Answer:

Kc = 1.09x10⁻⁴

Explanation:

<em>HF = 1.62g</em>

<em>H₂O = 516g</em>

<em>F⁻ = 0.163g</em>

<em>H₃O⁺ = 0.110g</em>

<em />

To solve this question we need to find the moles of each reactant in order to solve the molar concentration of each reactan and replacing in the Kc expression. For the reaction, the Kc is:

Kc = [H₃O⁺] [F⁻] / [HF]

<em>Because Kc is defined as the ratio between concentrations of products over reactants powered to its reaction coefficient. Pure liquids as water are not taken into account in Kc expression:</em>

<em />

[H₃O⁺] = 0.110g * (1mol /19.01g) = 0.00579moles / 5.6L = 1.03x10⁻³M

[F⁻] = 0.163g * (1mol /19.0g) = 0.00858moles / 5.6L = 1.53x10⁻³M

[HF] = 1.62g * (1mol /20g) = 0.081moles / 5.6L = 0.0145M

Kc = [1.03x10⁻³M] [1.53x10⁻³M] / [0.0145M]

<h3>Kc = 1.09x10⁻⁴</h3>

A hydrocarbon contains 85.7% carbon and the remainder
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

CH₂ ;  67.1 %

Explanation:

To determine the empirical formula we need to find what the mole ratio is in whole numbers of the atoms in the compound. To do that we will first need the atomic weights of C and H and then perform our calculation

Assume 100 grams of the compound.

# mol C = 85.7 g / 12.01 g/mol = 7.14 mol

# mol H = 14.3 g /  1.008 g/mol = 14.19 mol

The proportion is 14.9 mol H/ 7.14 mol C = 2 mol H/ 1 mol C

So the empirical formula is CH₂

For the second part we will need to first calculate the theoretical yield for the 12.03 g NaBH₄  reacted and then calculate the percent yield given the 0.295 g B₂H₆ produced.

We need to calculate the moles of  NaBH₄ ( M.W = 37.83 g/mol )

1.203 g  NaBH₄ / 37.83 g/mol =  0.0318 mol

Theoretical yield from balanced chemical equation:

0.0318 mol NaBH₄ x 1 mol B₂H₆ / mol NaBH₄ = 0.0159 mol B₂H₆

Theoretical mass yield B₂H₆ = 0.0159 mol x 27.66 g/ mol =  0.440 g

% yield = 0.295 g/ 0.440 g x 100 = 67.1 %

Is hydrogen a neutral atom or ion
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Hydrogen is the smallest chemical element. It has one proton and one electron, making it neutral. However, the ions of hydrogen atom are charged species. Thus, the key difference between hydrogen atom and hydrogen ion is that the hydrogen atom is neutral whereas hydrogen ion carries a charge.
