34. Explain how dimensional analysis is used to solve problems.

Chemistry
1 answer:
alisha [4.7K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: By understanding conversion factors and how they are related to each other

Explanation:

Dimensional Analysis is a step by step approach to solving problems in Physics, Chemistry , and Mathematics. It involves having a clear knowledge and understanding to be able to convert a given unit to another in the same dimension using  conversion factors and knowing how they are related to each other.

For instance, In Chemistry, we want to Convert 120mL to L.(note that ml stands for millilitres and ;L stands for litres)

Or first approach will be to write out the conversion factor related to our problem which is

1000ml =1L

such that 120ml = (we cross multiply))

giving us  120ml x 1L/1000ml =0.12L

This same process is applied to convert any type of dimensional analysis problems be it physics or mathematics.

When sodium peroxide is added to water, sodium hydroxide and oxygen gas is produced.
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The reaction combines the sodium with the hydrogen and oxygen in water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas, and you get a lot of energy released as heat as well. This heat actually melts any remaining sodium that has not reacted yet, and ignites the hydrogen gas, so you get the bang and the flash.

How many atoms of fluorine are in 5.6×1022 molecules of MgF2?
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:You can set up stoichiemetry using the following equation:

(15.6 g MgF2) x (38g F / 62g MgF2) x (6.022x10^23 / 19gF)

= 3.03 x 10^23 molecules of F

or 1.52 x 10^23 molecules of F2

The number of molecules of magnesium fluoride in 15.6 g of MgF2 has to be found.

The molecular mass of MgF2 is 62.3018. 15.6 g of MgF2 is equivalent to 15.6/62.3018 mole of MgF2.

One mole of a gas has 6.02214179*10^23 particles.

15.6/62.3018 mole of MgF2 has (15.6/62.3018)*6.02214179*10^23 molecules of the compound.

(15.6/62.3018)*6.02214179*10^23

=> 1.5079*20^23

If this is rounded to one decimal figure the result is 1.51*10^23.

The number of molecules of MgF2 in 15.6 g of the gas is 1.51*10^23.

2 HI(g) ⇄ H2(g) + I2(g) Kc = 0.0156 at 400ºC 0.550 moles of HI are placed in a 2.00 L container and the system is allowed to rea
Alex_Xolod [135]

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of hydrogen gas at equilibrium is 0.0275 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molarity is calculated by using the equation:

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Moles of HI = 0.550 moles

Volume of container = 2.00 L

\text{Initial concentration of HI}=\frac{0.550}{2}=0.275M

For the given chemical equation:

                          2HI(g)\rightleftharpoons H_2(g)+I_2(g)

<u>Initial:</u>                  0.275

<u>At eqllm:</u>           0.275-2x      x         x

The expression of K_c for above equation follows:

K_c=\frac{[H_2][I_2]}{[HI]^2}

We are given:

K_c=0.0156

Putting values in above expression, we get:

0.0156=\frac{x\times x}{(0.275-2x)^2}\\\\x=-0.0458,0.0275

Neglecting the negative value of 'x' because concentration cannot be negative

So, equilibrium concentration of hydrogen gas = x = 0.0275 M

Hence, the concentration of hydrogen gas at equilibrium is 0.0275 M
