Calculate the number of ammonia molecules in 3.9 g.

1 answer:

6 0

•3.9g of ammonia
•molar mass of ammonia = 17.03g/mol

1st you have to covert grams to moles by dividing the mass of ammonia with the molar mass:

(3.9 g)/ (17.03g/mol) = 0.22900763mols

Then convert the moles to molecules by multiplying it with Avogadro’s number:

Avogadro’s number: 6.022 x 10^23

0.22900763mols x (6.022 x 10^23 molecs/mol)
= 1.38 x 10^23 molecules

<h3>Explanation</h3>

$(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}$ in this question acts as a weak base. As seen in the equation in the question, $(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}$ produces $\text{OH}^{-}$ rather than $\text{H}^{+}$ when it dissolves in water. The concentration of $\text{OH}^{-}$ will likely be more useful than that of $\text{H}^{+}$ for the calculations here.

Finding the value of $[\text{OH}^{-}]$ from pH:

Assume that $\text{pK}_w = 14$ ,

$\begin{array}{ll}\text{pOH} = \text{pK}_w - \text{pH} \\ \phantom{\text{pOH}} = 14 - 11.20 &\text{True only under room temperature where }\text{pK}_w = 14 \\\phantom{\text{pOH}}= 2.80\end{array}$ .

$[\text{OH}^{-}] =10^{-\text{pOH}} =10^{-2.80} = 1.59\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .

Solve for $[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial}$ :

$\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{equilibrium}} = \text{K}_b = 1.58\times 10^{-3}$

Note that water isn't part of this expression.

The value of Kb is quite small. The change in $(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}$ is nearly negligible once it dissolves. In other words,

$[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial} = [(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{final}$ .

Also, for each mole of $\text{OH}^{-}$ produced, one mole of $(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}$ was also produced. The solution started with a small amount of either species. As a result,

$[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}] = [\text{OH}^{-}] = 10^{-2.80} = 1.58\times 10^{-3}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .

$\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\textbf{initial}} = \text{K}_b = 1.58\times 10^{-3}$ ,

$[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\textbf{initial} =\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{\text{K}_b}$ ,

$[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial} =\dfrac{(1.58\times10^{-3})^{2}}{6.3\times10^{-5}} = 0.040\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ .

Identify the products in the equation below (the “I” is Iodine—to differentiate capital “I” from lowercase “l”)

Inessa [10]

Answer : The products are Silver sulfide, $(Ag_2S)$ and Sodium iodide, $(NaI)$ .

Explanation :

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

$2AgI+Na_2S\rightarrow Ag_2S+2NaI$

From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that the 2 moles of silver iodide react with the 1 mole of sodium sulfide to give product as 1 mole of silver sulfide and 2 moles of sodium iodide.

In a chemical reaction, reactants are represent on the left side of the right-arrow and products are represent on the right side of the right-arrow.

Therefore, in a chemical reaction the products are Silver sulfide and Sodium iodide.
