Explanation:
For which reaction, carried out at standard conditions, wouldboth the enthalpy and entropy changes drive the reaction in thesame direction? Please EXPLAIN.
A. 2H2(g) + O2(g) --->2H2O(l) ΔH = -571.1 kJ
B. 2Na(s) + Cl2(g)---->2NaCl(s) ΔH = -822.0kJ
C. N2(g) + 2O2(g) ---->2NO2(g) ΔH= +67.7 kJ
D. 2NH3(g) ----> N2(g) +3H2(g) ΔH= +92.4 kJ
Answer:
2NH3(g) ----> N2(g) +3H2(g) ΔH= +92.4 kJ
Explanation:
Entropy increases with increase in the number of particles from left to right in a reaction. Hence, the reaction; 2NH3(g) ----> N2(g) +3H2(g) ΔH= +92.4 kJ is favoured by increase in entropy.
Similarly, the enthalpy change for the reaction is only +92.4 KJ. Hence for this reaction, both enthalpy and entropy changes drive the reaction in the same direction.

CHML 1046 general chemistryExperiment "Buffers and Buffer Capacity" 1. What (NH3/ NH4+) ratio is required for a buffer solution that has pH = 7.00? Кь = 1.8x10-5 for NH3 and Ka = 56x10-10 for NH4.2. Why is a mixture of NHs and NH.CI a poor choice for a buffer having pH 7?
Answer:
Explanation:
For pH of a buffer solution , the equation is
pH = pKa + log [ A⁻ ] / [ HA ]
Putting the values
7 = - log 56 x 10⁻¹⁰ + log [ NH₃ ] / [ NH₄⁺]
7 = 10 - log 56 + log [ NH₃ ] / [ NH₄⁺]
- 3 + 1.748 = log [ NH₃ ] / [ NH₄⁺]
log [ NH₃ ] / [ NH₄⁺] = - 1.25
[ NH₃ ] / [ NH₄⁺] = [tex]10^{-1.25}[/tex]
Required ratio = [tex]10^{-1.25}[/tex]
2 )
In the formation of NH₄⁺ , generally HCl acid is required . A little bit of excess HCl will change the pH required . So , this mixture is a poor choice for getting pH 7 for a buffer solution .
Which of the following molecules is achiral? A) (2R,3R)-2,3-Dichloropentane B) (2R,3S)-2,3-Dichloropentane C) (2S,3S)-2,3-Dichlorobutane D) (2R,3S)-2,3-Dichlorobutane E) None of these
Answer:
E) None of these
Explanation:
For this question, we must remember the definition of a chiral carbon. In the chiral carbons, we have four different groups around the carbon.
So, an achiral molecule would be a molecule that does not have chiral carbons. That is, in an achiral molecule in all carbons we have at least one repeating group.
In all the molecules, which we have in the question, we have absolute configuration. That is, we have chiral carbons. In molecule A we have two chiral carbons (R and R), in molecule b we have two chiral carbons (R and S), in molecule c we have two chiral carbons (S and S) and in molecule d we have two chiral carbons (R and S). Therefore in all molecules, we have chiral carbons.
Now, if we analyze molecules a and c, we have a plane of symmetry. If we have a plane of symmetry, even though there are chiral carbons, there will be no optical activity. That is, these molecules do not have the ability to deflect polarized light despite having chiral carbons. Therefore molecules a and c are meso compounds.
But optical activity is not related to chirality.

What is heat transferred from movement of fluids in a circular motion called
Answer: it's known as heat transfer
Explanation: Heat always moves from a warmer substance to a cooler substance. For example, holding an ice cube will make your hand begin to feel cold in a few seconds. But is the coldness in the ice cube moving to your hand? No! Since cold is the absence of heat, it’s the heat in your hand that moves to the ice cube. This is one of the ways that heat is transferred.
According to the concept of thermal energy, heat transfer in a circular motion is called as convection.
What is thermal energy?
Thermal energy is defined as a type of energy which is contained within a system which is responsible for temperature rise.Heat is a type of thermal energy.It is concerned with the first law of thermodynamics.

