Decide whether a chemical reaction happens in either of the following situations. If a reaction does happen, write the chemical

sineoko [7]

Explanation:

A strip of solid palladium metal is put into a beaker of nicl2

Palladium (Pd) + Nickel Chloride (NiCl2)

To answer this question properly you must refer to the reactivity series.

The activity series is a chart of metals listed in order of declining relative reactivity. The top metals are more reactive than the metals on the bottom.

In this series, Nickel is higher than Palladium. This means that if a Palladium strip is placed into a solution of a Ni salt, then a reaction will not take place, nothing would happen.

Because Pd is lower than Ni in the reactivity series.

There is no reaction so no equation.

How are models useful in describing how molecules are formed

Nady [450]

Answer:

The purpose of molecular modeling is to provide a three-dimensional image (either physical or software-based) that allows a chemist to better see the manner in which atoms and molecules can interact. These models can be used to interpret existing observations or to predict new chemical behavior.

Explanation:

It can describe shape and how they connect while forming the electrons.

Determine the theoretical yield of HCl if 60.0 g of BC13 and 37.5 g of H20 are reacted according to the following balanced react

Pie

Answer : The theoretical yield of HCl is, 56.1735 grams

Explanation : Given,

Mass of $BCl_3$ = 60 g

Mass of $H_2O$ = 37.5 g

Molar mass of $BCl_3$ = 117 g/mole

Molar mass of $H_2O$ = 18 g/mole

Molar mass of $HCl$ = 36.5 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of $BCl_3$ and $H_2O$ .

$\text{Moles of }BCl_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }BCl_3}{\text{Molar mass of }BCl_3}=\frac{60g}{117g/mole}=0.513moles$

$\text{Moles of }H_2O=\frac{\text{Mass of }H_2O}{\text{Molar mass of }H_2O}=\frac{37.5g}{18g/mole}=2.083moles$

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

$BCl_3(g)+3H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_3BO_3(s)+3HCl(g)$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of $BCl_3$ react with 3 mole of $H_2O$

So, 0.513 moles of $BCl_3$ react with $3\times 0.513=1.539$ moles of $H_2O$

From this we conclude that, $H_2O$ is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and $BCl_3$ is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of $HCl$ .

As, 1 mole of $BCl_3$ react to give 3 moles of $HCl$

So, 0.513 moles of $BCl_3$ react to give $3\times 0.513=1.539$ moles of $HCl$

Now we have to calculate the mass of $HCl$ .

$\text{Mass of }HCl=\text{Moles of }HCl\times \text{Molar mass of }HCl$

$\text{Mass of }HCl=(1.539mole)\times (36.5g/mole)=56.1735g$

Therefore, the theoretical yield of HCl is, 56.1735 grams
