Answer:
1. The dilution factor for the serial dilution = 2
2. V2 = 1 mL
3. V1 = 0.5 mL
Explanation:
1. Dilution factor is the ratio of the initial concentration to the final concentration.
Dilution factor = initial concentration / final concentration
First dilution: initial concentration = 60 mg/dL
final concentration = 30 mg/dL
Dilution factor = 60 mg/dL / 30 mg/dL = 2
Second dilution: initial concentration = 30 mg/dL
final concentration = 15 mg/dL
Dilution factor = 30 mg/dL / 15 mg/dL = 2
Therefore, the dilution factor for the serial dilution = 2
2. From the dilution formula, C1V1 = C2V2; V2 = final volume to be prepared.
Since 1 mL of the various glucose solutions are to be prepared, the final concentration, V2 = 1 mL
3. From the dilution formula, C1V1 = C2V2; V1 = initial concentration of the solution to be prepared.
C1/C2 = V2/V1
Since the dilution factor, C1/C2 is 2, V2/V1 = 2
V1 = V2/2
V1 = 1 mL / 2
V1 = 0.5 mL

Calculate the no. of moles in 15g of CaCl2
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.14 \ mol \ CaCl_2}}[/tex]
Explanation:
We are asked to calculate the number of moles of 15 grams of calcium chloride (CaCl₂).
To convert from grams to moles, we use the molar mass, or the mass of 1 mole of a substance. Molar masses are found on the Periodic Table because they are equivalent to the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units.
Look up the individual elements in the compound: calcium and chloride.
Ca: 40.08 g/mol Cl: 35.45 g/molNotice the chemical formula has a subscript of 2 after Cl or chlorine. There are 2 moles of chlorine in every 1 mole of calcium chloride. We must multiply chlorine's molar mass by 2 before adding calcium's molar mass.
Cl₂: 35.45 * 2 = 70.9 g/mol CaCl₂= 40.08 + 70.9 = 110.98 g/molWe will convert using dimensional analysis, so we must create a ratio using the molar mass.
[tex]\frac {110.98 \ g \ CaCl_2}{ 1 \ mol \ CaCl_2}[/tex]
We are converting 15 grams of calcium chloride to moles, so we must multiply the ratio by this value.
[tex]15 \ g \ CaCl_2 *\frac {110.98 \ g \ CaCl_2}{ 1 \ mol \ CaCl_2}[/tex]
Flip the ratio so the units of grams of calcium chloride cancel.
[tex]15 \ g \ CaCl_2 *\frac { 1 \ mol \ CaCl_2}{110.98 \ g \ CaCl_2}[/tex]
[tex]15 *\frac { 1 \ mol \ CaCl_2}{110.98}[/tex]
[tex]\frac { 15}{110.98} \ mol \ CaCl_2[/tex]
[tex]0.1351594882\ mol \ CaCl_2[/tex]
The original measurement of grams (15) has 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the hundredth place. The 5 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 3 up to a 4.
[tex]0.14 \ mol \ CaCl_2[/tex]
15 grams of calcium chloride is approximately 0.14 moles of calcium chloride.

Explanation:
A chemist dissolves 14.0 g of calcium hydroxide in one beaker of water, and 17.0 g of iron(III) chloride
in a second beaker of water. Everything dissolves.
When the two solutions are poured together, solid iron(III) hydroxide precipitates.
1. Write a balanced molecular equation.
2. Determine the identity of the limiting reactant.
3. Predict the mass of iron(III) hydroxide product.
Answer:
See detailed explanation.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, for the given scenario, we will proceed as follows:
1. Here, we infer that the products are iron (III) hydroxide (precipitate) and calcium chloride:
[tex]3Ca(OH)_2+2FeCl_3\rightarrow 3CaCl_2+2Fe(OH)_3[/tex]
2. In this step we firstly calculate the moles of both reactants, by using their molar masses 74.093 and 162.2 g/mol respectively:
[tex]14.0gCa(OH)_2*\frac{1molCa(OH)_2}{74.093gCa(OH)_2}=0.189molCa(OH)_2 \\\\17.0gFeCl_3*\frac{1molFeCl_3}{162.2gFeCl_3}=0.105molFeCl_3[/tex]
Now, we calculate the moles of calcium hydroxide consumed by 0.105 moles of iron (III) chloride by using the 3:2 mole ratio between them:
[tex]0.105molFeCl_3*\frac{3molCa(OH)_2}{2molFeCl_3} =0.157molCa(OH)_2[/tex]
Thus, we infer that calcium hydroxide is in excess as 0.189 moles are available for it but just 0.157 moles react and therefore, iron (III) chloride is the limiting reactant.
3. Here, we use the moles of iron (III) chloride we've just computed, the 2:2 mole ratio with iron (III) hydroxide and its molar mass (106.867 g/mol) as shown below:
[tex]0.105molFeCl_3*\frac{2molFe(OH)_3}{2molFeCl_3} *\frac{106.867gFe(OH)_3}{1molFe(OH)_3} \\\\=11.2gFe(OH)_3[/tex]

