(Multiple Choice, 30 pts)

A student wants to determine whether an unknown solid is an ionic compound. He puts some in water and finds that it does not dissolve. He says that this proves the solid is ionic. Which best evaluates the student's reasoning?

A. He is incorrect, because water can dissolve ionic solids.
B. The test proves nothing, because water dissolves all solids.
C. He is correct, because polar liquids cannot dissolve ionic solids.
D. The test proves nothing, because it only shows that the solid is a compound.

(I know water is polar, so I think its a?)

Answers

Answer 1

The student cannot prove that if the compound is ionic or covalent because not all ionic compounds dissolves in water. Some ionic compounds have higher lattice energy results in lower solubility. Thus, option D could be correct.

What are ionic compounds?

Ionic compounds are formed between metals and non metals. Metals are electron rich and they easily donate electrons to the non-metals. Non-metals are generally electronegative and they easily gains electrons from the metals.

Donating electrons make metals acquire positive charge and the non-metals acquire a  negative charge. This charge separation make the compound possess a permanent dipole moment. Which make them easily soluble in water by ion-dipole interaction.

However, some ionic compounds have very strong ionic bonds and their binding energy will be greater so that cannot be easily dissolved in water. For example, AgCl. Therefore, we cannot predict weather the compound is ionic or not by simply noting it solubility in water.

What volume of oxygen gas at 20°C and 0.919 atm is
consumed in the production of 5.00 g of iron(III) oxide from
metallic iron?
4Fe(s) + 302(g) → 2Fe2O3 (9)
LO2​

Answers

Answer:

Volume of oxygen gas is 78.47L

Explanation:

Data;

Temperature (T) = 20°C = (20 + 273.15)K = 293.15K

Pressure (P) = 0.919atm

Mass (m) = 5g

Volume (v) = ?

Equation of reaction;

4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃

From the equation of reaction, the number of moles of oxygen is 3.

To find the volume of oxygen produced, we'll have to use ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = ideal gas constant = 0.082J/mol.K

T = temperature of the ideal gas

PV = nRT

V = nRT/ P

V = (3 × 0.082 × 293.15) / 0.919

V = 72.1149 / 0.919

V = 78.47L

Volume of the gas is 78.47L

A student collects data during an experiment
Mass of empty beaker- 77.25
Mass of 100L water-100.0 g
Mass of salt- 20.0 g
Total mass-197.25 g

After the salt and water are mixed in the beaker and stirred for 1 minute what will be the mass of the contents

Answers

Answer:

The mass of the content = 120 g

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of empty beaker = 77.25  g

Mass of 100 L water = 100 g

Mass of salt = 20 g

Total mass = 197.25 g

Computation:

According to Law of Conservation of Mass:

According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, the physical and chemical properties of the substance changes during any type of physical or chemical process, but there is no change in their total mass.

So,

The mass of the content = Total mass - Mass of empty beaker

The mass of the content = 197.25 g  - 77.25  g

The mass of the content = 120 g

Answers

Answer: 8.1 days

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

[tex]t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}[/tex]

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant = x

a - x = amount left after decay process= [tex]\frac{x}{4}[/tex] 

a) to find rate constant

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

[tex]t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}[/tex]

[tex]k=\frac{0.693}{2.7days}=0.257days^{-1}[/tex]

b) for completion of one fourth of reaction

[tex]t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{x}{\frac{x}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{2.303}{0.257}\log{4}[/tex]

[tex]t=8.1days[/tex]

Thus after 8.1 days , one fourth of original amount will remain.

Research to find out what Molarity (mol/L) is measuring includes citation. What is the common word used to describe the measure of Molarity in the simulation?

Answers

Answer:

Molarity is a unit for expressing the concentration of a solution

Explanation:

Molarity is used to express the concentration of a solution. Also known as molar concentration, molarity is the number of moles of solute (the material dissolved) per liter of solution. It measures the concentration of a solution. The molarity of a solution is calculated by taking the moles of solute and dividing by the liters of solution. Hence, Molarity (M) indicates the number of moles of solute per liter of solution (moles/Liter) and is one of the most common units used to measure the concentration of a solution.

Molarity is commonly expressed as molar. Molar also refers to the unit of concentration called molarity, which is equal to the number of moles per liter of a solution. In chemistry, the term most often refers to molar concentration of a solute in a solution. Molar concentration unit also implies the units mol/L or M.

What is the percentage composition of cobalt in cobalt(II) fluoride, CoF2?

Answers

Answer:

60.8%

Explanation:

We'll begin obtaining the molar mass of cobalt(II) fluoride, CoF2. This can be done as shown below:

Molar mass of CoF2 = 59 + (19x2) = 97g/mol.

