Explanation:

One mole of Na2SO4 contains 1 mol of S.

Step 1: Find out the moles of Na2SO4:

10.8 g Na2SO4/MM Na2SO4

Step2: Find out the moles of S:

moles S = moles Na2SO4

Step 3: Find out the mass of S.

mass S = moles S x MM S

Dimensional analysis:

? g S = 10.8 g Na2SO4 x (1mol Na2SO4/MM Na2SO4) x (1mol S/1mol Na2SO4) x (MM S/ 1 mol S) = (10.8/142.04)x32.1 = 2.44 g S

Explanation:

Chemical substance which has a triple covalent bond is carbon monoxide.

What is a covalent bond?

Covalent bond is defined as a type of bond which is formed by the mutual sharing of electrons to form electron pairs between the two atoms.These electron pairs are called as bonding pairs or shared pair of electrons.

Due to the sharing of valence electrons , the atoms are able to achieve a stable electronic configuration . Covalent bonding involves many types of interactions like σ bonding,π bonding ,metal-to-metal bonding ,etc.

Sigma bonds are the strongest covalent bonds while the pi bonds are weaker covalent bonds .Covalent bonds are affected by electronegativities of the atoms present in the molecules.Compounds having covalent bonds have lower melting points as compared to those with ionic bonds.

Answer:

K = 8.6x10⁻⁶

Explanation:

a chemist finds that a 5.2L reaction vessel...

To solve this question we need first to find the equation of the equilibrium constant using the chemical eqiation:

TiCl₄(l) ⇄ Ti(s) + 2Cl₂(g)

The equilibrium constant expression is:

K = [Cl₂]²

Because equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio berween concentrationa of products over reactant powered to its reaction coefficient. But pure liquids as TiCl₄(l) and pure solids as Ti(s) are not taken into account

Now, we need to find the molar concentration of Cl₂, [Cl₂]:

Moles Cl₂ -Molar mass: 70.9g/mol-:

1.08g * (1mol / 70.9g) = 0.0152 moles / 5.2L =

2.93x10⁻³M = [Cl₂]

K = (2.93x10⁻³)²

K = 8.6x10⁻⁶

c) Final volume of a 0.05M solution prepared by diluting 10.0 cm3
of 0.155 M lithium
carbonate with water

Answers

Answer:

A. 0.027 M

B. 0.0054 M

C. 31 cm³

Explanation:

A. Determination of the final concentration (Molarity)

Initial Volume (V₁) = 27 cm³

Initial concentration (C₁) = 0.150 M

Final volume (V₂) = 150 cm³

Final congratulation (C₂) =?

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

0.150 × 27 = C₂ × 150

4.05 = C₂ × 150

Divide both side by 150

C₂ = 4.05 / 150

C₂ = 0.027 M

Thus, the final concentration of the solution is 0.027 M

B. Determination of the final concentration (Molarity)

Initial Volume (V₁) = 35.71 cm³

Initial concentration (C₁) = 0.0756 M

Final volume (V₂) = 500 cm³

Final congratulation (C₂) =?

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

0.0756 × 35.71 = C₂ × 500

Divide both side by 500

C₂ = (0.0756 × 35.71) / 500

C₂ = 0.0054 M

Thus, the final concentration of the solution is 0.0054 M

C. Determination of the final volume.

Initial Volume (V₁) = 10 cm³

Initial concentration (C₁) = 0.155 M

Final congratulation (C₂) = 0.05 M

Final volume (V₂) =?

C₁V₁ = C₂V₂

0.155 × 10 = 0.05 × V₂

1.55 = 0.05 × V₂

Divide both side by 0.05

V₂ = 1.55 / 0.05

V₂ = 31 cm³

Thus, the final volume of the solution is 31 cm³

The volume of a gas is 18.6 L at 0.10 atm and 273 K. Calculate the pressure in
atms of the gas if its volume is changed to 1000 ml while the temperature remains
constant?

Answers

Answer:

1.86 atm

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial volume (V₁) = 18.6 L

Initial pressure (P₁) = 0.10 atm

Final volume (V₂) = 1000 mL

Final pressure (P₂) =?

NOTE: The temperature is constant.

Next, we shall convert 1000 mL to L.

1000 mL = 1 L

Finally, we shall determine the final pressure of the gas as follow:

Initial volume (V₁) = 18.6 L

Initial pressure (P₁) = 0.10 atm

Final volume (V₂) = 1 L

Final pressure (P₂) =?

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

18.6 × 0.10 = P₂ × 1

1.86 = P₂

P₂ = 1.86 atm

Thus, the final pressure of the gas is 1.86 atm

You want to decaffeinate your coffee by extracting the caffeine out with dichloromethane (they don't do it that way anymore, but they used to). It's too late to extract the caffeine from the coffee beans, because you've already brewed yourself a 200 mL cup of coffee. Your particular brand of coffee contains 100 mg of caffeine in that 200 mL cup. The partition coefficient of caffeine in dichloromethane/water is 9.0 (it is more soluble in the dichloromethane).
How much caffeine would still be in your 200 mL if you did:_____.
A. One extraction using 200 mL ofdichloromethane
B. Two extractions using 100 mL ofdichloromethan each.

