3. Two different compounds are formed by the elements carbon and oxygen. The first compound contains 42.9% by mass carbon and 57

.1% by mass oxygen. The second compound contains 27.3% by mass carbon and 72.7% by mass oxygen. Show that the data are consistent with the law of multiple proportions.​

Answer:

The law of multiple proportions is the third postulate of Dalton's atomic theory. It states that the masses of one element which combine with a fixed mass of the second element are in a ratio of whole numbers.

Therefore, the masses of oxygen in the two compounds that combine with a fixed mass of carbon should be in a whole number ratio. In 100 grams of the first compound (100 is chosen to make calculations easier), there are 57.1 grams oxygen and 42.9 grams carbon. The mass of oxygen (O) per gram of carbon (C) is:

57.1 g O / 42.9 g C = 1.33 g O per g C

In the 100 grams of the second compound, there are 72.7 grams of oxygen (O) and 27.3 grams of carbon (C). The mass of oxygen per gram of carbon is:

72.7 g O / 27.3 g C = 2.66 g O per g C

Dividing the mass O per g C of the second (larger value) compound:

2.66 / 1.33 = 2

This means that the masses of oxygen that combine with carbon are in a 2:1 ratio. The whole-number ratio is consistent with the law of multiple proportions.

Nitrogen dioxide and water react to form nitric acid and nitrogen monoxide, like this:
posledela

Answer: The value of the equilibrium constant Kc for this reaction is 3.72

Explanation:

Equilibrium concentration of HNO_3 = \frac{15.5g}{63g/mol\times 9.5L}=0.026M

Equilibrium concentration of NO = \frac{16.6g}{30g/mol\times 9.5L}=0.058M

Equilibrium concentration of NO_2 = \frac{22.5g}{46g/mol\times 9.5L}=0.051M

Equilibrium concentration of H_2O = \frac{189.0g}{18g/mol\times 9.5L}=1.10M

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as K_c  

For the given chemical reaction:

2HNO_3(aq)+NO(g)\rightarrow 3NO_2(g)+H_2O(l)

The expression for K_c is written as:

K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^3\times [H_2O]^1}{[HNO_3]^2\times [NO]^1}

K_c=\frac{(0.051)^3\times (1.10)^1}{(0.026)^2\times (0.058)^1}

K_c=3.72

Thus  the value of the equilibrium constant Kc for this reaction is 3.72

A stock solution of FeCl2 is available to prepare solutions that are more dilute. Calculate the volume, in mL, of a 2.0-M soluti
Harman [31]

Answer:

31.5mL

Explanation:

The following were obtained from the question:

C1 (concentration of stock solution) = 2M

V1 (volume of stock solution) =.?

C2 (concentration of diluted solution) = 0.630M

V2 (volume of diluted solution) = 100mL

Using the dilution formula C1V1 = C2V2, the volume of the stock solution needed can be obtained as follow:

C1V1 = C2V2

2 x V1 = 0.630 x 100

Divide both side by 2

V1 = (0.630 x 100) /2

V1 = 31.5mL

Therefore, 31.5mL of 2M solution of FeCl2 required

frez [133]

Answer:

Heterogeneous mixture

Explanation:

A homogeneous mixture is defined as a mixture in which the constituents of the mixture are uniformly distributed. A typical example of a homogeneous mixture is when a salt is dissolved in water.

A heterogeneous mixture refers to a kind of mixture whereby the composition of the mixture is not uniform. A typically example of a heterogeneous mixture is non-homogenized milk.

Since non-homogenized milk is not homogeneous, the cream rises to the top and separates from the rest of the mixture because the emulsion has not been stabilized. However, homogenized milk is just milk whose emulsion has been stabilized the cream does not separate when left to stand.
