Rising air in the tropics is called the Intertropical convergence zone and is a region of rising hot air. As it rises, the moisture in the air eventually reaches its saturation point and the moisture falls out as rain. This is why the tropics are know for their very heavy rainfall periods

During the chemical reaction given below 21.71 grams of each reagent were allowed to react. Determine how many grams of the exce
swat32

Answer: 16.32 g of O_2 as excess reagent are left.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} SO_2=\frac{21.71g}{64g/mol}=0.34mol

\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{21.71g}{32g/mol}=0.68mol

2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)  

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of SO_2 require = 1 mole of O_2

Thus 0.34 moles of SO_2 will require=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.34=0.17moles  of O_2

Thus SO_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and O_2 is the excess reagent.

Moles of O_2 left = (0.68-0.17) mol = 0.51 mol

Mass of O_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.51moles\times 32g/mol=16.32g

Thus 16.32 g of O_2 as excess reagent are left.

What volume of a 1.5 M KOH solution is needed to provide 3.0 moles of KOH?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

  • Volume = <u>2.0 liter</u> of 1.5 M solution of KOH

Explanation:

<u>1) Data:</u>

a) Solution: KOH

b) M = 1.5 M

c) n = 3.0 mol

d) V = ?

<u>2) Formula:</u>

Molarity is a unit of concentration, defined as number of moles of solute per liter of solution:

  • M = n / V in liter

<u>3) Calculations:</u>

  • Solve for n: M = n / V ⇒ V = n / M

  • Substitute values: V = 3.0 mol / 1.5 M = 2.0 liter

You must use 2 significant figures in your answer: <u>2.0 liter.</u>

An unknown metal absorbs 61 J of heat, and its temperature increases by 29∘C. What is the heat capacity of the metal?
aniked [119]

Answer:

2.103 J/C

Explanation:

Quantity of heat = Heat Capacity * Temperature change

Heat Capacity = Quantity of heat / Temperature Change

Heat Capacity = 61/29

Heat Capacity = 2.103 J/C

Which of the following happens when solid sodium chloride dissolves in water?A.The attractive forces between water and the sodiu
grin007 [14]

Answer: option D. The attractive forces between the sodium and chloride ions are overcome by the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions.

Explanation:

<em>Solid sodium chloride</em> (NaCl) is a ionic compound formed by ionic bonds between by the positive, metallic cations of sodium atom, Na⁺, and the negative, non-meatllic anions of chlorine atom, Cl⁻ (chloride).

Ionic bonds, then, are the electrostatic attracion between oppositely charged particles (cations and anions).

<em />

<em>When solid sodium chloride dissolves in water</em>, the ions (cations and anions) are separated in the solvent (water) due to the superior attracitve forces between such ions and the polar water molecules.

<em>Water</em> (H₂O) is a molecule, formed by polar covalent bonds between two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

The polarity of water molecule is due to the fact that oxygen atoms are more electronegative than hydrogen atoms, which cause that the electron density is closer to oxygen nuclei than to hydrogen nuclei. This asymmetry in the electron density conferes a partial positive charge over each hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge over the oxygen atoms.

Thus, the positively charged hydrogen atoms attract and surround the negative chloride (Cl⁻) anions, while the negatively charged oxygen atoms attract and surround the positive sodium (Na⁺) cations. It is only because the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions are stronger than the attractive forces between the sodiium and chloride ions that such ions may be kept separated in the solution. This process is called solvation and the ions are said to be solvated by the water molecules.

(a) a 0.2 m potassium hydroxide solution is titrated with a 0.1 m nitric acid solution. (i) balanced equation: (ii)what would be
Stells [14]

\text{KOH} (aq) + \text{HNO}_3 (aq) \to \text{KNO}_3 (aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (l)

The solution shall contain only \text{KNO}_3 (aq) (and water) at the equivalence point. Both potassium hydroxide and nitric acid exist as strong electrolytes. As a result,  \text{KNO}_3 (aq), the salt derived from a reaction between the two species would undergo hydrolysis of a negligible extent. This neutralization reaction therefore be neutral at the equilibrium point.

The question states that the solution is "titrated with a ... nitric acid solution" indicating that \text{HNO}_3 is added to the initially-basic solution. PH value of the solution would keep decreasing as the volume of the acid added increases. The final solution would be acidic as it contains not only water and \text{KNO}_3 (aq), but some \text{HNO}_3 as well. Bromothymol blue would therefore demonstrates a yellow color, the color it present in an acidic solution, at the end of the titration.
