Chemistry

1 answer:

-Dominant- [34]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

The formula for water is . The oxidation number of hydrogen is +1. Since there are two of them, the hydrogen atoms contribute to a charge of +2. The water molecule is neutral; therefore, the oxygen must have an oxidation number of to balance the charge.

What is the correct ionic formula when mg2+ and p3− react?

Mumz [18]

Answer: Ionic formula will be $Mg_3P_2$ .

Explanation: $Mg^{2+}$ and $P^{3-}$ ions will form a ionic compound. Ionic compounds have both metals and non-metals.

Here $Mg^{2+}$ is a metal and $P^{3-}$ is a non-metal.

The net charge on any compound must be 0.

So we need 2 phosphate ions to balance the charge on $Mg^{2+}$ ions. Similarly we need 3 Magnesium ions to balance the charge on $P^{3-}$ ions.

Criss-crossing the charges, we will get the formula as $Mg_3P_2$

Criss-crossing is shown in the image below.

At a festival, spherical balloons with a radius of 170.cm are to be inflated with hot air and released. The air at the festival

MissTica

Answer:

The correct answer is 1.5 balloons.

Explanation:

Based on the given question, the radius of the spherical balloons is 170 cm. Therefore, the volume of each balloon will be,

= 4/3 × π × (170)³ cm³

= 20.5176 × 10⁶ cm³

= 20.5176 m³

The density of air at 100 degree C s 0.946 Kg m⁻³

The mass of air in each balloon can be calculated by using the formula,

Mass = density × volume

Mass = 0.946 Kg m⁻³ × 20.5176 m³

Mass = 19.410 Kg

The heat energy, that is, required to bring the air from 25 degree C to 100 degree C will be,

= 19.410 × 10³ g × (100 -25) degree C × 1.009 J/g degree C

= 14.68 × 10⁵ J

The concentration of butane given is 1.00 Kg or 1000 g

The molecular weight of butane is 58.12 g per mole

The moles or n can be calculated by using the formula,

n = mass / mol.wt

n = 1000 g/58.12 g/mol = 17.20 mol

The formation of enthalpy of butane at 25 degree C is 125.7 × 10³ J/mol. The evolution of heat energy that take place at the time of burning 17.20 moles of butane is,

= 125.7 × 10³ J/mol × 17.20 mol

= 2.16 × 10⁶ J

The number of balloons that can be inflated with hot air is,

= 2.16 × 10⁶ J / 14.68 × 10⁵ J per each balloon

= 1.5 balloons

Hence, maximum of 1.5 balloons can be inflated.

Acetylene gas (c2h2) reacts with oxygen gas (o2) to produce carbon dioxide (co2) and water vapor (h2o). how many liters of c2h2

MissTica

According to the balanced equation of the reaction:

2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O

So we can mention all as liters,

A) as we see that 2 liters of C2H2 react with 5 liters of oxygen to produce 4 liters of CO4 and 2 liters of H2O

So, when we have 75L of CO2

and when we have 2 L of C2H2 reacts and gives 4 L of CO2

2C2H2 → 4CO2

∴ The volume of C2H2 required is:

= 75L / 2

= 37.5 L

B) and, when we have 75 L of CO2

and 4CO2 → 2H2O

∴ the volume of H2O required is:

= 75 L /2
= 37.5 L

C) and from the balanced equation and by the same way:

when 5 liters O2 reacts to give 4 liters of CO2

and we have 75 L of CO2:

5 O2 → 4 CO2

?? ← 75 L

∴ the volume of O2 required is:

= 75 *(5/4)

= 93.75 L

D) about the using of the number of moles the answer is:

no, there is no need to find the number of moles as we called everything in the balanced equation by liters and use it as a liter unit to get the volume, without the need to get the number of moles.
