Answer:

Explanation:

Any system within the Earth system is considered an open system. Because energy flows freely into and out of systems, all systems respond to inputs and, as a result, have outputs.

A synthesis reaction takes place when carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen gas (H2) react to form methanol (CH3OH). How many grams

jek_recluse [69]

The mass of methanol produced is 8.0 g.

We have the masses of two reactants, so this is a limiting reactant problem.

We know that we will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses of the compounds involved.

Step 1. Gather all the information in one place with molar masses above the formulas and everything else below them.

MM: ___28.01 2.016 ___32.04

_______CO + 2H_2 → CH_3OH

Mass/g: 7.0 __2.5

Step 2. Calculate the moles of each reactant

Moles of CO = 7.0 g CO × (1 mol CO/28.01g CO) = 0.250 mol CO

Moles of H_2 =2.5 g H_2 × (1 mol H_2/2.016 g H_2) = 1.24 mol H_2

Step 3. Identify the limiting reactant

Calculate the moles of CH_3OH we can obtain from each reactant.

From CO: Moles of CH_3OH = 0.250 mol CO × (1 mol CH_3OH /1 mol CO)

= 0.250 mol CH_3OH

From H_2: Moles of CH_3OH = 1.24 mol H_2 × (1 mol CH_3OH /2 mol H_2)

= 0.620 mol CH_3OH

CO is the limiting reactant because it gives the smaller amount of CH_3OH.

Step 4. Calculate the mass of CH_3OH

Mass of CH_3OH = 0.250 mol CH_3OH × (32.04 g CH_3OH /1 mol CH_3OH) = 8.0 g CH_3OH

Which group (give the number) is characterized by 5 valence electrons in the configuration s²p3?

Ivahew [28]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Group 5A

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Elements in the periodic table are arranged into columns known as groups and rows known as periods.
Elements in the same group share similar chemical properties.
For example, elements in group 5A have five valence electrons with the most high energy level with a configuration of s²p³.
Elements in group 5A include nitrogen and phosphorus among others.

How many significant figures are there in the following numbers: 10.78, 6.78, 0.78? If these were pH values, to how many signifi

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

10.78 → 4 significant figures, pH = 10.78 → [H⁺] = 1.66ₓ10⁻¹¹ M

6.78 → 3 significant figures, pH = 6.78 → [H⁺] = 1.66ₓ10⁻⁷ M

0.78 → 2 significant figures, pH = 0.78 → [H⁺] = 0.166 M

pH always can be expressed by at least 4 significant figures. The [H⁺], can be expressed by, at least 3 significant figures

Explanation:

Significant figures are the numbers of a measurement that have certainty plus a doubtful number (it is associated with the uncertainty in the measurement). For example, if we measure a paper with a ruler and the ruler measures up to centimeters we can say that the paper is 7.5 cm long, with which we know that the paper is 7 cm + 0.5 cm which we associate with uncertainty. In this case we talk about two significant figures. If the sheet measured 7.57 cm we would already be talking about a more precise measurement and in this case with 3 significant figures.

10.78 → 4 significant figures

6.78 → 3 significant figures

0.78 → 2 significant figures

To determine [H⁺], we apply 10^-pH

10⁻¹⁰°⁷⁸ = 1.66ₓ10⁻¹¹ M

10⁻⁶°⁷⁸ = 1.66ₓ10⁻⁷ M

10⁻⁰°⁷⁸ = 0.166 M
