Answer:

Mass = 14.72 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of hydrogen = 6.58 L

Temperature of gas = 32°C (32+273 = 305 k)

Pressure of gas = 895 mmHg (895/760 = 1.2 atm)

Mass of sodium required = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2HCl + 2Na     →      2NaCl + H₂

Number of moles of hydrogen:

PV = nRT

1.2 atm × 6.58 L = n× 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K×305 K

7.9 atm.L =  n×  25.0  atm.L/mol

n = 7.9 atm.L / 25.0  atm.L/mol

n = 0.32 mol

Now we will compare the moles of hydrogen with sodium.

             H₂           :        Na

              1              :        2

            0.32          :     2/1×0.32 = 0.64 mol

Mass of sodium:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.64 mol × 23 g/mol

Mass = 14.72 g

Which statement correctly describes a chemical equilibrium? it must take place in an open system the mass of the reactants and t
Svetllana [295]
In your choices, the best answer is the mass of the reactants and the mass of the products are no equal. The chemical equilibrium can take place in a close system and can not be affected by catalyst and is a reversible reaction. The best describe should be the concentration of reactants and products are constant.

What does a fluorine ion have in common with a neon and a sodium ion
DanielleElmas [232]
The atomic number (Z) of the 3 elements F, Ne, and Na, are 9, 10, and 11.

Explanation:

Now Z refers to the number of protons in the element's nucleus, and protons are POSITIVELY charged particles. So a fluoride ion, F−, has 10 electrons rather than 9 (why?), a neutral neon atom has 10 electrons, and a sodium ion, Na+, also has 10 electrons (why?).

So the 3 species are ISOELECTRONIC; they possess the same number of electrons. 

You should look at the Periodic Table to confirm the electron number. Elements are (usually) electrically neutral (sometimes they can be ionic if they have lost or gained electrons). If there are 10 positively charged protons in the nucleus, there are NECESSARILY 10 electrons associated with the NEUTRAL atom. I don't know WHY I am capitalizing certain WORDS.

You might ask why sodium will form a positive ion, Na+, whereas F forms a negative ion, F−. This again is a Periodic phenomenon, and explicable on the basis of the electronic structure that the Table formalizes.

Neutral metals tend to be electron-rich species, which have 1 or more electrons in a valence shell remote from the nuclear charge. On the other hand, neutral non-metals have valence electrons in incomplete shells, that do not effectively shield the nuclear charge. The demonstrable consequence is that metals lose electrons to form positive ions, whereas non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions.

Explain how a hurricane poses a threat to life and the biosphere. Use complete sentences.
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

A hurricane can cause extreme damage to the biosphere and the geosphere. A hurricane can leave water standing therefore sinking itself into the geosphere. The biosphere can be permanently effected because it can kill, injure, and destroy the biosphere and what the biosphere creates (buildings, parks).

Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of each compound. a. formaldehyde (CH2O(g)) b. heptane (C7H17(l)) c. benze
Yuri [45]

Answer:

a. formaldehyde (CH₂O(g)): CH₂O(g) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

b. heptane (C₇H₁₇(l)): 4C₇H₁₇(l) + 45O₂(g) → 28CO₂(g) + 34H₂O(g)

c. benzene (C6H6(l))​: C₆H₆(l) + 15/2 O₂(g) → 6CO₂(g) + 3 H₂O(g)

Explanation:

In a reaction of combustion, a hydrocarbon compound (composed of C, H and O) reacts with oxygen gas (O₂). The <u>complete</u> combustion of a hydrocarbon - such as formaldehyde, heptane, and benzene - produces carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O).  

Thus, we write the reactants and products for each combustion reaction and then we balance the atoms: C, H, and O.

a. formaldehyde (CH₂O(g)):

CH₂O(g) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

The chemical equation is already balanced with the coefficients 1: we have the same number of C atoms (1), H (2) and O (3) on both sides of the equation.

b. heptane (C₇H₁₇(l)):

C₇H₁₇(l) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Here we have to write a coefficient 28 for CO₂ to balance the C atoms in the products side, and for C₇H₁₇ we write 28/4 = 7. With similar reasoning we found the coefficients for O₂ and H₂O:

4C₇H₁₇(l) + 45O₂(g) → 28CO₂(g) + 34H₂O(g)

c. benzene (C6H6(l))​:

C₆H₆(l) +  O₂(g) → CO₂(g) +  H₂O(g)

First, we write a coefficient of 6 for CO₂ to balance the C atoms. Then, we have to balance H atoms: we write a coefficient 3 in H₂O. Now, we have 12 + 3 = 15 atoms of O on the reactants side. So, we write a half of these number of atoms in the coefficient for O₂: 15/2. We obtain the balanced equation:

C₆H₆(l) + 15/2 O₂(g) → 6CO₂(g) + 3 H₂O(g)
