Answer:

The rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 2.46 mol/min

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is given below:

2 K₂Cr₂O₇ + 8 H₂SO₄ + 3 C₂H₆O → 2 Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + 2 K₂SO₄ + 11 H₂O

From the equation of the reaction, 3 moles of C₂H₆O is used when 2 moles of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ are produced, therefore, the mole ratio of C₂H₆O to Cr₂(SO₄)₃ is 3:2.

The rate of appearance of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ in that particular moment is given 1.64 mol/min. This would than means that C₂H₆O must be used up at a rate which is approximately equal to their mole ratios. Thus,  the rate of of the disappearance of C₂H₆O can be calculated from the mole ratio of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ and C₂H₆O.

Rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 1.64 mol/min of  Cr₂(SO₄)₃  * 3 moles of C₂H₆O / 2 moles of Cr₂(SO₄)₃

Rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 2.46 mol/min of C₂H₆O

Therefore, the rate of disappearance of C₂H₆O = 2.46 mol/min

Which of the following happens when solid sodium chloride dissolves in water?A.The attractive forces between water and the sodiu
grin007 [14]

Answer: option D. The attractive forces between the sodium and chloride ions are overcome by the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions.

Explanation:

<em>Solid sodium chloride</em> (NaCl) is a ionic compound formed by ionic bonds between by the positive, metallic cations of sodium atom, Na⁺, and the negative, non-meatllic anions of chlorine atom, Cl⁻ (chloride).

Ionic bonds, then, are the electrostatic attracion between oppositely charged particles (cations and anions).

<em />

<em>When solid sodium chloride dissolves in water</em>, the ions (cations and anions) are separated in the solvent (water) due to the superior attracitve forces between such ions and the polar water molecules.

<em>Water</em> (H₂O) is a molecule, formed by polar covalent bonds between two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

The polarity of water molecule is due to the fact that oxygen atoms are more electronegative than hydrogen atoms, which cause that the electron density is closer to oxygen nuclei than to hydrogen nuclei. This asymmetry in the electron density conferes a partial positive charge over each hydrogen atom and a partial negative charge over the oxygen atoms.

Thus, the positively charged hydrogen atoms attract and surround the negative chloride (Cl⁻) anions, while the negatively charged oxygen atoms attract and surround the positive sodium (Na⁺) cations. It is only because the attractive forces between the water and the sodium and chloride ions are stronger than the attractive forces between the sodiium and chloride ions that such ions may be kept separated in the solution. This process is called solvation and the ions are said to be solvated by the water molecules.

Calculate δg∘rxn and e∘cell for a redox reaction with n = 3 that has an equilibrium constant of k = 4.4×10−2. you may want to re
lapo4ka [179]
a) First, to get ΔG°rxn we have to use this formula when:

ΔG° = - RT ㏑ K 

when ΔG° is Gibbs free energy 

and R is the constant = 8.314 J/mol K

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 25 °C+ 273 =  298 K 

and when K = 4.4 x 10^-2

so, by substitution:

ΔG°= - 8.314 * 298 *㏑(4.4 x 10^-2)

      = -7739 J  = -7.7 KJ


b) then, to get E
° cell for a redox reaction we have to use this formula:

ΔE° Cell = (RT / nF) ㏑K

when R is a constant = 8.314 J/molK

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 25°C + 273 = 298 K

and n = no.of moles of e- from the balanced redox reaction= 3

and F is Faraday constant = 96485 C/mol

and K = 4.4 x 10^-2

so, by substitution:

∴ ΔE° cell = (8.314 * 298 / 3* 96485) *㏑(4.4 x 10^-2)

              = - 2.7 x 10^-2 V

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

30 hot dogs

Explanation:

It is given that :

There are 4 packets of eight wieners, i.e. 4 x 8 = 32 wieners

There are 3 bags of ten buns, i.e. 3 x 10 = 30 buns

One hot dogs need 1 bun and 1 wiener to make a hot dog.

There are 30 buns, so 30 hot dogs can be made out by using all the 30 buns and the 30 wieners out of the 32 wieners.

Therefore, 30 hot dogs.

And the number of extra wieners left = 32 - 30 = 2 wieners.
