Explain why, in a balanced chemical equation C + O2 CO2, we know that 1 gram of C will not react exactly with 1 gram of O2.

Chemistry

Pepsi [2]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

From the equation, 1 mole of C requires 1 mole of O2 for a balanced reaction.

<u>1 g of C will not exactly react with 1 g of O2 because the 1 g of each of the reactants contain different amounts of the substance.</u>

The amount (in moles) of a substance is the mass of that substance divided by the molar mass.

<em>Hence, 1 g of C will contain 1/12 moles of the substance while 1 g of O2 will contain 1/32 moles of the substance. </em>

How many milliliters of water are needed to prepare a 3.5M solution of NaOH if you have .5mol of the solute
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

1335.12 mL of H2O

Explanation:

To calculate the mililiters of water that the solution needs, it is necessary to know that the volume of the solution is equal to the volume of the solute (NaOH) plus the volume of the solvent (H2O).

From the molarity formula we can first calculate the volume of the solution:

M=\frac{solute moles}{solution volume}

Solutionvolume=\frac{solute moles}{M} =\frac{5mol}{3.5\frac{mol}{L} } =1.429L

The volume of the solution as we said previously is:

Solution volume = solute volume + solvent volume

To determine the volume of the solute we first obtain the grams of NaOH through the molecular weight formula:

MW=\frac{mass}{mol}

Mass=MW*mol=39.997\frac{g}{mol} *5mol=199.985g

Now with the density of NaOH the milliliters of solute can be determined:

d=\frac{mass}{volume}

Volume=\frac{mass}{d} =\frac{199.985g}{2.13\frac{g}{mL} } =93.88mL of NaOH

Having the volume of the solution and the volume of the solute, the volume of the solvent H2O can be calculated:

Solvent volume = solution volume - solute volume

Solvent volume = 1429 mL -  93.88 mL = 1335.12 mL of H2O

Answer the following questions that relate to electrochemical reactions. (a) Under standard conditions at 25˚C, Zn(s) reacts wit
Elanso [62]

Answer:

0.48 V

Explanation:

Zn(s) ------------> Zn^2+(aq) + 2e. Oxidation half equation (-0.76V)

Co^2+(aq) + 2e-----------> Co(s). Reduction half equation (-0.28)

Zn(s) + Co^2+(aq) -------------> Zn^2+(aq) + Co(s) overall redox equation

Zinc is the anode while cobalt is the cathode.

E°cell= E°cathode - E°anode

E°cell= -0.28-(-0.76)= 0.48 V

a chemist is studying an unknown substance he can break it into its elemental only by using chemical means.Based on this observa
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Compound

Explanation:

We want to know if it's a compound or a mixture.

An example of a mixture is salt water: you can heat it hot enough to boil off the water, leaving only the salt. This is a physical change, which is how you know it's a mixture.

Something like gold is a compound: if you heat it, or hit it, you'll still only have gold. You can only break it down by chemical means, which is how you know it's a compound.
