Answer:

A. 0.5 mole of Ca(OH)₂.

B. 4.37 moles of H₂O.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

CaC₂ + 2H₂O —> C₂H₂ + Ca(OH)₂

Next, we shall determine the mass of CaC₂ that reacted and the mass of C₂H₂ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of CaC₂ = 40 + (12×2)

= 40 + 24

= 64 g/mol

Mass of CaC₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 64 = 64 g

Molar mass of C₂H₂ = (12×2) + (2×1)

= 24 + 2

= 26 g/mol

Mass of C₂H₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 26 = 26 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

64 g of CaC₂ reacted with 2 moles of H₂O to produce 26 g of C₂H₂ and 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂.

A. Determination of the number of mole of Ca(OH)₂ produced by the reaction of 32.0 g of CaC₂.

From the balanced equation above,

64 g of CaC₂ reacted to produce 1 mole of Ca(OH)₂.

Therefore, 32 g of CaC₂ will react to produce = (32 × 1)/64 = 0.5 mole of Ca(OH)₂.

Thus, 0.5 mole of Ca(OH)₂ were obtained from the reaction.

B. Determination of the number of mole of H₂O needed to produce 56.8 g C₂H₂.

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of H₂O reacted to produce 26 g of C₂H₂.

Therefore, Xmol of H₂O will react to produce 56.8 g C₂H₂ i.e

Xmol of H₂O = (2 × 56.8)/26

Xmol of H₂O = 4.37 moles

Thus, 4.37 moles of H₂O is needed for the reaction.

Vladimir [108]

Hydrogenated vegetable oil is a preservative, thus, the correct option is D. Hydrogenated vegetable oil are used by food industries to prevent fat rancidity in order to give their product a longer shelf life. Hydrogenated oils are very good preservatives because all the enzymatic activities in the oil has been neutralized during the hydrogenating process.

What is the cell potential for the reaction mg(s+fe2+(aq?mg2+(aq+fe(s at 77 ?c when [fe2+]= 3.40 m and [mg2+]= 0.210 m . express

Galina-37 [17]

First, you need to calculate the standard cell potential using standard reduction potential from a textbook or online. Since Mg becomes Mg+2, magnesium is being oxidized because it is losing electrons, you need to flip its potential

Fe+2 + 2e- --> Fe potential= -0.44
Mg+2 + 2e- --> Mg potential= -2.37

Cell potential= (-0.44) + (+2.37)= 1.93 V

Now, you need to use Nernst formula to get the answer. I have attached a PDF with the work.

The reaction of nitrogen gas and oxygen gas to form nitrogen monoxide gas is shown below. If the measured concentrations of all

Anettt [7]

Answer:

The forward reaction is occurring at a faster rate than the reverse reaction.

Explanation:

Reaction quotient (Q) of the given reaction is -

$Q=\frac{[NO]^{2}}{[N_{2}][O_{2}]}$

where [NO], $[N_{2}]$ and $[O_{2}]$ represents concentrations of respective species at a certain time.

Here $[N_{2}]$ = 0.80 M, $[O_{2}]$ = 0.050 M and [NO] = 0.10 M

So, $Q=\frac{(0.10)^{2}}{(0.80)\times (0.050)}=2$

Hence $Q> K$

It means that forward reaction is faster than reverse reaction at that point. Because then only concentration of NO is higher than concentrations of $[N_{2}]$ and $[O_{2}]$ which makes Q higher than K.