The percentage composition of cobalt in cobalt(II) fluoride, CoF2 is given by:

Mass of Co/Molar Mass of CoF2 x 100

=> 59/97 x 100 = 60.8%

Therefore, the percentage composition of cobalt in cobalt(II) fluoride, CoF2 is 60.8%

Answers

Answer: 179 of [tex]H_2O[/tex] will be produced.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

[tex]\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}[/tex]    

[tex]\text{Moles of} H_2=\frac{20.0g}{2.01g/mol}=9.95moles[/tex]

[tex]2H_2+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O[/tex]

2 moles of [tex]H_2[/tex] give =  2 moles of [tex]H_2O[/tex]

Thus 9.95 moles of [tex]H_2[/tex] will require=[tex]\frac{2}{2}\times 9.95=9.95moles[/tex]  of [tex]H_2O[/tex]

Mass of [tex]H_2O=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=9.95moles\times 18g/mol=179g[/tex]

Thus 179 of [tex]H_2O[/tex] will be produced.

Zinc reacts with iodine in a synthesis reaction: Zn + I2 → Znl2. What is the theoretical yield of Znl2, if 1.912 mol of zinc is used?

Answers

Answer:

610.3g

Explanation:

Zn:

m = 1.912

Zn : ZnI₂

1 : 1

1.912 : 1.912

ZnI₂:

m = 1.912  Mr = 65.4 + 2(126.9) = 319.2

mass = m×Mr:

mass = 1.912×319.2

mass = 610.3104 → 610.3g

The theoretical yield of Znl2, if 1.912 mol of zinc is used is 610.3g

Calculation of  theoretical yield:

Since Zinc reacts with iodine in a synthesis reaction: Zn + I2 → Znl2

And, there is 1.912 mol of zinc

So,

Zn : ZnI₂

1 : 1

And,

1.912 : 1.912

For

ZnI₂:

m = 1.912  Mr = 65.4 + 2(126.9) = 319.2

Now

mass = m×Mr:

= 1.912×319.2

= 610.3104

= 610.3g

Given the equation representing a solution equilibrium: BaSO4(s) <—> Ba2+ (aq) + SO4 2- (aq)

What occurs when Na2SO4(s) is added to this system, increasing the concentration of SO4 2- (aq)?

1) The equilibrium shifts to the left, and the concentration of Ba2+(aq) decreases
2)The equilibrium shifts to the left, and the concentration of Ba2+(aq) increases
3)The equilibrium shifts to the right, and the concentration of Ba2+(aq) decreases
4)The equilibrium shifts to the right, and the concentration of Ba2+(aq) increases

Answers

Answer:

The equilibrium shifts to the left, and the concentration of Ba2+(aq) decreases

Explanation:

Whenever a solution of an ionic substance comes into contact with another ionic compound with which it shares a common ion, the solubility of the ionic substance in solution decreases significantly.

In this case, both BaSO4 and Na2SO4 both possess the SO4^2- anion. Hence SO4^2- anion is the common ion. Given the equilibrium;

BaSO4(s) <—> Ba2+ (aq) + SO4 2- (aq), addition of Na2SO4 will decrease the solubility of BaSO4 due to the presence of a common SO4^2- anion compared to pure water.

This implies that the equilibrium will shift to the left, (more undissoctiated BaSO4) hence decreasing the Ba^2+(aq) concentration.

1) The equilibrium shifts to the left, and the concentration of [tex]Ba^{2+}[/tex](aq) decreases

Conditions for equilibrium:

Whenever a solution of an ionic substance comes into contact with another ionic compound with which it shares a common ion, the solubility of the ionic substance in the solution decreases significantly.

In this case, both BaSO₄ and Na₂SO₄ both possess the [tex]SO_4^{2-}[/tex] anion. Hence  [tex]SO_4^{2-}[/tex]  anion is the common ion.

Given the equilibrium;

[tex]BaSO_4(s) < = > Ba^{2+} (aq) + SO_4^{2-} (aq)[/tex],

The addition of Na₂SO₄ will decrease the solubility of BaSO₄ due to the presence of a common  [tex]SO_4^{2-}[/tex]  anion compared to pure water.

This implies that the equilibrium will shift to the left, (more undissociated BaSO₄ ) hence decreasing the [tex]Ba^{2+}[/tex]aq) concentration.

How many milliliters of 0.2 M NaOH are required to exactly neutralize 40 milliliters of 0.1 M HCl?

A) 10
B) 20
C) 40
D) 80

Answers

Answer:

Option B. 20mL

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Volume of base (Vb) =..?

Molarity of base (Mb) = 0.2M

Volume of acid (Va) = 40mL

Molarity of acid (Ma) = 0.1M

Step 2:

The balanced equation for the reaction.

HCl + NaOH —> NaCl + H2O

From the balanced equation above, the following were obtained:

Mole ratio of the acid (nA) = 1

Mole ratio of the base (nB) = 1

Step 3:

Determination of the volume of base, NaOH needed for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

MaVa/MbVb = nA/nB

0.1 x 40 / 0.2 x Vb = 1

Cross multiply

0.2 x Vb = 0.1 x 40

Divide both side by 0.2

Vb = 0.1 x 40 / 0.2

Vb = 20mL

Therefore, the volume of the base is 20mL.
