8. What was the original concentration in the BHL sample, if the dilution is 1:500 and the concentration 0.07 mg/ml

Answers

Answer:

The original concentration is "35 mg/ml".

Explanation:

According to the question,

The solution is diluted,

= 1:50

The initial volume,

V1 = 1 ml

Final concentration,

= 0.07 mg

then,

The final volume,

V2 = 500 ml

As we know,

⇒ [tex]V_1N_1=V_2N_2[/tex]

or,

⇒ [tex]N_1=\frac{V_2N_2}{V_1}[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

⇒       [tex]=\frac{500\times 0.07}{1}[/tex]

⇒       [tex]=\frac{35}{1}[/tex]

⇒       [tex]=35 \ mg/ml[/tex]

A 0.07 mg/mL BHL solution was prepared by performing a 1:500 dilution on a 35 mg/mL solution.

A 1:500 dilution was carried out to prepare a 0.07 mg/mL BHL solution. We can find the concentration of the initial solution using the dilution rule.

What is the dilution rule?

It is an equation that relates the concentration and volume of a concentrated and a dilute solution. The mathematical expression is:

C₁ × V₁ = C₂ × V₂

where,

C₁ is the concentration of the concentrated solution.V₁ is the volume of the concentrated solution.C₂ is the concentration of the dilute solution.V₂ is the volume of the dilute solution.

C₁ = C₂ × (V₂/V₁)

C₁ = 0.07 mg/mL × (500/1) = 35 mg/mL

A 0.07 mg/mL BHL solution was prepared by performing a 1:500 dilution on a 35 mg/mL solution.

A 750-mL sample of hydrogen exerts a pressure of 822 torr at 325 K. What pressure does it exert if the temperature is raised to 475 K at constant volume

Answers

Answer:

1.20 × 10³ torr

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Initial pressure (P₁): 822 torrInitial temperature (T₁): 325 KFinal pressure (P₂): ?Final temperature (T₂): 475 KConstant volume: 750 mL

Step 2: Calculate the final pressure of the gas

Considering the constant volume, if we assume the gas behaves ideally, we can calculate its final pressure using Gay-Lussac's law.

P₁/T₁ = P₂/T₂

P₂ = P₁ × T₂/T₁

P₂ = 822 torr × 475 K/325 K = 1.20 × 10³ torr

In the ground state, the valence electrons of a krypton atom are found in
1. The first shell
2. The outermost shell
3. Both the nucleus and the first shell
4. Both the first shell and the outermost shell

Answers

Answer: 2. The outermost shell

Explanation:

In an elements ground state, its electrons have the least amount of energy that they could have so they stay in their shells. When Krypton is in this state therefore, its valence electrons will stay in the outermost shell.

As Krypton has a total of 36 electrons in this state, there will be 8 valence electrons and they will all be in the outer shell.

A sample contains 19.3 g of [tex]N_2[/tex] is reacted with 19.3 g of [tex]F_2[/tex]. Now we need to find the amount of [tex]NF_3[/tex] that can be formed by the complete reactions of each of the reactants.

If all of the [tex]N_2[/tex] was used up in the reaction, how many moles of [tex]NF_3[/tex] would be produced?

Answer: 1.378 moles of [tex]NF_3[/tex] are produced in the reaction.

Explanation:

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)

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.

In the given chemical reaction, [tex]N_2[/tex] is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of the product and it was completely consumed in the reaction.

We are given:

Mass of [tex]N_2[/tex] = 19.3 g

Molar mass of [tex]N_2[/tex] = 28.02 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1:

[tex]\text{Moles of }N_2=\frac{19.3g}{28.02g/mol}=0.689mol[/tex]

For the given chemical reaction:

[tex]N_2(g)+3F_2(g)\rightarrow 2NF_3(g)[/tex]

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of [tex]N_2[/tex] produces 2 moles of [tex]NF_3[/tex]

So, 0.689 moles of [tex]N_2[/tex] will produce = [tex]\frac{2}{1}\times 0.689=1.378mol[/tex] of [tex]NF_3[/tex]

Hence, 1.378 moles of [tex]NF_3[/tex] are produced in the reaction.

b. Write the equation that would allow you solve for the concentration of NO.
c. What is the concentration of NO if [NZ] = 0.166M and [02] = 0.145M?

Answers

Answer:

(a): The expression of equilibrium constant is [tex]K_{eq}=\frac{[NO]^2}{[N_2][O_2]}[/tex]

(b): The equation to solve the concentration of NO is [tex][NO]=\sqrt{K_{eq}\times [N_2]\times [O_2]}[/tex]

(c): The concentration of NO is 0.0017 M.

