Answer:

Likely to gain electrons

Explanation:

The atom shown is likely to gain additional electrons to complete its electronic configuration.

Since this is a neutral specie, the number of protons and electrons are the same.
The atom has 16 electrons
the number of valence electrons is 6
If the atom gains two additional electrons, the octet configuration is attained
Also, the atom can lose 6 electrons to become an octet

The atom will prefer to gain additional 2 electrons to give an octet configuration.

The average propane cylinder for a residential grill holds approximately 18 kg of propane. How much energy (in kJ) is released b

Combustion is a chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant, oxygen, to give off combustion products and heat. Complete combustion results when all of the fuel is consumed to form carbon dioxide and water, as in the case of a hydrocarbon fuel. Incomplete combustion results when insufficient oxygen reacts with the fuel, forming soot and carbon monoxide.

The complete combustion of propane proceeds through the following reaction:
$C_{3} H_{8}$ + $5O_{2}$ --> $3CO_{2}$ + $4H_{2}O$

Combustion is an exothermic reaction, which means that it gives off heat as the reaction proceeds. For the complete combustion of propane, the heat of combustion is (-)2220 kJ/mole, where the minus sign indicates that the reaction is exothermic.

The molar mass of propane is 44.1 grams/mole. Using this value, the number of moles propane to be burned can be determined from the mass of propane given. Afterwards, this number of moles is multiplied by the heat of combustion to give the total heat produced from the reaction of the given mass of propane.

14.50 kg propane x 1000 g x 1 mole propane x 2220 kJ 
1 kg 44.1 g 1 mole

= 729,931.97 kJ

When it comes to physical changes like phase changes, there are two types of heat energy: sensible heat and latent heat. Sensible heat is the heat absorbed/released when you heat the substance but it doesn't change phase. An example would be heating lukewarm water. The substance is liquid all throughout. Latent heat, on the other hand, is the heat absorbed/released when there is a phase change. An example would be boiling water, because it changes liquid to vapor.

Hence, for freezing liquid, you use the latent heat, specifically the heat of fusion. The answer should be

2.5 g * (1 mol/18.02 g) * 6.03 kJ/mol = 0.84 kJ/mol

The answer is not in the choices. You only use Hvap if you boil water.

The rate of effusion of an unknown gas was measured and found to be 11.9 mL/min. Under identical conditions, the rate of effusio

iren2701 [21]

Answer : The correct option is, (B) $CO_2$

Solution :

According to the Graham's law, the rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of gas.

$R\propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}$

or,

$(\frac{R_1}{R_2})=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}$ ..........(1)

where,

$R_1$ = rate of effusion of unknown gas = $11.9\text{ mL }min^{-1}$

$R_2$ = rate of effusion of oxygen gas = $14.0\text{ mL }min^{-1}$

$M_1$ = molar mass of unknown gas = ?

$M_2$ = molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:

$(\frac{11.9\text{ mL }min^{-1}}{14.0\text{ mL }min^{-1}})=\sqrt{\frac{32g/mole}{M_1}}$

$M_1=44.2g/mole$

The unknown gas could be carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ that has approximately 44 g/mole of molar mass.

Thus, the unknown gas could be carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$

How much energy (in Joules) would it take to warm 3.11 grams of gold by 7.7 oC

Reptile [31]

Answer:

It would take 3.11 J to warm 3.11 grams of gold

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of gold = 3.11 grams

Temperature rise = 7.7 °C

Specific heat capacity of gold = 0.130 J/g°C

Step 2: Calculate the amount of energy

Q = m*c*ΔT

⇒ Q = the energy required (in Joules) = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ m = the mass of gold = 3.11 grams

⇒ c = the specific heat of gold = 0.130 J/g°C

⇒ ΔT = The temperature rise = 7.7 °C

Q = 3.11 g * 0.130 J/g°C * 7.7 °C

Q = 3.11 J

It would take 3.11 J to warm 3.11 grams of gold

A 50.0-ml sample of 0.50 m hcl is titrated with 0.50 m naoh. what is the ph of the solution after 28.0 ml of naoh have been adde

hram777 [196]

The pH of the solution after addition of 28 mL of NaOH is added to HCl is $\boxed{{\text{0}}{\text{.85}}}$ .

