<span>es, such reactors are possible. The main feature is that a blanket of uranium surrounds the active core, and by absorbing neutrons some of this transmutes to plutonium, which can then be used to make the active core of a further reactor and so on, hence the term 'breeder</span>

If 4.35 grams of zinc metal react with 35.8 grams of silver nitrate, how many grams of silver metal can be formed and how many g
vaieri [72.5K]
The balanced chemical reaction is written as:

<span>Zn + 2AgNO3 = Zn(NO3)2 + 2Ag

To determine the grams of silver metal that is being produced, it is important to first determine which is the limiting reactant and the excess reactant from the given initial amounts. We do as follows:

4.35 g Zn ( 1 mol / 65.38 g ) ( 2 mol AgNO3 / 1 mol Zn ) = 0.1331 mol AgNO3 needed
35.8 g AgNO3 ( 1 mol / 169.87 g ) ( 1 mol Zn / 2 mol AgNO3 ) = 0.1054 mol Zn needed

Therefore, the limiting reactant would be the zinc metal since it would be consumed completely in the reaction. The excess amount of AgNO3 would be:

0.2107 mol AgNO3 - 0.1331 mol AgNO3 = 0.0776 mol AgNO3 left ( 169.87 g / 1 mol ) = 13.19 g AgNO3 left

0.0665 mol Zn ( 2 mol Ag / 1 mol Zn) ( 107.9 g / 1 mol) = 14.3581 g Ag produced</span>

Consider the following reaction where K. = 154 at 298 K: 2NO(g) + Brz(9) 2NOBr(g) A reaction mixture was found to contain 2.69x1
bekas [8.4K]

Explanation:

2NO(g) + Br_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NOBr(g)

Equilibrium constant of reaction = K=154

Concentration of NO = [NO]=\frac{2.69\times 10^{-2} mol}{1 L}=2.69\times 10^{-2} M

Concentration of bromine gas = [Br_2]=\frac{3.85\times 10^{-2} mol}{1 L}=3.85\times 10^{-2} M

Concentration of NOBr gas = [Br_2]=\frac{9.56\times 10^{-2} mol}{1 L}=9.56\times 10^{-2} M

The reaction quotient is given as:

Q=\frac{[NOBr]^2}{[NO]^2[Br_2]}=\frac{(9.56\times 10^{-2} M)^2}{(2.69\times 10^{-2} M)^2\times 3.85\times 10^{-2} M}

Q=328.06

Q>K

The reaction will go in backward direction in order to achieve an equilibrium state.

1. In order to reach equilibrium NOBr (g) must be produced.  False

2. In order to reach equilibrium K must decrease. False

3. In order to reach equilibrium NO must be produced. True

4. Q. is less than K . False

5. The reaction is at equilibrium. No further reaction will occur. False

Give the name of this alcohol.
solong [7]

Answer:

An alcohol is an organic compound with a hydroxyl (OH) functional group on an aliphatic carbon atom. Because OH is the functional group of all alcohols, we often represent alcohols by the general formula ROH, where R is an alkyl group. Alcohols are common in nature.
