Answer:
A. HCl is the limiting reactant.
B. Theoretical yield of Cl₂ is 20.9 g.
C. Actual yield of Cl₂ = 15.2 g.
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:
4HCl + MnO₂ –> MnCl₂ + 2H₂O + Cl₂
Next, we shall determine the masses of HCl and MnO₂ that reacted and the mass of Cl₂ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:
Molar mass of HCl = 1 + 35.5
= 36.5 g/mol
Mass of HCl from the balanced equation = 4 × 36.5 = 146 g
Molar mass of MnO₂ = 55 + (2×16)
= 55 + 32
= 87 g/mol
Mass of MnO₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 87 = 87 g
Molar mass of Cl₂ = 2 × 35.5
= 71 g/mol
Mass of Cl₂ from the balanced equation = 1 × 71 = 71 g
SUMMARY:
From the balanced equation above,
146 g of HCl reacted with 87 g of MnO₂ to produce 71 g of Cl₂.
A. Determination of the limiting reactant.
From the balanced equation above,
146 g of HCl reacted with 87 g of MnO₂.
Therefore, 42.9 g of HCl will react with = (42.9 × 87)/146 = 25.6 g of MnO₂.
From the calculation made above, we can see clearly that only 25.6 g out of 43.1 g of MnO₂ given was needed to react completely with 42.9 g of HCl.
Therefore, HCl is the limiting reactant.
B. Determination of theoretical yield of Cl₂.
Here, the limiting reactant will be used.
From the balanced equation above,
146 g of HCl reacted to produce 71 g of Cl₂.
Therefore, 42.9 g of HCl will react to produce = (42.9 × 71)/146 = 20.9 g of Cl₂.
Thus, the theoretical yield of Cl₂ is 20.9 g.
C. Determination of the actual yield of Cl₂.
Theoretical yield of Cl₂ = 20.9 g
Percentage yield of Cl₂ = 72.9%
Actual yield of Cl₂ =?
Percentage yield = Actual yield / Theoretical yield × 100
72.9% = Actual yield / 20.9
Cross multiply
Actual yield = 72.9% × 20.9
Actual yield = 72.9/100 × 20.9
Actual yield = 0.729 × 20.9
Actual yield of Cl₂ = 15.2 g

What type of organic compound is a reactant in all substitution reactions?
1.alkyne
2.alkane
3.alkene
The organic compounds that are capable of being a reactant in all substitution reactions would belong to the alkane group.
Alkanes and substitution reactionsAlkanes are saturated compounds that ordinarily will not participate in addition reactions due to their saturated nature.
Thus, alkanes are only able to participate in substitution reactions involving the substitution of one or more of their component atoms for another atom.
This is unlike alkyne and alkenes which are naturally unsaturated. The unsaturation makes them a candidate for additional reactions.

For a particular chemical reaction the rate (g/hr) at which one of the reactants changes is proportional to the amount of that reactant present. If y represents the amount of that reactant at time t, StartFraction dy Over dt EndFraction equals minus0.7y. If there were 70 grams of the reactant when the process started (tequals 0), how many grams will remain after 4 hours?
Answer:
Amount of reactant after four hours = 4,26 grams
Explanation:
Suppose y denotes the amount of reactant at the time (t)
The given function:
[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dt} = -0.7 y[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{dy}{y} = -0.7 dt[/tex]
Taking integral on both sides
㏑(y) = -0.7t + c¹
[tex]e^{In(y)}= e^{-0.7t + c^1}[/tex]
[tex]y(t) = Ce ^{-0.7t}[/tex]
At t = 0 ; y (t) = 70
∴
[tex]70 = Ce^{-0.7(0)}[/tex]
C = 70
As such; [tex]\mathtt{y(t) = 70 e^{-0.7*t}}[/tex]
After four hours, the amount of the reactant is:
[tex]\mathtt{y(t) = 70 e^{-0.7*4}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{y(t) = 70 e^{-2.8}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{y(t) = 4.26}[/tex]
Amount of reactant after four hours = 4,26 grams
What is the concentration of s solution that contains 55 mL of alcohol per 145 mL solution?

