1. When the following oxidation-reduction reaction in acidic solution is balanced, what is the

Chemistry

Bogdan [553]3 years ago

Answer:

2Rb(s) + Sr^+(aq) → 2Rb^+ (aq) + Sr(s)

Explanation:

Rubidium has a more negative reduction potential (-2.98 V) compared to strontium (-2.89 V).

Hence, in a redox reaction involving rubidium and strontium, rubidium will be oxidized while strontium is reduced.

The balanced redox reaction equation is obtained from;

Oxidation half equation;

2Rb(s) ---->2Rb^+(aq) + 2e

Reduction half equation;

Sr^2+(aq) + 2e ----> Sr(s)

Overall reaction equation;

2Rb(s) + Sr^+(aq) → 2Rb^+ (aq) + Sr(s)

why was the mass lost when the reaction was done in the normal setup but stayed the same when it was done in the gas collection
german
<h2>Answer : Law of conservation of mass</h2><h3>Explanation :</h3>

The law of conservation of mass states that in any reaction mass is neither created nor lost it has to remain constant in a system.

In this case, when the reaction setup was done in normal way the mass was  lost in surrounding was not considered nor being calculated; whereas when the reaction was studied in a closed system where the gas was collected after the reaction the mass changes was noted down which helped to prove the point of law of conservation of mass and energy.

One can consider an example of soda can where the carbonated drink contains pressurized carbon dioxide gas. when opened the gas bubbles gets lost into the surroundings and we don't measure the mass changes. Instead if the soda can was opened in such a way where the gas evolved was measured then the mass changed would remain the same.

The escape of gas through a small hole in a container
Doss [256]
<span>The escape of gas through a small hole in a container is called effusion. This phenomenon happens when the diameter of the hole is small enough compared to the mean free path of the gas particles. This is governed by Graham's Law which states that the rate of effusion is inversely proportional to the molecular weight of the gas.</span>

If 16.9 kg of Al2O3(s), 57.4 kg of NaOH(l), and 57.4 kg of HF(g) react completely, how many kilograms of cryolite will be produc
hodyreva [135]

Answer: 69.72 kg of cryolite will be produced.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

Al_2O_3(s)+6NaOH(l)+12HF(g)\rightarrow 2Na_3AlF_6+9H_2O

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

moles of Al_2O_3 = \frac{16.9\times 1000g}{102g/mol}=165.7moles

moles of NaOH = \frac{57.4\times 1000g}{40g/mol}=1435moles

moles of HF = \frac{57.4\times 1000g}{20g/mol}=2870moles

As 1 mole of Al_2O_3 reacts with 6 moles of NaOH

166 moles of  Al_2O_3 reacts with = \frac{6}{1}\times 166=996 moles of NaOH

As 1 mole of Al_2O_3 reacts with 12 moles of HF

166 moles of  Al_2O_3 reacts with = \frac{12}{1}\times 166=1992 moles of HF

Thus Al_2O_3 is the limiting reagent.

As 1 mole of Al_2O_3 produces = 2 moles of cryolite

166 moles of  Al_2O_3 reacts with = \frac{2}{1}\times 166=332 moles of cryolite

Mass of cryolite (Na_3AlF_6) = moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=332mol\times 210g/mol=69720g=69.72kg

Thus 69.72 kg of cryolite will be produced.

In a sample of oxygen gas at room temperature, the average kinetic energy of all the balls stays constant. Which postulate of ki
Levart [38]

Answer:

Collisions between gas particles are elastic; there is no net gain or loss of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

When a gas is paced in a container, the molecules of the gas have little or no intermolecular interaction between them. There is a lot of space between the molecules of the gas.

The gas molecules move at very high speed and collide with each other and with the walls of container.

The collision of these particles with each other is perfectly elastic hence the kinetic energy of the colliding gas particles do not change.
