Franklin was performing an experiment by combining hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. He measured the mass of his reactant

materials to be 35g. The reaction resulted in the production of salt and water. He reported that his products weighed 32g.

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u><em>B) an error occurred, the mass of the reactants should equal the mass of the products. </em></u>

<u><em /></u>

Explanation:

The answer choices are:

  • <em>A) no error occurred, some of the products are always lost as heat.</em>

<em />

  • <em>B) an error occurred, the mass of the reactants should equal the mass of the products. </em>

<em />

  • <em>C) an error occurred, the products should weigh more than the reactants. </em>

<em />

  • <em>D) no error occurred, water is not weighed when determining the weight of the products.</em>

<h2>Solution</h2>

The basis to answer this question is the law of conservation of mass.

Any chemical reaction satisfies the law of conservation of mass: mass cannot be either created nor destroyed, so, always, <em>the mass of the reactants equal the mass of the products.</em>

Thus, since he measured the mass of his reactant materials to be 35g and he reported that his products weighed 32g, his data are in clear contradiction of the law of conservation of mass. So, there is an error in his results: <em>the mass of the reactants should equal the mass of the products. </em>

Draw the Lewis Structure for NI3.
monitta

Explanation:

Nitrogen triiodide (NI₃)

Valence electrons of nitrogen = 5

Valence electrons of iodine = 7

The total number of the valence electrons  = 5 + 3(7) = 26

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom and duet for the hydrogen in the molecule is complete. So,  

The Lewis structure is shown in image below.

Nitrogen posses one lone pair and thus the geometry is pyramidal.

Un gas ocupa un volumen de 358L a 152°C y 470 mmHg ¿Qué volumen ocupara el gas, si la temperatura aumente a 500 K y 6 atm?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

42 L

Explanation:

de los parámetros en la pregunta;

V1 = 358L

T1 = 152 ° C + 273 = 425 K

P1 = 470 mmHg × 1 atm / 760 mmHg = 0.6atm

V2 =?

P2 = 6 atmósferas

T2 = 500 K

P1V1 / T1 = P2V2 / T2

P1V1T2 = P2V2T1

V2 = P1V1T2 / P2T1

V2 = 0,6 × 358 × 500/6 × 425

V2 = 107400/2550

V2 = 42 L

A decrease in height of a column in a mercury barometer means that
insens350 [35]

Answer:

increase in the air pressure

Explanation:

The barometer is a device that is used for measuring the air pressure. It is a device that uses mercury in order to show the air pressure. The mercury reacts easily to the changes in the air pressure, so it is a nice indicator for it. The air pressure can simply be defined as the weight of the air masses, and the pressure they make it because of it on the objects. The lower the air pressure, the higher up the mercury will go, as it will experience less pressure from the air, and the higher the air pressure, the lower the mercury will drop, as it will experience more pressure from the air.

Carbon disulfide is prepared industrially by reacting carbon with sulfur dioxide according to the above equation. If 70.8 g of c
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

1.18 moles of CS₂ are produced by the reaction.

Explanation:

We present the reaction:

5C + 2SO₂  →  CS₂  +  4CO

5 moles of carbon react to 2 moles of sulfur dioxide in order to produce 1 mol of carbon disulfide and 4 moles of carbon monoxide.

As we do not have data from the SO₂, we assume this as the excess reagent. We convert the mass of carbon to moles:

70.8 g / 12 g/mol = 5.9 moles

Ratio is 5:1, so 5 moles of carbon react to produce 1 mol of CS₂

Then, 5.9 moles will produce (5.9 . 1) / 5 = 1.18 moles

The standard free energy change for a reaction in an electrolytic cell is always:_________
sattari [20]

Answer: The standard free energy change for a reaction in an electrolytic cell is always positive.

Explanation:

Electrolytic cells use electric currents to drive a non-spontaneous reaction forward.

Relation of standard free energy change and emf of cell

\Delta G^o=-nFE^0_{cell}

where,

\Delta G^o = standard free energy change

  n= no of electrons gained or lost

F= faraday's constant

E^0_{cell} = standard emf

E^0_{cell}   = standard emf = -ve  , for non spontaneous reaction

Thus  \Delta G^o=(-ve)(-ve)=+ve

Thus standard free energy change for a reaction in an electrolytic cell is always positive.