what is the average speed in miles per hour of a sprinter who who does thehundred yard dash in 11.3 seconds
Answer:
18.1 mi/h
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
Distance traveled (d): 100 yd
Time elapsed (t): 11.3 s
Step 2: Convert "d" to miles
We will use the relationship 1 mi = 1,760 yd.
100 yd × (1 mi/1,760 yd) = 0.0568 mi
Step 3: Convert "t" to hours
We will use the relationship 1 h = 3,600 s.
11.3 s × (1 h/3,600 s) = 3.14 × 10⁻³ h
Step 4: Calculate the average speed (s)
We will use the following expression.
s = d / t
s = 0.0568 mi / 3.14 × 10⁻³ h
s = 18.1 mi/h
Gold (Au) has a density of 19.3 g/ml. A gold filling falls out of your teeth and you bring it to chemistry class. When you drop it into a graduated cylinder the water rises from 9.27 ml to 12.03 ml.
What is the mass of your gold filling?
Answer:
53.27 g.
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Density of gold = 19.3 g/mL
Volume of water = 9.27 mL
Volume of water + gold = 12.03 mL
Mass of gold =.?
Next, we shall determine the volume of the gold filling. This can be obtained as follow:
Volume of water = 9.27 mL
Volume of water + gold = 12.03 mL
Volume of gold =?
Volume of gold = (Volume of water + gold) – (Volume of water)
Volume of gold = 12.03 – 9.27
Volume of gold = 2.76 mL
Finally, we shall determine the mass of the gold filling as follow:
Density of gold = 19.3 g/mL
Volume of gold = 2.76 mL
Mass of gold =.?
Density = mass/volume
19.3 = mass of gold /2.76
Cross multiply
Mass of gold = 19.3 × 2.76
Mass of gold = 53.27 g
The, the mass of the gold filling is 53.27 g.
If you lived in Flint, Michigan why would it be important for you to understand chemistry
Answer:
If I lived in Flint, Michigan, it would be important for me to understand chemistry because of the high contamination levels of water in the city, in order to know how to help to solve this issue and to avoid any potential harm to my health.
There is an ongoing drinking water issue since 2014 in Flint, Michigan. In April 2014, the Flint authorities changed the source of water from the Detroit Water and Sewage Department, which takes it from Lake Huron and the Detroit River, to the Flint River for cost-effective reasons. This led to a series of water quality problems culminating in the presence of lead, creating a serious threat to public health.
Thinking about simple organic molecules made with only carbon and hydrogen and
no other elements (hydrocarbons), what are four different ways to make new
molecules? (Hint: Two versions of the same "way" only count as one thing!)
Answer:
Explanation:
Simple organic molecules having only carbon and hydrogen are alkanes, alkenes and alkynes.
Ways of making these molecules are referred to as synthesis
Synthesis of
(1) alkanes can be achieved by halogenation of an alkene or alkyne as shown in the reaction below
C₂H₄ + H₂ ⇒ C₂H₆
The reaction above shows an alkene (ethene) undergoing halogenation to form an alkane (ethane). This reaction occurs in the presence of a platinum or nickel catalyst
C₂H₂ + 2H₂ ⇒ C₂H₆
The reaction above shows an alkyne (ethyne) undergoing halogenation to form an alkane (ethane). This reaction also occurs in the presence of a nickel or platinum catalyst
(2) Alkanes can be achieved by Wurtz reaction; treating alkyl halides with sodium metal as shown below
CH₃CH₂Br + 2Na + BrCH₂CH₃ ⇒ CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₃ + 2NaBr
This reaction proceed in the presence of a dry ether.
(3) alkanes from Kolbe's electrolytic method; this involves the synthesis of alkanes through the electrolysis of sodium or potassium salt of a carboxylic acid
2CH₃COO⁻Na⁺ + 2H₂O ⇒ CH₃CH₃ + 2CO₂ + H₂ + 2NaOH
(4) alkenes from dehydration of alcohol, as shown in the reaction below
C₂H₅OH ⇒ C₂H₄ (-H₂O)
The reaction above proceeds by heating the alcohol (ethanol) at high temperature in the presence of strong acid such as sulphuric acid.

