Answer:

a. HCl.

b. 0.057 g.

c. 1.69 g.

d. 77 %.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid is:

$Mg+2HCl\rightarrow MgCl_2+H_2$

Whereas there is 1:2 mole ratio between them.

a) Here, we can identify the limiting reactant as that yielded the fewest moles of hydrogen gas product via the 1:1 and 2:1 mole ratios:

$n_{H_2}^{by\ HCl}=0.025L*2.27\frac{molHCl}{1L}*\frac{1molH_2}{2molHCl} =0.0284molH_2\\\\n_{H_2}^{by\ Mg}=2.38gMg*\frac{1molMg}{24.3gMg}*\frac{1molH_2}{1molMg}=0.0979molH_2$

Thus, since hydrochloric yields fewer moles of hydrogen than magnesium, we realize it is the limiting reactant.

b) Here, we use the molar mass of gaseous hydrogen (2.02 g/mol) to compute the mass:

$m_{H_2}=0.0284molH_2*\frac{2.02gH_2}{1molH_2}=0.057gH_2$

c) Here, we compute the mass of magnesium associated with the yielded 0.0248 moles of hydrogen:

$m_{Mg}^{reacted}=0.0284molH_2*\frac{1molMg}{1molH_2}*\frac{24.3gMg}{1molMg} =0.690gMg$

Thus, the mass of excess magnesium turns out:

$m_{Mg}^{excess}=2.38g-0.690g=1.69gMg$

d) Finally, we compute the percent yield, considering 0.044 g is the actual yield and 0.057 g the theoretical yield:

$Y=\frac{0.044g}{0.057g} *100\%\\\\Y=77\%$

Best regards!

what is the approximate ph at the equivalence point of a weak acid-strong base titration if 25 ml of aqueous formic acid require

vivado [14]

Answer:

pH at equivalence point is 8.52

Explanation:

$HCOOH+NaOH\rightarrow HCOO^{-}Na^{+}+H_{2}O$

1 mol of HCOOH reacts with 1 mol of NaOH to produce 1 mol of $HCOO^{-}$

So, moles of NaOH used to reach equivalence point equal to number of moles $HCOO^{-}$ produced at equivalence point.

As density of water is 1g/mL, therefore molarity is equal to molality of an aqueous solution.

So, moles of $HCOO^{-}$ produced = $\frac{29.80\times 0.3567}{1000}moles=0.01063moles$

Total volume of solution at equivalence point = (25+29.80) mL = 54.80 mL

So, at equivalence point concentration of $HCOO^{-}$ = $\frac{0.01063\times 1000}{54.80}M=0.1940M$

At equivalence point, pH depends upon hydrolysis of $HCOO^{-}$ . So, we have to construct an ICE table.

$HCOO^{-}+H_{2}O\rightleftharpoons HCOOH+OH^{-}$

I: 0.1940 0 0

C: -x +x +x

E: 0.1940-x x x

So, $\frac{[HCOOH][OH^{-}]}{[HCOO^{-}]}=K_{b}(HCOO^{-})=\frac{10^{-14}}{Ka(HCOOH)}$

species inside third bracket represent equilibrium concentrations

So, $\frac{x^{2}}{0.1940-x}=5.56\times 10^{-11}$

or, $x^{2}+(5.56\times 10^{-11}\times x)-(1.079\times 10^{-11})=0$

So, $x=\frac{-(5.56\times 10^{-11})+\sqrt{(5.56\times 10^{-11})^{2}+(4\times 1.079\times 10^{-11})}}{2}$

So, $x=3.285\times 10^{-6}M$

So, $pH=14-pOH=14+log[OH^{-}]=14+logx=14+log(3.285\times 10^{-6})=8.52$

A defibrillator delivers about 300 joules per shock calculate the number of calories

Tanya [424]

Answer:- 71.7 calories

Solution:- it is a unit conversion problem where we need to convert joules into calories.

The unit conversion for these energy units is:

1 calorie = 4.184 joule

The given energy is 300 joules and has to be converted to calories. We will show the set up using dimensional analysis.

$300joules(\frac{1calorie}{4.184joules})$

= 71.7 calories

So, the energy in calories is 71.7.
