Answer: 55.7 moles of $H_2O$ are needed to produce the given amount of $H_2$

Explanation:

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.

The equation used is:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

Given values:

Moles of $H_2$ = 55.7 moles

The chemical equation for the decomposition of water follows:

$2H_2O\rightarrow 2H_2+O_2$

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 2 moles of hydrogen gas is produced from 2 moles of water

So, 55.7 moles of hydrogen gas will be produced by = $\frac{2}{2}\times 55.7=55.7mol$ of water

Hence, 55.7 moles of $H_2O$ are needed to produce the given amount of $H_2$

A student observed a chemical reaction in which the mass of the products was measured to be less than the mass of the reactants.

nika2105 [10]

There chemical reactions that can realise or absorb gas to the atmosphere. This means it is harder or impossible to measure it with normal weighing devices and normal taring equipment. As a principal in chemical reactions we have conservation of mass.

Answer:

Rate = k . [B]² . [C]

Explanation:

The dependence of the reaction rate on the concentration of the reactants is given by the reaction order of each one, as shown in the rate equation.

$Rate=k.[A]^{x} .[B]^{y} .[C]^{z}$

where,

k is the rate constant

x, y, z are the reaction orders.

The rate of reaction is not affected by changing the concentration of species A. This means that the reaction order for A is x = 0 since when its concentration changes, the rate stays the same.

Leaving all other factors identical, doubling the concentration of species B increases the rate by a factor of 4. This means that the reaction order for B is y = 2, so when the concentration is doubled, the new rate is 2² = 4 times the initial rate.

The rate of the reaction is linearly dependent on the concentration of C. This means that the reaction order for C is z = 1, that is, a linear dependence.

All in all, the rate equation is:

Rate = k . [B]² . [C]

A buffer is prepared by adding 139 mL of 0.39 M NH3 to 169 mL of 0.19 M NH4NO3. What is the pH of the final solution? (Assume th

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

pH = 9.48

Explanation:

We have first to realize that NH₃ is a weak base:

NH₃ + H₂O ⇔ NH₄⁺ + OH⁻ Kb = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵

and we are adding this weak base to a solution of NH₄NO₃ which being a salt dissociates 100 % in water.

Effectively what we have here is a buffer of a weak base and its conjugate acid. Therefore, we need the Henderson-Hasselbach formula for weak bases given by:

pOH = pKb + log ( [ conjugate acid ] / [ weak base ]

mol NH₃ = 0.139 L x 0.39 M = 0.054 mol

mol NH₄⁺ = 0.169 L x 0.19 M = 0.032 mol

Now we have all the information required to calculate the pOH ( Note that we dont have to calculate the concentrations since in the formula they are a ratio and the volume will cancel out)

pOH = -log(1.8 x 10⁻⁵) + log ( 0.032/0.054) = 4.52

pOH + pH = 14 ⇒ pH = 14 - 4.52 = 9.48

The solution is basic which agrees with NH₃ being a weak base.
