Stalactites and stalagmites form as ________ precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.

Group of answer choices

hydrochloric acid

sodium bicarbonate

calcium carbonate

sodium chloride

sodium hydroxide

Answer:

calcium carbonate

Explanation:

A stalactite is an icicle-looking mould that is formed by the precipitation of natural minerals as a result of water dripping from the ceiling, hanging from a cave.

A stalagmites in the other hand, grows upwards and is also a mound that is formed by the deposits of minerals gotten by the water dripping on the floor of a cave.

Therefore, stalactites and stalagmites form as calcium carbonate precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.

Explanation:

Data

Double displacement reaction

Balanced chemical reaction

               HCl  +  NaOH   ⇒   NaCl  +  H₂O

           Reactants           Elements                Products

                 1                  Chlorine (Cl)                    1

                 1                   Sodium (Na)                   1

                 2                 Hydrogen (H)                  2

                 1                   Oxygen (0)                      1

As we can see, the reaction is balanced and the coefficients of all reactants and products are 1, but the number is not written in a balanced reaction.

For the following reaction, 22.9 grams of nitrogen monoxide are allowed to react with 5.80 grams of hydrogen gas. nitrogen monox
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

1) Maximun ammount of nitrogen gas: m_{N2}=10.682 g N_2

2) Limiting reagent: NO

3) Ammount of excess reagent: m_{N2}=4.274 g

Explanation:

<u>The reaction </u>

2 NO (g) + 2 H_2 (g) \longrightarrow N_2 (g) + 2 H_2O (g)

Moles of nitrogen monoxide

Molecular weight: M_{NO}=30 g/mol

n_{NO}=\frac{m_{NO}}{M_{NO}}

n_{NO}=\frac{22.9 g}{30 g/mol}=0.763 mol

Moles of hydrogen

Molecular weight: M_{H2}=2 g/mol

n_{H2}=\frac{m_{H2}}{M_{H2}}

n_{H2}=\frac{.5.8 g}{2 g/mol}=2.9 mol

Mol rate of H2 and NO is 1:1 => hydrogen gas is in excess

1) <u>Maximun ammount of nitrogen gas</u> => when all NO reacted

m_{N2}=0.763 mol NO* \frac{1 mol N_2}{2 mol NO}*\frac{28 g N_2}{mol N_2}

m_{N2}=10.682 g N_2

2) <u>Limiting reagent</u>: NO

3) <u>Ammount of excess reagent</u>:

m_{N2}=(2.9 mol - 0.763 mol NO* \frac{1 mol H_2}{1 mol NO})*\frac{2 g H_2}{mol H_2}

m_{N2}=4.274 g

A gas sample occupies 3.25 liters at 297.5K and 2.4 atm. Determine the temperature at which the gas will occupy 4.25 L at 1.50 a
lorasvet [3.4K]

For equal moles of  gas, temperature can be calculated from ideal gas equation as follows:

P×V=n×R×T ...... (1)

Initial volume, temperature and pressure of gas is 3.25 L, 297.5 K and 2.4 atm respectively.

2.4 atm ×3.25 L=n×R×297.5 K

Rearranging,

n\times R=0.0262 atm L/K

Similarly at final pressure and volume from equation (1),

1.5 atm ×4.25 L=n×R×T

Putting the value of n×R in above equation,

1.5 atm ×4.25 L=0.0262 (atm L/K)×T

Thus, T=243.32 K
