Answer:

Zn2+ is colourless

Explanation:

We know that transition metal salts are usually coloured due to the possibility of d-d transition.

This d-d transition can only occur when there are vacant d-orbitals. The electronic configuration [Ar] 4s23d8 suggests the presence of vacant d-orbitals and the possibility of the compounds of Zn2+ being coloured.

However, the absence of colours in Zn2+ compounds shows that there is no d-d transition(electronic) spectra observed for Zn2+ because the d orbitals are completely filled. This means that the correct electronic configuration of the ion is [Ar] 3d10.

10 grams of sodium hydroxide, NaOH, is dissolved in 0.25 liters of solution. Determine the molarity (M)
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

1M

Explanation:

The molarity of a substance is defined as the number of moles of the substance divided by how many liters the solution is. NaOH has a molar mass of about 40 grams, meaning that 10 grams of it would be 0.25 moles. 0.25/0.25= a molarity of 1.

Hope this helps!

What the volume is.
alekssr [168]

The molar mass of NO₂ is 46.0 g/mol

The molar mass of Pb (NO₃)₂ is 331.2 g/mol

First there is a need to find the number of moles of NO₂ via the stoichiometry of reaction:

2Pb(NO₃)₂ → 2PbO (s) + 4NO₂ (g) + 02 (g)

2 × 331.2 g = 4 × 46.0 g

16.87 g = x (mass of NO₂)

mass of NO₂ = 16.87 × 4 × 46 / 2 × 331.2

mass of NO₂ = 3104.08 / 662.4

mass of NO₂ = 4.686 g of NO₂

Now the number of moles are:

1 mole NO₂ = 46.0 g

x moles of NO₂ = 4.686 g

4.686 × 1 / 46.0 = 0.101 moles of NO₂

1 mole = 22.4 L (at STP)

0.101 moles of NO₂ = 0.101 × 22.4 / 1

= 2.26 L

How many grams of water are made from the reaction of 16.0 grams of o2? given the reaction: 2h2 o2 --> 2h2o
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

18.0 g H₂O

Explanation:

To find the mass of water (H₂O), you need to (1) convert grams O₂ to moles O₂ (via the molar mass), then (2) convert moles O₂ to moles H₂O (via mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients), and then (3) convert moles H₂O to grams H₂O (via the molar mass). It is important to arrange the conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to match the sig figs of the given value.

Molar Mass (O₂): 2(15.998 g/mol)

Molar Mass (O₂): 31.996 g/mol

Molar Mass (H₂O): 2(1.008 g/mol) + 15.998 g/mol

Molar Mass (H₂O): 18.014 g/mol

2 H₂ + 1 O₂ -----> 2 H₂O

16.0 g O₂          1 mole            2 moles H₂O         18.014 g
---------------  x  ----------------  x  ---------------------  x  -----------------  = 18.0 g H₂O
                        31.996 g             1 mole O₂             1 mole

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of butane is: 2C2H2 + 5O2 CO2 + 2H2O 2CH4 + 5O2 2CO2 + 4H2O 2C4H10 + 13O2 8CO2
SCORPION-xisa [38]
Butane is C₄H₁₀.

C_4H_{10} + O_2 \to CO_2 + H_2O \\ \\
\hbox{balance carbon and hydrogen on the right-hand side:} \\
C_4 H_{10} + O_2 \to 4 \ CO_2 + 5 \ H_2O \\ \\
\hbox{balance oxygen on the left-hand side:} \\
C_4 H_{10} + \frac{13}{2} \ O_2 \to 4 \ CO_2 + 5 \ H_2O \\ \\
\hbox{multiply by 2 to get rid of the fraction:} \\
2 \ C_4H_{10} + 13 \ O_2 \to 8 \ CO_2 + 10 \ H_2O

The balanced equation is 2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ <span>→</span> 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O.
