A student added 3 gms one substance in a beaker and then added 4 gms of another substance. A chemical reaction took place in the

uncovered beaker, after the reaction the beaker weighed 5 gms which of the following is the best explanation?
A Some of the mass of the reactants was lost as heat and evaporated into the air.
B. The reaction produce a gas as a product.
C. Some of the reactantants were destroyed as when the chemicals were added.

Answer:

B. The reaction produce a gas as a product.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of reactants must be equal to the total mass of products because mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

The total mass of the reactants is 7 grams. The total mass of the products and the beaker is 5 grams. This means that the mass of products is less than the mass of reactants.

The only plausible explanation for this is that the reaction produced a gaseous product which escaped because the system is an open system thereby leading to a  lesser measured mass of products since mass can not be created nor destroyed.

Which of the following statements about trends in solubility is accurate?
Kipish [7]

"The solubility of gases decreases as temperature rises" statements about trends in solubility is accurate.

<u>Option: D</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

A substance's solubility is the quantity of that component that is needed at a defined degree of temperature to produce a saturated solution in any set quantity of solvent. Some compounds like hydrochloric acid, ammonia, etc  have solubility that reduces with rising temperature. They are both standard-pressure gases.

When heating a solvent with a gas absorbed in it, both the solvent and the solute spike in the kinetic energy.When the gaseous solute's kinetic energy rises, the molecules have a higher propensity to overcome the solvent molecules' connection and migrate to the gas phase. Thus, a gas's solubility reduces with rising temperature.

What part of the atom determines if it will combine or break apart from other substances
enyata [817]

The combination of an atom with other atom is bonding. Or break apart from other substance is breaking of interaction.

The bonding or interaction (inter-atomic) are due orbitals and electrons present in these orbitals

The atom consists of

a) a central nucleus which has proton and neutrons: they do not take part in chemical reactions

b) the part other than nucleus which has shells, sub shells and orbitals

These orbitals have electrons.

So the outer part of nucleus takes part in any combination with other substance

What is the charge of phosphate in AlPO4?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

The charge of phosphate : 3-

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Oxidation is an increase in oxidation number, while reduction is a reduction in oxidation number.

The formula for determining Oxidation Numbers in general:

1. Single element atomic oxidation number = 0.

Group IA (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr): +1

Group IIA (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba): +2

Group IIIA(Al, B) : +3

H in compound = +1, except metal hydride compounds (Hydrogen which binds to groups IA or IIA) oxidation number H = -1, for example, LiH, MgH₂, etc.

2. Oxidation number O in compound = -2, except OF2 = + 2 and in peroxide (Na₂O₂, BaO₂) = -1 and superoxide, for example KO₂ = -1/2.

3 The oxidation number in an uncharged compound = 0,

Total oxidation number in ion = ion charge, Example NO₃⁻ = -1

Compound AlPO₄ :

The oxidation number in an uncharged compound = 0

Since the charge of Al as group 3A (or group 13) is +3, while the AlPO₄ compound is a polyatomic compound (consisting of polyatomic ions PO₄ and Al), the PO₄ charge:

charge Al + charge PO₄ = 0

+ 3 + charge PO₄ = 0

<em>charge PO₄ = -3</em>

Gaseous hydrogen and oxygen can be prepared in the laboratory from the decomposition of gaseous water. The equation for the reac
monitta

Answer:

  • 75.5 g O₂ (g) can be produced from 42.6 g of H₂O (g)

Explanation:

<u>1) Balanced chemical equation (given):</u>

  • 2H₂O(g) → 2H₂(g) + O₂(g)

<u>2) Mole ratios:</u>

  • 2 moles H₂O(g) : 2 moles H₂(g) : 2 moles O₂(g)

<u>3) Calculate the number of moles of reactant (H₂0):</u>

  • number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

  • molar mass of water: 18.015 g/mol

  • mass in grams of water: 42.6 g

  • number of moles = 42.6 g / 18.05 g/mol = 2.36 moles H₂O

<u>4) Set a proportion using the mole ratio  O₂ to H₂O and the actual number of moles of H₂O:</u>

  • 2 moles O₂ / 2 moles H₂O = x / 2.36 moles H₂O

  • x = 2.36 moles O₂

<u>5) Convert 2.36 moles O₂ to grams:</u>

  • mass in grams = number of moles × molar mass

  • mass = 2.36 moles × 32.00 g/mol = 75.5 g O₂
