Answer:

Hydrosulfuric acid will act as limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of iron(III) chloride = 3243.0 g

Mass of hydrosulfuric acid = 511.8 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2FeCl₃ + 3H₂S       →       Fe₂S₃ + 6HCl

Number of moles of iron(III) chloride:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 3243.0 g/ 162.2 g/mol

Number of moles = 20 mol

Number of moles of hydrosulfuric acid:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 511.8 g/ 34.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 15 mol

Now we will compare the moles of both reactant with products

                      FeCl₃          :          Fe₂S₃

                       2                :            1

                      20               :          1/2 ×20 = 10

                      FeCl₃          :            HCl

                       2                :              6

                      20               :          6/2 ×20 = 60

                      H₂S             :          Fe₂S₃

                       3                :            1

                      15               :          1/3 ×15 = 5

                      H₂S            :            HCl

                       3                :              6

                      15                :          6/3 ×15 = 30

Hydrosulfuric acid producing less number of moles of product thus, it will act as limiting reactant.

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Iron is being oxidized at the anode and water is acting as the electrolyte.

Explanation:

When iron is exposed to oxygen and water , the rusting of iron takes place.

<u>The reaction taking place at anode : Oxidation of iron.</u>

{anode:}\;\text{Fe}(s)\;{\longrightarrow}\;\text{Fe}^{2+}(aq)\;+\;2\text{e}^{-}

The reaction taking place at cathode : Reduction of oxygen in the air.

{cathode:}\;\text{O}_2(g)\;+\;4\text{H}^{+}(aq)\;+\;4\text{e}^{-}\;{\longrightarrow}\;2\text{H}_2\text{O}(l)  

The overall reaction:

{overall:}\;2\text{Fe}(s)\;+\;\text{O}_2(g)\;+\;4\text{H}^{+}(aq)\;{\longrightarrow}\;2\text{Fe}^{2+}(aq)\;+\;2\text{H}_2\text{O}(l)

The rust that is hydrated iron(III) oxide can form iron(II) ions which can react further with oxygen.

4\text{Fe}^{2+}(aq)\;+\;\text{O}_2(g)\;+\;(4\;+\;2x)\;\text{H}_2\text{O}(l)\;{\longrightarrow}\;2\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3{\cdot}x\text{H}_2\text{O}(s)\;+\;8\text{H}^{+}(aq)

Thus, from the above reactions ,

Iron is being oxidized at the anode and water is acting as the electrolyte.

user100 [1]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

A chemist prepares a solution of vanadium (III) chloride (VCl3) by measuring out 0.40g of VCl3 into a 50.mL volumetric flask and filling to the mark with distilled water. Calculate the molarity of Cl− anions in the chemist's solution. Be sure your answer is rounded to the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

0.153M of anions

Explanation:

First we calculate the concentration of the solution. From m/M= CV

m=given mass, M= molar mass, C =concentration of solution, V= volume of solution

Molar mass of compound= 51 + 3(35.5)= 157.5gmol-1

0.4g/157.5gmol-1= C×50/1000

C= 2.54×10-3/0.05= 0.051M

But 1 mole of VCl3 contains 3 moles of anions

Therefore, 0.051M will contain 3×0.051M of anions= 0.153M of anions

Answer:

Temperature, the average kinetic energy of particles, tells you how warm something is. Thermal energy, the total kinetic energy of the particles, tells you the extent to which a substance or object can transfer heat or make something else warmer. If an object's temperature increases, its thermal energy increases also.

Difference Between Temperature and Thermal Energy

a. Definition

Temperature: The average kinetic energy of the structural elements of a system (atoms, molecules, charged particles) is called temperature.

Thermal energy: The total kinetic energy of the structural elements of a system is called thermal energy.

b. Values

Temperature: The temperature can be positive and negative.

Thermal energy: The thermal energy always has positive values.

c. Units of measurement

Temperature: The temperature is measured in Celsius, Kelvin, and Fahrenheit.

Thermal energy: The thermal energy is measured in Joule and Calorie.

d. Quantitative dependence

Temperature: The temperature does not depend on the quantity of the substance – it is related to the average kinetic energy of the particles.

Thermal energy: The thermal energy depends on the quantity of the substance – it is related to the total kinetic energy of the particles.

2. The temperature on the Kelvin scale is bigger because the number 273 is always added to the Celcius temperature

3. There’s no really direct connection, however:

The thermal energy of the object is the kinetic energy of the individual molecules that make it up. The more fast-moving molecules inside it, the hotter it is.

When a moving object collides with something, some of the kinetic energy of the object turns into thermal energy. Warming something by rubbing it is an example of this.

4. For a thermometer that is liquid confined in a tube, as the temperature increases, the molecules of the liquid move faster, and the liquid expands. The amount of expansion is related to the increase in temperature.

hope it helps you , thank you

Is condensation of ethanol a physical change or a chemical change
tigry1 [53]

Answer: Physical change

Explanation: Condensation is the phase change of a gas to the liquid state. There is no formation of new products so it does not undergoes chemical change. Any phase change is considered a physical change.

lara [203]

Considering the definition of enthalpy of a chemical reaction and endothermic and exothermic reaction, the correct answer is option C: the change in energy in a system during an exothermic reaction.

The enthalpy of a chemical reaction as the heat absorbed or released in a chemical reaction when it occurs at constant pressure. That is, the heat of reaction is the energy that is released or absorbed when chemicals are transformed into a chemical reaction.

On the other side, an endothermic reaction requires energy while an exothermic reaction releases energy.

In other words, a chemical reaction is endothermic when it absorbs energy from the environment. In this case, the heat is transferred from the outside to the inside of the system.

On the other hand, an exothermic reaction is one where energy flows out of the system. This energy is released in the form of heat.

So, if the enthalpy of reaction is negative, it means that during the course of the reaction, the system loses or releases heat to the environment and is exothermic, while if the enthalpy of reaction is positive, it means that during the course of the reaction, the system absorbs heat from the environment and is endothermic.

So, the correct answer is option C: the change in energy in a system during an exothermic reaction.
