(a) How much negative charge is on each oxygen of the carbonate ion?

1 answer:

6 0

The chemical formula of a carbonate ion is CO3^2-. It is an AX3 system which means it take the trigonal planar shape. There would be two single bonds of C-O and one double bond C-O in order for C to agree with the octet rule. Two minus charges are equally distributed to the three oxygen atoms so that each oxygen of the carbonate ion would have a charge of negative 2/3.

Answer:

The mass of Na₂O that can be produced by the chemical reaction of 4.0 grams of sodium with excess oxygen in the reaction is 5.39 grams.

Explanation:

You know the balanced reaction:

4 NA + O₂ ⟶ 2 Na₂O

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction) react and are produced:

Na: 4 moles
O₂: 1 mole
Na₂O: 2 moles

Being:

Na: 23 g/ole
O: 16 g/mole

the molar mass of the compounds participating in the reaction is:

Na: 23 g/mole
O₂: 2*16 g/mole= 32 g/mole
Na₂O: 2*23 g/mole +16 g/mole= 62 g/mole

Then by stoichiometry of the reaction they react and are produced:

Na: 4 moles* 23 g/mole= 92 g
O₂: 1 mole*32 g/mole= 32 g
Na₂O: 2 moles* 62 g/mole= 124 g

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if 92 grams of Na produce 124 grams of Na₂O, 4 grams of Na, how much mass of Na₂O does it produce?

$massofNa_{2}O =\frac{4 grams of Na*124 gramsofNa_{2}O }{92 grams of Na}$

mass of Na₂O=5.39 g

The mass of Na₂O that can be produced by the chemical reaction of 4.0 grams of sodium with excess oxygen in the reaction is 5.39 grams.

How many molecules are there in 5.0g of C2H5OH?

Vilka [71]

About 6.5x10^22 molecules. (5g C2H5OH)x(1 mol C2H5OH/46g C2H5OH)x(6.02x10^23 molecules C2H5OH/1 mol C2H5OH)=(3.01E24)/46=6.5x10^22. Let me know if this helped!

In the important industrial process for producing ammonia (the Haber Process), the overall reaction is:

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Here we have to use stoichiometry.

First of all, we have to calculate the mass of 100% of yield:

1.7 g ------- 98%

X -------- 100%

X = 1.73 g (approximately)

Second, we have to calculate the mass of N2 that is necessary to react to produce the mass of 1.73g of NH3. To do that, we have to use the Molar mass of N2 and NH3 and don't forget the stoichiometric relationship between them.

Molar Mass N2 : 14x2 = 28 g/mol

Molar Mass NH3: 14 + 3 = 17 g/mol

28g (N2) ------- 17x2 (NH3)

X ------------ 1.73 g

X = 1.42 g (approximately)