Further Explanation:

The proportion of substance in the mixture is called concentration. The most commonly used concentration terms are as follows:

1. Molarity (M)

2. Molality (m)

3. Mole fraction (X)

4. Parts per million (ppm)

5. Mass percent ((w/w) %)

6. Volume percent ((v/v) %)

Molarity is a concentration term that is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved in one litre of the solution. It is denoted by M and its unit is mol/L.

The formula to calculate the molarity of the solution is as follows:

${\text{Molarity of solution}}=\dfrac{{{\text{Moles}}\;{\text{of}}\;{\text{solute}}}}{{{\text{Volume }}\left({\text{L}} \riht){\text{ of solution}}}}$

......(1)

Rearrange equation (1) to calculate the moles of solute.

${\text{Moles}}\;{\text{of}}\;{\text{solute}}=\left( {{\text{Molarity of solution}}}\right)\left({{\text{Volume of solution}}}\right)$ ......(2)

Substitute 0.50 M for the molarity of solution and 50 mL for the volume of solution in equation (2) to calculate the moles of HCl.

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Moles}}\;{\text{of}}\;{\text{HCl}}&= \left({{\text{0}}{\text{.50 M}}}\right)\left( {{\text{50 mL}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{{\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{ - 3}}{\text{ L}}}}{{{\text{1 mL}}}}} \right)\\&= 0.02{\text{5 mol}}\\\end{aligned}$

Substitute 0.50 M for the molarity of solution and 28 mL for the volume of solution in equation (2) to calculate the moles of NaOH.

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Moles}}\;{\text{of}}\;{\text{NaOH}}&=\left( {{\text{0}}{\text{.50 M}}} \right)\left( {{\text{28 mL}}} \right)\left( {\frac{{{\text{1}}{{\text{0}}^{ - 3}}{\text{ L}}}}{{{\text{1 mL}}}}}\right)\\&= 0.014{\text{ mol}}\\\end{aligned}$

The reaction between HCl and NaOH occurs as follows:

${\text{NaOH}} + {\text{HCl}} \to {\text{NaCl}} + {{\text{H}}_2}{\text{O}}$

The balanced chemical reaction indicates that one mole of NaOH reacts with one mole of HCl. So the amount of remaining HCl can be calculated as follows:

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Amount of HCl remaining}}&= 0.02{\text{5 mol}} - 0.01{\text{4 mol}}\\&= {\text{0}}{\text{.011 mol}} \\\end{aligned}$

The volume after the addition of NaOH can be calculated as follows:

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Volume of solution}} &= {\text{50 mL}} + {\text{28 mL}}\\&= {\text{78 mL}}\\\end{aligned}$

Substitute 0.011 mol for the amount of solute and 78 mL for the volume of solution in equation (1) to calculate the molarity of new HCl solution.

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Molarity of new HCl solution}}&= \left({{\text{0}}{\text{.011 mol}}} \right)\left( {\frac{1}{{{\text{78 mL}}}}}\right)\left( {\frac{{{\text{1 mL}}}}{{{{10}^{ - 3}}\;{\text{L}}}}} \right)\\&= 0.1410{\text{2 M}}\\&\approx {\text{0}}{\text{.141 M}}\\\end{aligned}$

pH:

The acidic strength of an acid can be determined by pH value. The negative logarithm of hydronium ion concentration is defined as pH of the solution. Lower the pH value of an acid, the stronger will be the acid. Acidic solutions are likely to have pH less than 7. Basic or alkaline solutions have pH more than 7. Neutral solutions have pH equal to 7.

The formula to calculate pH of an acid is as follows:

${\text{pH}}=- {\text{log}}\left[ {{{\text{H}}^ + }}\right]$ ......(3)

Here,

$\left[{{{\text{H}}^ + }}\right]$ is hydrogen ion concentration.

HCl is a strong acid so it dissociates completely. So the concentration of also becomes 0.141 M.

Substitute 0.141 M for $\left[{{{\text{H}}^ + }}\right]$ in equation (3).

$\begin{aligned}{\text{pH}}&= - {\text{log}}\left({0.141} \right)\\&=0.85\\\end{aligned}$

So the pH of the solution is 0.85.
