(Multiple Choice, 30 pts)

A student wants to determine whether an unknown solid is an ionic compound. He puts some in water and finds that it does not dissolve. He says that this proves the solid is ionic. Which best evaluates the student's reasoning?

A. He is incorrect, because water can dissolve ionic solids.
B. The test proves nothing, because water dissolves all solids.
C. He is correct, because polar liquids cannot dissolve ionic solids.
D. The test proves nothing, because it only shows that the solid is a compound.

(I know water is polar, so I think its a?)

Answers

Answer 1

The student cannot prove that if the compound is ionic or covalent because not all ionic compounds dissolves in water. Some ionic compounds have higher lattice energy results in lower solubility. Thus, option D could be correct.

What are ionic compounds?

Ionic compounds are formed between metals and non metals. Metals are electron rich and they easily donate electrons to the non-metals. Non-metals are generally electronegative and they easily gains electrons from the metals.

Donating electrons make metals acquire positive charge and the non-metals acquire a  negative charge. This charge separation make the compound possess a permanent dipole moment. Which make them easily soluble in water by ion-dipole interaction.

However, some ionic compounds have very strong ionic bonds and their binding energy will be greater so that cannot be easily dissolved in water. For example, AgCl. Therefore, we cannot predict weather the compound is ionic or not by simply noting it solubility in water.

Answer:

X: Pollution

Y: Habitat Destruction

Explanation:

From the above question, Leon gave us two variables, X and Y.

The human induced changes were divided into two.

1. Results from introducing harmful substances into the environment

Introducing harmful substances into the environment is also called pollution. And we can represent this as X which is the first variable.

2. Results from natural areas being cleared and replaced by human development.

This description given in number two above whereby land areas are been cleared and replaced by human development has a negative effects on the environment because the vegetation which includes the trees are been cut down and living organisms(animals) will go extinct gradually. This act affect the balance of the ecosystem and it can be referred to as the destruction of the habitat of living organisms

Therefore, the correct headings best complete the chart is :

A child has a balloon in his house in the air conditioning. He goes outside with the balloon on a hot day. What happens to the temperature of the gas and volume of the balloon?

Answers

Answer:

There would be an increase in temperature and corresponding increase in the volume of the balloon

Explanation:

Charles law is been here

Charles law  states that the volume of a given mass of gas  is directly proportional to the temperature in Kelvin, provided that the pressure on the gas is kept constant. Mathematically Charles law can be represented thus;

V∝ T

Where V is the volume of the gas and;

T is the temperature.

Relating Charles Law to the question

The child moved outside from the room, constant atmospheric pressure is maintained.The temperature of the room is lower than the temperature outside.

From Charles law postulation, there would be an increase in volume because of the increased temperature, since our pressure is same.

Answer:

[tex]\large \boxed{\text{21.6 L}}[/tex]

Explanation:

We must do the conversions

mass of C₆H₁₂O₆ ⟶ moles of C₆H₁₂O₆ ⟶ moles of CO₂ ⟶ volume of CO₂

We will need a chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

Mᵣ:        180.16

         C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ ⟶ 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

m/g:      24.5

(a) Moles of C₆H₁₂O₆

[tex]\text{Moles of C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6} = \text{24.5 g C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}\times \dfrac{\text{1 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}}{\text{180.16 g C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}}\\\\= \text{0.1360 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}[/tex]

(b) Moles of CO₂

[tex]\text{Moles of CO}_{2} =\text{0.1360 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6} \times \dfrac{\text{6 mol CO}_{2}}{\text{1 mol C$_{6}$H$_{12}$O}_{6}} = \text{0.8159 mol CO}_{2}[/tex]

(c) Volume of CO₂

We can use the Ideal Gas Law.

pV = nRT

Data:

p = 0.960 atm

n = 0.8159 mol

T = 37  °C

(i) Convert the temperature to kelvins

T = (37 + 273.15) K= 310.15 K

(ii) Calculate the volume

[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}pV &=& nRT\\\text{0.960 atm} \times V & = & \text{0.8159 mol} \times \text{0.082 06 L}\cdot\text{atm}\cdot\text{K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1} \times \text{310.15 K}\\0.960V & = & \text{20.77 L}\\V & = & \textbf{21.6 L} \\\end{array}\\\text{The volume of carbon dioxide is $\large \boxed{\textbf{21.6 L}}$}[/tex]

metallic iron?
4Fe(s) + 302(g) → 2Fe2O3 (9)
LO2​

Answers

Answer:

Volume of oxygen gas is 78.47L

Explanation:

Data;

Temperature (T) = 20°C = (20 + 273.15)K = 293.15K

Pressure (P) = 0.919atm

Mass (m) = 5g

Volume (v) = ?

Equation of reaction;

4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

From the equation of reaction, the number of moles of oxygen is 3.

To find the volume of oxygen produced, we'll have to use ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = ideal gas constant = 0.082J/mol.K

T = temperature of the ideal gas

PV = nRT

V = nRT/ P

V = (3 × 0.082 × 293.15) / 0.919

V = 72.1149 / 0.919

V = 78.47L

Volume of the gas is 78.47L

Analysis: The limiting reactant(s) appeared to be
because

Answers

there is nothing with which it can react

Explanation:

The limiting reactant(s) prevents a reaction from continuing because there is none left.

Why do limiting reactants occur?

Identification of the limiting reactant makes it possible to calculate the theoretical yield of a reaction. The reason there is a limiting reactant is that elements and compounds react according to the mole ratio between them in a balanced chemical equation.

How do you get the limiting reactant?

The reactant that is consumed first and limits the amount of product(s) that can be obtained is the limiting reactant. To identify the limiting reactant, calculate the number of moles of each reactant present and compare this ratio to the mole ratio of the reactants in the balanced chemical equation.

A 0.050L solution of Ba(OH)2 is neutralized by 0.072L of a 0.55 M HNO3 solution. What is the concentration of the Ba(OH)2 solution?

Answers

Answer:

0.396M

Explanation:

Step 1:

The balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2HNO3 + Ba(OH)2 —> Ba(NO3)2 + 2H2O

From the balanced equation above,

The mole ratio of the acid (nA) = 2

The mole ratio of the base (nB) = 1

Step 2:

Data obtained from the question. This include the following:

Volume of base (Vb) = 0.05L

Concentration of base (Cb) =..?

Volume of acid (Va) = 0.072L

Concentration of acid = 0.55 M

Step 3:

Determination of the concentration of the base, Ba(OH)2.

The concentration of the base, Ba(OH)2 can be obtained as follow:

Cava /CbVb = nA/nB

0.55 x 0.072 / Cb x 0.05 = 2/1

Cross multiply to express in linear form

Cb x 0.05 x 2 = 0.55 x 0.072

Divide both side by 0.05 x 2

Cb = (0.55 x 0.072) / (0.05 x 2)

Cb = 0.396M

Therefore, the concentration of the base, Ba(OH)2 is 0.396M
