Answer:

The balanced net ionic equation is as follows:

CrO₄²- (aq) + 3 N₂O (g) + 2 H+ (aq) ----> Cr³+ (aq) + 6 NO (g) + H₂O (l)

The oxidizing agent is CrO₄²- as Cr⁶+ in CrO₄²- is reduced to Cr³+.

The reducing agent is N₂O as the nitrogen (i) is oxidized to nitrogen (ii).

Explanation:

The skeleton equation is given as follows:

CrO₄²- (aq) + N₂O(g)+ H+(aq) + OH-(aq) + H2O(l) ----> Cr³+(aq) + NO(g) + H+(aq) + OH-(aq) + H₂O(l)

The balanced net ionic equation with the spectator ions removed is as follows:

CrO₄²- (aq) + 3 N₂O (g) + 2 H+ (aq) ----> Cr³+ (aq) + 6 NO (g) + H₂O (l)

In a redox reaction, oxidizing agents are reduced while reducing agents are oxidized.

The oxidizing agent is CrO₄²- as Cr⁶+ in CrO₄²- is reduced to Cr³+.

One mole of CrO₄²- accepts three moles of electrons from three moles of N₂O to become reduced to 1 mole of Cr³+.

The reducing agent is N₂O as the nitrogen (i) is oxidized to nitrogen (ii).

Three moles of N₂O will each donate one mole of electrons to one mole of CrO₄²- to become oxidized to nitrogen (ii) oxide.

Hydrogen ions and a water molecule is added to the left-hand side and right-hand side of the equation respectively, in order to balance the number of oxygen atoms in the equation of the reaction.

Explanation:

maleic acid ⇒ fumaric acid

ΔHreaction = ΔHproduct - ΔHreactant

ΔHproduct = -1336.0 kJ mol⁻¹

ΔHreactant = - 1359.2 kJ mol⁻¹.

ΔHreaction = -1336.0 kJ mol⁻¹ - ( - 1359.2 kJ mol⁻¹.)

=   1359.2 kJ mol⁻¹   -1336.0 kJ mol⁻¹

= 23.2 kJ mol⁻¹ .

Enthalpy of isomerization from maleic to fumaric acid is 23.2 kJ per mol.

Answer:

Every atom of a given element has the same number of protons

The protons in the nucleus of the helium atom are held together by a force called the strong nuclear force.

Explanation:

Atoms are composed of electrons, protons and neutrons. The electron is negatively charged, protons are positively charged and the neutrons have no charge.

Electrons are found in shells while protons are found inside the atomic nucleus. Similar to electrostatic forces between electron and proton, protons of helium are held together by a strong nuclear blinding force.

Note that, all isotopes must have the same atomic number. This shows that they are all the same atom changed by differences in number of neutrons.

Answer:

c. C3H9N2O2

Explanation:

The empirical formula of a compound is defined as the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in a molecule. To solve this question we need to convert the mass of each atom to moles. With the moles we can find the ratio as follows:

Moles N -Molar mass: 14.01g/mol-

0.420g N * (1mol/14.01g) = 0.0300 moles N

Moles O -Molar mass: 16g/mol-

0.480g O * (1mol/16g) = 0.0300 moles O

Moles C -Molar mass: 12.01g/mol-

0.540g C * (1mol/12.01g) = 0.0450 moles C

Moles H -Molar mass: 1.0g/mol-

0.135g H * (1mol/1g) = 0.135moles H

Dividing in the moles of N (Lower number of moles) the ratio of atoms is:

N = 0.0300 moles N / 0.0300 moles N = 1

O = 0.0300 moles O / 0.0300 moles N = 1

C = 0.0450 moles C / 0.0300 moles N = 1.5

H = 0.135 moles H / 0.0300 moles N = 4.5

As the empirical formula requires whole numbers, multiplying each ratio twice:

N = 2, O = 2, C = 3 and H = 9

And the empirical formula is:

The properties of solids, liquids and gases regarding their shapes and volumes are:

                       Shape             Volume

Solids              Fixed                Fixed

Liquids           Variable            Fixed

Gases             Variable           Variable

Solids have strong attraction forces between their molecules. Thus, the molecules are closely packed with little movement. As a consequence, both shape and volume are fixed.

In liquids, attraction and repulsion forces are similar. They have a little more movement than the solid state. Then, they do have a fixed volume but they adopt the shape of the container.

Gases have very weak attraction forces between their molecules. They move very freely and expand trying to occupy as much volume as possible. So, they have a variable volume and shape (adopt the shape of the container).

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Truly, the second law of thermodynamics requires that spontaneous processes generate entropy, either in the system or in the surroundings.

When a solid is dissolved in a liquid, the solid dissociates into ions. These ions increases the number of particles and hence the entropy of the system thereby making the process spontaneous.

Hence, the dissolution of a substance via an endothermic process is spontaneous because of increase in the number of particles which in turn increases the entropy of the system.

Answer:

heat; temperature; surrounding; insulated.

