13. What would you expect the pH of an aqueous solution of tertiary bromide in water to be (acidic, neutral, or basic)

Balance each of the following redox reactions occurring in basic solution.MnO−4(aq)+Br−(aq)→MnO2(s)+BrO−3(aq)Express your answer

Ahat [919]

Answer : The balanced chemical equation is,

$2MnO_4^-(aq)+Br^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+BrO_3^-(aq)+2OH^-(aq)$

Explanation :

Rules for the balanced chemical equation in basic solution are :

First we have to write into the two half-reactions.
Now balance the main atoms in the reaction.
Now balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction.
If the oxygen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding water molecules at that side where the more number of oxygen are present.
If the hydrogen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding hydroxide ion $(OH^-)$ at that side where the less number of hydrogen are present.
Now balance the charge.

The half reactions in the basic solution are :

Reduction : $MnO_4^-(aq)+2H_2O(l)+3e^-\rightarrow MnO_2(s)+4OH^-(aq)$ ......(1)

Oxidation : $Br^-(aq)+6OH^-(aq)\rightarrow BrO_3^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+6e^-$ .......(2)

Now multiply the equation (1) by 2 and then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

The balanced chemical equation in a basic solution will be,

$2MnO_4^-(aq)+Br^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+BrO_3^-(aq)+2OH^-(aq)$

How many moles of co2 can be produced by the complete reaction of 1.53 g of lithium carbonatewith excess hydrochloric acid (bala

nlexa [21]

Moles of Li2CO3 = 1.53/73.891 = 0.0207 mole
Since HCl is in excess, amount of CO2 will depend on the limiting reagent which is Li2CO3.

∴Moles of CO2 = Moles of Li2CO3 = 0.0207.

Which is not a reason why mass of an atom is expressed in atomic mass units rather than in grams?

Tasya [4]

What are your answer choices? Scientists express the weight in AMU’s so that they can easily think about the weight of the atom. If it is expressed in grams, they’re constantly dealing with a weight that’s around 10^-24 grams, which is hard to deal with.

A 0.4272 g sample of an element contains 2.241 x 10 ^21 atoms . what is the symbol of the element?

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Likely $\rm In$ (indium.)

Explanation:

Number of atoms: $N = 2.241 \times 10^{21}$ .

Dividing, $N$ , the number of atoms by the Avogadro constant, $N_A \approx 6.023 \times 10^{23} \; \rm mol^{-1}$ , would give the number of moles of atoms in this sample:

$\begin{aligned} n &= \frac{N}{N_{A}} \\ &\approx \frac{2.241 \times 10^{21}}{6.023 \times 10^{23}\; \rm mol^{-1}} \approx 3.72 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm mol \end{aligned}$ .

The mass of that many atom is $m = 0.4272\; \rm g$ . Estimate the average mass of one mole of atoms in this sample:

$\begin{aligned}M &= \frac{m}{n} \\ &\approx \frac{0.4272\; \rm g}{3.72 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm mol} \approx 114.82\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

The average mass of one mole of atoms of an element ( $114.82\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ in this example) is numerically equal to the average atomic mass of that element. Refer to a modern periodic table and look for the element with average atomic mass $114.82$ . Indium, $\rm In$ , is the closest match.
