What does hydrochloric acid do

Chemistry
2 answers:
marta [7]2 years ago

Answer:

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is commonly used for the neutralization of alkaline agents, as a bleaching agent, in food, textile, metal, and rubber industries. It is neutralized if released into the soil and it rapidly hydrolyzes when exposed to water. Skin exposure to low concentrations of hydrogen chloride gas or hydrochloric acid causes erythema and inflammation of the skin whereas high concentrations can cause severe chemical burns to the skin and mucous membranes.

Hydrogen gas, iodine vapor, hydrogen iodine are mixed in a flask and heated to 696°C. H2(g) + I2(g) ⇋ 2 HI(g) Kc = 52 at 696°C I
Anettt [7]

Answer: The equilibrium concentration of hydrogen gas is 0.0269 M

Explanation:

The chemical reaction follows the equation:

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

At t = 0          0.044M     0.044M              0.177M  

At t=t_{eq}    (0.044-x)M    (0.044-x)M      (0.177+x)M

The expression for K_c for the given reaction follows:

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

We are given:

K_c=52

Putting values in above equation, we get:

52=\frac{(0.177+x)^2}{(0.044-x)^2}

x=0.0171M

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of hydrogen gas is (0.044-x) M =(0.044-0.0171) M= 0.0269 M

The bomb calorimeter in Exercise 102 is filled with 987g water. The initial temperature of the calorimeter contents is 23.32. A
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

25.907°C

Explanation:

In Exercise 102, heat capacity of bomb calorimeter is 6.660 kJ/°C

The heat of combustion of benzoic acid is equivalent to the total heat energy released to the bomb calorimeter and water in the calorimeter.

Thus:

-q_{combust} = q_{water} + q_{calori}

q_{combust} = heat of combustion of benzoic acid

q_{water} = heat energy released to water

q_{calori} = heat energy released to the calorimeter

Therefore,

-m_{combust}*H_{combust} = [m_{water}*c_{water} + C_{calori}]*(T_{f} - T_{i})

1.056*26.42 = [0.987*4.18 + 6.66](T_{f} - 23.32)

27.8995 = [4.12566+6.660](T_{f} - 23.32)

(T_{f} - 23.32) = 27.8995/10.7857 = 2.587

T_{f} = 23.32 + 2.587 = 25.907°C
