Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 8.10 \ L}}[/tex]

Explanation:

This question asks us find the volume of a gas sample given a change in temperature. Since the pressure remains constant, we only are concerned with the variables of temperature and volume.

We will use Charles's Law. This states the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of a gas. The formula is:

[tex]\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}[/tex]

The gas starts at a volume of 2.70 liters and a temperature of 25.0 degrees Celsius.

[tex]\frac {2.70 \ L}{25.0 \textdegree C}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}[/tex]

The temperature is increased to 75.0 degrees Celsius, but the volume is unknown.

[tex]\frac {2.70 \ L}{25.0 \textdegree C}=\frac{V_2}{75.0 \textdegree C}[/tex]

We are solving for the volume at 75 degrees Celsius, so we must isolate the variable V₂.

It is being divided by 75.0 °C. The inverse operation of division is multiplication, so we multiply both sides of the equation by 75.0 °C.

[tex]75.0 \textdegree C *\frac {2.70 \ L}{25.0 \textdegree C}=\frac{V_2}{75.0 \textdegree C} * 75.0 \textdegree C[/tex]

[tex]75.0 \textdegree C *\frac {2.70 \ L}{25.0 \textdegree C}= V_2[/tex]

The units of degrees Celsius (° C) cancel.

[tex]75.0 *\frac {2.70 \ L}{25.0}= V_2[/tex]

[tex]75.0 *0.108 \ L = V_2[/tex]

[tex]8.1 \ L = V_2[/tex]

The original measurements have 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. Currently, the answer has 2. If we add another 0, the value of the answer does not change, but the number of sig figs does.

[tex]8.10 \ L = V_2[/tex]

The volume of this gas sample at 75.0 degrees Celsius is 8.10 Liters.

Answer:

If 13.50 mL of an aluminum chloride solution is needed to reach the equivalence point with 10.00 mL of 0.109 M silver nitrate solution, determine the molarity of the aluminum chloride solution.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is:

[tex]AlCl_3(aq)+3AgNO_3(aq)->3AgCl(s)+Al(NO_3)_3(aq)[/tex]

So, one mole of aluminum chloride reacts with three moles of silver nitrate.

At the equivalence point,

the number of moles of each reactant must be equal.

The number of moles = molarity x volume in L.

Number of moles of AlCl3 = volume x molarity

=0.0135Lx Molarity

The number of moles of AgNO3 = 3 x 0.010Lx 0.109M

Thus,

0.0135Lx Molarity = 3 x 0.010Lx 0.109M

Molarity of AlCl3 :

[tex]Molarity of Alcl_3=3 x 0.010Lx 0.109M/0.0135\\=0.242M[/tex]

Answer is : 0.242M.

Explanation:

The relationship between the activation energy and rate of reaction is best captured by the Arrhenius equation;

k= Ae^-Ea/RT

Where;

k= rate constant

A= pre-exponential factor

Ea=activation energy

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:

0.21 g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

NaCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) -----> NaNO3(aq) + AgCl(s)

Number of moles of NaCl= 0.0860 g /58.5 g/mol = 0.00147 moles

Number of moles of AgNO3 = 30/1000 L × 0.050 M = 0.0015 moles

Since the reaction is 1:1, NaCl is the limiting reactant.

1 mole of NaCl yields 1 mole of AgCl

0.00147 moles of NaCl yields 0.00147 moles of AgCl

Mass of precipitate formed = 0.00147 moles of AgCl × 143.32 g/mol

= 0.21 g

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.

Answer:

62.5 ml of 0.032 M  KMnO₄ are required to react with 50.0 ml of 0.100 molar H₂C₂O₄ in the presence of excess H₂SO₄

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

2 KMnO₄ + 5 H₂C₂O₄ + 3 H₂SO₄ → K₂SO₄ + 2 MnSO₄ + 8 H₂O + 10 CO₂

By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

Molarity or Molar Concentration is the number of moles of solute that are dissolved in a certain volume.

The molarity of a solution is calculated by dividing the moles of the solute by the volume of the solution:

[tex]Molarity=\frac{number of moles of solute}{volume}[/tex]

Molarity is expressed in units [tex]\frac{moles}{liter}[/tex]

In this case, 50 mL (0.05 L) of 0.1 M H₂C₂O₄ react. So, replacing the data in the definition of molarity:

[tex]0.1 M=\frac{number of moles of solute}{0.05 L}[/tex]

Solving:

number of moles of solute= 0.1 M*0.05 L

number of moles of solute= 0.005 moles

So, 0.005 moles of H₂C₂O₄ react.  Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 5 moles of H₂C₂O₄ react with 2 moles of KMnO₄, 0.005 moles of H₂C₂O₄ react with how many moles of KMnO₄?

[tex]moles of KMnO_{4} =\frac{0.005moles of H_{2} C_{2} O_{4}* 2moles of KMnO_{4} }{5moles of H_{2} C_{2} O_{4} }[/tex]

moles of KMnO₄= 0.002 moles

Knowing that the molarity of KMnO₄ is 0.032 M, replacing in its definition and solving:

[tex]0.032 M=\frac{0.002 moles}{volume}[/tex]

[tex]volume=\frac{0.002 moles}{0.032 M}[/tex]

volume= 0.0625 L= 62.5 mL

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.

Answer:

An indicator added to the solution turns green-blue.

Explanation:

An indicator is a substance which shows the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution by change in colour of the solution.

The universal indicator changes colour as the pH of the solution changes. Looking at the colour ranges for the universal indicator, the green-blue colour indicates a weak base.

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.

The heat absorbed in Trial 2 is about 1,240 J greater than the heat absorbed in Trial 1.

The heat absorbed in Trial 2 is about 1,674 J greater than the heat absorbed in Trial 1.

The amount of heat absorbed or released by a substance can be calculated using the formula Q = mcΔT, where Q represents heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

In this case, the mass (m) is the same in both trials, but the initial and final temperatures (ΔT) differ. By comparing the values of ΔT in both trials, we can determine the difference in the amount of heat absorbed.

In Trial 1, the initial temperature is 15.0 °C and the final temperature is 65.0 °C, resulting in a ΔT of 65.0 - 15.0 = 50.0 °C.

In Trial 2, the initial temperature is 10.0 °C and the final temperature is 65.0 °C, resulting in a ΔT of 65.0 - 10.0 = 55.0 °C.

Since the specific heat capacity of water is approximately 4.18 J/g°C, we can calculate the difference in heat absorbed:

ΔQ = mcΔT = (80.0 g)(4.18 J/g°C)(55.0 °C - 50.0 °C) = 1,674 J

Therefore, the heat absorbed in Trial 2 is approximately 1,674 J greater than the heat absorbed in Trial 1.

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
