What conditions would favour maximum conversion of nitrogen (II) oxide and carbon (II) oxide in the reaction above?
Detalhes da Resposta
The given reaction is exothermic, which means it releases heat when the reaction proceeds. According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the pressure and decreasing the temperature favors the reaction that produces fewer moles of gas. In this case, the reaction produces 2 moles of gas (N2 and CO2) from 2 moles of gas (NO and CO). So, decreasing the temperature and increasing the pressure will shift the equilibrium towards the side with fewer moles of gas, i.e., the forward reaction. Therefore, the conditions that would favor maximum conversion of nitrogen (II) oxide and carbon (II) oxide are low temperature and high pressure. Hence, the correct answer is: Low temperature and high pressure.

Calculate the volume of carbon (IV)oxide measured at s.t.p, produced when 1 kg of potassium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) is totally decomposed by heat?(G.M.V. at s.t.p 22.4 dm3, K = 39, O = 16, C = 12, H = 1)
Detalhes da Resposta
The question is asking for the volume of carbon dioxide produced when 1 kg of potassium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) is decomposed at standard temperature and pressure (STP). We can start by writing the balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of potassium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV): 2KHCO3(s) → K2CO3(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g) From this equation, we see that for every 2 moles of potassium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) decomposed, 1 mole of carbon dioxide is produced. The molar mass of KHCO3 is: 1(39) + 1(12) + 3(16) = 100 g/mol Therefore, 1 kg (1000 g) of KHCO3 is equal to: 1000 g / 100 g/mol = 10 mol Since 2 moles of KHCO3 produce 1 mole of CO2, the number of moles of CO2 produced is: 10 mol / 2 = 5 mol At STP, 1 mole of any ideal gas occupies 22.4 dm^3. Therefore, the volume of CO2 produced is: 5 mol x 22.4 dm^3/mol = 112 dm^3 So the answer is 112 dm^3. Therefore, the correct option is: - 112 dm^3

Which of the following represents the type of bonding present in ammonium chloride molecule?
Detalhes da Resposta
Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is a compound composed of positively charged ammonium ions (NH4+) and negatively charged chloride ions (Cl-). The type of bonding present in a molecule is determined by the difference in electronegativity between the atoms in the molecule. Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself. In ammonium chloride, nitrogen (N) has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen (H), and chlorine (Cl) has a higher electronegativity than nitrogen. This means that the bonding between hydrogen and nitrogen is covalent, where the electrons are shared between the two atoms. However, the bonding between ammonium and chloride is ionic, where the ammonium ion (NH4+) donates its electron to the chloride ion (Cl-) to form an ionic bond. Therefore, the type of bonding present in ammonium chloride is ionic and covalent. "Ionic and dative covalent," is the correct choice.

Which of the following compounds can exist as geometric isomers?
Detalhes da Resposta
Geometric isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula, the same connectivity of atoms, and different arrangements of their substituent atoms in space. For compounds to be able to exist as geometric isomers, they must have a carbon-carbon double bond or a carbon-carbon triple bond. In the options given, only 2-methylbut-2ene and but-2-ene have a carbon-carbon double bond, which means they can exist as geometric isomers. But-1-ene does not have a double bond, and CI-C-Br is not an organic compound and does not have a carbon-carbon bond, so they cannot exist as geometric isomers. Therefore, the answer is: - 2-methylbut-2ene - But-2-ene

A given quantity of a gas occupies a volume of 228 cm3 at a pressure of 750mm Hg. What will be its volume at atmospheric pressure?
Detalhes da Resposta
We can use the combined gas law to solve this problem, which states that the product of pressure and volume is directly proportional to the product of the number of moles of gas and the absolute temperature. Since the number of moles of gas and the temperature are constant, we can use the following equation: P1V1 = P2V2 where P1 is the initial pressure, V1 is the initial volume, P2 is the final pressure (atmospheric pressure), and V2 is the final volume (what we want to find). Substituting the values given in the problem, we get: (750 mm Hg)(228 cm^3) = (760 mm Hg)(V2) Solving for V2, we get: V2 = (750 mm Hg)(228 cm^3) / (760 mm Hg) V2 = 225 cm^3 Therefore, the volume of the gas at atmospheric pressure would be 225 cm^3. The answer is option (B).

Detalhes da Resposta
Magnesium (IV) oxide works as a catalyst in the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, which means it helps speed up the reaction without getting used up in the process. The main action of the catalyst is to lower the activation energy for the reaction, making it easier for the reactants to overcome the energy barrier and react with each other. This makes the reaction occur more quickly than it would without the catalyst. Therefore, the correct option is: "lower the activation energy for the reaction".

