Answer:

Mass of sodium produced = 2.74 × 10⁵ g of Na

Mass of chlorine produce = 4.24 × 10⁵ g of Cl₂

Explanation:

In the electrolysis of molten NaCl as described above, the quantity of charge used is given by the formula, Q = I × t

Where I isnthe current passed in amperes and t is time in seconds.

Q = 4.0 × 10⁴ A × (8 × 60 × 60) s = 1.152 × 10⁹ C

Equation for the discharge of sodium is; Na+ + e- ---> Na (s)

One mole of electrons is required to discharge one mole of Na

One mole of electron = 1 faraday = 96500 C

One mole of Na has a mass of 23 g

96500 C produces 23 g of Na

1.152 × 10⁹ C will produce 23 g × 1.152 × 10⁹ C / 96500 C = 2.74 × 10⁵ g of Na

Equation for the discharge of chlorine gas is; 2 Cl- ---> Cl₂(g) + 2e-

Two mole of electrons are required to discharge one mole of chlorine gas

Two moles of electron = 2 faraday = 2 × 96500 C = 193000

One mole of Cl₂ has a mass of 71 g

193000 C produces 71 g of Cl₂

1.152 × 10⁹ C will produce 71 g × 1.152 × 10⁹ C / 193000 C = 4.24 × 10⁵ g of Cl₂

The pressure on a 200 milliliter sample of CO2 (g) at constant temperature is increased from
balu736 [363]

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

  • <u><em>Therefore the final volume of the gas is 100 ml.</em></u>

Explanation:

 Given:

Initial pressure (P_{1}) = 600 mm of Hg

Final pressure (P_{2}) = 1200 mm of Hg

Initial volume (V_{1}) = 200 ml      

To find:

Final volume (V_{2})

We know;

According to the ideal gas equation,

    P × V = n × R × T

Where;

P represents the pressure of the gas

V represents the volume of the gas

n represents the no of moles of the gas

R represents the universal gas constant

T represents the temperature of the gas

So,

 From the above mentioned equation,

        P × V = constant

\frac{P_{1} }{P_{2} } = \frac{V_{1} }{V_{2} }

Where,

(P_{1}) represents the initial pressure of the gas

(P_{2}) represents the final pressure of the gas

(V_{1})  represents the initial volume of the gas

(V_{2})  represents the final volume of the gas

So;

\frac{600}{1200} = \frac{V_{2} }{200}    

V_{2} = 100 ml

<u><em>Therefore the final volume of the gas is 100 ml.</em></u>

What is catalyst? Write its types.​
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

A catalyst is a chemical substance that alters the rate of chemical reaction not consumed by the reaction. Hence, a catalyst can be recovered chen unchanged at the ends of chemical reaction. Catalyst can be divided into two typ the basis whether it speeds up or slowdowns the rate of chemical reaction. The positive catalyst and negative catalyst.

If you had excess chlorine, how many moles of of aluminum chloride could be produced from 19.0 g of aluminum?
SIZIF [17.4K]
The chemical reaction would be written as follows:

2Al + 3Cl2 = 2AlCl3

We are given the amount of aluminum to be used in the reaction. This will be the starting point of the calculations. We do as follows:

19.0 g Al ( 1 mol / 29.98 g ) ( 2 mol AlCl3 / 2 mol Al ) = 0.63 mol AlCl3

A major disadvantage of a corporation is the
Nikitich [7]
A major disadvantage of a corporation is the double taxation of the corporation's income and of dividends paid to shareholders.
<span>Corporations end up paying taxes twice. The corporation pays tax when it shows a profit. Secondly the corporation pays tax when it pays out dividends to its shareholders.  Sole proprietorships and partnerships are taxed as owners of the business. The owners of a corporation are taxed individually from the corporation. The advantage of this is that the owners of a corporation are not taxed on the corporation's profit. </span>
