Solutions of mercury (I) nitrate and potassium bromide are mixed

Chemistry

With that informatio you can:

1) Write the chemical equation
2) Balance the chemical equation
3) State the molar ratios
4) Predict if precipitation occurs.

I will do all four, for you:

1) Chemical equation:

mercury(I) nitrate  potassium bromide    mercury(I) bromide  potassium nitrate
<span>Hg2(NO3)2             +        KBr                   → Hg2Br2          +      KNO<span>3

2) Balanced chemical equation
</span></span>
<span>Hg2(NO3)2 + 2KBr → Hg2Br2 + 2KNO<span>3

3) Molar ratios or proportions:

1 mol </span></span><span>Hg2(NO3)2 : 2 mol KBr : 1 mol Hg2Br2 : 2 mol KNO<span>3

4) Prediction of precipitation.

You can use the solubility rules or a table of solubilities. I found in a table of solutiblities that mercury(I) bromide is insoluble and potassium bromide is soluble, Then you can predict that the precipitation of mercury(I) bromide will occur.

A compound has an empirical formula of CH2 and a molar mass of 56 g. What is its molecular formula?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

C4H8

Explanation:

First find the molar mass of CH2;

2(1.01) + 1(12.01) = 14.03g

Now divide the molar mass of the compound by the molar mass of CH2;

56g/14.03g = 3.9914 Round to nearest whole number = 4

Multiply CH2 by 4 to get the molecular formula;

CH2* 4 = C4H8

describe how the discoveries of scientist over time have contributed to our current understanding of atom
Olenka [21]

Answer:

In 1897, the British physicist J. J. Thomson (1856–1940) proved that atoms were not the most basic form of matter. He demonstrated that cathode rays could be deflected, or bent, by magnetic or electric fields, which indicated that cathode rays consist of charged particles (Figure  2.2.2 ). More important, by measuring the extent of the deflection of the cathode rays in magnetic or electric fields of various strengths, Thomson was able to calculate the mass-to-charge ratio of the particles. These particles were emitted by the negatively charged cathode and repelled by the negative terminal of an electric field. Because like charges repel each other and opposite charges attract, Thomson concluded that the particles had a net negative charge; these particles are now called electrons. Most relevant to the field of chemistry, Thomson found that the mass-to-charge ratio of cathode rays is independent of the nature of the metal electrodes or the gas, which suggested that electrons were fundamental components of all atoms.

Q2.  0.254 g of KHP (204 g/mol) titrated against 20.0 mL of unknown NaOH (40.0 g/mol) solution to get the end point of phenolpht
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

<u>Mass concentration (g/L) </u><u><em>= 2.49g/L.</em></u>

Explanation:

No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

= \frac{0.254}{204} = 0.001245 moles

Concentration of KHP (C1) in litres = n/v

= \frac{0.001245}{0.02} = 0.062 mol/L

We know that:

C_{1} V_{1} = C_{2} V_{2}

where c1v1 and c2v2 are the products of concentration and volumes of KHP and NaOH respectively.

Since mole ratio is 1 : 1.

1 mole of NaOH - 40g

0.001245 mole of NaOH = 40 × 0.001245 = 0.0498g

⇒0.0498g of NaOH was used during the titration

<u><em>∴Mass concentration (g/L) = 0.0498g ÷ 0.02L</em></u>

<u><em>= 2.49g/L.</em></u>

Assume the atmospheric pressure is 1 atm but the actual pressure is higher than 1 atm how will this error affect the calculated
ozzi
Answer : When we consider the atmospheric pressure as 1 atm then according to the ideal gas equation we can find out the molar mass of any unknown by this formula ;

PV=nRT

so if the pressure increases than 1 atm then we can see from the above equation that it will result in greater value for the number of moles (n) in the above equation.

While n = m/M where m is mass of the unknown in g and M is molecular mass.

So, if pressure is higher then it will result in molar mass of unknown which is much smaller.

Where do the OH- ions go as additional acid is added?
qwelly [4]
The result when the OH- ions go as additional acid is added is that t<span>hey remain in solution but change concentration. </span>This is because  when you add more acid to hydroxide, it will change its concentration due to the acidity added.
