Sodium peroxide (Na2O2) is often used in self-contained breathing devices, such as those used in fire emergencies, because it re

acts with exhaled CO2 to form Na2CO3 and O2. How many liters of respired air can react with 96.7 g of Na2O2 if each liter of respired air contains 0.0755 g of CO2

Answer:

725.15 L

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between Na₂O₂ and CO₂ is the following:

Na₂O₂ + CO₂ → Na₂CO₃ + 1/2 O₂

From the stoichiometry of the reaction, 1 mol of Na₂O₂ reacts with 1 mol CO₂. So, the stoichiometric ratio is 1 mol Na₂O₂/1 CO₂.

Now, we convert the mass of reactants to moles by using the molecular weight (Mw) of each compound:

Mw (Na₂O₂) = (23 g/mol x 2) + (16 g/mol x 2) = 78 g/mol

moles Na₂O₂ = 96.7 g/(78 g/mol) = 1.24 mol Na₂O₂

Mw (CO₂) = 12 g/mol + (16 g/mol x 2) = 44 g/mol

moles CO₂ = 0.0755 g/(44 g/mol) = 1.71 x 10⁻³ mol CO₂

Now, we calculate the number of moles of CO₂ we need to completely react with the mass of Na₂O₂ we have:

1.24 mol Na₂O₂ x 1 mol CO₂/1 mol Na₂O₂ = 1.24 mol CO₂

In 1 L of respired air we have 1.71 x 10⁻³ mol CO₂ (0.0755 g), so we need the following number of liters to have 1.24 mol of CO₂:

1.24 mol CO₂ x 1 L/1.71 x 10⁻³ mol CO₂ = 725.15 L

Which of the following apply to diffusion. Select all that apply. Solids can diffuse in liquids. Liquids can diffuse in liquids.
e-lub [12.9K]

Correct answers are:

  • Solids can diffuse in liquids. Think of a sugar cube sitting at the bottom of a cup of tea.
  • Liquids can diffuse in liquids. Think of a drop of food colouring in water
  • It is the process of intermingling atoms from one substance into another.

The other answers are <em>incorrect</em> because:

  • Gas molecules are far apart and diffuse rapidly.  
  • A solid can diffuse into another solid. Pure lead can diffuse into gold, and pure gold can diffuse into lead.

A student prepares a 0.47mM aqueous solution of acetic acid CH3CO2H. Calculate the fraction of acetic acid that is in the dissoc
Aliun [14]

The fraction of acetic acid that is dissociated is 0.18

Why?

The chemical equation for the dissociation of acetic acid (HAc) is the following:

HAc(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + Ac⁻(aq)

To find the fraction of acetic acid that is in the dissociated form (f), we apply the following equation (Ka for acetic acid is 1.76*10⁻⁵). This equation comes from solving the equation of the equilibrium constant for the dissociated fraction of HAc:

f=\frac{-Ka+\sqrt{Ka^{2} +4KaC} }{2C} = 0.18

Have a nice day!