Please explain!
N₂ + 3H₂ ⇄ 2NH₃ + heat
In the given equilibrium, we notice that the heat is on the right. which means that if the heat requirements don't meet, the reactants on the right will no longer react due to the lack of heat
but because the reactants on the left don't have such weaknesses, they will keep reacting hence producing more and more ammonia until a new equilibrium is reached
where there will be more ammonia and less nitrogen and hydrogen as compared to the equilibrium we had initially
Answer:
Explanation:
heat is given out as 1 of the products, along w/ NH3 in the forward reaction. so its an exothermic reaction
decreasing temperature favors exothermic reaction as more heat can be absorbed by the environment
so equilibrium will shift towards the products

If the concentration of products is increased the equilibrium is shifted from * left to right/ to the left/ right to left /down left
Answer:
to the left
Explanation:
If the concentration of products is increased for a reaction that is in equilibrium, the equilibrium would shift to the left side of the reaction (the reactant's side).
For a reaction that is in equilibrium, the reaction is balanced between the reactants and the products. According to Le Cha telier's principle, if one of the constraints capable of influencing the rate of reactions is applied to such a reaction that is in equilibrium, the equilibrium would shift so as to neutralize the effects created by the constraint.
Hence, in this case, if the concentration of the products of a reaction in equilibrium is increased, the equilibrium would shift in such a way that more reactants are formed so as to annul the effects created by the increase in the concentration of the products. Since reactants are always on the left side of chemical equations, it thus means that the equilibrium would shift to the left.
Carbonic acid (H₂CO₃) is a polyprotic acid. When carbonic acid dissolves in water, which is higher, the concentration of HCO₃- ions or the concentration of CO₃²- ions?
Please explain!
The concentration of CO₃²⁻ ions will be higher
To explain, I want you to imagine H₂CO₃ in water.
we know that it will lose 2 of it's protons, and form 2 ions
The ion which is more stable will have a higher concentration because that ion will refuse to react with anything else, so once something turns into that specific ion, it's not going back... unless there's a more stabler ion possible
In this case, the 2 ions formed are: HCO₃⁻ and CO₃⁽²⁻⁾, drawing the structures of both the ions tells us that both of them have resonance, but the CO₃⁽²⁻⁾ ion has more resonance structures and hence is more stable

A alkaloid compound contains 74.02% C, 8.710% H and 17.27% N. The empirical formula of the compound is___.
If 40.57 grams of it contains 0.2500 moles, then it's molecular formula will be:______.
C₁₀H₁₄N₂ is the empirical formula of the compound whose mass is 40.57 present in 0.2500 moles.
What are alkaloid compounds?Alkaloid compounds are those naturally present organic compounds in which nitrogen is present.
First we calculate the molecular mass of wanted compound by using the below formula:
n = W/M, where
n = no. of moles = 0.2500 moles (given)
W = given mass = 40.57 grams (given)
M = molar mass = 40.57 grams/= 0.2500 moles = 162.28 g/mole
In the question, given that:
% composition of carbon = 74.02%
% composition of hydrogen = 8.710%
% composition of nitrogen = 17.27%
Now we calculate the mass of these composition by using the below formula:
Composition mass = compound mass * % composition / 100
Mass of carbon = 162.28 * 74.02 / 100 = 120.11g
Mass of hydrogen = 162.28 * 8.710 / 100 = 14.13g
Mass of nitrogen = 162.28 * 17.27 / 100 = 28.02g
Now we calculate the moles of these composition to made empirical formula as:
Moles of carbon = 120.11 / 12 = 10
Moles of hydrogen = 14.13 / 1 = 14
Moles of nitrogen = 28.02 / 14 = 2
Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is C₁₀H₁₄N₂.

What mass of oxygen is needed for the complete combustion of 1.60-10^-3
g
of methane?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Answer:
6.4×10¯³ g of O₂.
Explanation:
We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:
CH₄ + 2O₂ —> CO₂ + 2H₂O
Next, we shall determine the masses of CH₄ and O₂ that reacted from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:
Molar mass of CH₄ = 12 + (4×1)
= 12 + 4
= 16 g/mol
Mass of CH₄ from the balanced equation = 1 × 16 = 16 g
Molar mass of O₂ = 2 × 16 = 32 g/mol
Mass of O₂ from the balanced equation = 2 × 32 = 64 g
SUMMARY:
From the balanced equation above,
16 g of CH₄ reacted with 64 g of O₂.
Finally, we shall determine the mass of O₂ needed to react with 1.6×10¯³ g of CH₄. This can be obtained as illustrated below:
From the balanced equation above,
16 g of CH₄ reacted with 64 g of O₂.
Therefore, 1.6×10¯³ g of CH₄ will react with = (1.6×10¯³ × 64) / 16 = 6.4×10¯³ g of O₂
Thus, 6.4×10¯³ g of O₂ is needed for the reaction.

I'm assuming this question implies that the surface area is in relation to the volume of the pieces. In that case, the SMALLER the size of each piece, the larger the surface area. This is because more particles are able to fit into the container if they are smaller, leading to more surface area.

