Answer:

The correct answer is - A. Ethanol reduces air pollution.

Explanation:

Ethanol is believed to be better fuel for the environment than other petroleum fuels. Ethanol emits lower carbon dioxide as it is clean smokeless fuel, and produces less or the same oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbons.

It is produced by the process of fermentation of molasses by yeast. Mixing it with the other fuels is found to be CO2 reduces by 30% of emissions to the atmosphere.

A standard solution of FeSCN2+ is prepared by combining 9.0 mL of 0.20 M Fe(NO3)3 with 1.0 mL of 0.0020 M KSCN . The standard so

Xelga [282]

Answer : The equilibrium concentration of $SCN^-$ in the trial solution is $4.58\times 10^{-8}M$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the initial moles of $Fe^{3+}$ and $SCN^-$ .

$\text{Moles of }Fe^{3+}=\text{Concentration of }Fe^{3+}\times \text{Volume of solution}$

$\text{Moles of }Fe^{3+}=0.20M\times 9.0mL=1.8mmol$

and,

$\text{Moles of }SCN^-=\text{Concentration of }SCN^-\times \text{Volume of solution}$

$\text{Moles of }SCN^-=0.0020M\times 1.0mL=0.0020mmol$

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$Fe^{3+}(aq)+SCN^-(aq)\rightleftharpoons FeSCN^{2+}(aq)$

Since 1 mole of $Fe^{3+}$ reacts with 1 mole of $SCN^-$ to give 1 mole of $FeSCN^{2+}$

The limiting reagent is, $SCN^-$

So, the number of moles of $FeSCN^{2+}$ = 0.0020 mmole

Now we have to calculate the concentration of $FeSCN^{2+}$ .

$\text{Concentration of }FeSCN^{2+}=\frac{0.0020mmol}{9.0mL+1.0mL}=0.00020M$

Using Beer-Lambert's law :

$A=\epsilon \times C\times l$

where,

A = absorbance of solution

C = concentration of solution

l = path length

$\epsilon$ = molar absorptivity coefficient

$\epsilon$ and l are same for stock solution and dilute solution. So,

$\epsilon l=\frac{A}{C}=\frac{0.480}{0.00020M}=2400M^{-1}$

For trial solution:

The equilibrium concentration of $SCN^-$ is,

$[SCN^-]_{eqm}=[SCN^-]_{initial}-[FeSCN^{2+}]$

$[SCN^-]_{initial}$ = 0.00050 M

Now calculate the $[FeSCN^{2+}]$ .

$C=\frac{A}{\epsilon l}=\frac{0.220}{2400M^{-1}}=9.17\times 10^{-5}M$

Now calculate the concentration of $SCN^-$ .

$[SCN^-]_{eqm}=[SCN^-]_{initial}-[FeSCN^{2+}]$

$[SCN^-]_{eqm}=(0.00050M)-(9.17\times 10^{-5}M)$

$[SCN^-]_{eqm}=4.58\times 10^{-8}M$

Therefore, the equilibrium concentration of $SCN^-$ in the trial solution is $4.58\times 10^{-8}M$

How many atoms does 2.0 moles of He represent

Rudiy27

We use the following formula to calculate the number of atoms:

n (mol) = N(number of atoms) / NA

N(He) = n(mol) · NA

N(He) = 2,0 moles · 6.02·1023 = 12.04·1023 atoms
