Answer
The element that is oxidized is Si and the one that is reduced is F₂.
Explanation
Si + 2F₂ → SiF₄
The given reaction is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:
Oxidation: Si → Si⁴⁺ + 4e⁻
Reduction: 2F₂ + 4e⁻ → 4F⁻
Si is a reducing agent, and F₂ is an oxidizing agent.
An oxidizing agent gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction.
A reducing agent loses electrons and is oxidized in a chemical reaction.
Therefore, the element that is oxidized is Si and the one that is reduced is F₂.
A 3.00 L sample of paint that has a density of 4.65 g/mL is found to contain 33.1 g lead (II) nitride. what is mass percentage of lead in the paint and what is the ppm?
Density relates the mass of a compound to its volume. We will first find the mass of the solution using the density and volume given. We have the following equation:
[tex]\rho=\text{ density = }\frac{Mass}{Volume}[/tex]We clear the mass,
[tex]\begin{gathered} Mass\text{ = }\rho\times Volume \\ Mass\text{ =}4.65\frac{g}{mL}\times3000mL \\ Mass\text{ =}13950\text{ g} \end{gathered}[/tex]So, the mass of paint is 13950 g. Now the mass percentage of the lead in the paint will be calculated as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \%mass=\frac{\text{ Mass of lead (II) nitride}}{Mass\text{ of paint}}\times100 \\ \%mass=\frac{33.1\text{ g}}{13950\text{ g}}\times100 \\ \%mass=0.24\% \end{gathered}[/tex]The mass percentage of lead in the paint is 0.24%.
ppm concentration means the quantity of solute in milligrams (mg) is in a liter (L) of a solution. So, to calculate ppm concentration we will divide the milligrams of lead (II) nitride between the liters of paint:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ppm = }\frac{\text{33.1g of lead}\times\frac{1000mg}{1g}}{3L} \\ \text{ppm =11033ppm of lead} \end{gathered}[/tex]The ppm of lead in the paint is 11033ppm.
What is the [ OH -1 ] in a 0.01 M KOH solution? a. 1 X 10^-2 M b. 1 X 10^-14M c. 1 X 10^-7Md. 1X10^-12M
Answer
Explanation
Given:
[KOH] = 0.01 M
What to find:
The hydroxyl concentration, [OH⁻¹].
Step-by-step solution:
pH or pOH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
Acids have pH ranging from 1 to 6.9 and bases have pH ranging from 7.1 to 14. Neutral substances have a pH of 7.
The dissociation of KOH in aqueous medium is:T
[tex]undefined[/tex]What is the pH of a 0.670 M solution of Ca(NO₂)₂ (Ka of HNO₂ is 4.5 × 10⁻⁴)?
The pH of a 0.670 M solution of Ca(NO₂)₂ is 1.76
When HNO₂ dissociates, it forms H⁺ and NO₂⁻ ions.
HNO₂ ==> H⁺ + NO₂⁻
Ka of HNO₂ = [H⁺] [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂] = 4.5× 10⁻⁴
Let’s take x for unknown
4.5 x 10⁻⁴ = (x)(x) / 0.670
4.5 x 10⁻⁴ = x² / 0.670
x² = 3.015 x 10⁻⁴
x = 1.74 x 10⁻²
[H⁺] = 1.74 x 10⁻² M
pH is the measurement of the acidity or basicity of a compound. It ranges from 0 to 14
Therefore, the pH of a 0.670 M solution of Ca(NO₂)₂ is
pH = -log [H⁺]
pH = -log 1.74 x 10⁻²
pH = 1.76
The pH of a 0.670 M solution of Ca(NO₂)₂ is 1.76 which lies in the acidic range (0 to 7)

If I begin with 13.5G of aluminum. How much will I need? I picked B but I’m not sure if I’m correct
Explanation:
Aluminum will react with chlorine gas according to the following reaction:
2 Al (s) + 3 Cl₂ (g) ----> 2 AlCl₃
We have to find the mass of Cl₂ that will completely react with 13.5 g of Al. First we have to convert the mass of Al to moles using its molar mass.
molar mass of Al = 26.98 g/mol
moles of Al = 13.5 g * 1 mol/(26.98 g)
moles of Al = 0.500 mol
2 Al (s) + 3 Cl₂ (g) ----> 2 AlCl₃
Now, according to the coefficients of the reaction, 2 moles of Al will react with 3 moles of Cl₂. So the molar ratio between them is 2 to 3. We can use that relationship to find the number of Cl₂ that will react with 0.500 mol of Al.
2 mol of Al : 3 moles of Cl₂ molar ratio
moles of Cl₂ = 0.500 mol of Al * 3 moles of Cl₂/(2 moles of Al)
moles of Cl₂ = 0.750 mol
And finally we can convert back to grams using the molar mass of Cl₂.
molar mass of Cl₂ = 70.91 g/mol
mass of Cl₂ = 0.750 moles * 70.91 g/(1 mol)
mass of Cl₂ = 53.2 g
Answer: a. 53.2 g of Cl₂ for complete reaction.

