Answer:

detail is given below.

Explanation:

This law was given by French chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Law of conservation of mass:

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

For example:

In given photosynthesis reaction:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

The given equation is balanced chemical equation of photosynthesis. There are six carbon atoms, eighteen oxygen atoms and twelve hydrogen atoms on the both side of equation so this reaction followed the law of conservation of mass.

If equation is not balanced,

CO₂ + H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂

It can not follow the law of conservation of mass because mass is not equal on both side of equation.

Convert 6.93 x 1024 atoms of carbon to moles of carbon.

Aleksandr [31]

Answer: 11.5 moles of carbon

Explanation:

Based on Avogadro's law:

1 mole of any substance has 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

So, 1 mole of carbon = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

Z moles = 6.93 x 10^24 atoms

To get the value of Z, cross multiply:

(6.93 x 10^24 atoms x 1mole) = (6.02 x 10^23 atoms x Z moles)

6.93 x 10^24 = (6.02 x 10^23 x Z)

Z = (6.93 x 10^24) ➗ (6.02 x 10^23)

Z = 1.15 x 10

Z = 11.5 moles

Thus, there are 11.5 moles of carbon.

Which of the following two combinations of reactants is more appropriate for the preparation of p-nitrophenyl phenyl ether? Fluo

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

p-fluoronitrobenzene and sodium phenoxide is more appropriate

Explanation:

An ipso substitution is required to form p-nitrophenyl phenyl ether.

For this ipso substitution, an alkoxide anion needs to attack as a nucleophile at the carbon atom attached to fluorine atom and thereby substitute that F atom.

p-nitrophenoxide is an weak nucleophile as compared to phenoxide due to presence of electron withdrawing resonating effect of nitro group at para position.

p-fluoronitrobenzene is a good choice for nucleophilic attack by alkoxide anion as compared to fluorobenzene due to higher positive charge density at carbon atom directly attached to F atom. Higher positive charge density arises due to presence of electron withdrawing resonating effect og nitro group at para position.

So, p-fluoronitrobenzene and sodium phenoxide is more appropriate

Answer:

a) The relationship at equivalence is that 1 mole of phosphoric acid will need three moles of sodium hydroxide.

b) 0.0035 mole

c) 0.166 M

Explanation:

Phosphoric acid is tripotic because it has 3 acidic hydrogen atom surrounding it.

The equation of the reaction is expressed as:

$H_3PO_4 \ + \ 3NaOH -----> Na_3 PO_4 \ + \ 3H_2O$

1 mole 3 mole

The relationship at equivalence is that 1 mole of phosphoric acid will need three moles of sodium hydroxide.

b) if 10.00 mL of a phosphoric acid solution required the addition of 17.50 mL of a 0.200 M NaOH(aq) to reach the endpoint; Then the molarity of the solution is calculated as follows

$H_3PO_4 \ + \ 3NaOH -----> Na_3 PO_4 \ + \ 3H_2O$

10 ml 17.50 ml

(x) M 0.200 M

Molarity = $\frac{0.2*17.5}{1000}$
