1. Household bleach (NaOCl) is really a solution of sodium hypochlorite in water. It is made by reacting chlorine gas and sodium

hydroxide, as shown in the unbalanced chemical equation below: NaOH (aq) + Cl2 (g) → NaOCl (aq) + NaCl (aq) + H2 O (l) A student bubbles 83.0g of chlorine gas into an excess of aqueous sodium hydroxide. After analyzing his products, he determines that 22.0 grams of bleach are actually made. (a) What is the oxidation number of chlorine in bleach (NaOCl)? (b) Is this reaction above redox? Explain. (c) What is the percent yield of this reaction?

This is a three-part question

Answers:

  • a) The oxidation number of chlorine in bleach (NaOCl) is +1.

  • b) Yes, this is a redox reaction

  • c) The percen yield is 56.8%

Explanation:

<u>1) Part (a) What is the oxidation number of chlorine in bleach (NaOCl)? </u>

a) <u>Rule one</u>: In a neutral compound the sum of the oxidation states is zero.

Since NaOCl is a neutral compound the sum of the oxidation states of Na, O and Cl is 0.

b) <u>Rule two</u>: since Na is an alkaline metal, its oxidation state is +1

c) <u>Rule three</u>: the most common state of oxygen, except in peroxides, is -2.

Then,

  • Na: +1
  • O:   -2
  • Cl:    x

      Sum = +1 - 2 + x = 0 ⇒ x = 2 - 1 = 1

<u>Conclusion</u>: the oxidation state of NaOCl is +1.

<u>2) Part (b) Is this reaction above redox?  </u>

In a redox reaction the oxidation states of some substances increase (get oxidized) and the oxidation states of some substances decrease (get reduced).

The reaction is represented by the chemical equation given:

  • NaOH (aq) + Cl₂ (g) → NaOCl (aq) + NaCl (aq) + H₂O (l)

Since the chlorine gas (Cl₂) is a molecule of only chlorine atoms, its oxidation state is zero, and since chlorine is forming compounds on the right side (NaOCl and NaCl) you can immediately conclude that the oxidation state of chlorine changed, and this is a redox reaction.

In fact:

  • Oxidation state of Cl in Cl₂: 0
  • Oxidation state of Cl in NaOCl: +1 (previously determined)
  • Oxidation state of Cl in NaCl: -1 (becasue Na has oxidation state +1 and so +1 - 1 = 0).

Therefore, chlorine is being oxidized (its oxidation state increases from 0 to +1) and is also being reduced (its oxidation state is reduced from 0 to -1), and this is a redox reaction.

<u>3) Part (c) What is the percent yield of this reaction?</u>

a) <u>Chemical equation (given)</u>

  • NaOH (aq) + Cl₂ (g) → NaOCl (aq) + NaCl (aq) + H₂O (l)

b) <u>Theoretical mole ratio:</u>

  • 2 mol Cl₂ (g) : 1 mol  NaOCl (aq)

c)  <u>Convert 83.0 g of chlorine gas to moles:</u>

  • moles = mass in grams / molar mass
  • molar mass of Cl₂(g) = 79.906 g/mol
  • moles = 83.0 g / 79.906 g/mol = 1.039 mol Cl₂(g)

d)<u> Determine the theoretical yiedl using proportions</u>:

  • x / 1.039 mol Cl₂ (g) = 1 mol NaOCl / 2 mol Cl₂ (g)

  • ⇒ x = 0.5195 mol NaOCl

e) <u>Convert 0.5195 mol NaOCl to grams:</u>

  • molar mass NaOCl = 22.99 g/mol + 16.00 g/mol + 35.453 g/mol = 74.443 g/mol

  • mass = number of mol × molar mass = 0.5195 mol × 74.443 g/mol = 38.67 g

         That must be rounded to 3 significant figures (such as the mass of belach is given: 22.0 g)

  • Theoretical yiedl of NaOCl = 38.7 g

f) <u>Calculate the percent yiled</u>:

  • Percent yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100
  • Percent yield = (22.0 g / 38.7 g) × 100 = 56.8%

tester [92]

Diffusion is the movement of a substance from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration . Diffusion happens in liquids and gases because their particles move randomly from place to place . Diffusion is an important process for living things ; it is how substances move in and out of cells .

What is the variable that is changed by
denpristay [2]

Answer:

b. independent/manipulated variable

Explanation:

Independent/manipulated variable - refers to the variable that is changed by the scientist or an experimenter. Only one variable that is independent is required to ensure a fair test in an excellent experiment. As the independent variable is being changed by an experimenter or scientist, data is being recorded simultaneously as they are collected.

For the simple decomposition reactionAB(g)→ A(g) + B(g)Rate =k[AB]2 and k=0.2 L/mol*s . How long will it takefor [AB] to reach 1
mixer [17]

Answer:

6.66 s will it take for [AB] to reach 1/3 of its initial concentration 1.50 mol/L.

Explanation:

Rate = k[AB]^2

The order of the reaction is 2.

Integrated rate law for second order kinetic is:

\frac{1}{[A_t]} = \frac{1}{[A]_0}+kt

Where, [A_0] is the initial concentration  = 1.50 mol/L

[A_t] is the final concentration  = 1/3 of initial concentration = \frac{1}{3}\times 1.50\ mol/L = 0.5 mol/L

Rate constant, k = 0.2 L/mol*s

Applying in the above equation as:-

\frac{1}{0.5} = \frac{1}{1.50}+0.2t

\frac{1}{1.5}+0.2x=\frac{1}{0.5}

t = 6.66\ s

<u>6.66 s will it take for [AB] to reach 1/3 of its initial concentration 1.50 mol/L.</u>

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are 3 types of plastids :-

1) Chloroplasts:- The green plastids which contain chlorophyll pigments for photosynthesis.

2) Chromoplasts:-The coloured plastids for pigment synthesis and storage.

3) Leucoplasts:- The colourless plastids for monoterpene synthesis found in non- photosynthetic parts of the plants.

They are of three types:-  

a) Amyloplasts- stores starch.

b) Proteinoplasts-  stores proteins.

c) Elaioplasts- stores fats and oils.

A scientist formulates the following hypothesis: If plants of the same species
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Growth rate

Explanation:

The responding variable, also known as the DEPENDENT VARIABLE, is the variable that responds to changes or manipulations made to another variable (independent or manipulable variable) in the experiment. It is the measured variable of an experiment.

According to the hypothesis provided for this investigation, the scientist wants to determine if the amount of fertilizer plants of the same species receive will affect their growth rate when planted in the same condition. This shows that the independent variable is the amount of fertilizer to be used while the RESPONDING VARIABLE OR DEPENDENT VARIABLE is the GROWTH RATE OF THE PLANTS because it responds to the amount of fertilizer.
