here \: is \: your \: answer

Solution used to white wash the walls is Quick lime(CaO) and when it is mixed with slaked lime [Ca(OH)2]. When this paste is used for white washing it combines with atmospheric CO2 to form calcium carbonate (CaCO3) which gives it a shiny texture.

Slaked lime or Ca(OH)2 is used for white washing the walls. But when Ca(OH)2 react with CO2, it gives Calcium Carbonate and water which gives a smooth finishing to the walls. ... When this paste is used for white washing it combines with atmospheric CO2 to form calcium carbonate (CaCO3) which gives it a shiny texture.

An aqueous solution is 4.44 M nitric acid and the density of the solution is 1.42 g/mL. Calculate the mole fraction of this solu
prohojiy [21]

The mole fraction of HNO3 is  0.225

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>1.</u>Given data

Density = 1.429 /ml

Mass% = 63.01 g HNO3 / 100g of solution

The mass of 63.01 g is in 100 / 1.142 /ml of solution

Or 63.01 g in 55.7 mL

Molarity = 15.39 moles / L

Mass of water in 100g = 100 - 63.01=36.99 g

So 63.01 grams in 36.99 grams of water

So mass of HNO3 in 1000grams of water = 63.01* x 1000 / 36.99 = 1703

Moles of HNO3 in 1000g = 1703 / 63.01 = 27.03 moles

Molality = 27.03 molal (mole / Kg)

Mole fraction = Mole of HN03 / Moles of water + mole of HNO3

Mole of water = 62/ 18 = 3.44

Moles of HNO3 = 63.01 / 63.01 = 1.000

Mole fraction = 1.000 / 3.44 + 1.000 = 0.225

The mole fraction of HNO3 is  0.225

5. Which of the following is the best explanation why a reaction in a closed container can appear to stop before all the reactan
Alex

Answer: The forward and reverse reactions eventually reach the same rate.

Explanation:

The reactions which do not go on completion and in which the reactant forms product and the products goes back to the reactants simultaneously are known as equilibrium reactions.

Equilibrium state is the state when reactants and products are present but the concentrations does not change with time.

The equilibrium is dynamic in nature and the reactions are continuous in nature. Rate of forward reaction is equal to the rate of backward reaction and it appears as it has stopped.

explain in your own words how you would determine the mass of a product in a chemical reaction (theoretical yield) if you know t
ANTONII [103]

I would use the following steps:

  1. Write the <em>balanced chemical equation</em> for the reaction.
  2. Use the molar mass to <em>convert the mass of the reactant to moles</em>.
  3. Use the molar ratio of product:reactant from the balanced chemical equation to <em>convert moles of reactant to moles of product</em>.
  4. Use the molar mass of the product to <em>convert moles of product to mass of product</em>.

You can use the diagram below to remind you of the importance of the <em>molar ratio</em> in mass-mass conversions

You must get over the mole “hill” to make the conversion.
