Sodium chloride cannot conduct electricity in the solid state because it
Detalhes da Resposta
Sodium chloride (NaCl) cannot conduct electricity in the solid state because it does not contain mobile ions. In the solid state, the sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl) ions are held tightly in a lattice structure, and cannot move freely to conduct an electric current. When dissolved in water, NaCl dissociates into its ions, which are free to move and conduct electricity. Therefore, NaCl is an example of an ionic compound that conducts electricity only when dissolved in water or melted.

A positive brown ring test indicates the presence of
Detalhes da Resposta
The positive brown ring test indicates the presence of nitrate ions (NO3). The test is done by adding freshly prepared iron(II) sulfate (FeSO4) solution and concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to the test solution. If nitrate ions are present in the solution, a brown ring will form at the junction of the two liquids. This occurs because nitrate ions reduce Fe2+ ions to Fe3+ ions, which then react with the sulfuric acid to form Fe(HSO4)2 which appears as the brown ring.

The most suitable method for preparing lead (ll) chloride is by
Detalhes da Resposta
The most suitable method for preparing lead (II) chloride is by mixing aqueous solutions of Pb(NO3)2 and NaCI. When aqueous solutions of lead nitrate and sodium chloride are mixed, a white precipitate of lead (II) chloride is formed. The other options mentioned in the question are not suitable for preparing lead (II) chloride. For example, the action of dilute HCl on PbSO4 will produce lead (II) sulfate, not lead (II) chloride. Similarly, the action of dilute HCl on lead will produce lead (II) chloride, but it is not the most suitable method for preparing lead (II) chloride. Therefore, the correct answer is "mixing aqueous solutions Pb(NO3)2 and NaCI."

Detalhes da Resposta
Destructive distillation is the process of heating coal in the absence of air to obtain useful products. During this process, coal is broken down into various components. Ammoniacal liquor, coal gas, coke, and coal tar are some of the products obtained from the destructive distillation of coal. However, producer gas is not obtained directly from the destructive distillation of coal. It is obtained by passing air over coke at a high temperature. Therefore, the correct option is "producer gas."

Detalhes da Resposta
If a solid has a low melting point and dissolves readily in benzene, it would probably have covalent bonding. Covalent compounds are those that are held together by sharing of electrons between atoms, and they typically have low melting points and do not conduct electricity in either the solid or molten state. Benzene, a nonpolar solvent, readily dissolves covalent compounds, which explains why the solid in question dissolves readily in it. Strong electrostatic forces of attraction are associated with ionic compounds, which typically have high melting points and are soluble in polar solvents like water.

What is the amount (in mole) of hydrogen gas that would be produced if 0.6 mole of hydrochloric acid reacted with excess zinc according to the following equation? Zn(s) + 2HCI(aq) → ZnCI2(aq) + H2(g)
Detalhes da Resposta
According to the balanced chemical equation, 1 mole of zinc reacts with 2 moles of hydrochloric acid to produce 1 mole of hydrogen gas. Zn(s) + 2HCI(aq) → ZnCI2(aq) + H2(g) Therefore, if 0.6 mole of hydrochloric acid is used, it will react with 0.3 mole of zinc to produce 0.3 mole of hydrogen gas. Thus, the amount of hydrogen gas produced is 0.3 mole. Therefore, the correct option is: 0.3 mole.

What is the percentage by mass of copper in copper in copper (l) oxide (CU2O)? [O = 16; CU =64]
Detalhes da Resposta
To determine the percentage by mass of copper in copper (I) oxide (Cu2O), we need to calculate the molar mass of Cu2O, which is the sum of the atomic masses of the elements in the compound. Molar mass of Cu2O = 2Cu + O = (2 x 64) + 16 = 144 g/mol The molar mass of copper in Cu2O is 2 x 64 = 128 g/mol The percentage by mass of copper in Cu2O is: (128 g Cu / 144 g Cu2O) x 100% = 88.9% Therefore, the correct answer is 88.9%.
Pergunta 19 Relatório
What mass of copper will be deposited by the liberation of Cu2+ when 0.1F of electricity flows through an aqueous solution of a copper (ll) salt? [Cu = 64]
Detalhes da Resposta
The amount of substance that is deposited during an electrolysis reaction can be calculated using Faraday's laws of electrolysis. According to Faraday's laws, the amount of substance deposited is directly proportional to the amount of electricity that flows through the solution. The formula that relates the amount of substance to the amount of electricity is: Amount of substance = (Electricity in Coulombs) / (Faraday constant x Valency) where the Faraday constant is the amount of electric charge per mole of electrons, and the valency is the number of electrons involved in the redox reaction. For the given problem, the copper (II) ion has a valency of 2, and we are given that 0.1 F of electricity flows through the solution. The Faraday constant is 96,485 Coulombs per mole of electrons. Therefore, the amount of copper that will be deposited can be calculated as: Amount of substance = (0.1 F) / (2 x 96,485 C/mol) = 5.18 x 10^-5 mol The molar mass of copper is 64 g/mol, so the mass of copper that will be deposited is: Mass of copper = Amount of substance x Molar mass = 5.18 x 10^-5 mol x 64 g/mol = 0.00331 g ≈ 3.2 g (rounded to one decimal place) Therefore, the answer is 3.2g.

