How muchmuch hydrogen gas evolvedwhen 1.5 current is passed through water for 1.5 hours?​

Chemistry
1 answer:

4 0

0.042 moles of Hydrogen evolved

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

I = 1.5 A

t = 1.5 hr = 5400 s

Required

Number of Hydrogen evolved

Solution

Electrolysis of water ⇒ decomposition reaction of water into Oxygen and Hydrogen gas.

Cathode(reduction-negative pole) : 2H₂O(l)+2e⁻ ⇒ H₂(g)+2OH⁻(aq)

Anode(oxidation-positive pole) : 2H₂O(l)⇒O₂(g)+4H⁻(aq)+4e⁻

Total reaction : 2H₂O(l)⇒2H₂(g)+O₂(g)

So at the cathode H₂ gas is produced

Faraday : 1 mole of electrons (e⁻) contains a charge of 96,500 C

\tt mol~e^-=\dfrac{Q}{96500}

Q = i.t

Q = 1.5 x 5400

Q = 8100 C

mol e⁻ = 8100 : 96500 = 0.084

From equation at cathode , mol ratio e⁻ : H₂ = 2 : 1, so mol H₂ = 0.042

Give the result of the following mathematical operations to the correct number of significant figures. 5.659 * (3.496 - 2.814) =
shtirl [24]

Answer:

The result is 3.859 in which we use four significant figures.

Explanation:

We start by solving the mathematical operation :

5.659.(3.496-2.814)=5.659(0.682)=3.859438

The result for the operation is 3.859438 but the numbers in the operation are given with four significant figures and that is why we are going to use four significant figures to express the result

To express 3.859438 with four significant figures we use the first four digits that appear from left to right starting by the first digit that is different to zero

In this case : 3.859 will be the result with four significant figures.

We also use a rule that says : To decide if the last significant figure remains the same we look for the value of the digit at its right.

If that number is greater than or equal to 5 ⇒ we sum one to the last significant figure

For example 3.859738 = 3.860 with four significant figures because the ''7'' is greater that 5

If that number is less than 5 ⇒ the last significant figure remains the same

In our case : 3.859438 = 3.859 because ''4'' is less than ''5''

A sample of gas has a mass of 0.0707 grams and has a volume of 48.9 milliliters. What is the density of this gas?
GREYUIT [131]

The density of the gas is 1.45 g/L.

The mass of the gas is 0.0707 g.

The volume of the gas is 48.9 mL.

Density = mass/volume = 0.0707 g/48.9 mL = 1.45 × 10⁻³ g/mL = 1.45 g/L

Which equation obeys the law of conservation of mass? A. 2C4H10 + 2Cl2 + 12O2 7CO2 + CCl4 + 10H2O B. C4H10+ Cl2 + 2O2 7CO2 + CCl
Reptile [31]

Answer : The correct option is A.

Explanation :

Law of conservation of mass : In the chemical reaction, the mass of reactant must be equal to the mass of product.

A. 2C_4H_{10}+2Cl_2+12O_2\rightarrow 7CO_2+CCl_4+10H_2O

The mass of reactant side = 2C_4H_{10}+2Cl_2+12O_2=[8(12)+20(1)]+4(35.5)+24(16)=642g

The mass of product side = 7CO_2+CCl_4+10H_2O=7(12)+14(16)+12+4(35.5)+20(1)+10(16)=642g

This means, the mass of product is equal to the mass of reactant. The mass remains conserved and obeys the law of conservation of mass.

The reaction B, C, D, E does not obey the law of conservation of mass.

Therefore, Only reaction A obey the law of conservation of mass.

What is the net ionic equation for the precipitation reaction between BaCl2 and Na2So4? I know the answer ( Ba2+(aq) + SO42-(aq)
elixir [45]

Answer:

Net ionic equation:

Ba²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)  →   BaSO₄(s)

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

BaCl₂ +  Na₂SO₄   →   BaSO₄ + NaCl

Balanced Chemical equation:

BaCl₂(aq) +  Na₂SO₄(aq)   →   BaSO₄(s) + 2NaCl(aq)

Ionic equation:

Ba²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) + 2Na⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)  →  BaSO₄(s)+ 2Na⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻ (aq)

Net ionic equation:

Ba²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)  →   BaSO₄(s)

The Cl⁻(aq) and Na⁺ (aq) are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The BaSO₄ can not be splitted into ions because it is present in solid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.
