A new grill has a mass of 30.0 kg. you put 1.5 kg of charcoal in the grill. you burn all the charcoal and the grill has a mass o
atroni [7]

The reaction for burning of charcoal or complete combustion is as follows:

C(s)+O_{2}(g)\rightarrow CO_{2}(g)

From the above balanced reaction, 1 mole of carbon releases 1 mole of CO_{2} gas.

Converting mass of charcoal into moles as follows:

n=\frac{m}{M}

Molar mass of pure carbon is 12 g/mol thus,

n=\frac{1.5\times 10^{3} g}{12 g/mol}=125mol

The same moles of CO_{2} is released. Converting these moles into mass as follows:

m=n×M

Molar mass of CO_{2} is 44 g/mol thus,

m=125mol\times 44 g/mol=5.5\times 10^{3}g

Converting mass into kg,

1g=10^{-3}kg

Thus, total mass of gas released is 5.5 kg.

In terms of valence electrons, explain why metals form positive ions.
diamong [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Metal elements form positively charged ions called cations because they are located on the left side of the periodic table These elements all have valence electrons in an s orbital. These electrons are relatively easy for the atom to lose to achieve a stable octet of electrons in its outermost energy shell.

what volume of co2 is produced at stp when 270g of glucose are consumed in the following reaction? c6h12o6 + 6o2(g) -> 6co2 (
lana [24]

Answer:

202 L

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂(g) ⇒ 6 CO₂(g) + 6 H₂O(l)

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 270 g of C₆H₁₂O₆

The molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ is 180.16 g/mol.

270 g × 1 mol/180.16 g = 1.50 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of CO₂ generated from 1.50 moles of glucose

The molar ratio of C₆H₁₂O₆ to CO₂ is 1:6. The moles of CO₂ formed are 6/1 × 1.50 mol = 9.00 mol

Step 4: Calculate the volume of 9.00 moles of CO₂ at STP

The volume of 1 mole of an ideal gas at STP is 22.4 L.

9.00 mol × 22.4 L/mol = 202 L

Determine the [OH−] of a solution that is 0.115 M in CO32−. For carbonic acid (H2CO3), Ka1=4.3×10−7 and Ka2=5.6×10−11.
lianna [129]

Answer:

[OH⁻] = 4.3 x 10⁻¹¹M in OH⁻ ions.

Explanation:

Assuming the source of the carbonate ion is from a Group IA carbonate salt (e.g.; Na₂CO₃), then 0.115M Na₂CO₃(aq) => 2(0.115)M Na⁺(aq) + 0.115M CO₃²⁻(aq). The 0.115M CO₃²⁻ then reacts with water to give 0.115M carbonic acid; H₂CO₃(aq) in equilibrium with H⁺(aq) and HCO₃⁻(aq) as the 1st ionization step.

Analysis:

            H₂CO₃(aq)     ⇄     H⁺(aq)    +    HCO₃⁻(aq); Ka(1) = 4.3 x 10⁻⁷

C(i)          0.115M                      0                  0

ΔC              -x                        +x                  +x

C(eq)    0.115M - x                   x                    x

            ≅ 0.115M

Ka(1) = [H⁺(aq)][HCO₃⁻(aq)]/[H₂CO₃(aq)] = [(x)(x)/(0.115)]M = [x²/0.115]M

= 4.3 x 10⁻⁷  => x = [H⁺(aq)]₁ = SqrRt(4.3 x 10⁻⁷ · 0.115)M = 2.32 x 10⁻⁴M in H⁺ ions.

In general, it is assumed that all of the hydronium ion comes from the 1st ionization step as adding 10⁻¹¹ to 10⁻⁷ would be an insignificant change in H⁺ ion concentration. Therefore, using 2.32 x 10⁻⁴M in H⁺ ion  concentration, the hydroxide ion concentration is then calculated from

[H⁺][OH⁻] = Kw => [OH⁻] = (1 x 10⁻¹⁴/2.32 x 10⁻⁴)M = 4.3 x 10⁻¹¹M in OH⁻ ions.

________________________________________________________

NOTE: The 2.32 x 10⁻⁴M  value for [H⁺] is reasonable for carbonic acid solution with pH ≅ 3.5 - 4.0.
