Answer:
D
Reasoning:
This is due to the belief that at one time, the galaxy was condensed into a minute spot and the Big Bang event initiated the universe's expansion, propelling galaxies outward into space, distancing them from one another. Dark energy is theorized to exert the force from the Big Bang that drives this expansion.
The chemical equation can be expressed as:
2H2 + O2 = 2H2O
Given the amounts of the reactants, we need to identify the limiting reactant before calculating the amount of product generated.
4.0 g H2 ( 1 mol / 2.02 g ) = 1.98 mol H2
5.0 g O2 ( 1 mol / 32 g ) = 0.1563 mol O2
The limiting reactant is O2, as it will be fully consumed in the reaction.
0.1563 mol O2 ( 2 mol H2O / 1 mol O2 ) ( 18.02 g / mol ) = 5.6 g H2O will be produced
1) The ionic compound present in solution b is K₂CrO₄ (potassium chromate). This compound contains two potassiums (oxidation state +1), a single chromium (oxidation state +6), and four oxygen atoms. The oxidation state of oxygen is -2, resulting in a neutral compound: 2 · (+1) + 6 + x · (-2) = 0. Hence, x = 4, denoting the count of oxygen atoms. 2) The ionic compound in solution a is AgNO₃ (silver nitrate). ω(N) = 8.246% ÷ 100%. Thus, ω(N) = 0.08246, indicating the mass percentage of nitrogen. M(MNO₃) = M(N) ÷ ω(N). It follows that M(MNO₃) = 14 g/mol ÷ 0.08246, leading to M(MNO₃) = 169.8 g/mol; the molar mass of the metal nitrate. M(M) = M(MNO₃) - M(N) - 3 · M(O). Consequently, M(M) = 169.8 g/mol - 14 g/mol - 3 · 16 g/mol, resulting in M(M) = 107.8 g/mol which is the atomic mass of silver (Ag). 3) The balanced chemical equation is: 2AgNO₃(aq) + K₂CrO₄(aq) → Ag₂CrO₄(s) + 2KNO₃(aq). In ionic form: 2Ag⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq) + 2K⁺(aq) + CrO₄²⁻(aq) → Ag₂CrO₄(s) + 2K⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq). The net ionic equation is: 2Ag⁺(aq) + CrO₄²⁻(aq) → Ag₂CrO₄(s). Thus, the red precipitate is identified as silver chromate (Ag₂CrO₄). 4) The mass of solid silver chromate created is m(Ag₂CrO₄) = 331.8 g. The amount is determined by n(Ag₂CrO₄) = m(Ag₂CrO₄) ÷ M(Ag₂CrO₄). Therefore, n(Ag₂CrO₄) = 331.8 g ÷ 331.8 g/mol yields n(Ag₂CrO₄) = 1 mol. From the balanced equation, n(Ag₂CrO₄): n(AgNO₃) = 1: 2, it follows n(AgNO₃) = 2 · 1 mol, which means n(AgNO₃) = 2 mol. Then, the mass of silver nitrate is computed as m(AgNO₃) = n(AgNO₃) · M(AgNO₃). Hence, m(AgNO₃) = 2 mol · 169.8 g/mol gives m(AgNO₃) = 339.6 g; thus, m(AgNO₄) equals m(K₂CrO₄). Therefore, m(K₂CrO₄) = 339.6 g; amount of potassium chromate is n(K₂CrO₄) = m(K₂CrO₄) ÷ M(K₂CrO₄). Thus, n(K₂CrO₄) = 339.6 g ÷ 194.2 g/mol thus arrives at n(K₂CrO₄) = 1.75 mol. 5) The dissociation of silver nitrate in water is expressed as: AgNO₃(aq) → Ag⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq). Volume of solution a = 500 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L results in V(solution a) = 0.5 L. Concentration equation c(AgNO₃) = n(AgNO₃) ÷ V(solution a), thus c(AgNO₃) = 2 mol ÷ 0.5 L, yielding c(AgNO₃) = 4 mol/L = 4 M. As a result: c(AgNO₃) = c(Ag⁺) = c(NO₃⁻). Thus, c(Ag⁺) = 4 M; the concentration of silver ions in the initial solution a. 6) The dissociation of potassium chromate in water is represented as: K₂CrO₄(aq) → 2K⁺(aq) + CrO₄²⁻(aq). Volume of solution b = 500 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L results in V(solution b) = 0.5 L. Following, c(K₂CrO₄) is calculated as n(K₂CrO₄) ÷ V(solution b). So c(AgNO₃) = 1.75 mol ÷ 0.5 L gives c(AgNO₃) = 3.5 mol/L = 3.5 M. Consequently: c(K⁺) = 7 M; the concentration of potassium ions in solution b. Therefore, c(CrO₄²⁻) = 3.5 M; the concentration of chromium ions in the same solution. 7) The total final volume is V(final solution) = V(solution a) + V(solution b). Thus, V(final solution) = 500.0 mL + 500.0 mL leads to V(final solution) = 1000 mL ÷ 1000 mL/L results in V(final solution) = 1 L. Then n(NO₃⁻) = 2 mol. Therefore, c(NO₃⁻) = n(NO₃⁻) ÷ V(final solution) finds c(NO₃⁻) = 2 mol ÷ 1 L and results in c(NO₃⁻) = 2 M; the concentration of nitrate anions in the final solution. 8) In solution b, there are 3.5 mol of potassium cations while part of that combines with 2 moles of nitrate anions: K⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) → KNO₃(aq). From the reaction: n(K⁺): n(NO₃⁻) = 1: 1. Thus, Δn(K⁺) = 3.5 mol - 2 mol results in Δn(K⁺) = 1.5 mol, signifying the remaining potassium anions in the final solution. Thus, c(K⁺) = Δn(K⁺) ÷ V(final solution) yields c(K⁺) = 1.5 mol ÷ 1 L, leading to c(K⁺) = 1.5 M; the final concentration of potassium cations.
From the provided data, the unknown mixture was composed of salt, salicylic acid, and sand. It is understandable that the student suspected the presence of sand, yet scientific experimentation must verify such assumptions. The test involving salt and salicylic acid reveals that salt dissolves in water, while salicylic acid is only slightly soluble, and sand does not dissolve at all. By introducing the unknown into water, the salt would dissolve first, followed by the partial dissolution of salicylic acid. Heating the mixture could allow for the evaporation of salicylic acid, resulting in the remaining salt. If traces of sand were observed in the dissolved sample, it could suggest contamination.
Response: Water is a polar substance, facilitating the dissolution of ionic compounds due to the principle that similar types mix.
Ionic interactions occur between salt and water
Sugar contains hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
[Hydrogen bond: this refers to the attraction between a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom (like F, O, or N) and another highly electronegative atom (F, O, or N)]
Thus, due to the presence of hydrogen bonds, sugar dissolves in water.
Clarification: Water molecules are polar, exhibiting partial positive charges on the hydrogen atoms and a partial negative charge on the oxygen atom. This allows them to interact with ionic compounds such as salt (NaCl). These interactions occur through the partial charges on water, which attract opposite charges. When dissolved in water, NaCl dissociates into sodium and chloride ions; sodium ions are surrounded by negatively charged oxygen from water, while chloride ions are surrounded by positively charged hydrogens from water. As a result, salt dissolves in water.
Sugar, being a covalent compound, has bonds where electrons are shared unevenly, creating slight positive and negative charges. This characteristic allows sugar to interact with the polar ends of water, facilitating its dissolution. Therefore, it can be stated that sugar dissolves in water due to both substances being polar.
In summary, water is capable of dissolving most polar or ionic substances, as seen with sugar and salt.
