 916/22.4 = 40.893 moles of NO₂ gas

From the mole ratio of NO₂ to NO in the equation of reaction,

Number of moles of NO that will be produced = 1/3 × 40.893 moles = 13.631 moles of NO gas

Volume of 13.631 moles of NO gas = 13.631 × 22.4

Volume of NO gas produced = 305.334L

Therefore, Volume of NO gas produced from the reaction of 916 L of NO₂ with water = 305 L

What is the concentration of NaCl in a solution if titration of 15.00 mL of the solution with 0.2503 M AgNO3 requires 20.22 mL o

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The concentration of NaCl = 0.3374 M

Explanation:

Given :

Molarity of AgNO₃ = 0.2503 M

Volume of AgNO₃ = 20.22 mL

The conversion of mL into L is shown below:

$1 mL= 10^{-3} L$

Thus, volume of the solution = 20.22×10⁻³ L

Molarity of a solution is the number of moles of solute present in 1 L of the solution.

$Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

The formula can be written for the calculation of moles as:

$Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

Thus,

$Moles\ of\ AgNO_3 =Molarity \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

$Moles\ of\ AgNO_3 =0.2503 \times {20.22\times 10^{-3}}\ moles$

$Moles\ of\ AgNO_3 = 5.0611 \times 10^{-3} moles$

The chemical reaction taking place:

$AgNO_3_(aq) + NaCl_(aq) \rightarrow AgCl_(s) + NaNO_3_(aq)$

According to reaction stoichiometry:

1 mole of AgNO₃ reacts with 1 mole of NaCl

Thus,

5.0611×10⁻³ moles of AgNO₃ reacts with 5.0611×10⁻³ moles of NaCl

Thus, moles of NaCl required = 5.0611×10⁻³ moles

Volume of NaCl required = 15.00 mL

The conversion of mL into L is shown below:

$1 mL= 10^{-3} L$

Thus, volume of the solution = 15.00×10⁻³ L

Applying in the formula of molarity as:

$Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}$

$Molarity\ of\ NaCl=\frac{5.0611\times 10^{-3}}{15.00\times 10^{-3}}$

$Molarity\ of\ NaCl= 0.3374 M$

Thus, the concentration of NaCl = 0.3374 M

Name the element described in each of the following:

borishaifa [10]

Alkaline earth metal whose cation isoelectric with Kr is strontium (Sr).

What is Alkaline earth metal?

Six chemical elements from group 2 of the periodic chart make up the alkaline earth metals. They are boron (R), barium (Ba), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), magnesium (Mg), beryllium (Be), and radium (Ra). The elements share many characteristics, including being glossy, silvery-white, moderately reactive metals at standard pressure and temperature.

They share a full outer s-orbital structurally, meaning that this orbital includes all two of its electrons, which the alkaline earth metals rapidly lose to form cations with a charge of +2 and an oxidation state of +2.

All of the identified alkaline earth metals are found in nature, albeit radium is not a primordial element but only appears as part of the decay chain of uranium and thorium.

The chemical element strontium has the atomic number 38 and the symbol Sr. Strontium is a soft, silver-white, yellowish metallic element that is an alkaline earth metal and has a strong reactivity to chemicals. When the metal is exposed to air, a thick layer of dark oxide forms. Similar to its two vertical neighbors in the periodic table, barium and calcium, strontium exhibits physical and chemical characteristics. It is mostly obtained from the minerals celestine and strontianite, where it is found naturally.

Ethylene produced by fermentation has a specific gravity of 0.787 at 25 degree Celsius. What is the volume of 125g of ethanol at

WITCHER [35]

Answer: The volume of given amount of ethanol at this temperature is 159.44 mL

Explanation:

Specific gravity is given by the formula:

$\text{Specific gravity}=\frac{\text{Density of a substance}}{\text{Density of water}}$
