Answer:
a. the Kb of NO₂⁻ to find the hydroxide concentration.
Explanation:
When sodium nitrite is dissolved in water, it dissociates in sodium cation and nitrite anion according to the following equation.
NaNO₂(s) ⇒ Na⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq)
Na⁺ comes from NaOH (strong base) so it doesn't react with water.
NO₂⁻ comes from HNO₂ (weak acid) so it reacts with water according to the following equation.
NO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HNO₂(aq) + OH⁻(aq)
This is the basic reaction of nitrite ion, so we need the Kb of NO₂⁻ to find the hydroxide concentration.
Which solution, if either, would create the higher osmotic pressure (compared to pure water): one prepared from 1.0 g of NaCl in 10 mL of water or 1.0 g of CsBr in 10 mL of water
Answer: NaCl would give the higher pressure
Explanation:
Osmotic pressure depends only on the number of ions.
NaCl dissociates as Na+ and Cl- ; CsBr dissociates as Cs+ and Br-
But the concentration of the solutions are different.
Concentration (morality ) of NaCl = Moles /Litre = (1 g /58.44g/mol)/0.01L
Total number of ions in NaCl solution = 2 x (1 g /58.44g/mol)/0.01L ( 1 mol NaCl gives 2 moles ions, 1 mol Na+ and 1 mol Cl-)
= 1.71×2RT
Similarly total number of ions in CsBr solution = 2 x (1 g /212.80 g/mol)/0.01L
= 0.47×2RT
Therefore osmotic pressure is higher in NaCl solution.
Which of the following best describes a limiting reactant? a. The reactant that limits the rate (or speed) of a chemical reaction. b. The reactant that limits the position of equilibrium in a reversible chemical change. c. The reactant that remains at the end of the reaction. d. The reactant that can produce the greatest amount of product. e. The reactant that is completely used up by a reaction.
Answer:
e is the suitable answer for that. I think it is correct.
Answer: The correct option is E ( the reactant that is completely used up by a reaction).
Explanation:
A LIMITING REACTANT can be defined as the reagent or the substance that is involved in a chemical reaction which determines when the reaction will stop. This is because it is COMPLETELY used up in the reaction. Reactants that are called limiting reactants is because the quantity of these reagents are capable of limiting the amount of products formed. And by doing so, the chemical reaction cannot proceed further with the absence of this reactant. Using an attached diagram below to illustrate further:
The reagents D and E reacts to form F as the product. In this reaction, reactant E is the limiting reagent because there is still some left over D in the products. Therefore, D was in excess when E was all USED UP.
Therefore the CORRECT option is E which states that the reactant that is completely used up by a reaction, best describes a limiting reactant.
Option A is WRONG because it's the concentration of both reactants in chemical equation can limit the speed of that reaction.
Option B is WRONG because it's when the concentration of a particular reactant is either increased or decreased can affect the position of equilibrium.
Option C and D are wrong because the reactant that remains in the end of a reaction and can produce the greatest amount of product is the one in EXCESS.

