The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between calcium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid is: Ca(OH)2 ( aq) + 2 HC1 ( aq )→ CaCl2 ( aq ) + 2 H,0 (1) We can interpret this to mean: 1 mole of calcium hydroxide and |mole(s) of hydrochloric acid React to produce: | mole(s) of calcium chloride and |mole(s) of water
Consider the two-step process for the formation of tellurous acid described by the following equations: ???2+ 2??−⟶ ???3 2− + ?2? ???3 2− + 2?+⟶ ?2???3 What mass of H2TeO3 is formed from 74.2 g of TeO2, assuming 100% yield?
2+ Natural waters often contain relatively high levels of calcium ion, Ca²+, and hydrogen carbonate ion (bicarbonate), HCO3¯, from the leaching of minerals into the water. When such water is used commercially or in the home, heating of the water leads to the formation of solid calcium carbonate, CaCO3, which forms a deposit ("scale") on the interior of boilers, pipes, and other plumbing fixtures. Ca(HCO3)2 (aq) → CaCO3 (s) + CO2(g) + H₂O(1) If a sample of well water contains 0.0016 mg of Ca(HCO3)2 per milliliter, what mass of CaCO3 scale would 1.0 mL of this water be capable of depositing? Mass= g
The manufacture of nitrogen trifluoride is a growing industry, due to its use as a plasma etchant in the semiconductor industry. Nitrogen trifluoride can be synthesized by passing a current through a high-temperature mixture of ammonium fluoride and hydrogen fluoride, with hydrogen gas as a byproduct. In one synthesis, 1.20x10^3g ammonium fluoride is reacted with1.20x10^3g hydrogen fluoride to produce 5.00x10^2g nitrogen trifluoride. What is the limiting reactant, excess reactant, theoretical yield of nitrogen trifluoride, percent yield, and mass of excess reactant remaining after the reaction?
Balance the following equation. What is the sum of the coefficients in the balanced equation? KCIO;(s) + P(s) - P,O10(s)+ KCI(s)
One way in which the useful metal copper is produced is by dissolving the mineral azurite, which contains copper(II) carbonate, in concentrated sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid reacts with the copper(II) carbonate to produce a blue solution of copper(II) sulfate. Scrap iron is then added to this solution, and pure copper metal precipitates out because of the following chemical reaction: Fe(s) + CUSO 4(aq) Cu(s) + FeSO4(aq) Suppose an industrial quality-control chemist analyzes a sample from a copper processing plant in the following way. He adds powdered iron to a 450. mL copper(II) sulfate sample from the plant until no more copper will precipitate. He then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate, and finds that it has a mass of 147. mg. Calculate the original concentration of copper(II) sulfate in the sample. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. ?

The Apollo 13 mission astronauts are running out of oxygen and need to get rid of the excess carbon dioxide. You know that sodium hydroxide can remove carbon dioxide from the spacecraft cabin. The filter which they had been using is fully saturated and no longer works. The astronauts have a 5 kg container of sodium hydroxide on the ship. The reaction to neutralize the air, remove carbon dioxide with sodium hydroxide is shown below CO2(g) + 2NaOH(s) ⟶⟶ Na2CO3(aq) + H2O(l) The astronauts have 2 days left before they land on earth. You know that there are three astronauts, and each astronaut emits roughly 500. g of carbon dioxide each day. Is there enough sodium hydroxide in the cabin to cleanse the cabin air of the carbon dioxide, or are the astronauts doomed? Calculate how much sodium hydroxide is required to remove all the carbon dioxide from the three astronauts. Be sure to show all your work!
