How many grams of neutral salt will be obtained in the reaction of calcium oxide with 200 cm 3 of phosphoric acid solution whose

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

9.3 g of Ca3(PO4)2

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

3CaO + 2H3PO4 —> Ca3(PO4)2 + 3H2O

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of H3PO4 present in 200 cm³ of 0.3 mol/dm³ phosphoric acid (H3PO4) solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Molarity of H3PO4 = 0.3 mol/dm³

Volume = 200 cm³ = 200 cm³/1000 = 0.2 dm³

Mole of H3PO4 =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

0.3 = mole of H3PO4 /0.2

Cross multiply

Mole of H3PO4 = 0.3 × 0.2

Mole of H3PO4 = 0.06 mole

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of the salt, Ca3(PO4)2, obtained from the reaction. This can be obtained as shown below:

3CaO + 2H3PO4 —> Ca3(PO4)2 + 3H2O

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of H3PO4 reacted to produced 1 mole of Ca3(PO4)2.

Therefore, 0.06 moles of H3PO4 will react to produce = (0.06 × 1)/2 = 0.03 mole of Ca3(PO4)2.

Thus, 0.03 mole of Ca3(PO4)2 is produced from the reaction.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of Ca3(PO4)2 produced as follow:

Mole of Ca3(PO4)2 = 0.03 mole

Molar mass of Ca3(PO4)2 = (40×3) + 2[31 + (16×4)]

= 120 + 2[31 + 64]

= 120 + 2[95]

= 120 + 190

= 310 g/mol

Mass of Ca3(PO4)2 =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

0.03 = mass of Ca3(PO4)2 / 310

Cross multiply

Mass of Ca3(PO4)2 = 0.03 × 310

Mass of Ca3(PO4)2 = 9.3 g

Thus, 9.3 g of Ca3(PO4)2 was obtained from the reaction.

What is the mass of 7.50 moles of magnesium chloride, mgcl2?

Natali5045456 [20]

MgCl2 = 1Mg + 2Cl = 1(24.3) + 2(35.45) = 95.2g/1mole
7.50moles MgCl2 x 95.2g MgCl2 = 714g MgCl2

When a new bond forms in a chemical reaction, what happens?

Kisachek [45]

The answer to this question would be A. Energy is released.

When a chemical bond is a form, the bond will either suck up energy or produce energy. So, to be precise the energy is not always released but also can be absorbed. In this case, the energy released number will be a minus.

Options B and C is definitely wrong since the bond is formed by an electron, it won't affects neutron/proton.
Option D might be true since the product is made of 2 or more atoms then it would seem larger. But the size of the actual atom won't be increased.

Consider the following system at equilibrium:

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

A - Increase (R), Decrease (P), Decrease(q), Triple both (Q) and (R)

B - Increase(P), Increase(q), Decrease (R)

C - Triple (P) and reduce (q) to one third

Explanation:

<em>According to Le Chatelier principle, when a system is in equilibrium and one of the constraints that affect the rate of reaction is applied, the equilibrium will shift so as to annul the effects of the constraint.</em>

P and Q are reactants, an increase in either or both without an equally measurable increase in R (a product) will shift the equilibrium to the right. Also, any decrease in R without a corresponding decrease in either or both of P and Q will shift the equilibrium to the right. Hence, Increase(P), Increase(q), and Decrease (R) will shift the equilibrium to the right.

In the same vein, any increase in R without a corresponding increase in P and Q will shift the equilibrium to the left. The same goes for any decrease in either or both of P and Q without a counter-decrease in R will shift the equilibrium to the left. Hence, Increase (R), Decrease (P), Decrease(q), and Triple both (Q) and (R) will shift the equilibrium to the left.

Any increase or decrease in P with a commensurable decrease or increase in Q (or vice versa) with R remaining constant will create no shift in the equilibrium. Hence, Triple (P) and reduce (q) to one third will create no shift in the equilibrium.

According to the combined gas law, the pressure exerted by a gas is:

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer : The correct option is, (d) inversely proportional to volume and directly proportional to the kelvin temperature

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

$P\propto \frac{1}{V}$

Charles' Law : It is defined as the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.

$V\propto T$

Gay-Lussac's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

$P\propto T$

Combined gas law : It is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{PV}{T}=K$

or,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

From the above information we conclude that the pressure exerted by a gas is inversely proportional to volume and directly proportional to the kelvin temperature.

Hence, the correct option is, (d)
