- A beaker contains 100.0 mL of water. To it is added 10.0 mL of dilute nitric acid (HNO3). Calculate the total moles of water in the beaker after the acid is added. (Assume the density of the nitric acid is the same as that of water.) Density of water= 1.00 g/mLarrow_forwardPredict the reactants of this chemical reaction. That is, fill in the left side of the chemical equation. Be sure the equation you submit is balanced. (You can edit both sides of the equation to balance it, if you need to.) Note: you are writing the molecular, and not the net ionic equation. → Ba(CIO)₂(aq) + H₂O(1) 0⁰ X 00 ローロ 5arrow_forwardThe reaction between potassium chlorate and red phosphorus takes place when you strike a match on a matchbox. If you were to react 30.9 g of potassium chlorate (KClO3) with excess red phosphorus, what mass of tetraphosphorus decaoxide (P4O10) could be produced? Mass = KClO3(s) + P4(s) → P4O10 (s) + KCl(s) (unbalanced) garrow_forward
- Catalytic converters are the most common option for controlling emissions of polluting gases by internal combustion engines in automobiles, accelerating the conversion of nitrogen oxides into nitrogen and oxygen gases. A chemical reaction that can be used for the conversion of nitric oxide into non-polluting gases is the reaction of this gas with hydrogen, resulting in nitrogen and water gases, as shown in the chemical equation below: 2 NO(g) + 2 H2(g) → N2(g) + H2O(g) The kinetics of this reaction at a temperature of 1250 °C is represented in the following table, which indicates the influence of the concentration of the reactants on the reaction rate, obtained through three experiments conducted under the same conditions EXPERIMENTO [NO] (MOL/L) [H2] (MOL/L) V0 (MOL/Ls) 1 0,20 0,08 0,05 2 0,40 0,08 0,20 3 0,40 0,16 0,40 Determine the rate law for this chemical reaction, the rate constant, and its respective unit.

Mg(s) + 2 H2O(g) → Mg(OH)2(s) + H2(g) Consider an experiment in which 81.7 g of steam and 35.2 g of magnesium are allowed to react in a sealed reaction vessel. What mass of Mg(OH)2 will be created?arrow_forward5) King Krator the Merciless has called on Pogo, a humble goldsmith, to make a crown for theKing. He gives Pogo exactly 14 oz of pure gold to fashion the crown and tells him that if hecheats the King, he will pay with his life ! Pogo leaves with the gold; he and his apprenticesspend two weeks in making the crown; finally he returns to the court. When Pogo returns withthe crown, King Krator finds that the crown weighs 397.25 grams, and has a volume of20.58cm3. King Krator asks the court wizard for the density of gold, and Wizard tells the Kingthat gold has a density of 19.3 times that of an equal volume of spring rain. Krator demands aslate, makes a few calculations, then sternly lifts his head to stare at Pogo. Does Pogo's headroll ?arrow_forward
- You are given a crushed sample that is a mixture of limestone (calcium carbonate), lime (calcium oxide), and sand. The calcium carbonate, or limestone, is the only material present in the mixture that will decompose when heated. You subject a 6.0685 g sample of the mixture to strong heating and after the sample reaches constant mass (no more mass is lost with additional heating), the sample has a final weight of 3.9247 g. What is the percentage of calcium carbonate present in the original mixture? (MW of calcium carbonate = 100.1 g/mol) Equation for reaction = CaCO3(s) -> CaO(s) + CO2(g).arrow_forwardA 20.0-gram sample of impure NaClO3 produces 4.72 L of oxygen (STP).

This leads to the production of pollutants such as sulfur dioxide (SO2) through the following reaction: S(s)+O2(g)→SO2(g) A sample of coal was found to contain 1.35% sulfur by mass. If 1,250 kg of this coal were burned, what mass of sulfur dioxide could theoretically be formed (in kg)?arrow_forward