[tex]\% v/v = 55/145= 0.379[/tex]
Soda contains phosphoric acid (H3PO4). To determine the concentration of phosphoric acid in 50.0 mL of soda, the available phosphate ions are precipitated with excess silver nitrate as silver phosphate (418.58 g/mol). The dry Ag3PO4 is found to have a mass of 0.0576 g. What is the concentration of phosphoric acid in the soda?
Answer:
0.0270w/v% H3PO4 in the soda
Explanation:
All phosphates reacts producing Ag3PO4. To solve this question we must convert the mass of Ag3PO4 to moles. These moles = moles of H3PO4. We can find, thus, the mass of H3PO4 and the w/v% as follows:
Moles Ag3PO4 -Molar mass: 418.58g/mol-
0.0576g * (1mol / 418.58g) = 1.376x10⁻⁴ moles Ag3PO4 = moles H3PO4
Mass H3PO4 -Molar mass: 97.994g/mol-
1.376x10⁻⁴ moles Ag3PO4 = moles H3PO4 * (97.994g/mol) = 0.0135g H3PO4
w/v%:

A scientist collects a sample that has 2.00 × 1014 molecules of carbon dioxide gas.How many grams is this, given that the molar mass of CO2 is 44.01 g/mol?
Answer:
1.46 × 10⁻⁸ g
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
Molecules of CO₂: 2.00 × 10¹⁴ molecules
Step 2: Convert molecules to moles
We need a conversion factor: Avogadro's number. There are 6.02 × 10²³ molecules in 1 mole of molecules.
2.00 × 10¹⁴ molecules × 1 mol/6.02 × 10²³ = 3.32 × 10⁻¹⁰ mol
Step 3: Convert moles to mass
We need a conversion factor: the molar mass. The molar mass of CO₂is 44.01 g/mol.
3.32 × 10⁻¹⁰ mol × 44.01 g/mol = 1.46 × 10⁻⁸ g

Which best describes how the total mass of the substances that go into
photosynthesis compares to the mass of substances that are present
afterward?
O A. The mass increases because the molecules that are produced are
larger than those that are used.
B. The mass increases because some light energy changes into
mass.
O C. The mass stays the same because the total number of atoms
does not change
O D. The mass decreases because plants destroy some of the atoms
during photosynthesis.
Answer:
C. The mass stays the same because the total number of atoms does not change
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of matter/mass, matter cannot be created nor destroyed, hence, the amount of matter in the reactants must be the same amount in the products.
Using the photosynthetic reaction as a case study, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are the compounds that go into the reaction (reactants) while glucose and oxygen (O2) are the products of the reaction.
Using the law of conservation of matter to explain, the total mass of both the reactants and products stays the same because the total number of atoms does not change i.e. if 6 atoms of Carbon starts the reaction, 6 atoms of carbon will end it.
Suppose you are trying to separate three Proteins using Gel-Filtration chromatography. The sizes of each are given below:
Protein A: 1200 kDa
Protein B: 2000 kDa
Protein C: 800 kDa
Which protein will be the first to emerge from the column?
Answer: The correct answer is Protein B.
Explanation:
Gel-filtration chromatography is a separation technique that is based on the size of the molecules in a compound. It is also known as size-exclusion chromatography in which the eluent (carrier) used is an aqueous solution.
The matrix that is used is a porous material. When the sample is inserted in the column, the smaller particles interact strongly with the matrix than the large ones. Thus, as the eluent is passed through the matrix, larger molecules come out first, and the smallest molecule comes out last.
Given sizes of the proteins:
Protein A: 1200 kDa
Protein B: 2000 kDa
Protein C: 800 kDa
As protein B has the largest size of all the given proteins, it will emerge out first from the column.
Hence, the correct answer is Protein B.

The rate of the reaction is 1.6*10-2 M/s when the concentration of A is 0.15 M. Calculate the rate constant if the reaction is (a) first order in A and (b) second order in A.
Answer:
[tex]k_1=0.107s^{-1} \\\\k_2=0.711M^{-1}s^{-1}[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given information and the attached picture in which we can see the units of the rate constant, it turns out possible for us to realize the two called rate laws are:
[tex]r=k[A]\\\\r=k[A]^2[/tex]
The former is first-order and the latter second-order; in such a way, we solve for the rate constant in both cases to obtain the following:
[tex]k=\frac{r}{[A]}=\frac{1.6x10^{-2}M/s}{0.15M}=0.107s^{-1} \\\\k=\frac{r}{[A]^2}=\frac{1.6x10^{-2}M/s}{(0.15M)^2}=0.711M^{-1}s^{-1}[/tex]

Solution A has a pH of 7, and solution B has a pH of 14. Which statement
best describes these solutions?
Answer:
Option A. Solution B is basic, and solution A is neutral.
Explanation:
The pH of a solution is simply defined as the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 with the following readings:
0 to 6 => Acidic solution
7 => Neutral solution
8 to 14 => Alkaline / basic solution.
From the above, we understood that solutions with pH ranging from 0 to 6 are acidic solutions. Those with pH of 7 are neutral solutions while those with pH ranging from 8 to 14 are basic solutions.
With the above information in mind, let us answer the question given above. This is illustrated below:
pH of solution A = 7
pH of solution B = 14
Solution A has a pH of 7. This implies that solution A is a neutral solution
Solution B has a pH of 14. This implies that solution B is a basic solution.
Thus, option A gives the correct answer to the question.

Explanation:
The molecular reaction is as follows;
MgSO4(aq) + Ni(NO3)2(aq) ----> Mg(NO3)2(aq) + NiSO4(aq)
We can see from the reaction above that the both products of the reaction are soluble. Recall that a double replacement reaction often yields one insoluble product which separates as a precipitate.
This reaction does not occur since the two products that ought to be obtained are soluble in water.
A company manufacturing KMnO4 wants to obtain the highest yield possible. Two of their research scientists are working on a technique to increase the yield.

What is the theoretical yield of potassium permanganate when starting with 50.0 g MnO2?
The equation for the production of potassium permanganate is as follows:
2 MnO2 + 4 KOH + O2 → 2 KMnO4 + 2 KOH + H2
Answer:
The theoretical yield potassium permanganate, KMnO₄ when starting with 50.0 g MnO₂ is 90.8 g
Explanation:
Molar mass of MnO₂ = (55 + 2 × 16) = 87.0 g/mol
Molar mass of KMnO₄ = (39 + 55 + 4 × 16) = 158 g/mol
Moles of MnO₂ in 50 g = reacting mass / molar mass
where reacting mass = 50 g
Moles of MnO₂ in 50 g = 50 g /87 g/mol = 0.575 moles
The equation for the production of potassium permanganate is as follows:
2 MnO2 + 4 KOH + O2 → 2 KMnO4 + 2 KOH + H2
From the equation of the reaction above, 2 moles of MnO₂ produces 2 moles of KmNO₄. The mole ratio of MnO₂ to KMnO₄ is 1 : 1
Therefore, 0.575 moles of MnO₂ will produce theoretically 0.575 moles of KMnO₄
Mass of 0.575 moles of KMnO₄ = number of moles × molar mass
Mass of 0.575 moles of KMnO₄ = 0.575 moles × 158 g/mol = 90.8 g of KMnO₄
Therefore, the theoretical yield potassium permanganate when starting with 50.0 g MnO₂ is 90.8 g

Answer:
Ammonium hydroxide, NH₄OH
Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)₂
Sodium hydroxide, NaOH
Lithium hydroxide, LiOH
Explanation:
A base is a substance which neutralizes acids to produce salt and water. Bases are hydroxide or oxides of metals. Bases may be soluble or insoluble in water. Bases generally have a bitter taste and turn red litmus paper or indicator red.
Alkalis are bases which are soluble in water. They form the hydroxide of the alkali metals or alkaline earth metals in solution and they ionize to produce hydroxide ions. They are slippery to touch and turn red litmus blue being bases.
Therefore, all alkalis are bases but not all bases are alkalis. Insoluble bases are not alkalis.
From the given chemical compounds the alkalis present in the list are:
Ammonium hydroxide, NH₄OH; since it is soluble in water and produces hydroxide ions
Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)₂; since it is slightly soluble in water and produces hydroxide ions
Sodium hydroxide, NaOH; since it is soluble in water and produces hydroxide ions
Lithium hydroxide, LiOH; since it is soluble in water and produces hydroxide ions
CuO(copper oxide) is a base but not an alkali as it does not produce hydroxide ions.
Zn(OH)2 (zinc hydroxide) is amphoteric and is insoluble
MgO(magnesium oxide) is a base but not an alkali as it does not produce hydroxide ions.
Na2O(sodium oxide) is a base but not an alkali as it does not produce hydroxide ions.
CoO(cobalt oxide) is a base but not an alkali as it does not produce hydroxide ions.