Choose the best description for the indicated bond H-CEC-CH3 A) This is a triple bond between two carbons in which three pi bonds hold the atoms together. B) This is a single bond between two carbons formed by the overlap of an sp orbital on each carbon. Extra electrons on each carbon exist as lone pairs in p orbitals. C) This is a triple bond between two carbons in which a sigma bond arises from sp- sp overlap and two pi bonds are formed by side-to-side overlap of unhybridized p orbitals on each carbon. D) This is a triple bond between two carbons in which there are three sigma bonds between the atoms, which are each spa hybridized
Answer:
(Chemical compound and indicated bond in attachment).
C) This is a triple bond between two carbons in which a sigma bond arises from sp- sp overlap and two pi bonds are formed by side-to-side overlap of unhybridized p orbitals on each carbon.
Explanation:
Alkynes are hydrocarbons that contain carbon-carbon triple bonds. Each carbon atom is bound to the other two atoms, and there are no free valence electrons. Each carbon atom needs two hybrid orbitals to form the skeleton of sigma bonds. The hybridization of the s orbital with a p orbital generates two hybrid orbitals, oriented at 180º of separation for each carbon atom. The overlap of these hybrid orbitals sp with the s orbitals from the hydrogen produces the skeleton of sigma bonds.
The result of the overlap of the two remaining unhybridized p orbitals of each atom of carbon is the formation of two pi bonds. These orbitals overlap in right angles with each other, forming a pi bond with electronic density above and below the sigma bond and the other with electronic density in front of and behind the sigma bond. The form of these pi bonds is such that they combine to form a cylinder of electron density that "wraps" the sigma bond between the two carbon atoms.

12.9 Theoretical Yield and Percent Yield
FlexBooks® 2.0 > CK-12 Chemistry For High School > Theoretical Yield and Percent Yield
It is best to have high yields for chemical reactions
Can we save some money?
The world of pharmaceutical production is an expensive one. Many drugs have several steps in their synthesis and use costly chemicals. A great deal of research takes place to develop better ways to make drugs faster and more efficiently. Studying how much of a compound is produced in any given reaction is an important part of cost control.
Percent Yield
Chemical reactions in the real world don’t always go exactly as planned on paper. In the course of an experiment, many things will contribute to the formation of less product than would be predicted. Besides spills and other experimental errors, there are usually losses due to an incomplete reaction, undesirable side reactions, etc. Chemists need a measurement that indicates how successful a reaction has been. This measurement is called the percent yield.
To compute the percent yield, it is first necessary to determine how much of the product should be formed based on stoichiometry. This is called the theoretical yield, the maximum amount of product that could be formed from the given amounts of reactants. The actual yield is the amount of product that is actually formed when the reaction is carried out in the laboratory. The percent yield is the ratio of the actual yield to the theoretical yield, expressed as a percentage.
Percent yield is very important in the manufacture of products. Much time and money is spent improving the percent yield for chemical production. When complex chemicals are synthesized by many different reactions, one step with a low percent yield can quickly cause a large waste of reactants and unnecessary expense.
Typically, percent yields are understandably less than 100% because of the reasons indicated earlier. However, percent yields greater than 100% are possible if the measured product of the reaction contains impurities that cause its mass to be greater than it actually would be if the product was pure. When a chemist synthesizes a desired chemical, he or she is always careful to purify the products of the reaction.
Sample Problem: Calculating the Theoretical Yield and the Percent Yield
Potassium chlorate decomposes upon slight heating in the presence of a catalyst according to the reaction below:
In a certain experiment, 40.0 g KClO3 is heated until it completely decomposes. What is the theoretical yield of oxygen gas? The experiment is performed and the oxygen gas is collected and its mass is found to be 14.9 g. What is the percent yield for the reaction?
First, we will calculate the theoretical yield based on the stoichiometry.
Step 1: List the known quantities and plan the problem.
Known
given: mass of KClO3 = 40.0 g
molar mass KClO3 = 122.55 g/mol
molar mass O2 = 32.00 g/mol
Unknown
theoretical yield O2 = ? g
Apply stoichiometry to convert from the mass of a reactant to the mass of a product:
Step 2: Solve.
The theoretical yield of O2 is 15.7 g.
Step 3: Think about your result.
The mass of oxygen gas must be less than the 40.0 g of potassium chlorate that was decomposed.
Now, we use the actual yield and the theoretical yield to calculate the percent yield.
Step 1: List the known quantities and plan the problem.
Known
Actual yield = 14.9 g
Theoretical yield = 15.7 g (from Part 12.11A)
Unknown
Percent yield = ? %
Use the percent yield equation above.
Step 2: Solve.
Step 3: Think about your result.
Since the actual yield is slightly less than the theoretical yield, the percent yield is just under 100%.
Summary
Theoretical yield is calculated based on the stoichiometry of the chemical equation.
The actual yield is experimentally determined.
The percent yield is determined by calculating the ratio of actual yield/theoretical yield.
Review
What do we need in order to calculate theoretical yield?
If I spill some of the product before I weigh it, how will that affect the actual yield?
How will spilling some of the product affect the percent yield?
I make a product and weigh it before it is dry. How will that affect the actual yield?

