Answer:

4.90 g

Explanation:

Given that:

volume of t-pentyl alcohol = 5 mL

the standard density of t-pentyl alcohol = 0.805 g/mL

Recall that:

density = mass(in wt) /volume

mass = density × volume

mass = 0.805 g/mL × 5 mL

mass = 4.03 g

Volume of HCl used = 12 mL

The reaction for this equation is shown in the image attached below.

From the reaction,

88.15 g of t-pentyl alcohol reacts with concentrated HCl to yield 106.59 g pf t-pentyl chloride.

4.03 g of t-pentyl alcohol forms,

= \dfrac{106.59 \ g \times 4.03 \ g}{88.15 \ g} of t-pentyl chloride.

Therefore,

Theoretical yield of t-pentyl chloride = 4.90 g

An unknown salt is either NaF, NaCl, or NaOCl. When 0.050 mol of the salt is dissolved in water to form 0.500 L of solution, the

<u>Answer:</u> The unknown salt is NaF

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Moles of salt = 0.050 moles

Volume of solution = 0.500 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molarity of salt}=\frac{0.050mol}{0.500L}\\\\\text{Molarity of salt}=0.1M

  • To calculate the hydroxide ion concentration, we first calculate pOH of the solution, which is:

pH + pOH = 14

We are given:

pH = 8.08

pOH=14-8.08=5.92

  • To calculate pOH of the solution, we use the equation:

pOH=-\log[OH^-]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

5.92=-\log[OH^-]

[OH^-]=10^{-5.92}=1.202\times 10^{-6}M

The unknown salt given are formed by the combination of weak acid and strong acid which is NaOH

The chemical equation for the hydrolysis of X^- ions follows:

                    X^-(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons HX(aq.)+OH^-(aq.);K_b

<u>Initial:</u>              0.1

<u>At eqllm:</u>        0.1-x                           x              x

Concentration of OH^-=x=1.202\times 10^{-6}M

The expression of K_b for above equation follows:

K_b=\frac{[OH^-][HX]}{[X^-]}

Putting values in above expression, we get:

K_b=\frac{(1.202\times 10^{-6})\times (1.202\times 10^{-6})}{(1-(1.202\times 10^{-6}))}\\\\K_b=1.445\times 10^{-11}M

  • To calculate the acid dissociation constant for the given base dissociation constant, we use the equation:  

K_w=K_b\times K_a

where,

K_w = Ionic product of water = 10^{-14}

K_a = Acid dissociation constant

K_b = Base dissociation constant = 1.445\times 10^{-11}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

10^{-14}=1.445\times 10^{-11}\times K_a\\\\K_a=\frac{10^{-14}}{1.445\times 10^{-11}}=6.92\times 10^{-4}

We know that:

K_a\text{ for HF}=6.8\times 10^{-6}

K_a\text{ for HCl}=1.3\times 10^{6}

K_a\text{ for HClO}=3.0\times 10^{-8}

So, the calculated K_a is approximately equal to the K_a of HF

Hence, the unknown salt is NaF

A particle has 5 protons, 6 neutrons, and 5 electrons. What is its net charge.
Trava [24]
It would have a zero charge because it is a neutral atom. The number of electrons which is a negative charge is equal to the number of protons which is positive, they will cancel each other out hence meaning it will become neutral

Why is this flower able to self-pollinate
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

A flower is self-pollinated if pollen is transferred to it from any flower of the same plant and cross-pollinated if the pollen comes from a flower on a different plant.

Explanation:

This is because each flower is capable of fertilizing itself by autogamy. Autogamy means that the male part of a flower sends pollen to the female part of the same flower.