How many grams of sodium chloride are required to make 2.00 L of a solution with a concentration of 0.100 M?
Answer:
Mass = 11.688g
Explanation:
Volume = 2.00L
Molar concentration = 0.100M
Mass = ?
These quantities are relatted by the following equation;
Conc = Number of moles / volume
Number of moles = Conc * Volume = 2 * 0.100 = 0.2 mol
Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass
Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass
Mass = 0.2mol * 58.44g/mol
Mass = 11.688g
is the general formula of a certain hydrate. When 256.3 g of the compound is heated to drive off the water, 214.2 g of anhydrous compound is left. Further analysis shows that the percentage composition of the anhydrate is 21.90% Ca, 43.14% Se, and 34.97% O.. (Hint: Treat the anhydrous compound and water just as you have treated elements in calculating in the formula of the hydrate.) (Use an asterisk to enter the dot in the formula. If a subscript is 1, omit it.) Find the empirical formula of the anhydrous compound. Find the empirical formula of the hydrate.
Answer:
The general formula of the hydrate is Caa Seb Oc. nH2O. Based on the given information, the weight of the hydrated compound is 256.3 grams, the weight of the anhydrous compound is 214.2 grams.
Therefore, the weight of water evaporated is 256.3 g - 214.2 g = 42.1 grams
The molecular weight of water is 18 gram per mole. So, the number of moles of water will be,
Moles of water = weight of water/molecular weight
= 42.1 grams / 18 = 2.3
The given composition of calcium is 21.90 %. So, the concentration of calcium in anhydrous compound is,
= 214.2 * 0.2190 = 46.91 grams
The given composition of Se is 43.14 %. So, the concentration of selenium in anhydrous compound is,
= 214.2 * 0.4314 = 92.40 grams
The given composition of oxygen is 34.97%, So, the concentration of oxygen in anhydrous compound is,
= 214.2 * 0.3497 = 74.91 grams
The molecular weight of Ca is 40.078, the obtained concentration is 46.91 grams, stoichiometry will be, 46.91/40.078 = 1.17
The molecular weight of Se is 78.96, the obtained concentration is 92.40, stoichiometry will be,
92.40/78.96 = 1.17
The molecular weight of Oxygen is 15.999, the concentration obtained is 74.91, the stoichiometry will be,
74.91/15.999 = 4.68.
Thus, the formula becomes, Ca1.17. Se1.1e O4.68. 2.3H2O, the closest actual component is CaSeO4.2H2O
According to the following reaction, how many grams of ammonia will be formed upon the complete reaction of 31.2 grams of hydrogen gas with excess nitrogen gas ? nitrogen(g) + hydrogen(g) ammonia(g)
Answer:
176.8 g of ammonia, NH3.
Explanation:
We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:
N2 + 3H2 —> 2NH3
Next, we shall determine the mass of H2 that reacted and the mass of NH3 produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:
Molar mass of H2 = 2x1 = 2 g/mol
Mass of H2 from the balanced equation = 3 x 2 = 6 g
Molar mass of NH3 = 14 + (3x1) = 17 g/mol
Mass of NH3 from the balanced equation = 2 x 17 = 34 g.
From the balanced equation above,
6 g of H2 reacted to produce 34 g of NH3.
Finally, we shall determine the mass of ammonia, NH3 produced by reacting 31.2 g of H2.
This can be obtained as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
6 g of H2 reacted to produce 34 g of NH3.
Therefore, 31.2 g of H2 will react to produce = (31.2 x 34)/6 = 176.8 g of NH3.
Therefore, 176.8 g of ammonia, NH3 were obtained from the reaction.

g All of the molecules below have polar bonds but only one of the molecules is a polar molecule. Which one is a polar molecule? A) C2F2 B) C2Cl4 C) CO2 D) NF3 E) CF4
Answer: [tex]NF_3[/tex]
Explanation:
Geometrical symmetry of the molecule and the polarity of the bonds determine the polarity of the molecule.
The molecule that has zero dipole moment that means it is a geometrically symmetric molecule and the molecule which has some net dipole moment means it is a geometrically asymmetric molecule.
As the molecule is symmetric, the dipole moment will be zero as dipole moments cancel each other and the molecule will be non-polar.
As the molecule is asymmetric, the dipole moment will not be zero and the molecule will be polar.
Example: [tex]NF_3[/tex]
Thus, we can say that [tex]NF_3[/tex] is a polar molecule.

Hydrazine, , emits a large quantity of energy when it reacts with oxygen, which has led to hydrazine used as a fuel for rockets: How many moles of each of the gaseous products are produced when 20.1 g of pure hydrazine is ignited in the presence of 20.1 g of pure oxygen
Answer:
[tex]1.25~mol~H_2O[/tex] and [tex]0.627~mol~N_2[/tex]
Explanation:
Our goal for this question is the calculation of the number of moles of the molecules produced by the reaction of hydrazine ([tex]N_2H_4[/tex]) and oxygen ([tex]O_2[/tex]). So, we can start with the reaction between these compounds:
[tex]N_2H_4~+~O_2~->~N_2~+~H_2O[/tex]
Now we can balance the reaction:
[tex]N_2H_4~+~O_2~->~N_2~+~2H_2O[/tex]
In the problem, we have the values for both reagents. Therefore we have to calculate the limiting reagent. Our first step, is to calculate the moles of each compound using the molar masses values (32.04 g/mol for [tex]N_2H_4[/tex] and 31.99 g/mol for [tex]O_2[/tex]):
[tex]20.1~g~N_2H_4\frac{1~mol~N_2H_4}{32.04~g~N_2H_4}=0.627~mol~N_2H_4[/tex]
[tex]20.1~g~O_2\frac{1~mol~O_2}{31.99~g~O_2}=0.628~mol~O_2[/tex]
In the balanced reaction we have 1 mol for each reagent (the numbers in front of [tex]O_2[/tex] and [tex]N_2H_4[/tex] are 1). Therefore the smallest value would be the limiting reagent, in this case, the limiting reagent is [tex]N_2H_4[/tex].
With this in mind, we can calculate the number of moles for each product. In the case of [tex]N_2[/tex] we have a 1:1 molar ratio (1 mol of [tex]N_2[/tex] is produced by 1 mol of [tex]N_2H_4[/tex]), so:
[tex]0.627~mol~N_2H_4\frac{1~mol~N_2}{1~mol~N_2H_4}=~0.627~mol~N_2[/tex]
We can follow the same logic for the other compound. In the case of [tex]H_2O[/tex] we have a 1:2 molar ratio (2 mol of [tex]H_2O[/tex] is produced by 1 mol of [tex]N_2H_4[/tex]), so:
[tex]0.627~mol~N_2H_4\frac{2~mol~H_2O}{1~mol~N_2H_4}=~1.25~mol~H_2O[/tex]