Write a balanced equation for the neutralization of hydrochloric acid by barium hydroxide. Use the smallest possible integer coefficients.
Answer:
2HCl + Ba(OH)2 = BaCl2 + 2H2O
Explanation:
To solve such this we must know the concept of neutralization reactions. Therefore, the balanced equation for the neutralization of hydrochloric acid by barium hydroxide is 2HCl + Ba(OH)[tex]_2[/tex] [tex]\rightarrow[/tex] BaCl[tex]_2[/tex] + 2H[tex]_2[/tex]O.
What is chemical reaction?Chemical reaction is a process in which two or more than two molecules collide in right orientation and energy to form a new chemical compound. The mass of the overall reaction should be conserved.
Neutralization is an acid-base reaction in which an acid reacts with just a base to produce salt and water. The pH of a neutralizing solution is determined by the acid strength and concentrations of the reactants. The balanced equation for neutralization of hydrochloric acid by barium hydroxide can be written as
2HCl + Ba(OH)[tex]_2[/tex] [tex]\rightarrow[/tex] BaCl[tex]_2[/tex] + 2H[tex]_2[/tex]O
Therefore, the balanced equation for the neutralization of hydrochloric acid by barium hydroxide is 2HCl + Ba(OH)[tex]_2[/tex] [tex]\rightarrow[/tex] BaCl[tex]_2[/tex] + 2H[tex]_2[/tex]O.

An iceberg has a volume of 783 m3. If the density of ice = 0.917 g/cm3, how much mass does the iceberg have in kg?
Answer:
7.18 × 10⁵ kg
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
Volume of the iceberg (V): 783 m³
Density of ice (ρ): 0.917 g/cm³
Step 2: Convert "V" to cm³
We will use the relationship 1 m³ = 10⁶ cm³.
783 m³ × (10⁶ cm³/1 m³) = 7.83 × 10⁸ cm³
Step 3: Calculate the mass (m) of the iceberg
We will use the following expression.
ρ = m/V
m = ρ × V
m = 0.917 g/cm³ × 7.83 × 10⁸ cm³
m = 7.18 × 10⁸ g
Step 4: Convert "m" to kg

Which solution below would have the greatest buffering capacity? The solution was prepared from a weak acid and the salt of its conjugate base. 0.160 M C6H5OHCOOH and 0.160 M C6H5OHCOONa, Ka = 1.05e-3 0.0892 M H2NCH2COOH and 0.0892 M H2NCH2COOK, Ka = 4.50e-3 0.0725 M H2NCH2COOH and 0.0725 M H2NCH2COONa, Ka = 4.50e-3 0.1360 M C6H5OHCOOH and 0.1360 M C6H5OHCOOK, Ka = 1.05e-3
Answer:
0.1360 M C₆H₅OHCOOH and 0.1360 M C₆H₅OHCOOK,
Ka = 1.05x 10⁻³ .
Explanation:
The first mixture
0.160 M C₆H₅OHCOOH and 0.160 M C₆H₅OHCOONa,
Ka = 1.05x 10⁻³ .
The second mixture
0.0892 M H₂NCH₂COOH and 0.0892 M H₂NCH₂COOK,
Ka = 4.5 x 10⁻³ .
The third mixture
.0725 M H₂NCH₂COOH and 0.0725 M H₂NCH₂COONa,
Ka = 4.5 x 10⁻³
fourth mixture
0.1360 M C₆H₅OHCOOH and 0.1360 M C₆H₅OHCOOK,
Ka = 1.05x 10⁻³ .
In all the mixtures the ratio of acid and its salt are same and equal to one so this ratio will not determine their relative buffering capacity .
Now we know that weak acid has more buffering capacity so mixture having acid of less Ka will have more buffering capacity .
Ka is less if
Ka = 1.05 x 10⁻³ .
Dilute acids have greater buffering capacity
So ultimate answer is
0.1360 M C₆H₅OHCOOH and 0.1360 M C₆H₅OHCOOK,
Ka = 1.05x 10⁻³ .
