Balance the chemical reaction equation

Chemistry

zlopas [31]3 years ago
5 0

We have the following chemical reaction:

P₄ + 10 Cl₂ → 4 PCl₅

<u>Identifying the limiting reactant.</u>

mass of  P₄ = 28 g

mass of Cl₂ = 53 g

number of moles = mass / molecular weight

number of moles of P₄ = 28 / 124 = 0.226 moles

number of moles of Cl₂ = 53 / 71 = 0.746 moles

From the reaction we see that 1 mole of P₄ will react with 10 moles of Cl₂ so 0.226 moles of P₄ will react with 2.226 moles of Cl₂, but we have only 0.746 moles of Cl₂. So the limiting reactant will be Cl₂.

<u>Part B</u>

From the previous calculations we know that 28 g of P₄ are equal to 0.226 moles moles of P₄.

Now, knowing the chemical reaction, we devise the following reasoning:

if        1 mole of P₄ produces 4 moles of PCl₅

then  0.226 moles of P₄ produces X moles of PCl₅

X = (0.226 × 4) / 1 = 0.904 moles of PCl₅

<u>Part C</u>

From the previous calculations we know that 53 g of Cl₂ are equal to 0.746 moles moles of Cl₂.

Now, knowing the chemical reaction, we devise the following reasoning:

if         10 moles of Cl₂ produces 4 moles of PCl₅

then   0.746 moles of Cl₂ produces X moles of PCl₅

X = (0.746 × 4) / 10 = 0.298 moles of PCl₅

Be sure to answer all parts. A concentration cell consists of two Sn/Sn2+ half-cells. The electrolyte in compartment A is 0.23 M
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Part A. The half-cell B is the cathode and the half-cell A is the anode

Part B. 0.017V

Explanation:

Part A

The electrons must go from the anode to the cathode. At the anode oxidation takes place, and at the cathode a reduction, so the flow of electrons must go from the less concentrated solution to the most one (at oxidation the concentration intends to increase, and at the reduction, the concentration intends to decrease).

So, the half-cell B is the cathode and the half-cell A is the anode.

Part B

By the Nersnt equation:

E°cell = E° - (0.0592/n)*log[anode]/[cathode]

Where n is the number of electrons being changed in the reaction, in this case, n = 2 (Sn goes from S⁺²). Because the half-reactions are the same, the reduction potential of the anode is equal to the cathode, and E° = 0 V.

E°cell = 0 - (0.0592/2)*log(0.23/0.87)

E°cell = 0.017V

Clearly distinguish between science and technology​
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

The words science and technology can and often are used interchangeably. But the goal of science is the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake while the goal of technology is to create products that solve problems and improve human life. Simply put, technology is the practical application of science.