During the chlorination of silicon, chlorine gas is reacted with solid silicon to form silicon tetrachloride.Si(s) + 2Cl2(g) + heat - SiC|4(g)Which will not cause the reaction to shift towards the products?A) adding a catalystB) increasing the pressureC increasing the temperatureD) increasing the concentration of CL2(g)
Let's analyze each option to find what best fit as an answer:
A - the function of a catalyst is to lower the energy of activation in a reaction, causing it to occur in a faster way. Since this question is not much about energy or kinetics, this would be the best fit, adding a catalyst or not adding it would not be too influential in the shift of the reaction.
B - Increasing the pressure in a reaction containing gases will mostly favor the side with a lower value of moles, smaller amount of moles = less pressure, so if we add more pressure, the reaction will shift towards the side of the products
C - If we treat heat as a reactant, if we add more temperature, it will shift towards the products, to counteract this increase of temperature
D - Adding reactants will favor the reaction to shift towards the products
Therefore the answer is letter A

A 150 g piece of iron (Cp = 25.09 J/(mol-°C)) was heated to a temperature of
47°C and then placed in contact with a 275 g piece of copper at 20°C (Cp = 25.46
J/(mol-°C)). What is the final temperature of the two pieces of metal?
Final temperature of the two pieces of metal is 32.25°C
Temprature is the degree of hotness or coldness of the object
Here given data is
Mass of iron = 150 g
Mass of copper = 275 g
Specific heat of iron = 25.09 J/mol°C
Specific heat of copper = 25.46J/mol°C
Temprature in iron = 47°C = initial temprature = T₁
Temprature in copper = 20°C = initial temprature = T₁'
So here we have to find final temprature of two pieces of metal =?
So, the formula is Q =mcΔT
Q = (150 g - 275 g) × (25.09 J/mol°C - 25.46J/mol°C) × ( 47°C-20°C )
Q = 125×0.37×27
Q = 243 J
243 J/125×0.37 = 5.25°C = change in temprature
Initial temprature = 27°C
Final temprature = ?
ΔT = T₂ - T₁
27°C = T₂ - 5.25°C
T₂ = 27°C + 5.25°C
T₂ = 32.25°C
Final temperature of the two pieces of metal is 32.25°C

I do not know how to find out what pairs will make an ionic bond, i am also confused on the difference between a covalent bond and ionic.
In simple terms a covalent bond is when we have sharing of electrons, which means there is no polarity being formed when the elements are bonded, this is more likely to occur with atoms with high electronegativity, or same pair of elements, like O2, where we have O - O (Oxygen bonded with Oxygen), since they have the same electronegativity, there is no charge being formed
The same can not be told for ionic bonds, where we have very different elements being bonded together, with a big electronegativity difference, which means we have polarity being formed (which basically means that we have charge in the compound)
One way to find out if a compound is covalent or ionic is by checking their positions in the periodic table, for example, let's analyze our question
We have:
A) Fluorine - Fluorine, here we have a classical example of covalent bond, since there is no "stronger" element, pulling the electrons towards its side, they are the same, hence, the same strength
B) Carbon - Chlorine, we have two non-metals, with a relatively high electronegativity each one of them, so there is ions being formed, therefore it is covalent
C) Potassium - Oxygen, in this case we have a metal and non-metal bonding together, and since potassium has only 1 electron in its valence shell, it will easily give up this electron to another element, therefore K will receive a positive charge (which means loss of electron) and oxygen will receive a negative charge (which means gain of electron), and this is an ionic bond
D) Oxygen - nitrogen is the same case as letter B
It is also possible to check an electronegativity table, in which there are some rules that helps you understand if a compound is more likely to be covalent or ionic
A chemist prepares a solution of magnesium fluoride (MgF2) by measuring out 6.73mg of magnesium fluoride into a 250.mL volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water. Calculate the concentration in mol/L of the chemist's magnesium fluoride solution. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
We have to find the molarity of a solution of Magnesium Fluoride. The definition of molarity is:
Molarity = moles of solute/Volume of solution in L
Our solute is MgF₂:
Molarity = moles of MgF₂ / L of solution
From the problem we know that the volume of the solution that the chemist prepared is 250. mL, we will have to convert that into L.
We know that there are 1000 mL in 1 L. So:
1 L = 1000 mL
250. mL = 250. mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.250 L
Volume of solution in L = 0.250 L
Now we have to find the number of moles of MgF₂ that the chemist added. From the problem we know the mass of MgF₂ added. Let's convert it to g:
1000 mg = 1 g
mass of MgF₂ = 6-73 mg
6.73 mg = 6.73 mg * 1 g/1000 mg = 0.00673 g
mass of MgF₂ = 0.00673 g
When we want to find the number of moles that we ave in a certain amount of a compound, we have to use the molar mass. Let's find the molar mass of MgF₂.
According to the periodic table the atomic mass of Mg is 24.3 amu and the atomic mass of F is 19 amu. So the molar mass of MgF₂ is:
molar mass of MgF₂ = 24.3 + 2 * 19 = 62.3 g/mol
molar mass of MgF₂ = 62.3 g/mol
Using the molar mass we can find the number of moles that we have in 6.73 mg or 0.00673 g of MgF₂:
moles of MgF₂ = 0.00673 g/(62.3 g/mol)
moles of MgF₂ = 1.08 * 10^-4 moles
So the chemist added 1.08 * 10^-4 moles of MgF₂ in 0.250 L of solution. Then the molarity of the solution is:
Molarity = moles of solute/Volume of solution in L
Molarity = 1.08 * 10^-4 moles/0.250 L
Molarity = 4.32 * 10^-4 M
So the answer to our problem is 4.32 * 10^-4 M

