Sodium chloride, NaCl, can be used to melt snow. How many moles of sodium chloride are in a 10 kg bag?

Chemistry

Mekhanik [1.2K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

171 moles of sodium chloride

Explanation:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of sodium chloride = 58.5 g/mol

mass of sodium chloride = 10 Kg or 10,000 g

Now, to obtain the number of moles of sodium chloride;

Number of moles = 10,000 g/58.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 171 moles of sodium chloride

The standard reduction potentials of the following half-reactions are given in Appendix E in the textbook:
german

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For 1:</u> The largest positive cell potential is of cell having 1st and 4th half reactions.

<u>For 2:</u> The standard electrode potential of the cell is 1.539 V

<u>For 3:</u> The smallest positive cell potential is of cell having 3rd and 4th half reactions. The standard electrode potential of the cell is 0.46 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

The substance having highest positive E^o potential will always get reduced and will undergo reduction reaction.

We are given:

Ag^++(aq.)+e^-\rightarrow Ag(s);E^o_{Ag^+/Ag}=0.799V\\\\Cu^{2+}+(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Cu(s);E^o_{Cu^{2+}/Cu}=0.337V\\\\Ni^{2+}(aq.)+2e^-\rightarrow Ni(s);E^o_{Ni^{2+}/Ni}=-0.28V\\\\Cr^{3+}(aq.)+3e^-\rightarrow Cr(s);E^o_{Cr^{3+}/Cr}=-0.74V

Substance getting oxidized always act as anode and the one getting reduced always act as cathode.

To calculate the E^o_{cell} of the reaction, we use the equation:

E^o_{cell}=E^o_{cathode}-E^o_{anode}

  • <u>Cell having 1st and 2nd half reactions:</u>

Silver has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Copper will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

E^o_{cell}=0.799-0.337=0.462V

  • <u>Cell having 1st and 3rd half reactions:</u>

Silver has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Nickel will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

E^o_{cell}=0.799-(-0.28)=1.079V

  • <u>Cell having 1st and 4th half reactions:</u>

Silver has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Chromium will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

E^o_{cell}=0.799-(-0.74)=1.539V

  • <u>Cell having 2nd and 3rd half reactions:</u>

Copper has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Nickel will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

E^o_{cell}=0.337-(-0.28)=0.617V

  • <u>Cell having 3rd and 4th half reactions:</u>

Nickel has higher electrode potential. So, this will undergo reduction reaction and act as anode. Chromium will undergo oxidation reaction and act as cathode.

E^o_{cell}=-0.28-(-0.74)=0.46V

Hence,

<u>For 1:</u> The largest positive cell potential is of cell having 1st and 4th half reactions.

<u>For 2:</u> The standard electrode potential of the cell is 1.539 V

<u>For 3:</u> The smallest positive cell potential is of cell having 3rd and 4th half reactions. The standard electrode potential of the cell is 0.46 V

A chemist prepares a solution of sodium chloride(NaCl) by measuring out 25.4g of sodium chloride into a 100ml volumetric flask a
labwork [276]

Answer: 4 molL-1

Explanation:

Detailed solution is shown in the image attached. The number of moles of NaCl is first obtained. Since the molarity must be in units of molL-1, the volume is divided by 1000 and the formula stated in the solution is applied and the answer is given to one significant figure.

Which is stronger - the attractive forces between water molecules and chromium and chloride ions, or the combined ionic bond str
Tju [1.3M]

Answer is: the combined ionic bond strength of CrCl₂ and intermolecular forces between water molecules.

When chromium chloride (CrCl₂) is dissolved in water, the temperature of the water increases, heat of the solution is endothermic.

Dissociation of chromium chloride in water: CrCl₂(aq) → Cr²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq).

Energy (the lattice energy) is required to pull apart the oppositely charged ions in chromium chloride.

The heat of hydration is liberated energy when the separated ions (in this example chromium cations and chlorine anions) attract polar water molecules.

Because the lattice energy is higher than the heat of the hydration (endothermic reaction), we can conclude that bonds between ions are strong (the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions).
