Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

AS we know that the valence for those metals X, Y, and Z are 1, 2 and 3, we can determine the formula of each compound.

1. Hydroxides.

An hydroxide is formed when an oxyde of a metal reacts with water. When this happens, the general molecular formula is:

Meₐ(OH)ₙ

Where:

a: valence or charge of the hydroxide (Which is -1)

n: valence of the metal.

Following this, the formula for X, Y and Z would be:

XOH

Y(OH)₂

Z(OH)₃

2. Sulphates

Sulphates follow a similar rule of hydroxide in the general molecular formula, but instead of having a charge of -1, it has a charge of -2 so:

Mₐ(SO₄)ₙ

So, following the rule:

X₂SO₄

Y₂(SO₄)₂ ------> YSO₄

Z₂(SO₄)₃

3. Hydrogens

Following the same rule as the previous, hydrogens works with a charge of -1, so:

MₐHₙ

Then:

XH

YH₂

ZH₃

4. Carbonates.

This follows the same rule as sulphates, with the same charge so:

Mₐ(CO₃)ₙ

Then:

X₂CO₃

YCO₃

Z₂(CO₃)₃

5. Nitrates

Follow the same rule as the hydroxides, with the same charge of -1.

Mₐ(NO₃)ₙ

Then:

XNO₃

Y(NO₃)₂

Z(NO₃)₂

6. Phosphates

In the case of phosphates, these have a charge of -3 so:

Mₐ(PO₄)ₙ

Then:

X₃PO₄

Y₃(PO₄)₂

Z₃(PO₄)₃ ----> ZPO₄

Hope this helps

Be sure to answer all parts. Consider the formation of ammonia in two experiments. (a) To a 1.00−L container at 727°C, 1.30 mol

Sonbull [250]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of $K_c$ for $2NH_3(g)\rightleftharpoons N_2(g)+3H_2(g)$ reaction is $5.13\times 10^2$

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Initial moles of nitrogen gas = 1.30 moles

Initial moles of hydrogen gas = 1.65 moles

Equilibrium moles of ammonia = 0.100 moles

Volume of the container = 1.00 L

For the given chemical equation:

$N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)$

<u>Initial:</u> 1.30 1.65

<u>At eqllm:</u> 1.30-x 1.65-3x 2x

Evaluating the value of 'x'

$\Rightarrow 2x=0.100\\\\\Rightarrow x=0.050mol$

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation follows:

$K_c=\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[N_2]\times [H_2]^3}$

Equilibrium moles of nitrogen gas = $(1.30-x)=(1.30-0.05)=1.25mol$

Equilibrium moles of hydrogen gas = $(1.65-x)=(1.65-0.05)=1.60mol$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$K_c=\frac{(0.100)^2}{1.25\times (1.60)^3}\\\\K_c=1.95\times 10^{-3}$

Calculating the $K_c'$ for the given chemical equation:

$2NH_3(g)\rightleftharpoons N_2(g)+3H_2(g)$

$K_c'=\frac{1}{K_c}\\\\K_c'=\frac{1}{1.95\times 10^{-3}}=5.13\times 10^2$

Hence, the value of $K_c$ for $2NH_3(g)\rightleftharpoons N_2(g)+3H_2(g)$ reaction is $5.13\times 10^2$

You are instructed to create 900. mL of a 0.29 M phosphate buffer with a pH of 7.8. You have phosphoric acid and the sodium salt

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

B and C

Explanation:

When we have to do a buffer solution we always have to choose the reaction that has the <u>pKa closer to the desired pH value</u>. When we find the pKa values we will obtain:

$pKa_1=-Log[6.9x10^-^3]=2.16$

$pKa_2=-Log[6.2x10^-^8]=7.20$

$pKa_3=-Log[4.8x10^-^13]=12.31$

The closer value is pKa2 with a value of 7.2. Therefore we have to use the second reaction. In which $H_2PO_4^-^1$ is the <u>acid</u> and $HPO_4^-^2$ is the <u>base</u>. Therefore the answer for the first question is B and the answer for the second question is C.

Purification of copper can be achieved by electrorefining copper from an impure copper anode onto a pure copper cathode in an el

givi [52]

Answer: The amount of time needed to plate 14.0 kg of copper onto the cathode is 295 hours

Explanation:

We are given:

Moles of electron = 1 mole

According to mole concept:

1 mole of an atom contains $6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of particles.

We know that:

Charge on 1 electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

Charge on 1 mole of electrons = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=96500C$

$Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu$

$2\times 96500=193000C$ is passed to deposit = 1 mole of copper

63.5 g of copper is deposited by = 193000 C

$14\times 1000g=14000g$ of copper is deposited by = $\frac{193000}{63.5}\times 14000=42551181 C$

To calculate the time required, we use the equation:

$I=\frac{q}{t}$

where,

I = current passed = 40.0 A

q = total charge = 42551181 C

t = time required = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$40.0=\frac{42551181 C}{t}\\\\t=1063779sec$

Converting this into hours, we use the conversion factor:

1 hr = 3600 seconds

So, $1063779s\times \frac{1hr}{3600s}=295hr$

Hence, the amount of time needed to plate 14.0 kg of copper onto the cathode is 295 hours

Pls help Would be much appreciated:)

Pie

Answer:

Ok so, b. A redox reaction occurs in an electrochemical cell, where silver (Ag) is oxidized and nickel (Ni) is reduced - In voltaic cells, also called galvanic cells, oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction occurs at the cathode. A mnemonic for this is "An Ox. Red Cat." So since silver is oxidized, the silver half-cell is the anode. And the nickel half-cell is the cathode...

i. Write the half-reactions for this reaction, indicating the oxidation half-reaction and the reduction half-reaction- The substance having highest positive potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction. Here, zinc will always undergo reduction reaction will get reduced

ii. Which metal is the anode, and which is the cathode?-The anode is where the oxidation reaction takes place. In other words, this is where the metal loses electrons. The cathode is where the reduction reaction takes place.

iii. Calculate the standard potential (voltage) of the cell

Look up the reduction potential,

E

, for the reduction half-reaction in a table of reduction potentials

Look up the reduction potential for the reverse of the oxidation half-reaction and reverse the sign to obtain the oxidation potential. For the oxidation half-reaction,
