What is Displacement reaction . Explain with an example.​

Chemistry

Explanation:

A displacement reaction is the one wherein the atom or a set of atoms is displaced by another atom in a molecule. For instance, when iron is added to a copper sulphate solution, it displaces the copper metal. A + B-C → A-C + B.

A major component of gasoline is octane (C8H18). When octane is burned in air, it chemically reacts with oxygen gas (O2) to prod
Olin [163]

Answer:

The answer is 6.25g.

Explanation:

First create your balanced equation. This will give you the stoich ratios needed to answer the question:

2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O

Remember, we need to work in terms of NUMBERS, but the question gives us MASS. Therefore the next step is to convert the mass of O2 into moles of O2 by dividing by the molar mass:

7.72 g / 16 g/mol = 0.482 mol

Now we can use the stoich ratio from the equation to determine how many moles of H2O are produced:

x mol H2O / 0.482 mol O2 = 18 H2O / 25 O2

x = 0.347 mol H2O

The question wants the mass of water, so convert moles back into mass by multiplying by the molar mass of water:

0.347 mol x 18 g/mol = 6.25g

An unknown compound contains 38.7 % calcium, 19.9 % phosphorus and 41.2 % oxygen. what is the empirical formula of this compound
Temka [501]

The amount per 100 g is:

38.7 % calcium = 38.7g Ca / 100g compound = 38.7g

19.9 % phosphorus = 19.9g P / 100g compound = 19.9g

41.2 % oxygen = 41.2g O / 100g compound = 41.2g

The molar amounts of calcium, phosphorus and oxygen in 100g sample are calculated by dividing each element’s mass by its molar mass:

Ca = 38.7/40.078 = 0.96

P = 19.9/30.97 = 0.64

O = 41.2/15.99 = 2.57

C0efficients for the tentative empirical formula are derived by dividing each molar amount by the lesser value that is 0.64 and in this case, after that multiply wih 2.

Ca = 0.96 / 0.64 = 1.5=1.5 x 2 = 3

P = 0.64 / 0.64 = 1 = 1x2= 2

O = 2.57 / 0.64 = 4= 4x2= 8

Since, the resulting ratio is calcium 3, phosphorus 2 and oxygen 8

<span>So, the empirical formula of the compound is Ca</span>₃(PO₄)₂

What is the necessary voltage to power the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride?
sammy [17]

4V  is the necessary voltage to power the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride.

To create sodium metal and chlorine gas, molten (liquid) sodium chloride can be electrolyzed. A Down's cell is the name of the electrolytic cell utilised in the procedure. The liquid sodium ions in a Down's cell are converted to liquid sodium metal at the cathode. Liquid chlorine ions are oxidised to chlorine gas at the anode. Below is an illustration of the reactions and cell potentials:

oxidation: 2Cl^{-} (l) → Cl_{2} (g) + 2e^{-}                                  E°= -1.36V

reduction: Na^{+} (l) + e^{-} → Na (l)                                    E°= -2.71V

overall : 2Na^{+} (l) + 2Cl^{-} (l) → 2Na(l) +Cl_{2} (g)              E°_{cell} = -4.07V

For this electrolysis to take place, the battery needs to supply more than 4 volts. The only means to obtain pure sodium metal is by this reaction, which also serves as a significant source of chlorine gas generation. Swimming pools and other surfaces are frequently cleaned and disinfected with chlorine gas.
