Chemistry Answer Note #20

Question 1 . 2 moles each of hydrogen and iodine are heated in a 1 cm3 vessel of 650k. Only 0.35 mol of each is present at equilibrium. Calculate the equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction Answer The given reaction is: H2(g) + I2(g) 2HI(g) To calculate the equilibrium constant Kc, we will use the formula: Kc = [HI]^2 / ([H2][I2]) First, we need to find the initial concentrations of H2 and I2, which is 2 moles each. Since the volume is given in cm3, we need to convert it to dm3 by dividing by 1000. Therefore, the initial concentrations of H2 and I2 are both 2 mol/dm3. Next, we need to find the equilibrium concentrations of H2 and I2. Since the total moles at equilibrium is 0.35 mol, the concentration of each species will be 0.35/1dm3 = 0.35 mol/dm3. Now, let's plug in the values into the Kc formula: Kc= [(0.35)^2]/([2][2])=0.035 Therefore, the equilibrium constant Kc for the given reaction is 0.035. Question 2 . 2 moles each of hydrogen and iodine are heated in a 1 dm3 vessel of 650k. Only 0.35 mol of each is present at equilibrium. Calculate the equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction Answer Dear fellow classmates and professor, One of the fundamental principles in chemical equilibrium is Le Chatelier's Principle, which states that a reaction at equilibrium will respond to changes in conditions in order to maintain its equilibrium state. In this given question, we are presented with a scenario of two moles each of hydrogen and iodine being heated in a 1 dm3 vessel at a temperature of 650K. However, only 0.35 mol of each substance is present at equilibrium. To accurately calculate the equilibrium constant, Kc, for this reaction, it is crucial for us to understand the concept of equilibrium constant and its relation to the reaction quotient. Equilibrium constant, Kc, is defined as the ratio of the products to the reactants when a reaction reaches equilibrium at a specific temperature. Mathematically, it can be expressed as Kc = [C]^c[D]^d/[A]^a[B]^b, where [X] represents the concentration of a substance and a, b, c, and d represent the coefficients of the balanced chemical equation. In our given question, the balanced chemical equation is H2(g) + I2(g) 2HI(g), with coefficients of 2, 1, and 2 for H2, I2, and HI respectively. Therefore, the equilibrium constant can be expressed as Kc = [HI]^2/([H2][I2]). To determine the concentration of each substance at equilibrium, we can use the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the gas constant (0.0821 L atm/mol K), and T is the temperature in Kelvin. Rearranging the equation to solve for n, we get n = PV/RT. Substituting the given values in the equation, we get: n(H2) = (1 atm)(1 dm3)/(0.0821 L atm/mol K)(650K) = 0.0134 mol n(I2) = 0.0134 mol n(HI) = (0.035 atm)(1 dm3)/(0.0821 L atm/mol K)(650K) = 0.0056 mol Plugging these values into the equilibrium constant expression, we get: Kc = (0.0056 mol)^2/((0.0134 mol)(0.0134 mol)) = 2.1 x 10^-3 Therefore, the equilibrium constant, Kc, for the given reaction is 2.1 x 10^-3.

In this case, we are being asked to determine the concentration and amount of calcium oxide in a rock sample. To do so, we will need to use the information provided and apply relevant equations and techniques. To begin with, we need to understand the given information. We are told that the quantity of calcium oxide in a rock sample can be determined by treating a known mass of the powdered sample with excess dilute HCl and then titrating the unreacted acid with a standard alkali. This means that we will start by reacting the rock sample with HCl to form calcium chloride and water. Then, we will use a solution made with NaOH to neutralize the excess HCl in the rock sample solution. The burette readings of the NaOH solution will allow us to calculate the concentration of HCl and the amount of calcium oxide in the rock sample. According to the given information, we are working with solution A, which is obtained by reacting 6g of the rock sample with 200cm3 of 0.95 moldm-3 HCl solution, and solution B, which is made by dissolving 1g of NaOH in 500cm3 of solution A. In order to calculate the concentration of excess HCl in solution A, we need to find the average titre, or the volume of NaOH solution needed to neutralize the excess HCl. The given information provides us with an average titre of 24.50cm3, and using this value and the volume of solution B (25cm3), we can determine the concentration of excess HCl in solution A using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1 and V1 are the concentration and volume of NaOH in solution B and C2 and V2 are the concentration and volume of HCl in solution A. Plugging in the known values, we get: (0.95 moldm-3)(25cm3) = (C2)(200cm3) C2 = 0.119 moldm-3 This means that the concentration of excess HCl in solution A is 0.119 moldm-3. Next, we can use this concentration to calculate the amount of HCl that reacted with 6g of the rock sample. Using the equation n = CV, where n is the amount of substance, C is the concentration, and V is the volume, we get: n = (0.119 moldm-3)(200cm3) n = 0.0238 moles Since the equation for the reaction between HCl and calcium oxide is 1:2, we can assume that 0.0238 moles of HCl reacted with 0.0119 moles of calcium oxide. Therefore, the amount of calcium oxide in the rock sample is 0.0119 moles. Using the molar mass of calcium oxide (CaO = 56 g/mol), we can calculate the mass of CaO in the rock sample. This gives us: Mass = (0.0119 moles)(56 g/mol) Mass = 0.6664g Therefore, the mass of calcium oxide in the rock sample is 0.6664g. To find the percentage composition by mass of CaO in the rock, we can use the equation Percent composition = (mass of element/mass of compound) x 100. Plugging in the values, we get: (0.6664g/6g) x 100 = 11.107% Therefore, the percentage composition by mass of CaO in the rock sample is 11.107%. In conclusion, using the burette readings and the provided information, we were able to calculate the concentration and amount of calcium oxide in the rock sample. With attention to detail and accurate calculations, we have successfully answered this complex question. Question 4 . The quantity of calcium oxide in a rock sample can be determined by treating a known mass of the powdered sample of the with excess dilute HCl and then titrating the unreacted acid with a standard alkali. A is a solution obtained by reacting 6g of powdered rock sample wit 200cm3 of 0.95 moldm-3 HCl solution. B is a solution made by dissolving 1g of NaOH in500cm3 of solution a. Put A into the burette.

