Answer:

0.0084

Explanation:

The mole fraction of BaCl₂ (X) is calculated as follows:

X = moles BaCl₂/total moles of solution

Given:

moles of BaCl₂ = 0.400 moles

mass of water = 850.0 g

We have to convert the mass of water to moles, by using the molecular weight of water (Mw):

Mw of water (H₂O) = (2 x 1 g/mol)+ 16 g/mol = 18 g/mol

moles of water = mass of water/Mw of water = 850.0 g/(18 g/mol) = 47.2 mol

The total moles of the solution is given by the addition of the moles of solute (BaCl₂) and the moles of solvent (water):

total moles of solution = moles of BaCl₂ + moles of water = 0.400 + 47.2 mol = 47.6 mol

Finally, we calculate the mole fraction:

X = 0.400 mol/47.6 mol = 0.0084

You have a saturated solution of BaSO4, a slightly soluble ionic compound. What happens if you add Ba(OH)2, NaNO3, and CuSO4 to

igomit [66]

Answer:

- Addition of Ba(OH)2: favors the formation of a precipitate.

- Undergo a chemical reaction forming soluble species.

- Addition of CuSO4 : favors the formation of a precipitate.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the dissociation reaction of barium sulfate is:

$BaSO_4(s)\rightleftharpoons Ba^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)$

We must analyze the effect of the common ion:

- By adding barium hydroxide, more barium ions will be added to the equilibrium system so the formation of solid barium sulfate will be favored (reaction shifts leftwards towards reactants).

- By adding sodium nitrate, the following reaction will undergo:

$BaSO_4(s)+NaNO_3(aq)\rightarrow Ba(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2SO_4(aq)$

So the precipitate will turn into other soluble species.

- By adding copper (II) sulfate, more sulfate ions will be added to the equilibrium system so the formation of solid barium sulfate will be favored (reaction shifts leftwards towards reactants).

All of this is supported by the Le Chatelier's principle.

Best regards.

. Using the pH scale below what would be the pH value of an Acid? *

earnstyle [38]

Answer : The pH value of an acid is below 7.

Explanation :

pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion or hydronium ion concentration.

Mathematically,

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

When the pH less than 7 then the solution is acidic and the concentration of hydrogen ion is greater than hydroxide ion.

When the pH more than 7 then the solution is basic and the concentration of hydrogen ion is less than hydroxide ion.

When the pH is equal to 7 then the solution is neutral and the concentration of hydrogen ion is equal to the hydroxide ion.

Hence, the pH value of an acid is below 7.

For each reaction, find the value of ΔSo. Report the value with the appropriate sign. (a) 3 NO2(g) + H2O(l) → 2 HNO3(l) + NO(g)

aev [14]

Answer:

ΔS° = -268.13 J/K

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

3 NO₂(g) + H₂O(l) → 2 HNO₃(l) + NO(g)

We can calculate the standard entropy change of a reaction (ΔS°) using the following expression:

ΔS° = ∑np.Sp° - ∑nr.Sr°

where,

ni are the moles of reactants and products

Si are the standard molar entropies of reactants and products

ΔS° = [2 mol × S°(HNO₃(l)) + 1 mol × S°(NO(g))] - [3 mol × S°(NO₂(g)) + 1 mol × S°(H₂O(l))]

ΔS° = [2 mol × 155.6 J/K.mol + 1 mol × 210.76 J/K.mol] - [3 mol × 240.06 J/K.mol + 1 mol × 69.91 J/k.mol]

ΔS° = -268.13 J/K
