5H6O3(g) was sealed into an otherwise empty 2.50 L flask and heated to 200.°C, the pressure in the flask gradually rose to 1.63 atm and remained at that value. Calculate K for this reaction.

Response:

K = 6.5 × 10⁻⁶

Detailed Explanation:

C₅H₆O₃ ⇄ C₂H₆ + 3CO

Apply PV=nRT to determine the initial pressure of C₅H₆O₃

P (2.50) = (0.0493) (0.08206) (473)

P = 0.78atm

C₅H₆O₃ ⇄ C₂H₆ + 3CO

0.78atm      0           0

0.78 - x        x           3x

1.63atm = 0.78 - x + x + 3x

P(total) = 0.288atm

C₅H₆O₃ = 0.78 - 0.288

             = 0.489atm

C₂H₆ = 0.288atm

CO = 0.846atm

K_p = \frac{0.288 * 0.864^3}{0.489}

     = 0.379

K = \frac{K_p}{RT^3}

K = \frac{0.379}{(0.0821 * 473)^3}

   = 6.5 × 10⁻⁶

Excess aqueous copper(II) nitrate reacts with aqueous sodium sulfide to produce aqueous sodium nitrate and copper(II) sulfide as
Tems11 [2777]

The question lacks completeness; the full question is:

Determine the theoretical yield:

When excess aqueous copper(II) nitrate reacts with aqueous sodium sulfide, sodium nitrate and copper(II) sulfide precipitate. For this reaction, 469 grams of copper(II) nitrate was combined with 156 grams of sodium sulfide yielding 272 grams of sodium nitrate.

Answer:

The theoretical yield of sodium nitrate is 340 grams.

Explanation:

Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+Na_2S(aq)\rightarrow 2NaNO_3(aq)+CuS(s)

Calculating moles of copper(II) nitrate = \frac{469 g}{187.5 g/mol}=2.5013 mol

Moles of sodium sulfide = \frac{156 g}{78 g/mol}=2 mol

Based on the reaction, 1 mole of copper(II) nitrate reacts with 1 mole of sodium sulfide.

Thus, 2 moles of sodium sulfide will react with:

\frac{1}{1}\times 2mol= 2 mol of copper(II) nitrate

Since sodium sulfide is in limiting quantities, the amount of sodium nitrate produced will depend on the moles of sodium sulfide available.

According to the reaction, 1 mole of sodium sulfide generates 2 moles of sodium nitrate; thus, 2 moles of sodium sulfide will yield:

\frac{2}{1}\times 2mol=4 mol sodium nitrate

The total mass of 4 moles of sodium nitrate is:

85 g/mol × 4 mol = 340 g

The theoretical yield of sodium nitrate amounts to 340 g.

The theoretical yield of sodium nitrate is 340 grams.

41. A 13.0% solution of K2CO3 by mass has a density of 1.09 g/cm3. Calculate the molality of the solution.
lions [2927]

Answer:

The molality of the solution is 1.08 m.

Explanation:

First, determine the mass of the solvent.

A 13% solution by mass indicates that 13 grams are found in every 100 grams of solution.

Thus, solution mass = solute mass + solvent mass

100 g = 13 g + solvent mass

Therefore, solvent mass = 100 g - 13 g → 87 g

Next, we calculate the moles of solute (mass / molar mass):

13 g / 138.2 g/mol = 0.094 moles

Finally, to find the molality, which is the moles of solute per 1 kg of solvent (mol/kg), we convert the solvent mass to kg:

87 g. 1 kg / 1000 g = 0.087 kg

Then, molality → 0.094 mol / 0.087 kg = 1.08 m

Glycolic acid, which is a monoprotic acid and a constituent in sugar cane, has a pKa of 3.9. A 25.0 mL solution of glycolic acid
eduard [2782]

Answer:

pH = 8.0

Explanation:

Initially, we need to determine the moles of NaOH.

35.8 \times 10^{-3}L.\frac{0.020mol}{L} =7.2\times 10^{-4}mol

Consider the balanced reaction.

C₂H₄O₃ + NaOH ⇒ C₂H₃O₃Na + H₂O

The molar ratio among C₂H₄O₃, NaOH, and C₂H₃O₃Na is 1: 1: 1. Therefore, if 7.2 × 10⁻⁴ moles of NaOH completely react with 7.2 × 10⁻⁴ moles of C₂H₄O₃, they will yield 7.2 × 10⁻⁴ moles of C₂H₃O₃Na.

To find the concentration of C₂H₃O₃Na, we note that:

\frac{7.2\times 10^{-4}mol}{60.8 \times 10^{-3}L} =0.012M

C₂H₃O₃Na dissociates as follows:

C₂H₃O₃Na(aq) ⇒ C₂H₃O₃⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq)

The anion C₂H₃O₃⁻ originates from a weak acid, which thus goes through basic hydrolysis.

C₂H₃O₃⁻ + H₂O ⇄ C₂H₄O₃ + OH⁻

Given that the pKa for C₂H₄O₃ is 3.9, we can derive pKb for C₂H₃O₃⁻ using this relation:

pKa + pKb = 14

pKb = 14 - 3.9 = 10.1

10.1 = -log Kb

Kb = 7.9 × 10⁻¹¹

We can compute [OH⁻] through the equation:

[OH⁻] = √(Kb.Cb)               where Cb indicates the base's initial concentration

[OH⁻] = √(7.9 × 10⁻¹¹ × 0.012M) = 9.7 × 10⁻⁷ M

We can then find pOH and pH.

pOH = -log [OH⁻] = -log (9.7 × 10⁻⁷) = 6.0

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 6.0 = 8.0

A gold atom has a radius of 145 pm. If you could string gold atoms like beads on a thread, how many atoms would you need to have
VMariaS [2998]
Initially we need to perform the conversion:145 pm = 145 * 10^(-12) m; 36 cm = 360 mm = 360 * 10^(-3) m. Then, we can calculate: 360 * 10^(-3) m / 145 * 10^(-12) m = 360 * 10^(-3) * 10^(12) / 145 = 2.482758621 * 10^(9) or:2,482,758,621 atoms.

Write a balanced half-reaction describing the reduction of gaseous dibromine to aqueous bromide anions.
VMariaS [2998]
The following is the balanced half-reaction. A reduction reaction is characterized by an atom gaining electrons, resulting in a decrease in its oxidation number. During the reduction of bromine gas to bromide ions, two electrons are transferred. The corresponding chemical equation for this transition is provided above.