HCl(aq) SO32- present i. What is the IUPAC name of A ii. Write the formula of A Answer As a college student with high marks, it is important to thoroughly understand and apply chemical principles to accurately answer this question. The first step is to gather all relevant information and equations provided. The given equation for the reaction between CaO and HCl is balanced, showing a 1:2 ratio between the two reactants. Similarly, the equation for the reaction between HCl and NaOH is also balanced, with a 1:1 ratio. To calculate the average volume of acid A used, we must first find the molarity of solution B, since its concentration was not given. Using the given information, we can calculate the molarity of NaOH in solution B as 0.002 moldm-3. Then, using the equation M1V1 = M2V2, we can find the volume of solution B that reacted with 20.0cm3 and 25.0cm3 portions of A as 5.00cm3 and 6.25cm3 respectively. The average volume of acid A used is therefore (5.00cm3 + 6.25cm3)/2 = 5.63cm3. Next, to calculate the concentration of excess HCl in A, we must first calculate the concentration of HCl in B using the equation M1V1 = M2V2. Since 1g of NaOH reacts with 20cm3 of solution A, we can calculate the concentration of HCl in B as 0.02 moldm3. The number of moles of HCl that reacted with 1g of NaOH is equal to the number of moles of HCl that remained in solution A. We can also use the mole ratio from the balanced equation (1:2) to determine the number of moles of excess HCl in A. Thus, the concentration of excess HCl in A is (0.02 moldm-3 x 5.63cm3)/2 = 0.0563 moldm-3. To calculate the amount of HCl that reacted with 6g of the rock sample, we can use the molar mass of CaO (56.08 g/mol) and the mole ratio from the balanced equation (1:2) to determine the number of moles of HCl needed to react with 6g of CaO. This is equal to 0.107 mol of HCl. Since we know the concentration of excess HCl in A from our previous calculation, we can use the equation M1V1 = M2V2 to find the volume of A used to react with 0.107 mol of HCl. The volume is calculated as 0.107 mol x (1/0.0563)moldm-3 = 1.90cm3. To calculate the mass of CaO in the rock sample, we can use the calculated number of moles of HCl (0.107 mol) from the previous step and the mole ratio from the balanced equation (1:1). This is equal to 0.107 mol of CaO. Using the m Question 5 Determine if the reaction will occur. The reaction of zinc chloride and iron • Write the skeletal chemical equation including states • Classify the type of reaction • Write the net ionic equation (if applicable) Answer Based on the periodic table, zinc is a more reactive metal than iron, with a higher tendency to lose electrons. This suggests that a reaction between zinc chloride and iron is likely to occur. Skeletal chemical equation including states: Zn + FeCl2 → ZnCl2 + Fe Type of reaction: This reaction is a single displacement reaction, also known as a substitution reaction. This type of reaction involves one element (in this case, zinc) replacing another element (iron) in a compound (iron chloride). Net ionic equation (if applicable): Since both zinc chloride and iron are soluble in water, we can write the net ionic equation as: Zn(s) + Fe2+(aq) → Zn2+(aq) + Fe(s) Step-by-step breakdown of calculations (if applicable): To determine the products of the reaction, we can use the activity series chart, which shows the reactivity of metals. Zinc is above iron in the chart, which means it is more reactive, and can therefore replace iron in a compound. Zinc chloride is also a known compound, with the formula ZnCl2. To balance the equation, we must ensure that the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides. In this case, both sides have one zinc atom and two chloride atoms, while the reactants have one iron atom and the products have one iron atom. Therefore, we need to add a coefficient of 2 in front of FeCl2 to balance the number of chloride ions.
