Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.541 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many moles of sodium carbonate are in 57.3 grams of the substance.

Carbonate is CO₃ and has an oxidation number of -2. Sodium is Na and has an oxidation number of +1. There must be 2 moles of sodium so the charge of the sodium balances the charge of the carbonate. The formula is Na₂CO₃.

We will convert grams to moles using the molar mass or the mass of 1 mole of a substance. They are found on the Periodic Table as the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units. Look up the molar masses of the individual elements.

Na: 22.9897693 g/mol
C: 12.011 g/mol
O: 15.999 g/mol

Remember the formula contains subscripts. There are multiple moles of some elements in 1 mole of the compound. We multiply the element's molar mass by the subscript after it, then add everything together.

Na₂ = 22.9897693 * 2= 45.9795386 g/mol
O₃ = 15.999 * 3= 47.997 g/mol
Na₂CO₃= 45.9795386 + 12.011 + 47.997 =105.9875386 g/mol

We will convert using dimensional analysis. Set up a ratio using the molar mass.

$\frac {105.9875386 \ g \ Na_2CO_3}{1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}$

We are converting 57.3 grams to moles, so we multiply by this value.

$57.3 \ g \ Na_2CO_3} *\frac {105.9875386 \ g \ Na_2CO_3}{1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}$

Flip the ratio so the units of grams of sodium carbonate cancel.

$57.3 \ g \ Na_2CO_3} *\frac {1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}{105.9875386 \ g \ Na_2CO_3}$

$57.3 } *\frac {1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}{105.9875386 }$

$\frac {57.3 }{105.9875386 } \ mol \ Na_2CO_3$

$0.5406295944 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3$

The original measurement of moles has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found that is the thousandth place. The 6 in the ten-thousandth place to the right tells us to round the 0 up to a 1.

$0.541 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3$

There are approximately 0.541 moles of sodium carbonate in 57.3 grams.

Consider the following reaction between mercury(II) chloride and oxalate ion.

Alina [70]

Answer: The rate law of the reaction is $\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2][C_2O_4^{2-}]^2$

Explanation:

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

$2 HgCl_2(aq.)+C_2O_4^{2-}(aq.)\rightarrow 2Cl^-(aq.)+2CO_2(g)+Hg_2Cl_2(s)$

Rate law expression for the reaction:

$\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^a[C_2O_4^{2-}]^b$

where,

a = order with respect to $HgCl_2$

b = order with respect to $C_2O_4^{2-}$

Expression for rate law for first observation:

$3.2\times 10^{-5}=k(0.164)^a(0.15)^b$ ....(1)

Expression for rate law for second observation:

$2.9\times 10^{-4}=k(0.164)^a(0.45)^b$ ....(2)

Expression for rate law for third observation:

$1.4\times 10^{-4}=k(0.082)^a(0.45)^b$ ....(3)

Expression for rate law for fourth observation:

$4.8\times 10^{-5}=k(0.246)^a(0.15)^b$ ....(4)

Dividing 2 from 1, we get:

$\frac{2.9\times 10^{-4}}{3.2\times 10^{-5}}=\frac{(0.164)^a(0.45)^b}{(0.164)^a(0.15)^b}\\\\9=3^b\\b=2$

Dividing 2 from 3, we get:

$\frac{2.9\times 10^{-4}}{1.4\times 10^{-4}}=\frac{(0.164)^a(0.45)^b}{(0.082)^a(0.45)^b}\\\\2=2^a\\a=1$

Thus, the rate law becomes:

$\text{Rate}=k[HgCl_2]^1[C_2O_4^{2-}]^2$

In Universe , recently discovered by an intrepid team of chemists who also happen to have studied interdimensional travel, quant

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

When talking about our universe there are 5 d orbitals. The element of first transition series moves away from the universal principles of Hund's rule and Aufbav's principle. So in order to attain stability these elements tend to form half or full filled orbitals.

In our universe the ground state electronic configuration of sixth transition metal, Iron (Fe) : [Ar] $3d^{6} 4s^{2}$

and the electronic configuration of seventh transition metal, Cobalt (Co) : [Ar] $3d^{7} 4s^{2}$

=================================

In universe L there are seven orbitals.

Ground state electronic configuration of sixth and seven transition element.

Sixth transition metal: [Ar] $3d^{7} 4s^1 or [X] 3d^{7} 4s^1$

Seventh transition metal: [Ar] $3d^{7} 4s^{2}or [X] 3d^{7} 4s^{2}$

The vapor pressure of ethanol is 1.00 × 102 mmHg at 34.90°C. What is its vapor pressure at 60.21°C? (ΔHvap for ethanol is 39.3 k

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The vapor pressure at 60.21°C is 327 mmHg.

Explanation:

Given the vapor pressure of ethanol at 34.90°C is 102 mmHg.

We need to find vapor pressure at 60.21°C.

The Clausius-Clapeyron equation is often used to find the vapor pressure of pure liquid.

$ln(\frac{P_2}{P_1})=\frac{\Delta_{vap}H}{R}(\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2})$

We have given in the question

$P_1=102\ mmHg$

$T_1=34.90\°\ C=34.90+273.15=308.05\ K\\T_2=60.21\°\ C=60.21+273.15=333.36\ K\\\Delta{vap}H=39.3 kJ/mol$

And $R$ is the Universal Gas Constant.

$R=0.008 314 kJ/Kmol$

$ln(\frac{P_2}{102})=\frac{39.3}{0.008314}(\frac{1}{308.05}-\frac{1}{333.36})\\\\ln(\frac{P_2}{102})=4726.967(\frac{333.36-308.05}{333.36\times308.05})\\\\ln(\frac{P_2}{102})=4726.967(\frac{25.31}{333.36\times308.05})\\\\ln(\frac{P_2}{102})=4726.967(\frac{25.31}{102691.548})\\\\ln(\frac{P_2}{102})=1.165$

Taking inverse log both side we get,

$\frac{P_2}{102}=e^{1.165}\\\\P_2=102\times 3.20\ mmHg\\P_2=327\ mmHg$