Which of the following molecules is linear in shape?
Detalhes da Resposta
The shape of a molecule is determined by its electronic geometry, which depends on the arrangement of the atoms and the number of electron pairs around the central atom. A molecule is considered linear if it has two atoms and no lone pairs of electrons on the central atom. Based on this definition, the molecule that is linear in shape is CI2 because it has two chlorine atoms and no lone pairs of electrons on the central atom. All the other molecules listed have lone pairs or more than two atoms, which means they are not linear in shape.

The alloy of mercury is amalgam. An amalgam is a type of alloy that consists of mercury as one of the components. Amalgams are usually used in dentistry to fill cavities. When mercury is mixed with other metals like silver, tin, or copper, it forms a soft, pliable material that can be easily shaped to fill the cavity. Once the amalgam hardens, it becomes a durable and long-lasting filling. Therefore, the correct answer is Amalgam.
Pergunta 24 Relatório
The following salts dissolve readily in cold water except
Detalhes da Resposta
Among the given options, the salt that does not dissolve readily in cold water is PbSO4. This is because PbSO4 is an ionic compound with a high lattice energy, meaning that its ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction. These forces of attraction make it difficult for the PbSO4 crystals to break apart and dissolve in water. Therefore, PbSO4 is considered insoluble in water. The other options, such as CaCI2, (NH4)2SO4, Na2CO3, and Na2SO3, readily dissolve in cold water due to their ionic nature and low lattice energy.

Detalhes da Resposta
The function of limestone in the extraction of iron in the blast furnace is to remove impurities from the iron ore. During the extraction process, iron ore is heated with coke (a form of carbon) and air to produce molten iron, which is then drained from the bottom of the furnace. However, the iron ore contains impurities such as silicon dioxide (SiO2), which is acidic in nature and can corrode the lining of the furnace. Limestone (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) is added to the blast furnace to act as a flux, which neutralizes the acidic impurities and forms a slag, a waste material that can be easily removed from the furnace. Thus, the function of limestone is to purify the iron ore by removing the impurities and prevent the corrosion of the furnace lining.

Which of the following is hydrocarbons is unsaturated?
Detalhes da Resposta
The hydrocarbon that is unsaturated is benzene. A hydrocarbon is considered unsaturated when it contains at least one double or triple bond between carbon atoms, which means that it has fewer hydrogen atoms per carbon atom than a saturated hydrocarbon. Benzene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon with a ring structure and alternating double bonds between carbon atoms. The other options, ethane, propane, 2-methylbutane, and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane, are all saturated hydrocarbons, which means they only have single bonds between carbon atoms and are fully saturated with hydrogen atoms.

(i) Determine which of the two salts will separate out when the solution is cooled to 60°C. N = 14. O = 16, CI = 35.5, K = 39; Solubility of KNO\(_3\) in water at 60\(^o\)C = 5.14 mol.dm\(^{-3}\), Solubility of KCIO\(_3\) in water at 60°C = 1.61 mol.dm\(^{-3}\)
(ii) Calculate the mass of salt that will separate out at 60°C
(c)(i) List two salts which cause hardness of water.
(ii) Explain why temporary hardness of water result in the furring of kettle.
a)(i) Saturated solution: A saturated solution is a solution that has dissolved the maximum amount of solute at a given temperature and pressure, where any additional solute will remain undissolved at the bottom of the container.
a)(ii) Preparation of saturated solution: To prepare a saturated solution of sodium trioxonitrate(V) at 30°C, a known mass of the solute is added to a fixed volume of solvent (water) at 30°C, and stirred continuously until no more solute dissolves, and some amount remains undissolved.
a)(iii) Recovery techniques: Two techniques that can be used to recover crystals of sodium trioxonitrate(V) from its saturated solution are cooling the solution, which will cause the excess solute to crystallize out, and evaporation of the solvent, which will leave the solute behind as crystals.
b)(i) Separation of salts: To determine which of the two salts will separate out when the solution is cooled to 60°C, we need to compare the solubility of each salt at 60°C with the concentration of each salt in the solution at 90°C. The solubility of KNO3 in water at 60°C is higher than the solubility of KCIO3 in water at 60°C, so KNO3 will remain in solution while KCIO3 will separate out.
b)(ii) Calculation of mass: To calculate the mass of salt that will separate out at 60°C, we need to use the solubility data and the concentration of KCIO3 in the solution. The amount of KCIO3 in the solution at 90°C is 245g, which is equal to 245/122 = 2.01 mol. At 60°C, the solubility of KCIO3 is 1.61 mol.dm-3, so the maximum amount of KCIO3 that can remain in solution is 1.61 mol. Therefore, the amount of KCIO3 that will separate out is 2.01 - 1.61 = 0.40 mol. The molar mass of KCIO3 is (39+35.5+3x16) = 122g/mol, so the mass of KCIO3 that will separate out is 0.40 x 122 = 48.8g.
c)(i) Salts causing hardness of water: Two salts that cause hardness of water are calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and magnesium sulfate (MgSO4).
c)(ii) Temporary hardness of water: Temporary hardness of water is caused by the presence of dissolved calcium and magnesium bicarbonates, which can decompose upon heating, leading to the formation of insoluble calcium and magnesium carbonates. These carbonates deposit as a layer of scale (furring) on the inside of kettles and other hot water equipment.