What is the correct lewis structure for CO2?a) Ab) Bc) Cd) D
Of the options given, the correct one for the Lewis structure of CO₂ is option A.
In the covalent structure of CO₂, each atom will tend to have 8 electrons on its side, in order to comply with the octet rule. In this rule, an atom that has 8 electrons in its valence shell, will gain stability for having a noble gas electronic configuration.
Hence, the correct lewis structure for CO₂ is option A. In this configuration, each atom has 8 electrons on its side and all of them are neutral (the total charge of the molecule is zero). They all achieve the octet rule.
Although in option B all the atoms have 8 electrons (thus complying with the octet rule), in this configuration the oxygen atom on the left has a negative charge (-1) and the oxygen on the right side has a positive charge (+1). The total charge on the molecule is zero (it is neutral). In fact, this is a resonance structure of configuration A.
In option C, the total charge of the molecule is -2, so this is not a stable configuration. The number of electrons on carbon is wrong.
Finally, in option D the oxygen on the right side does not achieve the octet rule (it only has 6 electrons shared), and also the carbon atom has a charge of -2, and the oxygens have charges of -1 (left) and +3 (right), so this is not a stable configuration.
Therefore, the correct lewis structure for CO₂ is option A.

What’s the maximum mass of calcium chloride that can form? Not a timed or graded assignment. Quick answer = amazing review :)
In order to solve this question we need to set up the properly balanced equation first:
CaCO3 + 2 HCl -> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
Now that our reaction is properly balanced, we have to find the limiting reactant in order to find how much mass of CaCl2 will be produced
We have:
10.0 g of CaCO3, molar mass = 100.086 g/mol
15.0 g of HCl, molar mass = 36.46 g/mol
Now we need to find the number of moles of the reactants, and see if the amount available of the other reactant is the one needed to react.
CaCO3:
100.086g = 1 mol
10g = x moles
x = 0.099 moles of CaCO3
According to the molar ratio, the CaCO3 and HCl will have a relationship in which we will always need 2 times more HCl than CaCO3, therefore if we have 0.099 moles of CaCO3, we will need 0.198 moles of HCl in order to proceed with the reaction, but we don't know if that is the right amount, let's check:
HCl:
36.46g = 1 mol
15.0g = x moles
x = 0.411 moles of HCl, this means that we have an excess of HCl, since we only need 0.198 moles in order to react with CaCO3. Therefore Calcium carbonate is the limiting reactant.
Now that we know which one is the limiting reactant, we can find the mass produced of CaCl2.
Again the molar ratio is important here, but know, we will always have the same number of moles for CaCO3 and CaCl2, 1:1 will be the molar ratio, therefore if we have 0.099 moles of CaCO3, we will also have 0.099 moles of CaCl2, using its molar mass, 110.978g/mol, we can find the final mass
CaCl2:
110.978g = 1 mol
x grams = 0.099 moles
x = 11.0 grams (it is actually 10.986 grams, but I have rounded up to 11 grams)