Where E= energy
h= plank constant= 6.626 10-34 J s
c=speed of light=3 x 108 m/s
But we know that Velocity V= = c / λ
Then substitute into equation (1) we have
E = h c / λ.............(2)
We can calculate our( hc ) in nm for unit consistency
h c =( 6.626 ×10^-34)x(3×108)
h c = (1.986 x 10-16 )
hc = 1.986 x 10-16 J nm then since our (hc) and λ are in the same unit , were good to go then substitute into equation(2)
E = h c / λ = (1.986 x 10-16) / 515
E = 3.86 x 10-19 J
Therefore, the Energy is 3.86 x 10-19 J

Which are the chemical properties of water?
Answer:
See explanation.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, we can realize that water has a very simple atomic structure which consists of two hydrogen atoms bonded to one oxygen atom. The nature of the atomic structure of water causes its molecules to have unique electrochemical properties. The hydrogen side of the water molecule has a slight positive charge whereas at the other side of the molecule a negative charge exists. This molecular polarity causes water to be a powerful solvent and is responsible for its strong surface tension.
Moreover, water is involved in several both inorganic and organic chemical reactions leading to hydration, for example, the conversion of alkenes to alcohols, the hydrolysis of acyl halides, anhydrides, esters and amides to carboxylic acids and the hydration of a raft of inorganic salts that exist as hydrates only, such as copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate and so.

Can solid FeBr2 react with Cl2 gas to produce solid FeCl2 and Br2 gas? Why or why not?
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
The balanced equation of the reaction is;
FeBr2 (aq) + Cl2 (g) → FeCl2 (aq) + Br2 (aq)
This reaction is possible because chlorine is more electronegative than bromine and can displace it from its salt.
In group seventeen, electro negativity decreases down the group. Hence as we move down the group, elements become less electronegative and can be displaced from their salt by more electronegative elements found earlier in the group.
Hence chlorine can displace bromine in FeBr2 to form FeCl2.
Answer:
Yes, because Cl2 has higher activity than Br2

Answer:
[tex]m_{CaCO_3}=0.179gCaCO_3[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since the undergoing chemical reaction is:
[tex]CaCO_3(s)\rightarrow CaO(s)+CO_2(g)[/tex]
The corresponding moles of carbon dioxide occupying 40.0 mL (0.0400 L) are computed by using the ideal gas equation at 273.15 K and 1.00 atm (STP) as follows:
[tex]PV=nRT\\\\n=\frac{PV}{RT}=\frac{1.00 atm*0.0400L}{0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*273.15 K})=1.79x10^{-3} mol CO_2[/tex]
Then, since the mole ratio between carbon dioxide and calcium carbonate is 1:1 and the molar mass of the reactant is 100 g/mol, the mass that yields such volume turns out:
[tex]m_{CaCO_3}=1.79x10^{-3}molCO_2*\frac{1molCaCO_3}{1molCO_2} *\frac{100g CaCO_3}{1molCaCO_3}\\ \\m_{CaCO_3}=0.179gCaCO_3[/tex]