Explanation:

A calorimeter can be defined as a scientific instrument (device) that is designed and developed for measurement of the heat involved in chemical reactions or other processes, especially by taking the measurement of the temperature of the materials surrounding the process.

Basically, a calorimeter is insulated using materials with a very high level of resistivity, so as to prevent heat transfer to the outside of the device (calorimeter).

Some of the components that make up a simple calorimeter are; thermometer, an interior styrofoam cup, an exterior styrofoam cup, cover, etc.

Additionally, a calorie refers to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a gram of water by one degree Celsius (°C)

A calorimeter measures the heat involved in reactions or other processes by measuring the temperature of the materials surrounding the process. The calorimeter is insulated to prevent transfer of heat to outside the device.

Calorimeter is an instrument used in chemical reactions for measuring the heat, physical changes as well as heat capacity of the chemical reaction.

From the definition of calorimeter it is clear that it checks the temperature of the reaction and calculates the heat of the chemical reaction. It is insulated by those materials which are bad conductors of heat so that no heat will loss from this apparatus.

Hence, correct options are heat, temperature, surroundings and insulated.

Decrease

Explanation:While in solution, ionic substances produce ions. The ions in solution determine the conductivity of the solution.

The ionic strength of a solution shows the concentration of ions in a given solution. The more the number of ions in the solution, the greater the ionic strength of the solution and vice versa.

When HNO3 is added to a solution of KOH, the number of ions in the solution increases and so does the ionic strength of the solution.

When KOH is added to a solution of CaCl2 then Ca(OH)2 is formed. The formation of a solid precipitate decreases the concentration of ions in solution as well as the ionic strength of the solution.

Answer:

i. HCIO2 - 2.9

ii. CH3COOH - 2.64

iii. HF - 3.27

iv. HNO2 - 2.67

Explanation:

The Ph value differ for base and acid. A neutral solution will have Ph value of 7. For acid the Ph value is less than 7 and for base Ph value is greater than 7. The highest Ph value for the given acids is 3.27 for hydroflouric acids.

The pH of the resulting solution is 3.16. Acetic acid having the formula [tex]CH_3COOH[/tex] would produce the highest pH at the equivalence point in a weak acid-strong base titration.

Kingsley adds 49.28 mL of NaOH to 250.00 mL of the HCOOH solution.

The neutralization reaction resulted in 0.098 moles of HCOOH and 0.025 moles of HCOO⁻ left in the solution.

We have to determine the pH of the resulting solution and identify the acid that would produce the highest pH at the equivalence point in a weak acid-strong base titration.

pH, a quantitative measure of the acidity or basicity of aqueous or other liquid solutions.

Kingsley adds 49.28 mL of NaOH to 250.00 mL of the HCOOH solution.

Total volume of the solution = 49.28 mL + 250.0 mL = 299.28 mL = 0.29928 L

At neutralization point, HCOOH = 0.098 mol = [tex]\frac{0.098\ mol}{0.29928\ L} = 0.32745\ M[/tex]

So, Concentration of HCOOH at neutralization point = 0.32745 M

And [tex]HCOO^-[/tex] at neutralization point = 0.025 mol = [tex]\frac{0.025\ mol}{0.29928\ L} = 0.08353\ M[/tex]

So, Concentration of HCOO⁻ at neutralization point = 0.08353 M

Now, [tex]K_a[/tex] value of HCOOH = [tex]1.77\times10^{-4}[/tex] (reference value}

We know that [tex]pK_a = -logK_a[/tex]

[tex]pK_a = -log(1.77\times10^{-4}) = 3.75[/tex]

Now, HCOOH  is acid and HCOO⁻ is the conjugate base.

According to Henderson Hasselblach equation:

[tex]pH = pK_a + log\frac{[conjugate\ base]}{[acid]}\\ \therefore pH = 3.75 + log\frac{[HCOO^-]}{[HCOOH]}\\pH = 3.75 + log(\frac{0.08353}{0.32745})\\pH = 3.75 +(-0.59)\\pH = 3.16[/tex]

Therefore, the pH of the resulting solution is 3.16.

When weak acid is titrated with a strong base, the pH at the neutralization point is always greater than 7. It is because the conjugate base produced by weak acid in neutralization reaction is comparatively stronger in nature which produces [tex]OH^-[/tex] at neutralization point after reacting with water. so the solution is basic. As a result, pH is more than 7.

Now, the weaker is the acid, the stronger is the conjugate base, and vice-versa. Therefore, the concentration of [tex]OH^-[/tex] ions is more at the neutralization point. So more will be the pH value.

Given acids with the corresponding [tex]K_a[/tex] value are shown below:

[tex]K_a(HF) =6.8\times10^{-4}\\K_a(HNO_2) =4.5\times10^{-4}\\K_a(HClO_2) =1.1\times10^{-2}\\K_a(CH_3COOH) =1.8\times10^{-5}[/tex]

We know that lower the value of [tex]K_a[/tex] of  acid, the weaker is the acid and vice-versa. Hence, [tex]CH_3COOH[/tex] has lowest [tex]K_a[/tex] value compared to other acids. Therefore, [tex]CH_3COOH[/tex]  would  produce the highest pH at the equivalence point in a weak acid-strong base titration.

