How many liters of 4.0 M NaOH solution will react with 1.2 mol H2SO4? (Remember to balance the equation.)
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The answer is D. 0.60 L

Explanation:

The balanced reaction equation including states of matter is;

H₂SO₄(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Na₂SO₄(aq) + 2H₂O(l)

More simple:

H2SO4 + 2NaOH → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Now, we can see from this reaction equation that the mole ratio of NaOH to H2SO4 is 2:1

Number of moles of H2SO4 reacted = 1.2 moles

Hence;

2 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of H2SO4

x moles of NaOH reacts with 1.2 moles of H2SO4

x = 2 * 1.2/1 = 2.4 moles of NaOH

Recall that;

Number of moles = Concentration * Volume

Volume = number of moles/concentration

Volume of NaOH  is obtained from;

Volume = 2.4 moles/ 4.0 M

Volume =  0.60 L

A student constructs a coffee cup calorimeter and places 50.0 mL of water into it. After a brief period of stabilization, the te
Grace [21]

Answer:

The calorimeter constant is  = 447 J/°C

Explanation:

The heat absorbed or released (Q) by water can be calculated with the following expression:

Q = c × m × ΔT

where,

c is the specific heat

m is the mass

ΔT is the change in temperature

The water that is initially in the calorimeter (w₁) absorbs heat while the water that is added (w₂) later releases heat. The calorimeter also absorbs heat.

The heat absorbed by the calorimeter (Q) can be calculated with the following expression:

Q = C × ΔT

where,

C is the calorimeter constant

The density of water is 1.00 g/mL so 50.0 mL = 50.0 g. The sum of the heat absorbed and the heat released is equal to zero (conservation of energy).

Qabs + Qrel = 0

Qabs = - Qrel

Qcal + Qw₁ = - Qw₂

Qcal = - (Qw₂ + Qw₁)

Ccal . ΔTcal = - (cw . mw₁ . ΔTw₁ + cw . mw₂ . ΔTw₂)

Ccal . (30.31°C - 22.6°C) = - [(4.184 J/g.°C) × 50.0 g × (30.31°C - 22.6°C) +  (4.184 J/g.°C) × 50.0 g × (30.31°C - 54.5°C)]

Ccal  = 447 J/°C

A barium hydroxide solution is prepared by dissolving 2.06 g of Ba(OH)2 in water to make 32.9 mL of solution. What is the concen
navik [9.2K]

Answer:  1.36 M

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

n = moles of solute

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

moles of solute= \frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{2.06g}{171g/mol}=0.0120moles

Molarity=\frac{0.0120\times 1000}{32.9}=0.364M

The balanced reaction between barium hydroxide and perchloric acid:

2HCIO_4+Ba(OH_)2\rightarrow BaCIO_4+2H_2O

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HClO_4

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is Ba(OH)_2

We are given:

n_1=1\\M_1=?\\V_1=8.50mL\\n_2=2\\M_2=0.364M\\V_2=15.9mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1\times M_1\times 8.50=2\times 0.364\times 15.9\\\\M_1=1.36M

Thus the concentration of the acid is 1.36 M

What kind of properties can only be observed when a substance changes into a different substance?
Shkiper50 [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3><h2>Chemical properties</h2><h3>Explanation:</h3>

By its very definition, a chemical property is one which is exhibited as a result of a chemical reaction. This may happen during or after the reaction. This is because in a chemical reaction there is a transformation in the physical composition of the components and this directly affects its chemical properties.

When people conserve electricity, power plants do not need to produce as much electricity because there is less demand for it.
almond37 [142]

True

Explanation:

When people conserve electricity, power plants do not need to produce as much electricity because there is less demand for it.

This very correct.

  • When electricity is used in a sustainable way, there is little of it consumed.
  • Switching off idle electronics would make that amount of electric current to be re-distributed to another place.
  • Less coal and fuel would be used and power plants do not need to produce as much electricity.
  • Most electricity produced in power plants are often wasted due to idle appliances consuming the bulk of them.
  • When these appliances are turned off, less energy is in demand and less will be produced.
