C. Dynamite fishing

dynamite fishing is a destructive fishing practice using explosives to stun or kill schools of fish for easy collection. This often illegal practice is extremely destructive to the surrounding ecosystem, as the explosion often destroys the underlying habitat that supports the fish.

The powder mixture (Cu, Al and Fe) = 10g was oxidized from sufficient chloride acid. 1) What are the possible reactions to the p

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

1) 2Al + 6HCl ⟶ 2AlCl₃ + 3H₂

Fe + 2HCl ⟶ FeCl₂ + H₂

2) Cu = 2.5 g; Al = 3.5 g; Fe = 4.0 g

Explanation:

1) Possible reactions

2Al + 6HCl ⟶ 2AlCl₃ + 3H₂

Fe + 2HCl ⟶ FeCl₂ + H₂

2) Mass of each metal

a) Mass of Cu

The waste was the unreacted copper.

Mass of Cu = 2.5 g

b) Masses of Al and Fe

We have two relations :

Mass of Al + mass of Fe = 10 g - 2.5 g = 7.5 g

H₂ from Al + H₂ from Fe = 6.38 L at NTP

i) Calculate the moles of H₂

NTP is 20 °C and 1 atm.

$\begin{array}{rcl}pV & = & n RT\\\text{1 atm} \times \text{6.38 L} & = & n \times 0.08206 \text{ L}\cdot\text{atm}\cdot\text{K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1} \times \text{293.15 K}\\6.38 & = & 24.06n \text{ mol}^{-1} \\n & = & \dfrac{6.38}{24.06 \text{ mol}^{-1} }\\\\ & = & \text{0.2652 mol}\\\end{array}$

(ii) Solve the relationship

Let x = mass of Al. Then

7.5 - x = mass of Fe

Moles of Al = x/27

Moles of Fe = (7.5 - x)/56

Moles of H₂ from Al = (3/2) × Moles of Al = (3/2) × (x/27) = x /18

Moles of H₂ from Fe = (1/1) × Moles of Fe = (7.5 - x)/56

∴ x/18 + (7.5 - x)/56 = 0.2652

56x + 18(7.5 - x) = 267.3

56x + 135 - 18x = 267.3

38x = 132.3

x = 3.5 g

Mass of Al = 3.5 g

Mass of Fe = 7.5 g - 3.5 g = 4.0 g

The masses of the metals are Cu = 2.5 g; Al = 3.5 g; Fe = 4.0 g

Calcuate the number of<br> grams of solute in 453.9mL<br> of 0.237 M calcium acetate

AysviL [449]

The number of grams : 17.082 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Molarity shows the number of moles of solute in every 1 liter of solute or mmol in each ml of solution

$\large {\boxed {\bold {M ~ = ~ \dfrac {n} {V}}}$

Where

M = Molarity

n = Number of moles of solute

V = Volume of solution

453.9 mL of 0.237 M calcium acetate

$\tt mol=M\times V=0.237\times 0.4539=0.108$

mass

MW Ca(C₂H₃OO)₂ : 158,17 g/mol

$\tt mass=mol\times MW\\\\mass=0.108\times 158.17=17.082~g$

Automotive airbags inflate when a sample of sodium azide, NaN3, is very rapidly decomposed.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

148 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation for the decomposition of sodium azide

2 NaN₃ ⇒ 2 Na + 3 N₂

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 95.8 g of N₂

The molar mass of N₂ is 28.01 g/mol.

95.8 g × 1 mol/28.01 g = 3.42 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of NaN₃ needed to form 3.42 moles of N₂

The molar ratio of NaN₃ to N₂ is 2:3. The moles of NaN₃ needed are 2/3 × 3.42 mol = 2.28 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 2.28 moles of NaN₃

The molar mass of NaN₃ is 65.01 g/mol.

2.28 mol × 65.01 g/mol = 148 g

Estimate the molar mass of a gas that effuses at 1.6 times the effusion rate of CO2

Vlada [557]

To estimate the molar mass of the gas, we use Graham's law of effusion. This relates the rates of effusion of gases with their molar mass. We calculate as follows:

r1/r2 = √(m2/m1)

where r1 would be the effusion rate of the gas and r2 is for CO2, M1 is the molar mass of the gas and M2 would be the molar mass of CO2 (44.01 g/mol)

r1 = 1.6r2

1.6 = √(44.01 / m1)
m1 = 17.19 g/mol
