You are given a 1.55 g mixture of calcium nitrate and calcium chloride. You dissolve this mixture in 20 mL of water and add an e

xcess of 0.300 M silver nitrate. You collect and dry the resulting precipitate and determine it has a mass of 0.535 grams. Calculate the percent calcium chloride in the original mixture.

Answer:

13.4 (w/w)% of CaCl₂ in the mixture

Explanation:

All the Cl⁻ that comes from CaCl₂ (Calcium chloride) will be precipitate in presence of AgNO₃ as AgCl.

To solve this problem we must find the moles of AgCl = Moles of Cl⁻. As 2 moles of Cl⁻ are in 1 mole of CaCl₂ we can find the moles of CaCl₂ and its mass in order to find mass percent of calcium chloride in the original mixture.

<em>Moles AgCl - Molar mass: 143.32g/mol -:</em>

0.535g * (1mol / 143.32g) = 3.733x10⁻³ moles AgCl = Moles Cl⁻

<em>Moles CaCl₂:</em>

3.733x10⁻³ moles Cl⁻ * (1mol CaCl₂ / 2mol Cl⁻) = 1.866x10⁻³ moles CaCl₂

<em>Mass CaCl₂ -Molar mass: 110.98g/mol-:</em>

1.866x10⁻³ moles CaCl₂ * (110.98g/mol) = 0.207g of CaCl₂ in the mixture

That means mass percent of CaCl₂ is:

0.207g CaCl₂ / 1.55g * 100 =

<h3>13.4 (w/w)% of CaCl₂ in the mixture</h3>

Calculate the equilibrium constant K for the following reaction: H2(g) +
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

192.9

Explanation:

From the question,

Ke = [HCL]²/[H₂][CL₂].......................... Equation 1

Where Ke = Equilibrium constant.

Given: [HCL] = 0.0625 M, [H₂] = 0.0045 M, [CL₂] = 0.0045 M

Substitute these values into equation 1

Ke = (0.0625)²/(0.0045)(0.0045)

ke = (3.90625×10⁻³)/(2.025×10⁻⁵)

ke = 1.929×10²

ke = 192.9

Hence the equilibrium constant of the system = 192.9

A student prepares a 1.8 M aqueous solution of 4-chlorobutanoic acid (C2H CICO,H. Calculate the fraction of 4-chlorobutanoic aci
Kruka [31]

Answer:

Percentage dissociated = 0.41%

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the reaction is:

C_3H_6ClCO_2H_{(aq)} \to C_3H_6ClCO_2^-_{(aq)}+ H^+_{(aq)}

The ICE table is then shown as:

                               C_3H_6ClCO_2H_{(aq)}  \ \ \ \ \to  \ \ \ \ C_3H_6ClCO_2^-_{(aq)} \ \ +  \ \ \ \ H^+_{(aq)}

Initial   (M)                     1.8                                       0                               0

Change  (M)                   - x                                     + x                           + x

Equilibrium   (M)            (1.8 -x)                                  x                              x

K_a  = \frac{[C_3H_6ClCO^-_2][H^+]}{[C_3H_6ClCO_2H]}

where ;

K_a = 3.02*10^{-5}

3.02*10^{-5} = \frac{(x)(x)}{(1.8-x)}

Since the value for K_a is infinitesimally small; then 1.8 - x ≅ 1.8

Then;

3.02*10^{-5} *(1.8) = {(x)(x)}

5.436*10^{-5}= {(x^2)

x = \sqrt{5.436*10^{-5}}

x = 0.0073729 \\ \\ x = 7.3729*10^{-3} \ M

Dissociated form of  4-chlorobutanoic acid = C_3H_6ClCO_2^- = x= 7.3729*10^{-3} \ M

Percentage dissociated = \frac{C_3H_6ClCO^-_2}{C_3H_6ClCO_2H} *100

Percentage dissociated = \frac{7.3729*10^{-3}}{1.8 }*100

Percentage dissociated = 0.4096

Percentage dissociated = 0.41%     (to two significant digits)