Answers

Solution :

Partition coefficient Kd

[tex]$=\frac{\frac{\text{mass of caffeine in } CH_2Cl_2}{\text{volume of } CH_2Cl_2}}{\frac{\text{mass of caffeine in water}}{\text{volume of water}}}$[/tex]

= 9.0

A). 1 x 200 mL extraction :

Let m be the mass of caffeine in the water

Mass of caffeine in [tex]$CH_2Cl_2$[/tex] = 100 - m

[tex]$\frac{\frac{100-m}{200}}{\frac{m}{200}} = 9.0$[/tex]

[tex]$=\frac{100-m}{m} = 9.0$[/tex]

[tex]$= 10 m = 100$[/tex]

m = 10

Mass remaining in coffee = m =  10 mg

B). 2 x 100 mL extraction :

First extraction :

Let [tex]$m_1$[/tex] be the mass of caffeine in the water

Mass of caffeine in [tex]$CH_2Cl_2$[/tex] = [tex]$100-m_1$[/tex]

[tex]$\frac{\frac{100-m_1}{100}}{\frac{m_1}{200}} = 9.0$[/tex]

[tex]$=\frac{100-m_1}{m_1} = 4.5$[/tex]

[tex]$ 5.5 \ m_1 = 100$[/tex]

[tex]$m_1$[/tex]  = 18.18

Mass remaining in coffee = [tex]$m_1$[/tex] =  18.18 mg

Second Extraction :

Let [tex]$m_2$[/tex] be the mass of caffeine in the water

Mass of caffeine in [tex]$CH_2Cl_2$[/tex] = [tex]$18.18-m_2$[/tex]

[tex]$\frac{\frac{18.18-m_2}{100}}{\frac{m_2}{200}} = 9.0$[/tex]

[tex]$=\frac{18.18-m_2}{m_2} = 4.5$[/tex]

[tex]$ 5.5 \ m_2 = 18.18$[/tex]

[tex]$m_2$[/tex]  = 3.3

Mass remaining in coffee = [tex]$m_2$[/tex] =  3.3 mg

where,

x = given mass

M = molar mass

[tex]V_s[/tex] = volume of solution in L

Equilibrium concentration of [tex]CaCO_3[/tex] = [tex]\frac{25.3}{100\times 9.0}=0.028M[/tex]

Equilibrium concentration of [tex]CaO[/tex] = [tex]\frac{14.9}{56\times 9.0}=0.029M[/tex]

A 50.0-mL volume of 0.15 M HBr is titrated with 0.25 M KOH. Calculate the pH after the addition of 13.0 mL of KOH. Express your answer numerically.

Answers

Answer:

pH= 1.17

Explanation:

The neutralization reaction between HBr (acid) and KOH (base) is given by the following equation:

HBr(aq) + KOH(aq) → KBr(aq) + H₂O(l)

According to this equation, 1 mol of HBr reacts with 1 mol of KOH. Then, the moles can be expressed as the product between the molarity of the acid/base solution (M) and the volume in liters (V). So, we calculate the moles of acid and base:

Acid:

M(HBr) = 0.15 M = 0.15 mol/L

V(HBr) = 50.0 mL x 1 L/1000 mL = 0.05 L

moles of HBr = M(HBr) x V(HBr) = 0.15 mol/L x 0.05 L = 7.5 x 10⁻³ moles HBr

Base:

M(KOH) = 0.25 M = 0.25 mol/L

V(HBr) = 13.0 mL x 1 L/1000 mL = 0.013 L

moles of HBr = M(HBr) x V(HBr) = 0.25 mol/L x 0.013 L = 3.25 x 10⁻³ moles KOH

Now, we have: 7.5 x 10⁻³ moles HBr > 3.25 x 10⁻³ moles KOH

HBr is a strong acid and KOH is a strong base, so they are completely dissociated in water: the acid produces H⁺ ions and the base produces OH⁻ ions. So, the difference between the moles of HBr and the moles of KOH is equal to the moles of remaining H⁺ ions after neutralization:

moles of H⁺ = 7.5 x 10⁻³ moles HBr - 3.25 x 10⁻³ moles KOH = 4.25 x 10⁻³ moles H⁺

From the definition of pH:

pH = -log [H⁺]

The concentration of H⁺ ions is calculated from the moles of H⁺ divided into the total volume:

total volume = V(HBr) + V(KOH) = 0.05 L + 0.013 L = 0.063 L

[H⁺] = (moles of H⁺)/(total volume) = 4.25 x 10⁻³ moles/0.063 L = 0.067 M

Finally, we calculate the pH after neutralization:

pH = -log [H⁺] = -log (0.067) = 1.17

I have a balloon that can hold 100. liters
of air. If I blow up this balloon with 3.0
moles of oxygen gas at a pressure of 1.0
atmosphere, what is the temperature of
the balloon?

Answers

Answer:

T = 4.062V

Explanation:

from PV = nRT => T = PV/RT

P = 1 atm

V = Final Volume

n = 3 moles

R = 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K

T = ?

T = 1 atm · V(Liters)/(3 moles)(0.08206L·atm/mol·K) = 4.062·V(final) Kelvin

The temperature of the balloon is 406 K

We'll begin by listing out what was given from the question. This is shown below:

Volume (V) = 100 L

Mole of oxygen (n) = 3 moles

Pressure (P) = 1 atm

Temperature (T) =?

We can obtain the temperature of the balloon by using the ideal gas equation as shown below:

PV = nRTNOTE:

P is the pressure.

V is the volume.

n is the number of mole

R is the gas constant (0.0821 atm.L/Kmol)

T is the temperature.

Applying the ideal gas equation, we have:

PV = nRT

1 × 100 = 3 × 0.0821 × T

100 = 0.2463 × T

Divide both side by 0.2463

T = 100 / 0.2463

T = 406 K

Therefore, the temperature of the balloon is 406 K
