Answer:

no. of moles of PbI₂ = 14 moles

Explanation:

Data Given:

no. of moles of HI = 28 moles

no. of moles of Pbl₂ = ?

Reaction Given

        Pb + 2HI -------→ Pbl₂ + H₂

Solution:

To solve this problem we have to look at the reaction

Reaction:

                  Pb  +  2HI   -------→  Pbl₂  +  H₂

                            2 mol          1 mol

So if we look at the reaction 2 mole of hydrogen iodide (HI) gives 1 moles of Lead iodide (PbI₂), then how many moles of Lead iodide (PbI₂) will be produced by 28 moles of hydrogen iodide (HI)

For this apply unity formula

                      2 mole of HI  ≅  1 moles of PbI₂

                      28 mole of HI  ≅  X moles of PbI₂

By Doing cross multiplication

                      moles of PbI₂ = 28 moles x 1 moles / 2 mole

                      moles of PbI₂ = 14 mole

28 mole of HI will produce 14 moles of PbI₂

What happens when the temperature of an object increases? The number of the object's particles increases. The object's particles
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

When the temperature of an object increase, the object's particle move faster.

Explanation:

Energy in form of the heat can be absorbed by the object, energy is translated to object's particles. In that moment, energy is transformed in another form - kinetic energy. Kinetic energy manifest as a faster particle movement ( or vibration ).

How many grams of propane, C3H8, are needed to make 140 grams of water?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

85.6 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced combustion equation

C₃H₈ + 5 O₂ ⇒ 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 140 g of H₂O

The molar mass of H₂O is 18.02 g/mol.

140 g × 1 mol/18.02 g = 7.77 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of C₃H₈ needed to produce 7.77 moles of H₂O

The molar ratio of C₃H₈ to H₂O is 1:4. The moles of C₃H₈ needed are 1/4 × 7.77 mol = 1.94 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 1.94 moles of C₃H₈

The molar mass of C₃H₈ is 44.10 g/mol.

1.94 mol × 44.10 g/mol = 85.6 g