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of the concentration of products to the concentration of reactants raised to the power of the stoichiometric coefficient of each. It is represented by the term [tex]K_{eq}[/tex]

(a):

The given chemical equation follows:

[tex]N_2+O_2\rightarrow 2NO[/tex]

The expression for equilbrium constant will be:

[tex]K_{eq}=\frac{[NO]^2}{[N_2][O_2]}[/tex]

(b):

The equation to solve the concentration of NO follows:

[tex][NO]=\sqrt{K_{eq}\times [N_2]\times [O_2]}[/tex]            ......(1)

(c):

Given values:

[tex]K_{eq}=1.2\times 10^{-4}[/tex]

[tex][N_2]_{eq}=0.166M[/tex]

[tex][O_2]_{eq}=0.145M[/tex]

Plugging values in equation 1, we get:

[tex][NO]=\sqrt{(1.2\times 10^{-4})\times 0.166\times 0.145}[/tex]

[tex][NO]=\sqrt{2.88\times 10^{-6}}[/tex]

[tex][NO]=0.0017 M[/tex]

Hence, the concentration of NO is 0.0017 M.

Calculate the volume of 0.07216 M AgNO3 needed to react exactly with 0.3572 g of pure Na2CO3 to produce solid Ag2CO3.

Answers

Answer:

93.4 mL

Explanation:

Let's state the reaction:

2AgNO₃ +  Na₂CO₃  →   Ag₂CO₃  +  2NaNO₃

We determine the moles of sodium carbonate:

0.3572 g . 1mol / 105.98g = 3.37×10⁻³ moles

Ratio is 1:2. We say:

1 mol of sodium carbonate react to 2 moles of silver nitrate

Then, our 3.37×10⁻³ moles of carbonate may react to: 3.37×10⁻³ . 2

= 6.74×10⁻³ moles

If we convert to mmoles → 6.74×10⁻³ mol . 1000 mmol / mol = 6.74 mmol

Molarity is mol/L but we can use mmol /mL

6.74 mol / volume in mL = 0.07216 M

6.74 mol / 0.07216 M = volume in mL → 93.4 mL

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\mathbf{FeCl_3 + AgNO_3 \to 3 AgCl+Fe(NO_3)_3}[/tex]

Explanation:

From the given question,

The chemical equation is:

[tex]\mathbf{FeCl_3 + AgNO_3 \to 3 AgCl+Fe(NO_3)_3}[/tex]

We are given that:

mass of [tex]FeCl_3[/tex] = 45 g

number of moles of [tex]FeCl_3[/tex]  = 45 g/162.2 g/mol

= 0.28 mol

mass of [tex]AgNO_3[/tex] = 25g

number of moles of [tex]AgNO_3[/tex]  = 25/169.87

= 0.147 mol

From the given equation 1 mole of [tex]FeCl_3[/tex] is required to make 3 mole of [tex]AgNO_3[/tex]  

0.28 mole of [tex]FeCl_3[/tex] = 0.28 × 3 = 0.84 mol of [tex]AgNO_3[/tex]  

Here [tex]AgNO_3[/tex]  is the limiting reagent.

Thus,

3 mole of [tex]AgNO_3[/tex]  = 3 moles of AgCl

0.147 mole of [tex]AgNO_3[/tex] = 0.147 mole of AgCl produced.

Predict the effect of an eightfold pressUre increase on the equillbrium composition of the reaction 3 Nalg) + H2lg) 2 NaHlg)​

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Given the reaction;

3N2(g) + H2(g) = 2N3H(g).

We know that when a constraint is imposed on a reaction system in equilibrium, the equilibrium position will shift in such a way as to annul the constraint.

In this case, when the pressure is increased eightfold, the equilibrium position will shift towards the direction where there is the least total volumes.

In this particular reaction, the forward reaction has the least total volumes and is favoured by an eightfold increase in pressure.

Hence, when the pressure is increased eightfold, more N3H(g) is obtained.

In electrophilic aromatic substitution, the benzene ring undergoes substitution when it is reacted with suitable electrophiles.

The products of electrophilic aromatic substitution depends on the substituents already present on the benzene ring. Some substituents activate the ring towards electrophilic substitution and direct the incoming electrophile to the ortho and para positions on the ring while some substituents deactivate the benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution and direct the incoming electrophlle to the meta position on the ring.

The amide substituent is moderately activating and is an ortho, para director hence the products shown in the mage attached to this answer.

Answers

Answer:

Pure water contains no ions.  TRUE

Pure water contains equal amounts of hydroxide [OH-] and hydronium [H3O+ ] ions.  TRUE

Explanation:

This is the equilibrium for pure water:

2H₂O  ⇄  H₃O⁺  +  OH⁻          Kw

We see that pure water has no Ions. Pure water can not conduct electricity.

Generally ionized water comes from the water tap.

Another feature of pure water is pH.

Definetely pH of pure water is : 7

As pH = 7, [H₃O⁺] = 1×10⁻⁷

Then, [OH⁻] = 1×10⁻⁷

This is reazonable because Kw is 1×10⁻¹⁴ and Kw = [H₃O⁺] . [OH⁻]

In conclussion:

Pure water contains no ions.  TRUE

Pure water contains equal amounts of hydroxide [OH-] and hydronium [H3O+ ] ions.  TRUE

Pure water contains larger amounts of hydroxide [OH-] than hydronium [H3O+] ions.  FALSE

Pure water is an electrolyte. FALSE