1.1 g of CaCI2 dissolved in 50 cm3 of water caused a rise in temperature of3.4°C. The heat of reaction, ∆H for CaCI2 in kj per mole is?
(Ca = 40, CI = 35.5, specific heat of water is 4.18 jk-1
Detalhes da Resposta
This is a problem in thermodynamics that involves the calculation of the heat of reaction (∆H) for the dissolution of CaCl2 in water. The equation for the dissolution reaction is: CaCl2 (s) + H2O (l) → Ca2+ (aq) + 2Cl- (aq) The given information is: mass of CaCl2 = 1.1 g, volume of water = 50 cm3, temperature rise = 3.4°C, specific heat of water = 4.18 J K-1 g-1, and atomic weights of Ca and Cl are 40 and 35.5, respectively. To calculate ∆H, we need to use the equation: ∆H = -q / n where q is the heat absorbed by the solution (water + CaCl2), and n is the number of moles of CaCl2 dissolved. First, we need to calculate the number of moles of CaCl2: n = mass / molar mass n = 1.1 g / (40 g/mol + 2 x 35.5 g/mol) = 0.010 mol Next, we need to calculate the heat absorbed by the solution: q = m x c x ΔT where m is the mass of the solution, c is the specific heat of the solution, and ΔT is the temperature rise. The mass of the solution can be calculated from the density of water: density = mass / volume mass = density x volume mass = 1 g/cm3 x 50 cm3 = 50 g Now we can calculate q: q = 50 g x 4.18 J K-1 g-1 x 3.4°C = 714 J Finally, we can calculate ∆H: ∆H = -714 J / 0.010 mol = -71.4 kJ/mol Therefore, the answer is -71.1 kJ, which is closest to.

An iron ore is known to contain 70.0% Fe2O3. The obtain from 80kg of the ore is?(Fe = 56, O = 16)
Detalhes da Resposta
The given iron ore contains 70.0% Fe2O3, which means that for every 100 grams of the ore, 70 grams is Fe2O3 and 30 grams is other substances. We are asked to determine the amount of Fe obtained from 80 kg of the ore. To solve this problem, we need to first calculate the amount of Fe2O3 in 80 kg of the ore. Since the ore contains 70.0% Fe2O3, the amount of Fe2O3 in 80 kg of the ore is: 70.0% × 80 kg = 0.70 × 80 kg = 56 kg Next, we need to calculate the amount of Fe in 56 kg of Fe2O3. The molecular weight of Fe2O3 is: 2(Fe) + 3(O) = 2(56 g/mol) + 3(16 g/mol) = 160 g/mol This means that 1 mole of Fe2O3 contains 2 moles of Fe. Therefore, the number of moles of Fe in 56 kg of Fe2O3 is: (56 kg) / (160 g/mol) × (2 mol Fe / 1 mol Fe2O3) = 0.7 mol Fe Finally, we can calculate the amount of Fe in 80 kg of the ore by multiplying the number of moles of Fe by the molar mass of Fe: 0.7 mol Fe × 56 g/mol = 39.2 kg Therefore, the amount of Fe obtained from 80 kg of the ore is 39.2 kg. Hence, the correct answer is option (B) 39.2 kg.

Detalhes da Resposta
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, while a colloidal dispersion is a heterogeneous mixture where particles are dispersed in a continuous medium. One property of a colloidal dispersion that a solution does not have is the Tyndall effect. The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by colloidal particles, which makes the path of the light visible. In a solution, the particles are too small to scatter light, so the path of light is not visible. Homogeneity, osmotic pressure, and surface polarity are properties that both solutions and colloidal dispersions can have.

Detalhes da Resposta
The liquid described as having a high boiling point, being viscous, non-toxic, miscible with water, and very hygroscopic is most likely to be which is CH2OHCHOHCH2OH. The key characteristics of the liquid can help us identify its chemical structure. A high boiling point indicates that the liquid has strong intermolecular forces, which are likely to be due to the presence of hydrogen bonds. Viscosity is also related to intermolecular forces; a highly viscous liquid indicates strong forces between its molecules. The liquid is also described as being miscible with water, meaning that it can mix with water in any proportion. This property suggests that the liquid contains polar groups that can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Additionally, the liquid is hygroscopic, which means that it has a strong affinity for water and can absorb moisture from the air. This property further supports the presence of polar groups in the liquid. By looking at the chemical structures of the options, we can see that only CH2OHCHOHCH2OH, contains multiple hydroxyl (-OH) groups, which are highly polar and capable of forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules. These hydroxyl groups also contribute to the liquid's high boiling point and viscosity, as they can form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with other molecules of the liquid. Therefore, based on the given properties and chemical structures of the options, we can conclude that the liquid in question is most likely to be CH2OHCHOHCH2OH.

