Answer: 1. $2Al+3CuCl_2\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+3Cu$

2. 3 moles of $CuCl_2$ : 2 moles of $Al$

3. 0.33 moles of $CuCl_2$ : 0.92 moles of $Al$

4. $CuCl_2$ is the limiting reagent and $Al$ is the excess reagent.

5. Theoretical yield of $AlCl_3$ is 29.3 g

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

$\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$

$\text{Moles of} Al=\frac{25.0g}{27g/mol}=0.92moles$

$\text{Moles of} CuCl_2=\frac{45.0g}{134g/mol}=0.33moles$

The balanced chemical equation is:

$2Al+3CuCl_2\rightarrow 2AlCl_3+3Cu$

According to stoichiometry :

3 moles of $CuCl_2$ require = 2 moles of $Al$

Thus 0.33 moles of $CuCl_2$ will require= $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.33=0.22moles$ of $Al$

Thus $CuCl_2$ is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and $Al$ is the excess reagent.

As 3 moles of $CuCl_2$ give = 2 moles of $AlCl_3$

Thus 0.33 moles of $CuCl_2$ give = $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.33=0.22moles$ of $AlCl_3$

Theoretical yield of $AlCl_3=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.22moles\times 133.34g/mol=29.3$

Thus 29.3 g of aluminium chloride is formed.

Suppose a compound is involved in three different reactions denoted R1, R2, and R3. Tripling the concentration of this reactant

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The order of reaction is as follows, R1 = 1; R2 = 2; R3 = 0

Explanation:

The rate of a chemical reaction is the number of moles of reactants consumed per unit time or the number of moles of products formed per unit. the rate of a chemical reaction is affected by the concentration of reactants

The relationship between the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentration of its reactants is given by the rate law or equation.

Generally, the rate equation is given as;

Rate = k[A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ..., where k = rate constant which is independent of concentration of the reactants, [A] = concentration of reactant A, a = order of reaction A, [B] = concentration of reaction B, b = order of reaction B.

For the given reactions R1, R2 and R3

For R1; rate = 3, Concentration = 3[A]

3 = k[A]3ˣ

3¹ = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 1

For R2; rate = 9, Concentration = 3[A]

9 = k[A]3ˣ

3² = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 2

For R1; rate = 1, Concentration = 3[A]

1 = k[A]3ˣ

3⁰ = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 0

Therefore, the order of reaction is as follows, R1 = 1; R2 = 2; R3 = 0

Which of the following best describes the difference in bonding between two hydrogen atoms and two carbon atoms?

valentinak56 [21]

Answer :

2. Hydrogen forms bonds through the overlap of 1s atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons between atoms. Carbon forms bonds through the overlapping of sp hybrid atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons between carbon atoms.

Explanation:

The H-H bond is formed by the overlap of two 1s orbitals and the sharing of electrons between the two atoms.

A carbon atom must use the overlap of hybridized atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons to bond with another carbon atoms.

1. is <em>wrong</em> because H can use only its <em>1s orbital</em> for bonding.

3. is <em>wrong</em> because C must <em>share electrons</em> to form a carbon-carbon bond.

4. is <em>wrong</em> because <em>C does NOT use overlapping of 2s orbitals</em> for bonding. It uses the overlap of hybridized orbitals.

5. is <em>wrong</em> because H must <em>share electrons</em> to form an H-H bond.

8.7 Two products are formed in the following reaction in a 50:50 mixture. Would the resulting solution be optically active

k0ka [10]

Answer:

Yes. The solution would be optically active.

Explanation:

Diastereomer are defined as the image that is non mirror and non -identical. It is made up of two stereoisomers. They are formed when the two stereoisomers or more than two stereoisomers of the compound have the same configuration at the equivalent stereocenters.

In the given context, as the product given is a diastereomeric mixture, the product would have an optical activity in total.

So the answer is Yes.

Draw the Lewis structure for methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) in the box below. Then predict which would have the higher boiling

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Ethane would have a higher boiling point.

Explanation:

In this case, for the lewis structures, we have to keep in mind that all atoms must have <u>8 electrons</u> (except hydrogen). Additionally, each carbon would have <u>4 valence electrons</u>, with this in mind, for methane we have to put the hydrogens around the carbon, and with this structure, we will have 8 electrons for the carbon. In ethane, we will have a bond between the carbons, therefore we have to put three hydrogens around each carbon to obtain 8 electrons for each carbon.

Now, the main difference between methane and ethane is an <u>additional carbon</u>. In ethane, we have an additional carbon, therefore due to this additional carbon, we will have <u>more area of interaction</u> for ethane. If we have more area of interaction we have to give <u>more energy</u> to the molecule to convert from liquid to gas, so, the ethane will have a higher boiling point.

I hope it helps!
