When water is ionized, it can act as either an acid or a base. a. True b. False?

1 answer:

5 0

True...
that's where brownsted- lowry theory comes into consideration ,where the idea of conjugate base and acid pair comes in..
eg when water dissociates it serves as both the acid and base
H20[acid] + H20[base] -> H30+ [base] + 0H- [acid]

HCHO2 + NaOH = NaCHO2 + H2O complete ionic

Llana [10]

Answer:

HCHO₂(aq) + Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) ⟶ Na⁺(aq) + CHO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(ℓ)

Explanation:

An ionic equation uses the symbols (aq) [aqueous] to indicate molecules and ions that are soluble in water, (s) [solid] to indicate insoluble solids, and (ℓ) to indicate substances (usually water) in the liquid state.

In this reaction, aqueous sodium hydroxide reacts with aqueous formic acid to form sodium formate and water.

1. Molecular equation

HCHO₂(aq) + NaOH(aq) ⟶ NaCHO₂(aq) + H₂O(ℓ)

2. Ionic equation

Sodium hydroxide and sodium formate are soluble ionic compounds, so we write them as hydrated ions.

HCHO₂(aq) + Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) ⟶ Na⁺(aq) + CHO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(ℓ)

A mixture contains only NaCl and Al2(SO4)3. A 1.45-g sample of the mixture is dissolved in water, and an ex- cess of NaOH is add

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The mass percent of aluminum sulfate in the sample is 16.18%.

Explanation:

Mass of the sample = 1.45 g

$Al_2SO_3+6NaOH\rightarrow 2Al(OH)_3+3Na_2SO_4$

Mass of the precipitate = 0.107 g

Moles of aluminum hydroxide = $\frac{0.107 g}{78 g/mol}=0.001372 mol$

According to reaction, 2 moles of aluminum hydroxide is obtained from 1 mole of aluminum sulfate .

Then 0.001372 moles of aluminum hydroxide will be obtained from:

$\frac{1}{2}\times 0.001372 mol=0.000686 mol$

Mass of 0.000686 moles of aluminum sulfate :

= 0.000686 mol × 342 g/mol = 0.2346 g

The mass percent of aluminum sulfate in the sample:

$=\frac{ 0.2346 g}{1.45g}\times 100=16.18\%$

Consider the reaction of ruthenium(III) iodide with carbon dioxide and silver. RuI3 (s) 5CO (g) 3Ag (s) Ru(CO)5 (s) 3AgI (s) Det

mixer [17]

Answer:

71.6 g of Ru(CO)₅ is the maximum mass that can be formed.

The limiting reactant is Ag

Explanation:

The reaction is:

RuI₃ (s) + 5CO (g) + 3Ag (s) → Ru(CO)₅ (s) + 3AgI (s)

Firstly we determine the moles of each reactant:

169 g . 1mol /481.77g = 0.351 moles of RuI₃

58g . 1mol /28g = 2.07 moles of CO

96.2g . 1mol/ 107.87g = 0.892 moles

Certainly, the excess reactant is CO, therefore, the limiting would be Ag or RuI₃.

3 moles of Ag react to 1 mol of RuI₃

Then 0.892 moles of Ag may react to (0.892 . 1) /3 = 0.297 moles

We have 0.351 moles of iodide and we need 0.297 moles, so this is an excess. In conclussion, Silver (Ag) is the limiting.

1 mol of RuI₃ react to 3 moles of Ag

Then, 0.351 moles of RuI₃ may react to (0.351 . 3) /1 = 1.053 moles

It's ok, because we do not have enough Ag. We only have 0.892 moles and we need 1.053.

5 moles of CO react to 3 moles of Ag

Then, 2.07 moles of CO may react to (2.07 . 3) /5 = 1.242 moles of Ag.

This calculate confirms the theory.

Now, we determine the maximum mass of Ru(CO)₅

3 moles of of Ag can produce 1 mol of Ru(CO)₅

Then 0.892 moles may produce (0.892 . 1) /3 = 0.297 moles

We convert moles to mass → 0.297 mol . 241.07g /mol = 71.6 g
