Answer:

True

Explanation:

Ethers react with HI to form the corresponding alcohols and alkyl iodides.

Similarly, ethyl ether react with excess of HI to form ethanol and ethyl iodide. But in the excess of HI as mentioned in the question, ethanol too undergoes $S^{N}2$ reaction with HI to form ethyl iodide.

Hence, ethyl iodide is the only product when ethyl ether reacts with excess of HI for several hours.

For the reaction 2A(g) â B(g), the equilibrium constant is Kp = 0.76. A reaction mixture initially contains 4.0 atm of gas (PA =

timofeeve [1]

Answer: (a) The reaction mixture will proceed toward products.

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of pressure of products to the pressure of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_p$

K is the constant of a certain reaction when it is in equilibrium, while Q is the quotient of activities of products and reactants at any stage other than equilibrium of a reaction.

For the given chemical reaction:

$2A(g)\rightleftharpoons B(g)$

The expression for $Q_p$ is written as:

$Q_p=\frac{p_B}{(p_A)^2}$

$Q_p=\frac{(2.0)}{(2.0)^2}$

$Q_p=0.5$

$K_p=0.76$

Thus as $K_p>Q_p$ , the reaction will shift towards the right i.e. towards the product side.

Write a chemical equation for the following decomposition reaction.

Aneli [31]

the chemical equation will be Ni(OH)2(s)------>heat---> NiO(s) + H2O(g)
we know that the heat supplied to decompose the compound.In the result the product H2O is assumed to be in the vapor state so that is gas.

If 42 grams of carbon and 52 grams of oxygen are used, how many grams of CO2 will be produced (Hint: find the

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

71.5g

Explanation:

The reaction equation is given as:

C + O₂ → CO₂

Mass of C = 42g

Mass of O₂ = 52g

Unknown:

Mass of CO₂ produced = ?

Solution

Now to solve this problem, we have to find limiting reactant which is the one given in short supply in this reaction.

The extent of the reaction is controlled by this reactant.

Find the number of moles of the given species;

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Number of moles of C = $\frac{42}{12}$ = 3.5mol

Number of moles of O₂ = $\frac{52}{32}$ = 1.63mol

Now;

From the balanced reaction equation;

1 mole of C reacted with 1 mole of O₂

We see that C is in excess and O₂ is the limiting reactant.

1 mole of O₂ will produce 1 mole of CO₂

So; 1.63mole of O₂ will produce 1.63 mole of CO₂

Mass of CO₂ = number of moles x molar mass

Molar mass of CO₂ = 44g/mol

Mass of CO₂ = 1.63 x 44 = 71.5g

Marianna [84]

Answer:

0.136g

Explanation:

A student dissolved 5.00 g of Co(NO3)2 in enough water to make 100. mL of stock solution. He took 4.00 mL of the stock solution and then diluted it with water to give 275. mL of a final solution. How many grams of NO3- ion are there in the final solution?

$Co(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)$