Nitric acid and nitrogen monoxide react to form nitrogen dioxide and water, like this: At a certain temperature, a chemist finds that a 7.7 L reaction vessel containing a mixture of nitric acid, nitrogen monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and water at equilibrium has the following composition: compound amount
HNO 16.2 g 11.0 g 18.6 g H20 236.7 g 3 NO NO
Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant K for this reaction. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
Answer:
K = 3.3
Explanation:
Nitric acid, HNO3, reacts with nitrogen monoxide, NO, to produce nitrogen dioxide, NO2 and water H2O as follows:
2HNO3(g) + NO(g) → 3NO2(g) + H2O(g)
Where equilibrium constant, K, is:
K = [NO2]³[H2O] / [HNO3]²[NO]
[] is the molar concentration of each species at equilibrium.
To solve this question we need to find molarity of each gas and replace these in the equation as follows:
[NO2] -Molar mass NO2-46.0g/mol-
18.6g * (1mol/46.0g) = 0.404mol / 7.7L = 0.0525M
[H2O] -Molar mass:18.01g/mol-
236.7g * (1mol/18.01g) = 13.14 moles / 7.7L = 1.707M
[HNO3] -Molar mass:53.01g/mol-
16.2g * (1mol/53.01g) = 0.3056 moles / 7.7L = 0.0397M
[NO] -Molar mass: 30.0g/mol-
11.0g * (1mol/30.0g) = 0.367 moles / 7.7L = 0.0476M
Replacing:
K = [NO2]³[H2O] / [HNO3]²[NO]
K = [0.0525M]³[1.707M] / [0.0397M]²[0.0476M]
K = 3.3
Balance the following skeleton reaction and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents: Include the states of all reactants and products in your balanced equation. You do not need to include the states with the identities of the oxidizing and reducing agents.
NO_2(g) rightarrow NO_3^-(aq) +NO_2^- (aq) [basic]
The oxidizing agent is:______.
The reducing agent is:_______.
Answer:
a. 2NO₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻ (aq) + H₂O (l)
b. i. NO₂⁻ is the oxidizing agent
ii. NO₃⁻ is the reducing agent.
Explanation:
a. Balance the following skeleton reaction
The reaction is
NO₂ (g) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻ (aq)
The half reactions are
NO₂ (g) → NO₃⁻ (aq) (1) and
NO₂ (g) → NO₂⁻ (aq) (2)
We balance the number of oxygen atoms in equation(1) by adding one H₂O molecule to the left side.
So, NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻ (aq)
We now add two hydrogen ions 2H⁺ on the right hand side to balance the number of hydrogen atoms
NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq)
The charge on the left hand side is zero while the total charge on the right hand side is -1 + 2 = +1. To balance the charge on both sides, we add one electron to the right hand side.
So, NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq) + e⁻ (4)
Since the number of atoms in equation two are balanced, we balance the charge since the charge on the left hand side is zero and that on the right hand side is -1. So, we add one electron to the left hand side.
So, NO₂ (g) + e⁻ → NO₂⁻ (aq) (5)
We now add equation (4) and (5)
So, NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq) + e⁻ (4)
+ NO₂ (g) + e⁻ → NO₂⁻ (aq) (5)
2NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) + e⁻ → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻ (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq) + e⁻ (4)
2NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻ (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq)
We now add two hydroxide ions to both sides of the equation.
So, 2NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻ (aq) + 2H⁺ (aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq)
The hydrogen ion and the hydroxide ion become a water molecule
2NO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻ (aq) + 2H₂O (l)
2NO₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻ (aq) + H₂O (l)
So, the required reaction is
2NO₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq) → NO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂⁻ (aq) + H₂O (l)
b. Identify the oxidizing agent and reducing agent
Since the oxidation number of oxygen in NO₂ is -2. Since the oxidation number of NO₂ is zero, we let x be the oxidation number of N.
So, x + 2 × (oxidation number of oxygen) = 0
x + 2(-2) = 0
x - 4 = 0
x = 4
Since the oxidation number of oxygen in NO₂⁻ is -1. Since the oxidation number of NO₂⁻ is -1, we let x be the oxidation number of N.
So, x + 2 × (oxidation number of oxygen) = 0
x + 2(-2) = -1
x - 4 = -1
x = 4 - 1
x = 3
Also, the oxidation number of oxygen in NO₃⁻ is -1. Since the oxidation number of NO₃⁻ is -1, we let x be the oxidation number of N.
So, x + 2 × (oxidation number of oxygen) = -1
x + 3(-2) = -1
x - 6 = -1
x = 6 - 1
x = 5
i. The oxidizing agent
The oxidation number of N changes from +4 in NO₂ to +3 in NO₂⁻. So, Nitrogen is reduced and thus NO₂⁻ is the oxidizing agent
ii. The reducing agent
The oxidation number of N changes from +4 in NO₂ to +5 in NO₃⁻. So, Nitrogen is oxidized and thus and NO₃⁻ is the reducing agent.
