4. Consider the following half-reactions: MnO4–(aq) + 8H+(aq) + 5e– → Mn+2(aq) + 4H2O(l) NO3–(aq) + 4H+(aq) + 3e– → NO(g) + 2H2O
jeyben [28]

Explanation:

The chemical reaction given in the question is as follows -

MnO₄⁻ (aq) + 8H⁺ (aq) + 5e⁻ → Mn²⁺ (aq) + 4H₂O (l)

NO₃⁻ (aq) + 4H⁺ (aq) + 3e⁻ → NO (g) + 2H₂O (l)

As we know , the value for reduction potential are -

Mn²⁺ = + 1.51  V

NO₃⁻  =  +0.96 V

From , the data given above , the value of the reduction potential of NO₃⁻ is less than the reduction potential of Mn²⁺ .

Hence ,

NO₃⁻  can not oxidize Mn²⁺ .

Excess magnesium reacts with 165.0 grams of hydrochloric acid in a single displacement reaction.
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The volume of hydrogen gas produced will be approximately 50.7 liters under STP.

Explanation:

Relative atomic mass data from a modern periodic table:

  • H: 1.008;
  • Cl: 35.45.

Magnesium is a reactive metal. It reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce

  • Hydrogen gas \rm H_2, and
  • Magnesium chloride, which is a salt.

The chemical equation will be something like

\rm ?\;Mg\;(s) + ?\;HCl \;(aq)\to ?\;H_2 \;(g)+ [\text{Formula of the Salt}],

where the coefficients and the formula of the salt are to be found.

To determine the number of moles of \rm H_2 that will be produced, first find the formula of the salt, magnesium chloride.

Magnesium is a group 2 metal. The oxidation state of magnesium in compounds tends to be +2.

On the other hand, the charge on each chloride ion is -1. Each magnesium ion needs to pair up with two chloride ions for the charge to balance in the salt, magnesium chloride. The formula for the salt will be \rm MgCl_2.

\rm ?\;Mg\;(s) + ?\;HCl\;(aq) \to ?\;H_2 \;(g)+ ?\;MgCl_2\;(aq).

Balance the equation. \rm MgCl_2 contains the largest number of atoms among all species in this reaction. Start by setting its coefficient to 1.

\rm ?\;Mg\;(s) + ?\;HCl\;(aq) \to ?\;H_2 \;(g)+ {\bf 1\;MgCl_2}\;(aq).

The number of \rm Mg and \rm Cl atoms shall be the same on both sides. Therefore

\rm {\bf 1\;Mg}\;(s) + {\bf 2\;HCl}\;(aq) \to ?\;H_2 \;(g)+ {1\;\underset{\wedge}{Mg}\underset{\wedge}{Cl_2}}\;(aq).

The number of \rm H atoms shall also conserve. Hence the equation:

\rm {1\;Mg}\;(s) + {2\;\underset{\wedge}{H}Cl}\;(aq) \to {\bf 1\;H_2 \;(g)}+ {1\;MgCl_2}\;(aq).

How many moles of HCl are available?

M(\rm HCl) = 1.008 + 35.45 = 36.458\;g\cdot mol^{-1}.

\displaystyle n({\rm HCl}) = \frac{m(\text{HCl})}{M(\text{HCl})} = \rm \frac{165.0\;g}{36.458\;g\cdot mol^{-1}} = 4.52576\;mol.

How many moles of Hydrogen gas will be produced?

Refer to the balanced chemical equation, the coefficient in front of \rm HCl is 2 while the coefficient in front of \rm H_2 is 1. In other words, it will take two moles of \rm HCl to produce one mole of \rm H_2. \rm 4.52576\;mol of \rm HCl will produce only one half as much \rm H_2.

Alternatively, consider the ratio between the coefficient in front of \rm H_2 and \rm HCl is:

\displaystyle \frac{n(\text{H}_2)}{n(\text{HCl})} = \frac{1}{2}.

\displaystyle n(\text{H}_2) = n(\text{HCl})\cdot \frac{n(\text{H}_2)}{n(\text{HCl})} = \frac{1}{2}\;n(\text{HCl}) = \rm \frac{1}{2}\times 4.52576\;mol = 2.26288\;mol.

What will be the volume of that many hydrogen gas?

One mole of an ideal gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters under STP (where the pressure is 1 atm.) On certain textbook where STP is defined as \rm 1.00\times 10^{5}\;Pa, that volume will be 22.7 liters.

V(\text{H}_2) = \rm 2.26288\;mol\times 22.4\;L\cdot mol^{-1} = 50.69\; L, or

V(\text{H}_2) = \rm 2.26288\;mol\times 22.7\;L\cdot mol^{-1} = 51.37\; L.

The value "165.0 grams" from the question comes with four significant figures. Keep more significant figures than that in calculations. Round the final result to four significant figures.

How to tell if a compound is ionic or molecular?
zhenek [66]
<span>When naming compounds, the first thing you need to do is decide if the compound is ionic or molecular. *Ionic compounds will contain both metals and non-metals, or at least one polyatomic ion. *Acids will always include the (aq) symbol beside the formula, and the name will include the word acid.</span>

What mass of HCL, in grams, is required to react with 0.610 g of al(oh)3 ?
kompoz [17]

Answer: 0.8541 grams of HCl will be required.

Explanation: Moles can be calculated by using the formula:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass of Al(OH)_3 = 0.610 g

Molar mass of Al(OH)_3 = 78 g/mol

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{0.610g}{78g/mol}

Number of moles of Al(OH)_3 = 0.0078 moles

The reaction between Al(OH)_3 and HCl is a type of neutralization reaction because here acid and base are reacting to form an salt and also releases water.

Chemical equation for the above reaction follows:

Al(OH)_3+3HCl\rightarrow AlCl_3+3H_2O

By Stoichiometry,

1 mole of  Al(OH)_3 reacts with 3 moles of HCl

So, 0.0078 moles of Al(OH)_3 will react with \frac{3}{1}\times 0.0078 = 0.0234 moles

Mass of HCl is calculated by using the mole formula, we get

Molar mass of HCl = 36.5 g/mol

Putting values in the equation, we get

0.0234moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{36.5g/mol}

Mass of HCl required will be = 0.8541 grams
