Homework 1

Problem Solving

1. Kelvin and Xavier were doing an investigation on parachutes. One of them suggested that the type of material the parachute was made from had an effect on how long it took to reach the ground. Their results are given in

the table below.

(a) Calculate the average time in seconds for each material.

Time taken for parachute to reach the ground (seconds)

MATERIAL

In the reaction fecl2 + 2naoh fe(oh)2(s) + 2nacl, if 6 moles of fecl2 are added to 6 moles of naoh, how many moles of fecl2 woul
pychu [463]
The balanced chemical reaction would be 

<span>fecl2 + 2naoh =  fe(oh)2(s) + 2nacl

Initial amounts of the reactants are given, so, we need to determine which of the reactants is the limiting reactant and use this amount to determine what is asked. However, what is being asked is how many of the FeCl2 is used in the reaction, showing that it is NaOH that is the limiting reactants. Thus, we just use the initial amount of NaOH and relate the substances by the chemical reaction as follows:

6 mol NaOH ( 1 mol FeCl2 / 2 mol NaOH ) = 3 mol FeCl2

Therefore, 3 moles of FeCl2 is used up and 3 moles of FeCl2 is also left after the reaction.</span>

marin [14]

Answer:

0.499atm

Explanation:

The formula is

P1/V1 = P2/V2

so:

1.26atm/7.40L = P2/2.93L

then:

(1.26atm/7.40L)*2.93L = P2

= 0.4988918911atm

the answer must have 3 sig figs
