Answer:

Because of the solubility of ammonia gas in water, it is not collected over water.

Explanation:

Gases prepared in the laboratory are often collected by a technique called water displacement. A bottle is filled with water and placed upside-down in a trough or container of water. The reaction flask is connected to the bottle of water by means of a rubber or glass tubing which is fed under the water bottle . As the gas is produced in the reaction flask, it enters the bottle and displaces the water in it. When the bottle is full of the gas, it is then sealed. The volume of gas in the bottle can be used to determine the amount of gas produced in the reaction. Usually, the gas collected is present in addition to water vapor in the bottle.

Gases that are collected over water must not react with or dissolve in water.

Ammonia gas is very soluble in water. The solubility is due to the readiness with which it forms hydrogen bonds with water to produce aqueous ammonia, NH₃.H₂O.

Aqueous ammonia ionizes partially to produce ammonium ions, NH₄+ and hydroxide ions, OH-. Because of the solubility of ammonia gas in water, it is not collected over water.

The sum of all percent abundances for magnesium is equal to 100. explain why this is reasonable.

kow [346]

Elements occur naturally in different forms called isotopes. These are the same atoms with the same number of protons but has different number of neutrons. Almost all elements exist in nature as such. The amounts of these isotopes are expressed in terms of percent abundances and since it is in a percentage units, the sum of all the abundances should equate to 100 percent or else the calculation is wrong. This is not true onlt for magnesiun but with all of the elements. The atomic mass of these elements also depends on the percent abundances of the isotopes since it is a weighted average value of the individual masses of the isotopes.

What mass of TiCl4 must react with an excess of water to produce 50.0g of TiO2 if the reaction has a 78.9% yield

Kipish [7]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{150 g TiCl}_{4}}

Explanation:

We will need a balanced chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

Mᵣ: 189.68 79.87

TiCl₄ + 2H₂O ⟶ TiO₂ + 4HCl

m/g: 50.0

To solve this stoichiometry problem, you must

Convert the actual yield to the theoretical yield
Use the molar mass of TiO₂ to convert the theoretical yield of TiO₂ to moles of TiO₂
Use the molar ratio to convert moles of TiO₂ to moles of TiCl₄
Use the molar mass of TiCl₄ to convert moles of TiCl₄ to mass of TiCt₄

1. Theoretical yield of TiO₂

$\text{Theoretical yield} = \text{50.0 g actual} \times \dfrac{\text{100 g theoretical}}{\text{78.9 g actual}} = \text{63.37 g theoretical}$

2. Moles of TiO₂

$\text{Mass of TiO}_{2} = \text{63.37 g TiO}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol TiO}_{2}}{\text{79.87 g TiO}_{2} } = \text{0.7934 mol TiO}_{2}$

3, Moles of TiCl₄

The molar ratio is 1 mol TiO₂:1 mol TiCl₄.

$\text{Moles of TiCl}_{4} = \text{0.7934 mol TiO}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol TiCl}_{4}}{\text{1 mol TiO}_{2}} = \text{0.7934 mol TiCl}_{4}$

4. Mass of TiCl₄

$\text{Mass of TiCl}_{4} = \text{0.7934 mol TiCl}_{4} \times \dfrac{\text{189.98 g TiCl}_{4}}{\text{1 mol TiCl}_{4}} =\textbf{150 g TiCl}_{\mathbf{4}} \\\\\text{You must use $\large \boxed{\textbf{150 g TiCl}_{\mathbf{4}}}$}$
