OleMash [197]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Note: Molar masses of elements can be found online or in the periodic table.

Moles of Magnesium

= 3.60g / (24.3g/mol) = 0.148mol.

Moles of Chlorine

= 10.65g / (35.45g/mol) = 0.300mol.

Mole ratio of Magnesium to Chlorine

= 0.148mol : 0.300mol = 1 : 2.

Hence we have the empirical formula MgCl2.

Moles of Lithium

= 9.1g / (6.94g/mol) = 1.311mol.

Moles of Oxygen

= 10.4g / (16g/mol) = 0.650mol.

Moles ratio of Lithium to Oxygen

= 1.311mol : 0.650mol = 2 : 1.

Hence we have the empirical formula Li2O.

Given the equation: HCl + Na2SO4 → NaCl + H2SO4, if you start with 8 moles of hydrochloric acid, how many grams of sulfuric acid
Simora [160]

Answer:

392g sulfuric acid are produced

Explanation:

Based on the balanced equation:

2HCl + Na2SO4 → 2NaCl + H2SO4

<em>2 moles of HCl produce 1 mole of sulfuric acid</em>

<em />

To solve the problem we need to find the moles of sulfuric acid produced based on the chemical equation. Then, using its molar mass -<em>Molar mass H2SO4 = 98g/mol- </em>we can find the mass of sulfuric acid produced:

<em>Moles sulfuric acid:</em>

8mol HCl * (1mol H2SO4 / 2mol HCl) = 4 mol H2SO4

<em>Mass sulfuric acid:</em>

4mol H2SO4 * (98g / mol) =

392g sulfuric acid are produced

What purpose do each of the following play in the isolation and purification of ethyl 3- hydroxybutanoate?
Shalnov [3]

Explanation:

-Filter help — delete some big unreacted, undesirable species (norit is probably from what you are sorting through, its only carbon which cleans up things)

— extract with DCM because you are probably in an aqueous phase, and some butanoate is in it

- Anhydrous sodium absorbs excess of  water (dries the material)

-evaporation in the hood to clear the DCM and crystallize the product.

What kinds of features would you expect to see at the edges of two plates, like these that are moving apart at their boundary?
Harman [31]
The movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates move sideways in relation to each other. Hope this helps! :D
