Four moles of hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas react with one mole of oxygen (O2) gas to produce two moles of chlorine gas (Cl2) and
Marianna [84]

Answer:

4HCl(g) + O₂(g) →  2Cl₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)

Explanation:

In order to find the equation we should state:

The reactants → Hydrogen chloride (HCl) and oxygen (O₂)

The products → Chlorine gas (Cl₂) and water gas (H₂O)

The balanced equation is:

4HCl + O₂  →  2Cl₂ + 2H₂O

It is a redox reaction, where the oxygen reduces to make water, and the chloride is oxidized to produce elemental chlorine.

Calculate the work (kJ) done during a reaction in which the internal volume expands from 20 L to 43 L against an outside pressur
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{-10.0 kJ}}

Explanation:

1. Calculate the work

w = - pΔV = -4.3 atm × (43 L - 20 L) = -4.3 × 23 L·atm = -98.9 L·atm

2. Convert litre-atmospheres to joules

w = \text{-98.9 L\cdot$atm } \times \dfrac{\text{101.3 J}}{\text{1 L$\cdot$atm }} = \text{-10000 J} = \textbf{-10.0 kJ}\\\\\text{The work done is $\large \boxed{\textbf{-10.0 kJ}}$}

The negative sign indicates that the work was done against the surroundings.

A substance with a high pOH would likely have which of the following?
Anna [14]

Answer: a low OH^-  and low pH.

Explanation:

pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

pH is calculated by taking negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pOH=-log[OH^-]

pOH=log\frac {1}{OH^-}

Thus as pOH and OH^- are inversely related, a solution having higher pOH will have less amount of OH^- concentration. And a solution having more pOH will have less pH.

Thus a substance with a high pOH would likely have low OH^- concentration and low pH.

1. You have 19.7 grams of a material and wonder how many moles were formed. Your
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

No. If you were to set up what the friend said it would look like this:

19.7g × \frac{grams}{moles} ==>  \frac{19.7 grams}{1} ×

The above does not look right because the grams do not cancel out. If it's not cancelled, it would be included in your final answer, but you're looking for moles not grams.

When setting up a stoichiometry equation, you have to put the same unit of measurement (ex- grams, cm, mm, etc.) on the numerator of one side and the denominator of the other side.

This would cancel out the unit.

For example: If you wanted to find out how much of 320 cm are in a meter.

*there are 100 cm in 1 meter*

(1. always start with the given number!)

(2. set up the next fraction where you can cancel out cm)

\frac{320cm}{1} × \frac{1 meter}{100 cm} = 3.2 m

Going back, your friend would have to switch the units from grams/moles to moles/grams. It would cancel out grams, which would leave moles. Therefore, moles will be included in your final answer.

\frac{19.7 grams}{1} × \frac{moles}{grams} = _?_ moles
