If we have 1.23 mol of NaOH in solution and 0.85 mol of Cl2 gas is available to react, which one is the limiting reactant? Give your reason.
Answer:
NaOH is the limiting reactant.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, since the reaction taking place between sodium hydroxide and chlorine has is:
[tex]NaOH+Cl_2\rightarrow NaCl+NaClO+H_2O[/tex]
Which must be balanced according to the law of conservation of mass:
[tex]2NaOH+Cl_2\rightarrow NaCl+NaClO+H_2O[/tex]
Whereas there is a 2:1 mole ratio of NaOH to Cl2, which means that the moles of the former that are consumed by 0.85 moles of the latter are:
[tex]n_{NaOH}=0.85molCl_2*\frac{2molNaOH}{1molCl_2}\\\\n_{ NaOH}=1.7molNaOH[/tex]
Therefore, since we just have 1.23 moles out of 1.70 moles of NaOH, we infer this is the limiting reactant.

(a) The molality of this solution is 0.0613[tex]\frac{moles}{kg}[/tex]
(b)The molality of this solution is 2.04[tex]\frac{moles}{kg}[/tex]
Explanation:
The molality (m) of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute present per kg of solvent.
The Molality of a solution is determined by the expression:
[tex]Molality=\frac{number of moles of solute}{kilograms of solvent}[/tex]
Molality is expressed in units [tex]\frac{moles}{kg}[/tex]
(a) You have 14.3 g of sucrose (C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁), the solute. With the molar mass of sucrose being 342 [tex]\frac{g}{mole}[/tex], then 14.3 grams of the compound represents the following number of moles:
[tex]14.3 grams*\frac{1 mole}{342 grams} =[/tex] 0.042 moles
Having 685 g= 0.685 kg (being 1000 g= 1 kg) of water, the solvent, molality can be calculated as:
[tex]molality=\frac{0.042 moles}{0.685 kg}[/tex]
Solving:
molality= 0.0613[tex]\frac{moles}{kg}[/tex]
The molality of this solution is 0.0613[tex]\frac{moles}{kg}[/tex]
(b) In this case you have 7.15 moles of ethylene glycol (C₂H₆O₂), the solute, in 3505 g (equal to 3.505 kg) of water, the solvent, molality can be calculated as:
[tex]molality=\frac{7.15 moles}{3.505 kg}[/tex]
Solving:
molality= 2.04[tex]\frac{moles}{kg}[/tex]
The molality of this solution is 2.04[tex]\frac{moles}{kg}[/tex]

molar mass of co2= 44g /mol
1.5 .10^25/6.023 .10^23 =51.5 moles of co2
51.5 .44g/mol =2266 g
1 mole is equal to 6.023 × 10 ²³ molecules. 2266 grams are in 1.50 x 10²⁴ atoms of copper.
What do you mean by mole ?The term mole is defined as the amount of substance of a system which contains as many elementary entities.
One mole of any substance is equal to 6.023 × 10²³ units of that substance such as atoms, molecules, or ions. The number 6.023 × 10²³ is called as Avogadro's number or Avogadro's constant.
The mole concept can be used to convert between mass and number of particles.
mass = number of molecules / 6.023 × 10²³ × molar mass
molar mass of CO2 = 44g /mol
1.5 .10^25 / 6.023 × 10^23
= 51.5 moles of CO2
= 51.5 .44g/mol

Guanidine is a neutral compound but is an extremely powerful base. In fact, it is almost as strong a base as a hydroxide ion. Identify which nitrogen atom in guanidine is so basic, and explain why guanidine is a much stronger base than most other amines.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
The molecule called guanidine is shown in the image attached to this answer. It contains three nitrogen atoms. Two among them are sp3 hybridized while one of them is sp2 hybridized.
Guanidine is more basic than other amines because its protonanation leads to the formation of three equivalent resonance structures thereby making its protonated form quite stable. This effect is not observed in other amines.
Also, the sp2 hybridized nitrogen atom is more basic and more easily protonated because when it is protonated, three equivalent resonance structures are obtained.

1.4 State ONE function of the wet paper towel in the opening of the test tube.
1.5 Write down the IUPAC name of an ester fomed.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Esterification is a reaction that involves the combination of an alkanoic acid and an alkanol. The product is always a sweet smelling substance.
Sulphuric acid acts as a catalyst in this reaction because it is a dehydrating agent thereby pushing the equilibrium position towards the right by the removal of water molecules.
The test tubs is heated in a water bath and not directly moved the flame because the alcohol is flammable. Also heating in a water bath helps to separate the reaction mixture from the newly formed ester.
Esters are used in industries that produces soaps and perfumes. There is a great need for the use of fragrances which are ester compounds in these industries.
The wet paper towel in the opening of the test tube cools the top of the test tube. It usually serves as a kind of condenser preventing an excess loss of vapour from the reaction mixture.
The reaction of pentanol and ethanoic acid yields pentyl ethanoate according to IUPAC nomenclature.