The mass of CaCO₃ required to produce 40.0 mL of CO₂ at STP is 0.179 g
From the question,
We are to determine the mass of CaCO₃ required to produce 40.0 mL of CO₂ at STP.
First, we will determine the number of mole of CO₂ required to be produced
From the formula
PV = nRT
Where
P is the pressure
V is the volume
n is the number of moles
R is the ideal gas constant
and T is the temperature
Then, we can write that
[tex]n = \frac{PV}{RT}[/tex]
From the question,
V = 40.0 mL = 0.04 L
At STP
P = 1 atm
T = 273.15 K
and
R = 0.08206 L atm mol⁻¹ K⁻¹
Putting the parameters into the formula, we get
[tex]n = \frac{1 \times 0.04}{0.08206 \times 273.15}[/tex]
∴ n = 0.0017845 mole
Now, we will write the balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of CaCO₃
CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂
This means,
1 mole of CaCO₃ will decompose to produce 1 mole of CO₂
Since 0.0017845 mole of CO₂ is to be produced,
Then,
0.0017845 mole of CaCO₃ would be required
Now, for the mass of CaCO₃ required,
Using the formula
Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass
Molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100.0869 g/mol
∴ Mass of CaCO₃ required = 0.0017845 × 100.0869
Mass of CaCO₃ required = 0.178605 g
Mass of CaCO₃ required ≅ 0.179 g
Hence, the mass of CaCO₃ required to produce 40.0 mL of CO₂ at STP is 0.179 g

A balloon has an initial volume of 2.954 L containing 5.50 moles of helium. More helium is added so that the balloon expands to 4.325 L. How much helium (moles) has been added if the temperature and pressure stay constant during this process.
Answer:
8.05 moles
Explanation:
5.50 / 2.954 = x / 4.325
x = 8.05
According to ideal gas equation, if the temperature and pressure stay constant during the process 0.520 moles have been added so that the balloon expands to 4.325 L.
What is ideal gas equation?The ideal gas equation is a equation which is applicable in a hypothetical state of an ideal gas.It is a combination of Boyle's law, Charle's law,Avogadro's law and Gay-Lussac's law . It is given as, PV=nRT where R= gas constant whose value is 8.314.The law has several limitations.The law was proposed by Benoit Paul Emile Clapeyron in 1834.
In the given example if pressure and temperature are constant then V=nR substituting V=4.325 l and R=8.314 so n=V/R=4.325/8.314=0.520 moles.
Thus, 0.520 moles of helium are added if the temperature and pressure stay constant during this process.

Answer:
1. 0.00352 M
2. 2HNO3(aq) + Sr(OH)2(aq) -----> Sr(NO3)2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
3. 0.00534 M
Explanation:
1.
Mass of strontium hydroxide= 10.45 g
Volume of solution = 41.00 ml
Number of moles = mass of Sr(OH)2/molar mass of Sr(OH)2 = 10.45g/121.63 g/mol= 0.0859 moles
Molarity= number of moles × volume = 0.0859 ×41/1000 = 0.00352 M

2HNO3(aq) + Sr(OH)2(aq) -----> Sr(NO3)2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
3.
Concentration of acid CA= the unknown
Volume of acid VA= 31.5 ml
Concentration of base CB= 0.00352 M
Volume of base VB= 23.9 ml
Number of moles of acid NA= 2
Number of moles of base NB= 1
From;
CAVA/CBVB = NA/NB

CA= CBVBNA/VANB
CA= 0.00352 × 23.9 ×2/31.5 ×1
CA= 0.00534 M
A. The molarity of the Sr(OH)₂ solution is 2.09 M
B. The balanced equation for the reaction is
2HNO₃ + Sr(OH)₂ —> Sr(NO₃)₂ + 2H₂O
C. The molarity of the acid, HNO₃ is 3.17 M
A. Determination of the molarity of the Sr(OH)₂ solution
We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 10.45 g of Sr(OH)₂Mass of Sr(OH)₂ = 10.45 g
Molar mass of Sr(OH)₂ = 88 + 2(16 + 1) = 122 g/mol
Mole of Sr(OH)₂ =?Mole = mass / molar mass
Mole of Sr(OH)₂ = 10.45 / 122
Mole of Sr(OH)₂ = 0.0857 mole Finally, we shall determine the molarity of Sr(OH)₂Mole of Sr(OH)₂ = 0.0857 mole
Volume = 41 mL = 41 / 1000 = 0.041 L
Molarity of Sr(OH)₂ =?Molarity = mole / Volume
Molarity of Sr(OH)₂ = 0.0857 / 0.041
Molarity of Sr(OH)₂ = 2.09 MB. The balanced equation for the reaction.
2HNO₃ + Sr(OH)₂ —> Sr(NO₃)₂ + 2H₂OC. Determination of the molarity of the acid, HNO₃.
From the balanced equation above,
The mole ratio of the acid, HNO₃ (nA) = 2
The mole ratio of the base, Sr(OH)₂ (nB) = 1
From the question given above,
Volume of base, Sr(OH)₂ (Vb) = 23.9 mL
Molarity of base, Sr(OH)₂ (Mb) = 2.09 M
Volume of acid, HNO₃ (Va) = 31.5 mL
Molarity of acid, HNO₃ (Ma) =?MaVa / MbVb = nA/nB
(Ma × 31.5) / (2.09 × 23.9) = 2
(Ma × 31.5) / 49.951 = 2
Cross multiply
Ma × 31.5 = 49.951 × 2
Ma × 31.5 = 99.902
Divide both side by 31.5
Ma = 99.902 / 31.5
Ma = 3.17 MThus, molarity of the acid, HNO₃ is 3.17 M