Hence, The pH of the resulting solution is 3.16. Acetic acid having the formula [tex]CH_3COOH[/tex] would produce the highest pH at the equivalence point in a weak acid-strong base titration.

Step 2: Establish the appropriate molar ratio

According to the balanced equation, the molar ratio of C₈H₁₈ to CO₂ is 1:8.

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of C₈H₁₈ needed to produce 0.050 moles of CO₂

Explanation:

First we convert 3.0 g of cyclohexanol (C₆H₁₂O) to moles, using its molar mass:

Then we convert 1.9 g of cyclohexene (C₆H₁₀) to moles, using its molar mass:

Finally we calculate the theoretical yield:

Answer:

0.696 m

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 16.7 g of C₆H₁₂O₆. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 16.7 g

Molar mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ = (6×12) + (12×1) + (6×16)

= 72 + 12 + 96

= 180 g/mol

Mole of C₆H₁₂O₆ =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 16.7 / 180

Mole of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 0.093 mole

Next, we shall convert 133.6 g of water to Kg. This can be obtained as follow:

1000 g = 1 Kg

Therefore,

133.6 g = 133.6 g × 1 Kg / 1000 g

133.6 g = 0.1336 Kg

Thus, 133.6 g is equivalent to 0.1336 Kg.

Finally, we shall determine the molality of the solution. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Mole of C₆H₁₂O₆ = 0.093 mole

Mass of water = 0.1336 Kg

Molality =?

Molality = mole / mass of water (in Kg)

Molality = 0.093 / 0.1336

Molality = 0.696 m

Therefore, the molality of the solution is 0.696 m

Answer:

Explanation:

Assume we have 100g of this substance. That means we would have 20.24g of Cl and 79.76g of Al. Now we can find how many moles of each we have:

[tex]\frac{79.76 \:g}{35.45 \: g/mol}[/tex] = 2.25 mol of chlorine

[tex]\frac{20.24 \: g}{26.98 \: g/mol}[/tex] = 0.750 mol of Al.

To form a integer ratio, do 2.25/0.75 = 2.99999 ~= 3.

So the ratio is essentially Al : Cl => 1 : 3. To the compound is possibly [tex]AlCl_3[/tex].

However, it says it has a molar mass of 266.64 g/mol, and since AlCl3 has a molar mass of 133.32, it must be [tex]Al_2Cl_6[/tex].

Actually this molecule isn't exactly AlCl3 (which is ionic). Al2Cl6 forms a banana bond where Cl acts as a hapto-2 ligand. But that's a bit advanced. All you need to know is X = Al2Cl6

The molecular formula of the compound is Al₂Cl₆

To solve the question given above, we'll begin by obtaining the empirical formula of the compound. This can be obtained as follow:

Aluminum (Al) = 20.24%

Chlorine (Cl) = 79.76%

Al = 20.24%

Cl = 79.76%

Divide by their molar mass

Al = 20.24 / 27 = 0.75

Cl = 79.76 / 35.5 = 2.25

Divide by the smallest

Al = 0.75 / 0.75 = 1

Cl = 2.25 / 0.75 = 3

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is AlCl₃

Finally, we shall determine the the molecular formula of the compound.

Molar mass of compound = 266.64 g/mol

Empirical formula = AlCl₃

[AlCl₃]ₙ = 266.64

[27 + (3×35.5)]n = 266.64

[27 + 106.5]n = 266.64

133.5n = 266.64

Divide both side by 133.5

n = 266.64 / 133.5

Molecular formula = [AlCl₃]ₙ

Molecular formula = [AlCl₃]₂

Therefore, the molecular formula of the compound is Al₂Cl₆

Explanation:

The empirical formula is defined as the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in a molecule.

To solve this question we need to find the moles of Mo2O3. Twice these moles = Moles of Mo. With the moles of Mo we can find its mass.

The difference in masses between mass of new oxide and mass of Mo = Mass of oxygen. With the mass of oxygen we can find its moles and the empirical formula as follows:

Moles Mo2O3 -Molar mass: 239.9g/mol-

12.37g * (1mol / 239.9g) = 0.05156 moles Mo2O3 * (2mol Mo / 1mol Mo2O3) = 0.1031 moles of Mo

Mass Mo -95.95g/mol-:

0.1031 moles of Mo * (95.95g/mol) = 9.895g of Mo

Mass oxygen in the oxide:

13.197 - 9.895g = 3.302g Oxygen

Moles oxygen -Molar mass: 16g/mol-:

3.302g Oxygen * (1mol / 16g) = 0.206 moles O

Now, the ratio of moles O / moles Mo is:

0.206 moles O / 0.1031 moles Mo = 2

That means there are 2 moles of O per mole of Mo and the empirical formula of the new oxide is:
