Akosua has observed that anytime she drinks sobolo, her stool appears dark green. On one occasion

Akosua observed that her stool, which appeared dark green, turned quickly to bright red upon mixing with the perchloric acid-treated WC water.

i. What about the sobolo drink (bright red) that made the stool of Akosua green?


ii. Why did the stool of Akosua, which appeared green because she took sobolo drink, turn into

bright red upon mixing with the acidic WC water?


iii. Suggest a practical use of sobolo drink in the identification of chemicals in the science laboratory .

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

i. Sobolo is a Ghanian drink that is produced from red hibiscus flower that has an average pH of 6.7

It contains cyanidin and anthocyanins, which is a red pigment that is red in an acidic medium and changes green when introduced in a basic medium that has a high pH

The pH at the rectum of the digestive system = 5 to 8 (Slightly basic)

Therefore, what made the stool of Akosua green is that the sobolo drink changes to green in basic solution

ii. The stool which appeared green because she took sobolo turn into bright red upon mixing with the acidic WC water because of the presence of anthocyanins in sobolo, it turns red in an acidic medium

iii. Sobolo which turns green, or blue in a basic medium and red in an acidic medium can be used as a litmus solution to test the pH of a given substance

Explanation:

Sobolo or soobolo in Ghana is a name for the Hibiscus tea or tisane, which is made from calyces of the hibiscus plant, and has a sour (tangy) taste and appears bright red in color

112 g of aluminum carbide react with 174 g water to produce methane and aluminum hydroxide in the reaction shown below.

2 Al4C3(s) + 12 H2O(l) → 3 CH4(g) + 4 Al(OH)3(s)

If aluminum carbide is the limiting reactant, how many moles of the excess reactant are left over
a
37.3 mol
b
4.68 mol
c
7.33 mol
d
131.94 mol

Answers

Answer: 4.999 moles of excess reactant will be left over.

Explanation:

Limiting reagent is defined as the reagent which is completely consumed in the reaction and limits the formation of the product.

Excess reagent is defined as the reagent which is left behind after the completion of the reaction.

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.

[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}[/tex]       .....(1)

Given mass of aluminium carbide = 112 g

Molar mass of aluminium carbide = 143.96 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:

[tex]\text{Moles of aluminium carbide}=\frac{112g}{143.96g/mol}=0.778mol[/tex]

For the given chemical reaction:

[tex]2Al_4C_3(s)+12H_2O(l)\rightarrow 3CH_4(g)+4Al(OH)_3(s)[/tex]

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of aluminium carbide reacts with 12 moles of water

So, 0.778 moles of aluminium carbide will react with = [tex]\frac{12}{2}\times 0.778=4.668 mol[/tex] of water

Given mass of water = 174 g

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:

[tex]\text{Moles of water}=\frac{174g}{18g/mol}=9.667mol[/tex]

Moles of excess reactant (water) left = 9.667 - 4.668 = 4.999 moles

Hence, 4.999 moles of excess reactant will be left over.

How does a balanced chemical equation show the conservation of mass?
O A. It shows that the total number of moles of substances stays the
same.
B. It shows that the mass of the products is greater than the mass of
the reactants when a reaction increases the moles of substances.
O C. It shows that the mass of the reactants is greater than the mass
of the products when gases are produced by the reaction.
O D. It shows that the number of each type of atom stays the same.

Answers

Explanation:

Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. When an equal number of atoms of an element is present on both sides of a chemical equation, the equation is balanced.

4. There are 1.9 moles of Oxygen gas at a pressure of 3.50 atm, and the temperature is 65°C. What is the
volume of the gas? Remember that R = 0.0821 L x atm/Kx mol AND that you must convert °C to K.
Fill in the variables chart:

Answers

Answer:

15.06 L

Explanation:

Using the ideal gas law equation:

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question,

P = 3.50 atm

n = 1.9 moles

V = ?

T = 65°C = 65 + 273 = 338K

Using PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = (1.9 × 0.0821 × 338) ÷ (3.5)

V = 52.725 ÷ 3.5

V = 15.06 L

container has 3 moles of gas with a volume of 60 liters and at a temperature of 250 K, Calculate the pressure inside the container in kPa

Answers

Answer:

103.98 kpa

Explanation:

Pv= nRT

Where

P= pressure of the system=

n= number of moles= 3 moles

T= temperature= 250 K

Volume of the container= 60 liters

R= 0.0821L.atm/K.mol

Substitute the values

Pv= nRT

P= nRT/ V

= (3×0.0821×250)/60

= 1.026 Atm

1atm= 101325 Pascal

1.026 atm= X

= 103984 pasca

If you have 3 moles of gas at a pressure of 2.5 atmospheres and a volume of 8 liters, what is the temperature? Pay attention to the unit of pressure used.

Answers

Answer:

-191.7°C

Explanation:

P . V = n . R . T

That's the Ideal Gases Law. It can be useful to solve the question.

We replace data:

2.5 atm . 8 L = 3 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . T°

(2.5 atm . 8 L) / (3 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K) = T°

T° = 81.3 K

We convert T° from K to C°

81.3K - 273 = -191.7°C

Answer:

The temperature is 81.3 K.

Explanation:

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that is considered to be composed of point particles that move randomly and do not interact with each other. Gases in general are ideal when they are at high temperatures and low pressures.

The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:  

P*V = n*R*T

where P is the gas pressure, V is the volume that occupies, T is its temperature, R is the ideal gas constant, and n is the number of moles of the gas. The universal constant of ideal gases R has the same value for all gaseous substances.

In this case:

P= 2.5 atmV= 8 Ln=3 molesR= 0.082 [tex]\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}[/tex]T= ?

Replacing:

2.5 atm* 8 L= 3 moles* 0.082 [tex]\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}[/tex] *T

Solving:

[tex]T=\frac{2.5 atm* 8 L}{3 moles* 0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}}[/tex]

T= 81.3 K

The temperature is 81.3 K.

Explain in terms of structure and bonding why carbon dioxide has a low boiling point and calcium carbide has a high boiling point

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Let us consider the two compounds carefully. Carbon dioxide is purely a non-polar molecular compound while the bond between the C2^2- ion and Ca^2+ is ionic thereby making CaC2 an ionic compound.

Recall that ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points due to strong ionic interactions in the structure of the compound.

On the other hand, CO2 is a non-polar substance whose molecules are held together only by weak dispersion forces.

As a result of the reasons outlined above, carbon dioxide has a low boiling point and calcium carbide has a high boiling point.
