63.1 g of NaN3 is formed when 50.0 g of sodium is reacted with 40.5 g of nitrogen according to the balanced chemical reaction

The balanced reaction equation is;

2 Na + 3 N2--> 2 NaN3

Number of moles of Na = 50.0 g/23 g/mol = 2.17 moles of Na

Number of moles of Nitrogen = 40.5 g/28 g/mol = 1.45 moles of N2

We have to obtain the limiting reactant, this is the reactant that yields the least number of moles of product.

For Na

2 moles of Na yields 2 moles of NaN3

2.17 moles of Na yields 2.17 moles of NaN3 (reaction is 1:1).

For N2

3 moles of N2 yields 2 moles of NaN3

1.45 moles of N2 yields 1.45 * 2/3 = 0.97 moles of NaN3

So, N2 is the limiting reactant. Mass of product formed depends on the limiting reactant.

Mass of NaN3 = 0.97 moles of NaN3 * 65 g/mol = 63.1 g of NaN3

Therefore, 63.1 g of NaN3 is formed when 50.0 g of sodium is reacted with 40.5 g of nitrogen according to the balanced chemical reaction

The volume (in L) that would be occupied by 5.00 mols of 02 at STP is

crimeas [40]

Answer : The volume of oxygen at STP is 112.0665 L

Solution : Given,

The number of moles of $O_2$ = 5 moles

At STP, the temperature is 273 K and pressure is 1 atm.

Using ideal gas law equation :

$PV=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of gas

V = volume of gas

n = the number of moles

T = temperature of gas

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mole K (Given)

By rearranging the above ideal gas law equation, we get

$V=\frac{nRT}{P}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get the value of volume.

$V=\frac{(5moles)\times (0.0821Latm/moleK)\times (273K)}{1atm}=112.0665L$

Therefore, the volume of oxygen at STP is 112.0665 L

Why is climate change a concern when it comes to animal behavior and ability to reproduce

kow [346]

Answer:

hope this helps! :)

Explanation:

While humans and many other animals determine sex genetically, many reptiles and some fish use the incubation temperature of the eggs to set the gender of their offspring. This means that changing global temperatures could alter the ratio of sexes produced, making it harder for these animals to find mates

Whats the voltage of CuCl2 + Zn -> ZnCl2 + Cu

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Approximately $1.10\; {\rm V}$ under standard conditions.

Explanation:

Equation for the overall reaction:

${\rm CuCl_{2}}\, (aq) + {\rm Zn}\, (s) \to {\rm ZnCl_{2}} \, (aq) + {\rm Cu}\, (s)$ .

Write down the ionic equation for this reaction:

$\begin{aligned}& {\rm Cu^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\; {\rm Cl^{-}}\, (aq) + {\rm Zn}\, (s)\\ & \to {\rm Zn^{2+}} \, (aq) + 2\; {\rm Cl^{-}}\, (aq) + {\rm Cu}\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

The net ionic equation for this reaction would be:

${\rm Cu^{2+}}\, (aq) + {\rm Zn}\, (s) \to {\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + {\rm Cu}\, (s)$ .

In this reaction:

Zinc loses electrons and was oxidized (at the anode): ${\rm Zn}\, (s) \to {\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}}$ .
Copper gains electrons and was reduced (at the cathode): ${\rm Cu^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} \to {\rm Cu} \, (s)$ .

Look up the standard potentials for each half-reaction on a table of standard reduction potentials.

Notice that ${\rm Zn}\, (s) \to {\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}}$ is oxidation and is likely not on the table of standard reduction potentials. However, the reverse reaction, ${\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} \to {\rm Zn}\, (s)$ , is reduction and is likely on the table.

$E(\text{anode}) = -0.7618\; {\rm V}$ for ${\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} \to {\rm Zn}\, (s)$ , and
$E(\text{cathode}) = 0.3419\; {\rm V}$ for ${\rm Cu^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} \to {\rm Cu} \, (s)$ .

The reduction potential of ${\rm Zn}\, (s) \to {\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}}$ would be $-E(\text{anode}) = -(-0.7618\; {\rm V}) = 0.7618\; {\rm V}$ , the opposite of the reverse reaction ${\rm Zn^{2+}}\, (aq) + 2\, {\rm e^{-}} \to {\rm Zn}\, (s)$ .

The standard potential of the overall reaction would be the sum of the standard potentials of the two half-reactions:

$\begin{aligned} E^{\circ} &= E^{\circ}(\text{cathode}) + (-E^{\circ}(\text{anode})) \\ &= 0.3419 - (-0.7618\; {\rm V}) \\ &\approx 1.10\; {\rm V}\end{aligned}$ .
