Compare the reactivity between lithium and sodium towards oxygen.

1 answer:

7 0

Reactivity of Group 1 and 2 elements increases as you go down the periodic table. So sodium is more reactive than lithium. Sodium will react with oxygen forming Na2O (sodium oxide). Lithium forms lithium oxide (Li2O).

How many formula units of CaO are in 32.7 g of CaO?

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

3.51× 10²³ formula units

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CaO = 32.7 g

Number of formula units = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of moles.

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 32.7 g/ 56.1 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.583 mol

Number of formula units:

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ formula units

0.583 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ formula units / 1 mol

3.51× 10²³ formula units

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

What is the empirical formula for a compound that is 83.7% carbon and 16.3% hydrogen?

zubka84 [21]

Hello!

We use the amount in grams (mass ratio) based on the composition of the elements, see: (in 100 g solution)

C: 83.7% = 83,7 g
H: 16.3% = 16.3 g

Let us use the above mentioned data (in g) and values will be converted to amount of substance (number of moles) by dividing by molecular mass (g / mol) each of the values, lets see:

$C: \dfrac{83.7\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g}{12\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g/mol} \approx 6.975\:mol$

$H: \dfrac{16.3\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g}{1\:\diagup\!\!\!\!\!g/mol} = 16.3\:mol$

We note that the values found above are not integers, so let's divide these values by the smallest of them, so that the proportion is not changed, let's see:

$C: \dfrac{6.975}{6.975} = 1$

$H: \dfrac{16.3}{6.975} \approx 2.3$

Note: So the ratio in the smallest whole numbers of carbon to hydrogen is 3:7, t<span>hus, the minimum or empirical formula found for the compound will be:
</span>
$\boxed{\boxed{C_3H_7}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark$

I hope this helps. =)

Iron (III) oxide reacts with solid carbon in the followed reaction: 2Fe2O3(s) + 3C(s) → 4Fe(s) + 3CO2(g) What mass of Fe2O3 is n

Veseljchak [2.6K]

953.6 g of iron (III) oxide (Fe₂O₃)

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

2 Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3 C (s) → 4 Fe (s) + 3 CO₂ (g)

We calculate the number of moles of CO₂ by using the following formula:

pressure × volume = number of moles × gas constant × temperature

number of moles = (pressure × volume) / (gas constant × temperature)

number of moles of CO₂ = (2.1 × 100) / (0.082 × 300)

number of moles of CO₂ = 8.54 moles

Taking in account the chemical reaction we devise the following reasoning:

if 2 mole of Fe₂O₃ produces 3 mole of CO₂

then X moles of Fe₂O₃ produces 8.54 mole of CO₂

X = (2 × 8.54) / 3 = 5.69 moles of Fe₂O₃

number of moles = mass / molar weight

mass = number of moles × molar weight

mass of Fe₂O₃ = 5.69 × 160 = 953.6 g

Gaseous hydrogen iodide is placed in a closed container at 425∘C, where it partially decomposes to hydrogen and iodine: 2HI(g)⇌H

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

0.0184

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reaction at equilibrium.

2 HI(g) ⇌ H₂(g) + I₂(g)

The concentration equilibrium constant (Kc) is equal to the product of the concentration of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the product of the concentration of the reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.

Kc = [H₂] × [I₂] / [HI]²

Kc = (4.78 × 10⁻⁴) × (4.78 × 10⁻⁴) / (3.52 × 10⁻³)²

Kc = 0.0184