Detalhes da Resposta
When ethene (C2H4) is passed into concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4), the ethene molecule gets protonated by H+ ions from the acid. This leads to the formation of a carbocation intermediate. Next, water is added to the carbocation to form an alcohol. In this case, since the product is being warmed, the most likely product formed is ethanol (C2H5OH). The reaction can be represented by the following equation: C2H4 + H2SO4 → C2H5OH Therefore, the correct option is "ethanol."

Fractional distillation is a process used to separate a mixture of different substances with different boiling points. The substance with the lowest boiling point will vaporize first and can be collected as a separate fraction. By repeating the process, each component of the mixture can be obtained in a separate fraction. Out of the given options, nitrogen from liquid air can be obtained by fractional distillation because liquid air is a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, and other gases, and they have different boiling points. By fractional distillation, nitrogen can be separated from the mixture. Sodium chloride from seawater, iodine from a solution of iodine in carbon tetrachloride, and sulfur from a solution of sulfur in carbon disulfide cannot be obtained by fractional distillation because they are not mixtures of substances with different boiling points. Sodium chloride is a compound, and iodine and sulfur are elements. To obtain them, other methods such as precipitation, filtration, or chemical reactions would be necessary.

Detalhes da Resposta
The false statement is "contains X2+ ions". When atoms of X (with 2 electrons in the outer shell) combine with atoms of Y (with 7 electrons in the outer shell), they are likely to form an ionic bond. In this bond, the X atom loses 2 electrons to become a cation with a 2+ charge (X2+), and the Y atom gains one electron to become an anion with a 1- charge (Y-). Therefore, the compound formed contains Y- ions but not X2+ ions, making statement 3 false. The compound formed will have a formula of XY because the cation (X2+) and anion (Y-) combine in a 1:1 ratio to form an electrically neutral compound.

What volume of CO2 at s.t.p would be obtained by reacting trioxocarbonate (IV) with excess acid?(G.M.V at s.t.p = 22.4 dm3)
Detalhes da Resposta
The balanced equation for the reaction between trioxocarbonate (IV) and an acid is: CO2(g) + 2H+(aq) → H2O(l) + CO2(g) From the equation, we can see that one mole of trioxocarbonate (IV) reacts with two moles of H+ to produce one mole of CO2. At standard temperature and pressure (STP), one mole of any gas occupies 22.4 dm3 (or 22,400 cm3). Since the question states that there is an excess of acid, we can assume that all the trioxocarbonate (IV) will react, meaning that we only need to consider the amount of CO2 produced from one mole of the compound. Therefore, the volume of CO2 at STP produced from one mole of trioxocarbonate (IV) is 22.4 dm3 (or 22,400 cm3). Therefore, the correct answer is option B: 22.40 cm3.

The solubility of copper (II) tetraoxosulphate (Iv) is 75g in 100g of water at 100°C and 25g in 100g of water at 30°C. What mass of the salt would crystallize, if 50g of copper (II) tetraoxosulphate (VI) solution saturated at 100°C were cooled to 30°C ?
Detalhes da Resposta
The solubility of copper (II) tetraoxosulphate (IV) is given as 75g in 100g of water at 100°C and 25g in 100g of water at 30°C. This means that at 100°C, 100g of water can dissolve up to 75g of the salt while at 30°C, 100g of water can dissolve up to 25g of the salt. If 50g of copper (II) tetraoxosulphate (VI) solution saturated at 100°C were cooled to 30°C, some of the salt would crystallize out since the solubility of the salt in water decreases as the temperature decreases. First, we need to find out how much of the salt is already dissolved in the 50g solution. At 100°C, 100g of water can dissolve 75g of the salt. Therefore, in 50g of water, we can dissolve: (75g/100g) x 50g = 37.5g of copper (II) tetraoxosulphate (IV) This means that 37.5g of the salt is already dissolved in the 50g solution at 100°C. When the solution is cooled to 30°C, the solubility of the salt reduces to 25g/100g of water. This means that the maximum amount of salt that can be dissolved in 50g of water at 30°C is: (25g/100g) x 50g = 12.5g of copper (II) tetraoxosulphate (IV) Therefore, the amount of salt that would crystallize out is the difference between the amount of salt already dissolved in the solution and the maximum amount of salt that can be dissolved in the solution at 30°C: 37.5g - 12.5g = 25g So, 25g of copper (II) tetraoxosulphate (IV) would crystallize out when 50g of the saturated solution at 100°C is cooled to 30°C. Therefore, the answer is 14.3g.
