Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Potassium is a metal. Remember that metals are electropositive in nature. This implies that they give out electrons when they undergo ionic bonding with nonmetals.

Chlorine is a nonmetal. So the bond between chlorine and potassium is ionic.  Potassium gives out one electron to chlorine and the both ions now attain a stable octet.

The electronic configuration of potassium is [Ar]4s1. After giving out an electron to chlorine in an ionic bond, its electronic configuration is now [Ar].

A 10.5 mL sample of vinegar, containing acetic acid, was titrated using 0.460 M NaOH solution. The titration required 19.13 mL o
laila [671]

Explanation:

Step 1:

A good first step for a problem like this is to write down the chemical formula and balance it.

It appears here that we have 10.5 mL of vinegar, which IS acetic acid, and 19.13 mL of 0.460 M NaOH. That will give us the following balanced chemical equation:

CH3COOH + NaOH ------> NaCH3COO + H2O

All of the constituents come out to a value of 1, conveniently.

Step 2:

Since all of our stoichiometric coefficients are one, we can use a shortcut to answer this equation. I don't know if it has a name, but I just call it the titration formula. It goes something like this:

M1 * V1 = M2 * V2

M stands for Molarity and V stands for volume. 1 and 2 being the before the reaction and after the reaction.

So, our M1 for this is going to be what the question says was used for this titration. That's 0.460M NaOH.

Our V1 is going to be the initial volume of the sample, which was 10.5 mL

Our V2 is going to be 19.13, which is the volume when we're finished.

It's clear that we don't know M2, so let's find it.

Keep in mind that it's easier to convert to liters pretty much always, so I've done that by dividing the mL values each by 1000.

Using some algebra, we can see that we now have:

0.460 M * 0.0105 L = x M * 0.01913 L

Which goes to:

\frac{0.00483mol}{0.01913L} = 0.252 M

<h3>So our M2, the molar concentration of acetic acid in this vinegar, is equal to 0.252 M. </h3>

Using the following equation, 2C2H6 +7O2 --&gt;4CO2 +6H2O, if 2.5g C2H6 react with 170g of O2, how many grams of water will be p
kirill [66]

The mass of water (H₂O) that would be produced is 4.5 g

<h3>Stoichiometry </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the mass of water that would be produced.

From the given balanced chemical equation

2C₂H₆ +7O₂ → 4CO₂ +6H₂O

This means

2 moles of C₂H₆ reacts with 7 moles of O₂ to produce 4 moles of CO₂ and 6 moles of H₂O

Now, we will determine the number of moles of each reactant present

  • For Ethane (C₂H₆)

Mass = 2.5 g

Molar mass = 30.07 g

Using the formula,

Number\ of\ moles = \frac{Mass}{Molar\ mass}

Number of moles of C₂H₆ present = \frac{2.5}{30.07}

Number of moles of C₂H₆ present = 0.08314 mole

  • For Oxygen (O₂)

Mass = 170g

Molar mass = 31.999 g/mol

Number of moles of O₂ present = \frac{170}{31.999}

Number of moles of O₂ present = 5.3127 moles

Since

2 moles of C₂H₆ reacts with 7 moles of O₂

Then,

0.08314 mole of C₂H₆ will react with \frac{7 \times 0.08314 }{2}

 \frac{7 \times 0.08314 }{2} = 0.58198 mole

Therefore,

0.08314 mole of C₂H₆ reacts with 0.58198 mole of O₂ to produce 3 × 0.08314 moles of H₂O

3 × 0.08314 = 0.24942 mole

Thus, the number of moles of water (H₂O) produced is 0.24942 mole

Now, for the mass of water that would be produced,

Using the formula,

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of water = 18.015 g/mol

Then,

Mass of water that would be produced = 0.24942 × 18.015

Mass of water that would be produced = 4.4933 g

Mass of water that would be produced ≅ 4.5 g

Hence, the mass of water (H₂O) that would be produced is 4.5 g

Nina [5.8K]
<span>Physical change, heat caused this.

Water molecules that only vibrate are in solid form. If heat energy is added, the molecules will speed up their vibrations until they can break loose from the organized pattern of a solid and begin to slide over each other, changing to liquid state. If more heat energy is added, the molecules will speed up more and move randomly in all directions as a gas/vapor. Removing heat energy will reverse these changes.

How do you find the molar mass of a hydrate
Darya [45]

If you mean hydrate as in <em>MgSO4 · 7H2O, </em>then simply find the molar mass of each element you see.

For the example above, that means you would add the molar mass (found on the periodic table) of Mg, then S, then 4(O), 14(H), and 7(O).

The results would be your molar mass for the hydrate.

I hope this is what you meant by your question!
