The concentration of CO₃²⁻ ions will be higher

To explain, I want you to imagine H₂CO₃ in water.

we know that it will lose 2 of it's protons, and form 2 ions

The ion which is more stable will have a higher concentration because that ion will refuse to react with anything else, so once something turns into that specific ion, it's not going back... unless there's a more stabler ion possible

In this case, the 2 ions formed are: HCO₃⁻ and CO₃⁽²⁻⁾, drawing the structures of both the ions tells us that both of them have resonance, but the CO₃⁽²⁻⁾ ion has more resonance structures and hence is more stable

A gas is at a pressure of 3.70 atm. What is this pressure in kilopascals?
Yanka [14]
Answer:
                =   374.90 kPa 

Calculation:
                  As we know atm and kiloPascal are related to each other as,

                                         1 atm  =  101.325 kPa
So,
                                    3.70 atm  =   X
Solving for X,
                                     X  = (3.70 atm × 101.325 kPa) ÷ 1 atm

                                     X  =  374.90 kPa

How many moles of ScCl3 can be produced when 10.00 mol Sc react with 9.00 mol Cl2
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Moles of ScCl_3 = 6 moles

Explanation:

The reaction of Sc and Cl_2 to make ScCl_3 is:

2Sc+3Cl_2⇒2ScCl_3

The above reaction shows that 2 moles of Sc  can react with 3 moles of Cl_2 to form ScCl_3.

Mole Ratio= 2:3

For 10 moles of Sc we need:

Moles of Cl_2 = Moles of Sc *\frac{3 moles of Cl_2}{2 Moles of Sc}

Moles of Cl_2 = 10 *\frac{3 moles of Cl_2}{2 Moles of Sc}

Moles of Cl_2 =15 moles

So 15 moles of Cl_2 are required to react with 10 moles of Sc but we have 9 moles of Cl_2 , it means Cl_2 is limiting reactant.

Moles of ScCl_3=Given\  Moles\  of\ Cl_2 *\frac{2\  Moles\ o\ fScCl_3}{3\ Moles\ of\ Cl_2}

Moles\ of\  ScCl_3=9 *\frac{2\  Moles\ of\ ScCl_3}{3\ Moles\ of\ Cl_2}

Moles of ScCl_3= 6 moles

A tablet of Pain Be Gone Aspirin, which had a mass of 1.213 g, was pulverized and 1.159 g were dissolved in 10.0 mL of ethyl alc
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

a. Moles of NaOH  = 0.001643 moles

b. 0.296 g

c. 0.3098 g

d. Not acceptable

Explanation:

a.

Considering:

Molarity=\frac{Moles\ of\ solute}{Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Or,

Moles =Molarity \times {Volume\ of\ the\ solution}

Given :

For NaOH :

Molarity = 0.1052 M

Volume = 15.62 mL

The conversion of mL to L is shown below:

1 mL = 10⁻³ L

Thus, volume = 15.62×10⁻³ L

Thus, moles of NaOH :

Moles=0.1052 \times {15.62\times 10^{-3}}\ moles

Moles of NaOH  = 0.001643 moles

b.

The reaction of NaOH with the acetylsalicylic acid is in the ratio of 1:1.

Thus, Moles of NaOH = Moles of acetylsalicylic acid = 0.001643 moles

Molar mass of acetylsalicylic acid = 180.16 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}

Thus,

Mass = Moles * Molar mass = 0.001643 moles * 180.16 g/mol = 0.296 g

c.

1.159 g of sample contains 0.296 g of acetylsalicylic acid

1.213 g of sample contains \frac{0.296}{1.159}\times 1.213 g of acetylsalicylic acid

Mass of acetylsalicylic acid = 0.3098 g = 309.8 mg

d. Sample contains = 309.8 mg

Manufacturer claiming = 315 mg to 335 mg

Thus , it is not acceptable.

Which of the following distinguishes a nuclear reaction from a chemical reaction? a.It involves atoms.
MissTica
The option that distinguishes a nuclear reaction from a chemical reaction is D. there is a change in the nucleus.
During a nuclear reaction, two light nuclei combine in order to create a new, heavier one which is different than those two original ones and has additional particles that it didn't have originally. This is what makes the difference between these two reactions.