What is the pOH of 0.5 M KOH?
Answer:
pOH = 0.3
Explanation:
As KOH is a strong base, the molar concentration of OH⁻ is equal to the molar concentration of the solution. That means that in this case:
[OH⁻] = 0.5 MWith that information in mind we can calculate the pOH by using the following formula:
pOH = -log[OH⁻]pOH = -log(0.5)pOH = 0.3To determine the freezing point depression of a LiCl solution, Toni adds 0.411 g of LiCl to the sample test tube along with 19.7 mL of distilled water. Determine the molal concentration (m) of the resulting solution. MWLiCl
Answer:
LiCl = 0.492 m
Explanation:
Molal concentration is the one that indicates the moles of solute that are contained in 1kg of solvent.
Our solute is lithium chloride, LiCl.
Our solvent is distilled water.
We do not have the mass of water, but we know the volume, so we should apply density to determine mass.
Density = mass / volume
Density . volume = mass
1 g/mL . 19.7 mL = 19.7 g
We convert g to kg → 19.7 g . 1 kg / 1000g = 0.0197 kg
Let's determine the moles of LiCl
0.411 g . 1 mol / 42.394 g = 9.69×10⁻³ moles
Molal concentration (m) = 9.69×10⁻³ mol / 0.0197 kg → 0.492 m
The molal concentration of the resulting solution is 0.492 m. The concentration number of moles of solute in one kg of solvent.
What is Molal concentration?It is the measure of the concentration number of moles of solute in one kg of solvent.
To calculate the molal concentration first calculated the mass of [tex]\bold {LiCl}[/tex],
[tex]\rm \ mass = density \times volume[/tex]
Put the values,
m = 1 g/mL x 19.7 mL
m = 19.7 g or
m = 0.0197 kg
Calculate the moles of LiCl:
[tex]n =\rm \dfrac { 0.411 \ g \times 1 mol }{ 42.394 \ g }\\\\n = 9.69\times 10^{-3} \ moles[/tex]
So, now the molal concentration,
[tex]m = \rm \dfrac { 9.69\times 10^{-3}\ mol} {0.0197 \ kg} \\\\m = 0.492[/tex]
Therefore, the molal concentration of the resulting solution is 0.492 m.

The reaction generated from the question can be expressed as:
[tex]2NaOH_{(s)} + H_2SO_{4(aq)} \to Na_2SO_{4(aq)} +2H_2O_{(l)}[/tex]
The enthalpy reaction:
[tex]\Delta H^0 _{rxn} = \sum \Delta H^0 _{f (products)} - \sum \Delta H^0 _{f (reactants)}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta H^0 _{rxn} =[2 \times -279.4 + (-1384.49)]-[(2\times -418) -913]\ kJ[/tex]
[tex]\Delta H^0 _{rxn} =-194.29 \ kJ[/tex]
no of moles of NaOH = 12.618g/39.99 g/mol
= 0.3155 mol
no of moles of H₂SO₄ = molarity of H₂SO₄ × Volume
= 1.3553 mol/L × 100 × 10⁻³ L
= 0.13553 mol
From the reaction,
1 mol of NaOH = 2 × mol of H₂SO₄
Since mol of NaOH is greater than that of H₂SO₄, then NaOH is the excess reagent and H₂SO₄ is the limiting reactant
∴
1 mol of H₂SO₄ yields = - 194.29 kJ
0.13553 mol of H₂SO₄ will yield;
[tex]= \dfrac{-194.29 \ kJ}{1 \ mol} \times 0.13553 \ mol[/tex]
= -26.332124 kJ
= -26332.12 J
Finally,

26332.12 J = 1.317 × 10³ g × 0.375 J/g°C ×ΔT
26332.12 J = 493.875 J/° C × ΔT
26332.12 / 493.875 = ΔT
ΔT = 53.317 °C
[tex]T_f - T_i = 53.317 ^0 C[/tex]
[tex]T_f[/tex]- 16.82 °C = 53.317 °C

An unknown organic compound composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen was analyzed and found to be 50.84% C, 8.53% H and the rest being oxygen. Which of the following represents the correct empirical formula for the compound?
(a) CH2O
(b) C3H602
(c) C4H803
(d) C2H40
(e) C5H1003
Answer:
e) C5H10O3
Explanation:
According to the information given in this question;
50.84% represents C
8.53% represents H
[100% - (50.84 + 8.53)]
= 100 - 59.37
= 40.63% of Oxygen (O)
This percentage means that;
Carbon = 50.84g
Hydrogen = 8.53g
Oxygen = 40.63g
By dividing by their respective atomic masses, we convert to moles:
C = 50.84g ÷ 12 = 4.24mol
H = 8.53g ÷ 1 = 8.53mol
O = 40.63g ÷ 16 = 2.54mol
Next we divide by the smallest no of the values (2.54mol)
C = 4.24 ÷ 2.54 = 1.669
H = 8.53 ÷ 2.54 = 3.358
O = 2.54 ÷ 2.54 = 1
To get a simple whole number ratio, we multiply the results by 3
C = 1.669 × 3 = 5.007
H = 3.358 × 3 = 10.074
O = 1 × 3 = 3
Simple whole number ratio of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen is 5:10:3. Hence, the empirical formula is C5H10O3.
