<h2>Answer: A (+4)</h2>

Explanation:

The HCO₃ in NaHCO₃ has an oxidation state of -1. We know this because of the charge on HCO₃ and also by the fact that Na is a group 1 metal that always has a +1 oxidation state.

The sum of the oxidation states of the components of HCO₃ has to be equal to -1

⇒ H + C + 3 O = - 1

A rule of redox is that Oxygen always has a - 2 oxidation state and H usually has a + 1 oxidation state

⇒ 1 + C + 3(-2) = - 1 [make C the subject of the equation and simplify]

⇒ C = -1 - 1 + 6

C = + 4

Answer:

1) The partial pressure of SO₂ gas in the larger container = 0.115 atm.

2) The partial pressure of N₂ gas in the larger container = 0.206 atm.

3) The total pressure in the vessel = 0.321 atm.

Explanation:

To calculate the partial pressure of each gas, we can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the partial pressure of the gas in atm,

V is the volume of the vessel in L,

n is the no. of moles of the gas,

R is the general gas constant (R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K),

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

1) What is the partial pressure of SO₂ gas in the larger container?

∵ P = nRT/V.

n = mass/molar mass = (3.0 g)/(64.066 g/mol) = 0.047 mol.

R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K.

T = 26 °C + 273.15 = 299.15 K.

V = 10.0 L. (The volume of the new container)

∴ P = nRT/V = (0.047 mol)(0.082 L.atm/mol.K)(299.15 K)/(10.0 L) = 0.115 atm.

2) What is the partial pressure of N₂ gas in the larger container?

∵ P = nRT/V.

n = mass/molar mass = (2.35 g)/(28.0 g/mol) = 0.084 mol.

R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K.

T = 26 °C + 273.15 = 299.15 K.

V = 10.0 L. (The volume of the new container)

∴ P = nRT/V = (0.084 mol)(0.082 L.atm/mol.K)(299.15 K)/(10.0 L) = 0.206 atm.

3) What is the total pressure in the vessel?

According to Dalton's law the total pressure exerted is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual gases.

∵ The total pressure in the vessel = the partial pressure of SO₂ + the partial pressure of N₂.

∴ The total pressure in the vessel = 0.115 + 0.206 = 0.321 atm.

If the sample has a total mass of 5.76 g and contains 1.79 g k, what are the percentages of kbr and ki in the sample by mass

Luden [163]

The percentages of KBr and KI in the sample by mass is 80.68 and 19.32 % respectively.

<h3>What is Molar Mass ?</h3>

Molar mass is defined as the mass contained in 1 mole of sample.

It is given that

the sample has a total mass of 5.76 g contains KBr and KI

and contains 1.79 gm of K is present

what is the percentage of KBr and KI in the sample

Molecular weight of K = 39

Molecular weight of Br = 79.9

Molecular weight of I = 126.9

In KBr the mass percentage of K is 39/(39+79.9) = 32.89%

In KI the mass percentage of K is 39/(39+126.9) = 23.5%

Let the mass of KBr present in the sample is x

K will be 0.3289 x

and let the mass of KI present be y

K will be 0.235y

x +y =5.76

0.3289x+0.235y = 1.79

0.0939y = 0.1045

y = 1.1125 gm

x = 5.76-1.1125

x = 4.6475 gm

% of KBr = (4.6475/5.76 )*100 = 80.68 %

% of KI = (1.1125/5.76) *100 = 19.32%

"Synthesis gas" is a mixture of carbon monoxide and water vapor. At high temperature synthesis gas will form carbon dioxide and

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Lets start by drawing the ICE chart

reaction is

...............CO + H2O ========= CO2 + H2

I.............2.6.........3.4..........................0................0

E...........1.88........2.68......................0.72............0.72

since reaction is 1 : 1 if 0.72 atm of H2 are produced then the same amount of CO2 will be formed

calculate Kp this is the relationship between the pressure of products and the pressure of reactants

Kp = Pproducts / Preactants = [Pco2* PH2] / [PCO * PH2O]

Kp = 0.72 * 0.72 / (1.88 * 2.68) = 0.1029

Write the ICE chart again

...............CO + H2O ========= CO2 + H2

I.............1.88.........2.68+1.1.................0.72................0.72

C...........-x............. -x..............................+x........................+x

E......1.88 - x...........3.78-x.....................0.72+x..... ..0.72+x

Kp is = (0.72+x)*(0.72+x) /[ (1.88-x)*(3.78-x) ] = 0.1029

lets say that x is the change of pressure.

If you solve this equation you will get a value of x equal to 0.1

Pressure of CO2 is

0.72 + 0.1= 0.82 atm

using 2 sig figures this would be

8.2x10-1 atm
