Answer:

CaF2

Explanation:

Calcium fluoride is a solid formed by the chemical combination of Calcium (Ca) and Fluorine (F). Two molecules of fluorine (F2) and one molecule of Calcium (Ca) are needed to form the Calcium Fluoride molecule.

An ionic bond is formed between the Calcium and Fluorine atoms i.e. electrons are transferred from calcium atoms to fluorine atoms. The calcium ion is a cation with formula; Ca2+ while fluorine is an anion with formula; F-. Hence, it takes two molecules of Fluorine ion (F-) to form a relatively stable and neutral molecule with 1 molecule of Calcium ion (Ca2+).

The equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products are [HA]=0.280 M, [H+]=4.00×10−4 M, and [A−]=4.00×10−4 M. Calculate

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

6.24

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Concentration of HA, [HA] = 0.280 M,

Concentration of H+, [H+] = 4×10¯⁴ M

Concentration of A-, [A−] = 4×10¯⁴ M

pKa =.?

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

HA <===> H+ + A-

Next, we shall determine the equilibrium constant Ka for the reaction. This can be obtained as follow:

Equilibrium constant for a reaction is simply the ratio of concentration of the product raised to their coefficient to the concentration of the reactant raised to their coefficient.

The equilibrium constant for the above equation is given below:

Ka = [H+] [A−] /[HA]

Concentration of HA, [HA] = 0.280 M,

Concentration of H+, [H+] = 4×10¯⁴ M

Concentration of A-, [A−] = 4×10¯⁴ M

Equilibrium constant (Ka) =

Ka = (4×10¯⁴ × 4×10¯⁴) / 0.280

Ka = 1.6×10¯⁷/ 0.280

Ka = 5.71×10¯⁷

Therefore, the equilibrium constant for the reaction is 5.71×10¯⁷

Finally, we shall determine the pka for the reaction as follow:

Equilibrium constant, Ka = 5.71×10¯⁷

pKa =?

pKa = – Log Ka

pKa = – Log 5.71×10¯⁷

pKa = 6.24

Therefore, the pka for the reaction is 6.24.

If a sample containing 18.1 g of NH3 is reacted with 90.4 g of

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

3.64g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of NH₃ = 18.1g

Mass of Cu₂O = 90.4g

Unknown:

Limiting reactant = ?

Mass of N₂ formed = ?

Solution:

The reaction equation is given as:

Cu₂O + 2NH₃ → 6Cu + N₂ + 3H₂O

The limiting reactant is the one in short supply in the reaction. Let us find the number of moles of the given species;

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Molar mass of Cu₂O = 2(63.6) + 16 = 143.2g/mol

Molar mass of NH₃ = 14 + 3(1) = 17g/mol

Number of moles of Cu₂O = $\frac{18.1}{143.2}$ = 0.13moles

Number of moles of NH₃ = $\frac{90.4}{17}$ = 5.32moles

From this reaction;

1 mole of Cu₂O combines with 2 mole of NH₃

So 0.13moles of Cu₂O will combine with 0.13 x 2 mole of NH₃

= 0.26moles of NH₃

Therefore, Cu₂O is the limiting reactant. Ammonia is in excess;

Mass of N₂;

Mass = number of moles x molar mass

1 mole of Cu₂O will produce 1 mole of N₂

0.13 mole of Cu₂O will produce 0.13 mole of N₂

Mass = 0.13 x (2 x 14) = 3.64g
