Passing an electric current through a sample of water (H2O) can cause the water to decompose into hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen gas (O2) according to the following equation. 2H2O mc026-1.jpg 2H2 + O2 The molar mass of H2O is 18.01 g/mol. The molar mass of O2 is 32.00 g/mol. What mass of H2O, in grams, must react to produce 50.00 g of O2? 14.07 23.05 28.14 56.28

Answers

2H2O --> 2H2 + O2
The mole H2O:mole O2 ratio is 2:1
Now determine how many moles of O2 are in 50g: 50g × 1mol/32g = 1.56 moles O2
Since 1 mole of O2 was produced for every 2 moles of H2O, we need 2×O2moles = H2O moles
2×1.56 = 3.13 moles H2O
Finally, convert moles to grams for H2O:
3.13moles × 18g/mol = 56.28 g H2O
D) 56.28

The correct answer is D: 56.31 grams

A chemistry teacher adds 50.0 mL of 1.50 M H2SO4 solution to 200 mL of water. What is the concentration of the final solution? Use .

Answers

Hello!

The concentration of the final solution when a chemistry teacher adds 50.0 mL of 1.50 M H2SO4 solution to 200 mL of water is 0,3 M

To calculate that, you'll need to use the dilution law, where initial and final concentrations are M1 and M2 respectively, and initial and final volumes are V1 and V2, as shown below. Keep in mind that the final volume is the sum of the 200 mL of water and the 50 mL of H₂SO₄ that were added by the teacher. 

[tex]M2= \frac{M1*V1}{V2}= \frac{1,50 (mol H_2SO_4/L)*50mL}{(50 mL + 200 mL)}=0,3(mol H_2SO_4/L)[/tex]

If 0.98 moles of BaCl2 are dissolved in enough water to make a 1.2-liter solution, what is the resulting molarity?
A. 0.55 M BaCl2
B. 0.82 M BaCl2
C. 1.2 M BaCl2
D. 0.45 M BaCl2

Answers

Correct Answer: Option B i.e. 0.82 M

Reason:
Given: number of moles of BaCl2 = 0.98, Volume of solution = 1.2 l

Molarity of solution = [tex] \frac{\text{number of moles}}{\text{volume of solution (l)}} [/tex]
                               = [tex] \frac{0.98}{1.21} [/tex]
                               = 0.82 M

 Thus, molarity of the solution is 0.82 M
The answer is B. 0.82 M BaCl2

How to generate the answer:

Let:

n = amount of substance
V = volume of solution

Equation for n:

n (BaCl2) = 0.98 mol. (unit of mole)

Equation for V:

V (solution) = 1.2L

Required:

c(BaCl2) =?

Equation for the whole problem:

c(BaCl2) = n (BaCl2) / V (solution)

c(BaCl2) = 0.98 mol / 1.2L

c(BaCl2) = 0.82 mol/L

= 0.82 M

Thus,

the resulting molarity is 0.82 M BaCl2

A system at equilibrium is placed under stress by adding more reactant. If this reaction has a small equilibrium constant (Keq), how will the addition of this stress affect the equilibrium of this system.

Question options:

The equilibrium will shift to produce more reactant.

The equilibrium will shift to produce more product.

There is no way to predict how the stress will affect this system without more information.

The reaction will generate more heat.

Answers

The answer is the equilibrium will shift to produce more product. In accordance to Le Chatelier's principle, Q<Keq, this means the equilibrium shifts so that Q increases to equal Keq again, going against the disturbance. The equilibrium frequently tries to undo the given disturbance. To summarize, Since Q<Keq after the stress, Q↑ to answer the stress by creating more products.

The name of the commonly used hardness scale is: specific gravity organic Mohs inorganic

Answers

The Mohs Hardness Scale is by far the most commonly used hardness scale.

It rates minerals on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the softest and 10 being the hardest.

At a 1 on the scale is talc, the softest mineral. At a 5 on the scale is apatite, with a medium value of hardness.  At a 10 is diamond, the hardest mineral. 

A way to discover where a mineral lands on the Mohs scale is to try a scratch test. In this test, you take two minerals and streak one of minerals on the other one to see if it leaves a scratch. If the mineral does leave a scratch, it is harder than the mineral being scratched. If the other mineral instead leaves a scratch on the mineral being used to scratch, the mineral being used to scratch is harder.

Here's an example: If you try to scratch a diamond with some talc, the talc will come away with a rather large scratch as diamond is much harder. Conversely, if you scratch talc with a diamond, the talc will still come away with a scratch because it is much softer than the diamond. You can use trial and error to find the hardness of a mineral if you are not sure.

Answer:

The Mohs Hardness Scale is by far the most commonly used hardness scale.

What is the total number of neutrons in an atom of 0-18?

