Answer:

$3.0molMg(OH)_2$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for these types of acid-base neutralizations, it is crucial to firstly set up the chemical reaction taking place between the acid and the base; in this case HCl and Mg(OH)2 respectively, whose products are obtained by switching around the anions and cations as shown below:

$HCl(aq)+Mg(OH)_2(aq)\rightarrow MgCl_2(aq)+H_2O(l)$

Which must be balanced to accurately predict the mole ratio on the reactants side:

$2HCl(aq)+Mg(OH)_2(aq)\rightarrow MgCl_2(aq)+2H_2O(l)$

Whereas we can see a 2:1 mole ratio of the acid to the base; thus, the moles of Mg(OH) required for the neutralization of 6.0 moles of HCl turn out to be:

$6.0molHCl*\frac{1molMg(OH)_2}{2molHCl} \\\\=3.0molMg(OH)_2$

Best regards!

According to collision theory, what three factors govern the effect of temperature on the rate of a chemical reaction?

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Collision theory states that the rate constant for a chemical reaction is composed

of three factors, (1) the absolute number of collisions, Z, between molecules; (2) The

fraction of collisions, f, with an energy greater than the activation energy; and (3) the

fraction of molecules, p, in which the molecules are in the correct orientation to react.

k = Zfp Equation 1

The absolute number of collisions, Z, increases with temperature. However, it has

been shown that at 25o

C, the increase in the number of collisions accompanying a 10o

increase in temperature accounts for only about 2% of the increase in the reaction rate.

Similarly, while it is important that molecules be in the proper orientation to react when

they collide, molecular orientation is independent of temperature. Thus it follows that the

major factor controlling reaction rates is the fraction, f, of molecules in the reaction

mixture with an energy greater than the activation energy. This factor, f, depends on the

absolute temperature. It has been shown that f is related to Ea by the following equation

What is the pH of a 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pKa = 6.86) that contains equal amounts of acid and conjugate base?

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer : The pH of a 0.1 M phosphate buffer is, 6.86

Explanation : Given,

$pK_a=6.86$

Concentration of acid = 0.1 M

Concentration of conjugate base (salt) = 0.1 M

Now we have to calculate the pH of buffer.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

$pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$pH=6.86+\log (\frac{0.1}{0.1})$

$pH=6.86$

Therefore, the pH of a 0.1 M phosphate buffer is, 6.86

What mass of xenon tetrafluoride, xef 4 , has the same number of fluorine atoms as 25.0 g of oxygen difluoride, of2?

nasty-shy [4]

To determine the mass of xenon tetrafluoride, we need to know first the number of fluorine atoms present in oxygen difluoride. We need to convert first the mass into moles then make use of the relation of the elements from the chemical formula. Then, use the avogadro's number to convert it to number of atoms. Then, we do the reverse of the steps above but this time for xenon tetrafluoride.

25.0 g OF2 ( 1 mol / 54 g ) ( 2 mol F / 1 mol OF2 ) ( 6.022 x10^23 atoms F / 1 mol F ) ( 1 mol / 6.022x10^23 atoms) ( 1 mol XeF4 / 4 mol F ) (207.3 g / 1 mol XeF4) = 47.99 g XeF4

What mass of Al contains the same number of atoms as 33.5g of Au

wel

Stoich questions...

1) convert the grams of Au to moles
(33.5g)/(196.7g/mol)=___x___

2)find how many atoms are in that many moles by multiplying it by avogadro's number.

x(moles of Au)*(6.02*10^23)=?

3)now that you have found the number of atoms of gold, convert it to grams of aluminum by multiplying it by Avogadro's number and multiplying it by the atomic mass of aluminum.
( ? )(6.02*10^23)(26.98g/mol)= (mass of Al)
