Answer:
B. They oxidize hydrocarbons to form less toxic gases.
Explanation:
A catalytic converter can be defined as an anti-pollution device containing a catalyst like platinum-iridium, installed in the exhaust chamber of an automobile so as to chemically convert harmful (poisonous) pollutants such as unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (S02), nitrogen oxide (NO) etc., into less harmful, poisonous or toxic chemical compounds.
This ultimately implies that, catalytic converters are typically used for converting harmful gases into less harmful, poisonous or toxic gases and molecules e.g carbon dioxide (C02) and water (H2O). This helps to prevent global warming, enhance the conservation of natural resources, as well as preserve the lives of living organisms and their natural habitat.
<em>Hence, the statement which best describes the use of catalytic converters in automobiles is that they oxidize hydrocarbons to form less toxic gases.</em>
The balanced equation between NaOH and H₂SO₄ is as follows
2NaOH + H₂SO₄ ---> Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of NaOH to H₂SO₄ is 2:1
number of moles of NaOH moles reacted = molarity of NaOH x volume
number of NaOH moles = 0.08964 mol/L x 27.86 x 10⁻³ L = 2.497 x 10⁻³ mol
according to molar ratio of 2:1
2 mol of NaOH reacts with 1 mol of H₂SO₄
therefore 2.497 x 10⁻³ mol of NaOH reacts with - 1/2 x 2.497 x 10⁻³ mol of H₂SO₄
number of moles of H₂SO₄ reacted - 1.249 x 10⁻³ mol
Number of H₂SO₄ moles in 34.53 mL - 1.249 x 10⁻³ mol
number of H₂SO₄ moles in 1000 mL - 1.249 x 10⁻³ mol / 34.53 x 10⁻³ L = 0.03617 mol
molarity of H₂SO₄ is 0.03617 M
(a) Iron (iii) sulphate:
From the periodic table:
mass of iron = 55.845 grams
mass of sulphur = 32.065 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Iron (iii) sulphate has the formula: Fe2(SO4)3
molar mass = 2(55.845) + 3(32.065) + 3(4)(16) = 399.885 grams
(b) Sodium hydroxide:
From the periodic table:
mass of sodium = 22.989 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
Sodium hydroxide has the formula: NaOH
molar mass = 22.989 + 16 + 1 = 39.989 grams
(c) Barium carbonate
From the periodic table:
mass of barium = 137.327 grams
mass of carbon = 12 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Barium carbonate has the formula: BaCO3
molar mass = 137.327 + 12 + 3(16) = 197.327 grams
(d) ammonium nitrate:
From the periodic table:
mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Ammonium nitrate has the formula: NH4NO3
molar mass = 14 + 4(1) + 14 + 3(16) = 80 grams
(e) Lead (iv) oxide
From the periodic table:
mass of lead = 207.2 grams
mass of oxygen = 16 grams
Lead (iv) oxide has the formula: PbO2
molar mass = 207.2 + 2(16) = 239.2 grams
From the above calculations, we can see that:
Iron (iii) sulphate has the greatest mass.
Answer:
Explanation:
The period law state that when elements are listed in order of their atomic numbers, the elements fall into recurring groups, so that there is a recurrence of similar properties at regular intervals.
Na and K in the periodic table fall into the same group, this is because they both have one electrons in their outermost shell.
Na 11 -1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1
K 19 - 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1
They share similar chemical and physical properties. Na and K are very reactive metals, they can loose/donate their outermost electron to non metals in other to attain stable octet state.
The form ionic compound when they react with non metals.