Answers

A = mass number, A = protons + neutrons 
Z = atomic number, Z = protons 
neutrons = A - Z 
neutrons = 18 - 8 = 10 

Answer: The number of neutrons in given isotope are 10

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

The isotopic representation of an atom is: [tex]_Z^A\textrm{X}[/tex]

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

We are given:

An isotope having formula:  [tex]_{8}^{18}\textrm{O}[/tex]

Atomic number = Number of protons = 8

Mass number = 18

Number of neutrons = 18 - 8 = 10

Hence, the number of neutrons in given isotope are 10

Hence, 1.68×10^26 molecules will have a mass of ;
   (44.01 × 1.68×0^26) / 6.022×10^23
   = 1.228 × 10^4 molecules


Answer:

There is [tex]12277.494g[/tex] of CO2

Explanation:

We know that the molar mass of CO2 is [tex]44.01\frac{g}{mol}[/tex]

This means that in 1 mole of molecules of CO2 is 44.01 g of CO2

In one mole of molecules of any substance there are N molecules where N is defined as the Avogadro number.

[tex]N=AvogadroNumber=(6.02214076).10^{23}[/tex]

Therefore, we can write that

In [tex](6.02214076).10^{23}[/tex] molecules of CO2 (1 mole of CO2) there is 44.01 g of CO2 ⇒

In [tex](1.68).10^{26}[/tex] molecules of CO2 there will be x grams :

[tex]x=\frac{(44.01).(1.68).10^{26}}{(6.02214076).10^{23}}g=12277.494g[/tex]

We answer that in [tex](1.68).10^{26}[/tex] molecules of CO2 there is [tex]12277.494g[/tex] of CO2

In the balanced redox reaction: 2 cu(s) + s(s) ® cu2s(s), how many electrons are gained or lost by each copper atom? select one:
a. each copper atom gains two (2) electrons.
b. each copper atom gains one (1) electron.
c. each copper atom loses one (1) electron.
d. each copper atom loses two (2) electrons.

Answers

The answer: C) each copper atom loses one (1) electron.

2Cu + S ⇒ Cu₂S

2Cu⁰ ⇒ 2Cu⁺ + 2e⁻    oxydation

2e⁻ + S⁰ ⇒ S⁻²            reduction 

In the reaction, copper is oxidized and it releases an electron and transfers it to the sulfur atom. In contrast to copper, sulfur is reduced and it receives two electrons.

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given reaction equation is as follows.

            [tex]2Cu(s) + S(s) \rightarrow Cu_{2}S(s)[/tex]

The oxidation-reduction half reactions will be as follows.

Oxidation : [tex]Cu(s) \rightarrow Cu^{+} + 1e^{-}[/tex]

Reduction: [tex]S(s) + 2e^{-} \rightarrow S^{2-} [/tex]

By balancing the above half reactions, oxidation-half reaction will be as follows.

              [tex]2Cu(s) \rightarrow 2Cu^{+} + 2e^{-}[/tex]

Whereas reduction-half reaction will remain the same.

Hence, it shows that each copper atom is losing one electron to combine with a sulfur atom.

Therefore, we can conclude that each copper atom loses one (1) electron.

How many electrons does the predictable (most common) ion of calcium contain?

Answers

Answer: 18

Justification:

1) The most common ion of calcium is Ca 2+

3) The atomic number of calcium is 20.

4) Atomic number is the number of protons, so calcium has 20 protons.

5) Therefore, the neutral atom of calcium also has 20 electrons (to make a net charge of zero).

6) Then, the ion Ca 2+ has 20 - 2 = 18 electrons.

Which would you expect to experience a greater effective nuclear charge? which would you expect to experience a greater effective nuclear charge? a 2p electron of an atom a 3s electron of a na atom?

Answers

Answer: in atom of sodium (Na) you would expect that a 2p electron experience a greater effective nuclear charge.

Explanation:

 
The effective nuclear charge, Zefff, is the net positive charge experienced by an electron in an atom with more than one electron.

The outer electrons of an atom with several or many electron are simultaneously attracted to the protons in the nucleus and repelled by the negatively charged electrons.

The effective nuclear charge on that electron is calculated using this equation:

Z eff = Z − S, where Z is the number of protons in the nucleus (atomic number), and S is the average number of electrons between the nucleus and the electron in question (the number of non-valence electrons).

For sodium (Na) atomZ is 11, and the electron configuration of the sodium (Na) atom is:

Na (Z=11) : 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1

So, the effective nuclear charge of the electrons in the 2p orbitals is greater than the effective nuclear charge of the electron in 3s, given that the there are 10 electrons closer to the nucleus  than the electron in the 3s orbtial, while there are only 4 electrons closer to the nucleus than the 2p electrons.

This is, for a given atom, the further away is one electron from the nucleus the less the effective nuclear charge. That is what is happening with the 3s electron, which is a valence electron.

A 2p electron of a Ne atom
