Which of the following is NOT a reason for the experimental volume of the flask to be incorrect?

Using the equation below, if you have 4.3 mol of nitrogen tribromide and

ankoles [38]

Answer:

sodium hydroxide is the limiting reactant

Explanation:

The first step is usually to put down the balanced reaction equation. This is the first thing to do when solving any problem related to stoichiometry. The balanced reaction equation serves as a guide during the solution.

2NBr3 + 3NaOH = N2 + 3NaBr + 3HOBr

Let us pick nitrogen gas as our product of interest. Any of the reactants that gives a lower number of moles of nitrogen gas is the limiting reactant.

For nitrogen tribromide

From the balanced reaction equation;

2 moles of nitrogen tribromide yields 1 mole of nitrogen gas

4.3 moles of nitrogen tribromide will yield 4.3 ×1/ 2 = 2.15 moles of nitrogen gas

For sodium hydroxide;

3 moles of sodium hydroxide yields 1 mole of nitrogen gas

5.9 moles of sodium hydroxide yields 5.9 × 1/ 3= 1.97 moles of nitrogen gas

Therefore, sodium hydroxide is the limiting reactant.

In a room full of air, the air is mainly composed of Nitrogen and Oxygen molecules (both at room temperature). Find (to two sign

zloy xaker [14]

Explanation:

Expression for the $v_{rms}$ speed is as follows.

$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}$

where, $v_{rms}$ = root mean square speed

k = Boltzmann constant

T = temperature

M = molecular mass

As the molecular weight of oxygen is 0.031 kg/mol and R = 8.314 J/mol K. Hence, we will calculate the value of $v_{rms}$ as follows.

$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.02 K}{0.031 kg/mol}}$

= 498.5 m/s

Hence, $v_{rms}$ for oxygen atom is 498.5 m/s.

For nitrogen atom, the molecular weight is 0.028 kg/mol. Hence, we will calculate its $v_{rms}$ speed as follows.

$v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3kT}{M}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{3 \times 8.314 J/mol K \times 309.92 K}{0.028 kg/mol}}$

= 524.5 m/s

Therefore, $v_{rms}$ speed for nitrogen is 524.5 m/s.

Calcium carbonate is often used as an antacid. Your stomach acid is composed of HCl at a pH of 1.5. If you ate toooo much Turkey

stiks02 [169]

<u>Answer:</u> 0.0237 g of calcium carbonate would be required to neutralize the given amount of HCl

<u>Explanation:</u>

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration present in the solution

$pH=-\log [H^+]$ .....(1)

Given value of pH = 1.5

Putting values in equation 1:

$1.5=-\log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=10^{(-1.5)}=0.0316M$

Molarity is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per liter of solution. The units of molarity are mol/L. The formula used to calculate molarity:

$\text{Molarity of solution}=\frac{\text{Number of moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (mL)}}$ .....(2)