A variation of the acetamidomalonate synthesis can be used to synthesize threonine. The process involves the following steps: Ethoxide ion deprotonates diethyl acetamidomalonate, forming enolate anion 1; Enolate anion 1 makes a nucleophilic attack on acetaldehyde, forming tetrahedral intermediate 2; Protonation of the oxyanion forms alcohol 3; Acid hydrolysis yields dicarboxyamino alcohol 4; Decarboxylation leads to the final amino acid. Write out the mechanism on a separate sheet of paper, and then draw the structure of tetrahedral intermediate 2.
Answer:
See figure 1
Explanation:
For this reaction, we have the production of a carbanion as the first step. The base "ethoxide" can remove a hydrogen-producing a negative charge in the carbon (enolate anion 1). Then this negative charge can attack the carbon of the carbonyl group in the molecule acetaldehyde and the tetrahedral intermediate 2 is form. In the next step, we have the protonation of the oxygen to produce alcohol 3. A continuation we have the hydrolysis of the ester groups to produce the Dicarboxyamino alcohol and finally, we have a decarboxylation reaction we will produce the amino acid Threonine.

2. CH4(g) + 202,(g) - CO2(g) + 2H2O(l)
3. Mg (s) + Cl2(g) - MgCǐ2(s)
4. SO3(g) + H2O(I) - H2SO4(I)
A. ΔSsys greater than
B. ΔSsys smaller than
Answer:
Answers are in the explanation.
Explanation:
In a chemical reaction we can determine the sign of ΔSsys based on the states of products and reactants knowing that:
Entropy of gases >>> entropy of liquid > entropy of solids.
The entropy of solids is lower than entropy of liquids that is lower than entropy of gases.
In the reactions:
1. 2H₃O⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq) → CO₂(g) +3H₂O(l)
As 1 gas is produced, entropy of products is higher than entropy of reactants. That means ΔSsys > 0 (That because ΔSsys is ΔSProducts - ΔSReactants)
2. CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)
3 moles of gas are converted in 1 mole of gas in products. Entropy of reactants is higher than entropy of products, ΔSsys < 0.
3. Mg(s) + Cl₂(g) → MgCǐ₂(s)
You have 1 mole of gas in reactants and 1 mole of solid in products. ΔSProducts <<< ΔSReactants. ΔSsys < 0.
4. SO₃(g) + H₂O(I) → H₂SO₄(I)
1 mole of gas in reactants, a liquid in products. ΔSProducts <<< ΔSReactants. ΔSsys < 0.
Determining the sign of ΔSsys for each given chemical reaction, the following can be obtained without calculations:
1. ΔSsys > 0.
2. ΔSsys < 0
3. ΔSsys < 0
4. ΔSsys < 0
Recall:
The states of the reactants and the products in a chemical reaction determines the sign of ΔSsys of the reaction.The entropy of gasses is greater than the entropy of liquid and solids.The entropy of solids is less than the entropy of liquid and gasses.Gasses have the highest entropy, while solids have the least.Thus:
In the first chemical reaction, 1 mole of gas is produced, therefore: ΔSsys > 0.
In the second chemical reaction, 3 moles of gasses gives a products of 1 mole of gas, therefore: ΔSsys < 0.
In the third chemical reaction, 1 mole of gas gives 1 mole of solid as product, therefore: ΔSsys < 0.
In the fourth chemical reaction, 1 mole of gas gives 1 mole of liquid as product, therefore: ΔSsys < 0.
