Answer:

First confirm the reaction is balanced:

C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H20 (3 cabon - check; 8 hydrogen - check; 10 oxygen - check).

a) In the equation there is a 5:1 ratio between propane and oxygen. We also know that number of mole is proportional to pressure and volume. Since pressure is constant (STP) then the volume of O2 is 7.2 * 5 = 36 litres.

b) For a near ideal gas that PV = nRT (combined gas law). So for 7.2 litres propane we find n(propane) = 101.3 * 7.2/8.314*298 ~ 0.29 mole (using metric units throughout for simplicity).

There is a 1:3 ratio between propane and CO2. Therefore 3 * 0.29 = 0.87 mole of CO2 is produced.

MW(CO2) ~ 44 g/mol. Therefore m(CO2) = 44 * 0.87 ~ 38.3 g

c) We know we need more oxygen than propane (due to the 1:5 ratio) so oxygen is the limiting reagent. Again Volume is proportional to number of mole and we see there is a 5:4 ratio between oxygen and water. Therefore the volume of water vapour produced will be (4/5) * 15 = 12 litres.

The other questions use the same technique and will give you some much needed practice.

An ionic bond occurs between what particles?

atroni [7]

Answer:

A positive and negative ion.

Explanation:

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference.

The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion. Sodium have one valance electron while chlorine have 7 valance electrons. In order to complete the octet chlorine require one electron while sodium need to lose its one electrons. That's why when both atom combine sodium lose its electron and becomes positive ion i.e cation while chlorine accept its electron and becomes negative ion called anion and bond between them is ionic bond.

What is the volume of water in 150ml of the 35% of sucrose with a specific gravity of 1.115?

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The volume of the water is 108.71 mL

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of water =150 mL = 0.150 L

concentration of sucrose solution 35 % w/w this means in 100 grams of water we have 35 grams of sucrose

specific gravity =1.115

Step 2: Calculate the density of the solution

Density = specific gravity * density of water

Density of solution = 1.115 * 1g/ mL

Density of solution = 1.115 g/ mL

Step 3: Calculate mass of the solution

Mass of solution = density ¨volume

Mass of solution = 1.115 g/ mL * 150 mL

Mass of solution = 167.25 grams

Step 4: Calculate mass of sucrose

35 % = 0.35 * 167.25 grams

Mass sucrose = 58.54 grams

Step 5: Calculate mass of water

Mass of water = mass of sample - mass of sucrose

Mass of water = 167.25 - 58.54 = 108.71 grams

Step 6: Calculate volume of water

Volume = mass / density

Volume = 108.71 grams / 1g/ mL

Volume = 108.71 mL = 0.10871 L

The volume of the water is 108.71 mL

In solid NaCl, the equilibrium separation between neighboring Na+ and Cl- ions is 0.283 nm. Calculate the coulombic energy betwe

const2013 [10]

Explanation:

It is given that r = 0.283 nm. As 1 nm = $10^{-9} m$ .

Hence, 0.283 nm = $0.283 \times 10^{-9} m$

Formula for coulombic energy is as follows.

$U_{coulomb} = -1.748 \frac{e^{2}}{4 \pi \epsilon_{o} r}$

where, e = $1.6 \times 10^{-19}$ C

$\epsilon_{o}$ = $8.85 \times 10^{-12}$

$U_{coulomb} = -1.748 \frac{(1.6 \times 10^{-19}^{2}}{4 \times 3.14 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 0.283 \times 10^{-9}}$

= $1.423 \times 10^{-18} J$

As 1 eV = $1.6 \times 10^{-19} J$

So, 1 J = $\frac{1 eV}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}$

Hence, U = $\frac{1.423 \times 10^{-18} J}{1.6 \times 10^{-19} J}$

= 8.9 eV

Also, 1 J = $\frac{10^{-3} kJ}{6.022 \times 10^{23}mol}$

= $1.67 \times 10^{-27}$ kJ/mol

Therefore, U = $1.423 \times 10^{-18} J \times 1.67 \times 10^{-27}$ kJ/mol

= $2.37 \times 10^{-45} kJ/mol$

When calcium metal (Ca) reacts with oxygen gas (O2), it produces the ionic compound calcium oxide (CaO). Write the balanced equa

malfutka [58]

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

2Ca(s) + O₂(g) → 2CaO(s)

and

The process meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction.

From the question,

We are to write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between Calcium metal and oxygen gas

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

2Ca(s) + O₂(g) → 2CaO(s)

This is the balanced chemical equation for the reaction

To determine whether the reaction meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction,

We will define the term redox reaction

A redox reaction, also called oxidation-reduction reaction, is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a participating chemical species changes.

From the balanced equation above we can observe that the oxidation number of the participating species(Calcium and oxygen) changed.

The oxidation number of Calcium changed from 0 to +2

and

The oxidation number of Oxygen changed from 0 to -2

∴ The process meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction.

Hence, the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

2Ca(s) + O₂(g) → 2CaO(s)

and

The process meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction.
