A solution is prepared by dissolving 17.2 g of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) in 0.500 kg of water. The final volume of the solution is 515 mL. For this solution, calculate the concentration in molarity.
Which of the following solutions contains the greatest number of ions? (Multiple choice)
400.0 mL of 0.10 M NaCl
300.0 mL of 0.10 M CaCl2
200.0 mL of 0.10 M FeCl3
800.0 mL of 0.10 M sucrose
Part 1:
Write the molecular, complete and net ionic equations for the precipitation reaction that occurs (if any) when solutions of potassium carbonate and nickel (II) chloride are mixed.
Part 2:
Write the molecular, complete and net ionic equations for the precipitation reaction that occurs (if any) when solutions of sodium nitrate and lithium sulfate are mixed.
Calculate the mass of solid NaCl that must be added to 1.50 L of a 0.100 M AgNO3 solution to precipitate all the Ag+ ions in the form of AgCl.
Assign an oxidation state to each atom in each element, ion, or compound.
(a) Cl2 (b) Na+ (c) KF (d) CO2 (e) SO42- (f) K2O2
Use oxidation states to identify the element that is oxidized and the element that is reduced in the following redox reaction:
Mg (s) + 2 H2O (l) → Mg(OH)2 (aq) + H2 (g)
Balance the redox equation in an acidic environment:
Fe2+ + MnO4- → Fe3+ + Mn2+
Balance the equation occurring in basic solution:
I- (aq) + MnO4 (aq) → I2 (aq) + MnO2 (s)
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is a component of acid rain that forms when SO2, a pollutant, reacts with oxygen and water according to the simplified reaction:
2 SO2 (g) + O2 (g) + 2 H2O (l) → 2 H2SO4 (aq)
The generation of the electricity used by a medium-sized home produces about 25 kg of SO2 per year. Assuming that there is more than enough O2 and H2O, what mass of H2SO4, in kg, can form from this much SO2?
Consider the following reaction of methane with chlorine gas to make carbon tetrachloride and hydrogen chloride.
CH4 + 4Cl2 → CCl4 + 4 HCl
How many grams of HCl will be produced when 97.2 g of chlorine gas is allowed to completely react with 7.25 g of methane gas?
The reaction below is one method of creating nitric acid from nitrogen dioxide and water:
3 NO2 + H2O → 2 HNO3 + NO
When 138 g of nitrogen dioxide reacts with 54.0g of water, 126 g of nitric acid is formed. From these quantities, nitrogen dioxide is the limiting reactant. How many grams of water is left over when the reaction goes to completion?
The reaction of 7.8 g of benzene, C6H6, with excess nitric acid resulted in 0.90 g of H2O. What is the percent yield of this reaction?
C6H6 + HNO3 → C6H5NO2 + H2O
