Answer:

9.17 g

Explanation:

1) Calculate mols of PCl5

PCl5 (aq) + 4H2O (l) ⟶ H3PO4 (aq) + 5HCl (aq)

Mass of PCl5: 26.5g

Molar Mass of PCl5 208.24g/mol

Mol of PCl5 = Mass PCl5 /Molar mass PCl5 = 26.5g / (208.24g/mol) = 0.127257011 mol

2) Calculate mols of water needed to react

Mols of H2O per 1 Mols of PCl5 = 4 (because 4 water is needed to Phosphorus pentachloride).

Mols of H2O = Mol of PCl5 * 4 = 0.127257011 * 4 = 0.509028044 mols

3) Calculate Grams of water needed to react

Mols of H2O = 0.509028044 mols

Molar Mass of H2O = 18.015 g/mol

Mass of H2O = Mols of H2O * Molar Mass of H2O

= 0.509028044 mols* 18.015 g/mol = 9.17014021 g

sf = 3

9.17 g

In which of the following situations is the greatest amount of work accomplished?

Dahasolnce [82]

work = force x distances

A - moving 2 newton's up 0.6 meter = 1.2 joules
B - moving 4 newton's up 0.6 meter = 2.4 joules
C - moving 6 newton's up 0.3 meter = 1.8 joules
D - moving 9 newton's up 0.3 meter = 2.7 joules
The greatest amount of work is in example D.

When calcium metal (Ca) reacts with oxygen gas (O2), it produces the ionic compound calcium oxide (CaO). Write the balanced equa

malfutka [58]

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

2Ca(s) + O₂(g) → 2CaO(s)

and

The process meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction.

From the question,

We are to write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between Calcium metal and oxygen gas

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

2Ca(s) + O₂(g) → 2CaO(s)

This is the balanced chemical equation for the reaction

To determine whether the reaction meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction,

We will define the term redox reaction

A redox reaction, also called oxidation-reduction reaction, is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a participating chemical species changes.

From the balanced equation above we can observe that the oxidation number of the participating species(Calcium and oxygen) changed.

The oxidation number of Calcium changed from 0 to +2

and

The oxidation number of Oxygen changed from 0 to -2

∴ The process meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction.

Hence, the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

2Ca(s) + O₂(g) → 2CaO(s)

and

The process meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction.

Under identical conditions, separate samples of O2 and an unknown gas were allowed to effuse through identical membranes simulta

scoray [572]

Answer:

70.77 g/mol is the molar mass of the unknown gas.

Explanation:

Effusion is defined as rate of change of volume with respect to time.

Rate of Effusion= $\frac{Volume}{Time}$

Effusion rate of oxygen gas after time t = $E=\frac{4.64 mL}{t}$

Molar mass of oxygen gas = M = 32 g/mol

Effusion rate of unknown gas after time t = $E'=\frac{3.12 mL}{t}$

Molar mass of unknown gas = M'

The rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows:

$\text{Rate of effusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}$

$\frac{E}{E'}=\sqrt{\frac{M'}{M}}$

$\frac{\frac{4.64 mL}{t}}{\frac{3.12 mL}{t}}=\sqrt{\frac{M'}{32 g/mol}}$

M' = 70.77 g/mol

70.77 g/mol is the molar mass of the unknown gas.
