The mass of water decomposed to produce 50 g oxygen has been 56.28 g. Thus, option D is correct.

The reaction for the decomposition of water has been:

\rm 2\;H_2O\;\rightarrow\;H_2\;+\;O_2

From the balanced equation, 2 moles of water decomposes to form 1 moles of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen.

The mass of oxygen produced has been 50 g. The moles of oxygen has been given by:

\rm Moles=\dfrac{mass}{molar\;mass}

The moles of oxygen has been:

\rm Moles_O_2=\dfrac{50}{32}\;mol\\Moles_O_2=1.5625\;mol

The moles of oxygen produced has been 1.5625 mol.

The moles of hydrogen decomposed has been given from the balanced chemical equation as:

\rm 1 \;mole\;O_2=2\;mole\;H_2O\\1.5625\;mol\;O_2=1.5625\;\times\;2\;mol\;H_2O\\1.5625\;mol\;O_2=3.125\;mol\;H_2O

The moles of hydrogen decomposes has been 3.125 mol.

The mass of hydrogen decomposed has been given by:

\rm Mass=moles\;times\;molar\;mass\\Mass_{H_2O}=3.125\;\times\;18.01\;g\\Mass_{H_2O}=56.28\;g

The mass of water decomposed to produce 50 g oxygen has been 56.28 g. Thus, option D is correct.

In an isothermal gas chromatography experiment using an ECD detector, 1.69 nmols of nchlorohexane, C6H13Cl, was added as an inte
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The amount of Chlorodecane in the unknown is 0.105nmols

Explanation:

a) Since the GC is in an isothermal state, Chlorohexane C6H13Cl (1.69 nmols) because of its lower boiling point will elute first and Chlorodecane C12H21Cl will elute second.

The area of the first peak corresponding to Chlorohexane is 32434 units.

The area of the second peak corresponding to chlorodecane is 2022 units.

Since the response factor of the compound is not given in question and considering the response factor is same for both the compounds, the answer will be as follow:

1.69 nmols of Chlorohexane gives 32434 units

How much of chlorodecane gives 2022 units

By cross multiplication;

Moles of Chlorodecane = 2022*1.69/32434

                                         =0.105nmols

In the reaction FeCl2 + 2NaOH ->Fe(OH)2(s) + 2NaCl, if 6 moles of FeCl2 are added to 6 moles of Na0H, how many moles of NaOH
pogonyaev

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 6 mole

Explanation :

Given moles of FeCl_2 = 6 moles

Given moles of NaOH = 6 moles

First we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

FeCl_2+2NaOH\rightarrow Fe(OH)_2+2NaCl

From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 moles of FeCl_2 react with 2 moles of NaOH

So, 6 moles of FeCl_2 react with \frac{2}{1}\times 6=12 moles of NaOH

From this we conclude that, FeCl_2 is an excess reagent and NaOH is a limiting reagent because the given moles are less than the required moles and it limits the formation of product.

Thus, the number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction = Required moles of NaOH - Given moles of NaOH

The number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction = 12 - 6 = 6 moles

Therefore, the number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction will be, 60 moles

How can i toast a marshmallow using convection ?
Elina [12.6K]
Convection is where the heat source heats the air, and the air transfers the heat to object. Some people prefer to heat their marshmallow through convection, this is achieved by holding the marshmallow high above the flames where the heated air is rising, transforing the heat into the marshmallow.

Use the given half reactions to "construct" an electrolytic cell. Zn^2+ + 2 e^--------->Zn E°cell = -0.76 V Cu^2+ + 2 e^-----
Neko [114]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

The standard cell potential at 298 K is given by;

E°cathode - E°anode

Hence;

E°cell = 0.34 V - (-0.76 V)

E°cell = 0.34 V + 0.76 V

E°cell = 1.1 V

To reduce Zn^2+ to Zn then Zn must be the cathode, hence;

E°cell = (-0.76 V) - 0.34 V

E°cell = -1.1 V
