A 0.6467-g portion of manganese dioxide was added to an acidic solution in which 1.1701 g of a chloride-containing sample was di

ssolved. Evolution of chlorine took place as a consequence of the following reaction: After the reaction was complete, the excess was collected by filtration, washed, and weighed, and 0.3104 g was recovered. Express the results of this analysis in terms of percent aluminum chloride.

Answer:

29.39% of AlCl₃ in the sample

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

MnO₂(s) + 2Cl⁻ + 4H⁺ → Mn²⁺ + Cl₂(g) + 2H₂O

We can find the amount of chloride in solution with the amount of MnO₂ that reacted as follows:

<em>Initial mass MnO₂ = 0.6467g</em>

<em>Recovered mass = 0.3104g</em>

Mass that reacted = 0.6467g - 0.3104g = 0.3363g

<em>Moles MnO₂ -Molar mass: 86.9368g/mol-:</em>

0.3363g * (1mol / 86.9368g) = 3.868x10⁻³ moles MnO₂

<em>Moles Cl⁻:</em>

3.868x10⁻³ moles MnO₂ * (2mol Cl⁻ / 1mol MnO₂) = 7.737x10⁻³ moles Cl⁻

<em>Moles of AlCl₃ and mass -Molar mass AlCl₃: 133.34g/mol-:</em>

7.737x10⁻³ moles Cl⁻ * (1mol AlCl₃ / 3mol Cl⁻) = 2.579x10⁻³ moles AlCl₃

2.579x10⁻³ moles AlCl₃ * (133.34g / mol) =

<em>0.3439g of AlCl₃</em> are present in the sample.

The percent is:

0.3439g of AlCl₃ / 1.1701g * 100 =

<h3>29.39% of AlCl₃ in the sample</h3>

What is another name for a condensation reaction?
defon
The other name for a condensation reaction would be dehydration reaction. This reaction happens when two molecules or compounds react forming a larger molecule and a small H2O molecule. From the name itself, water should be produced.

Four acids are analyzed and there KA values are determined which of the following values represents the strongest acid
Advocard [28]

x= the coefficients in front of the substance in the balanced chemical equation  

[H+]= the concentration of hydrogen ions  

[A-]= the concentration of the other ion that broke off from the H+  

[HA]= the un-disassociated acid concentration  

The higher the Ka value, the greater amount of disassociation of the reactants into products. As for acids, they will break down to form H+ ions. The more the H+ ions, the stronger acidity of the solution. Thus since A has the highest Ka value, that represents the strongest acid.  

You can determine the Ka value from a number of ways. If equilibrium concentrations are given of a certain acid solution, you can find the proportion of the concentration of ions to the concentration of the remaining HA molecules, using the equation above. Also, pH and KpH can be used in a number of ways. This gets more complicated and depends on the situation, and requires more advanced equations.


Hope this helped a little, its obviously not my best work
