[quote author=Ai-bi-ke]Pls d gurus in d aus,as u take mr Labodinho's Q,U can as well break dis down 4 us!

19.04g of ammonia were mixed with 31.10g of hydrogenchloride gas in a closed container,
a.whch of the reactants was in excess and by howmuch
b.how much ammoniumchloride was formed
c.how much more of d insufficient reactant would b needed to completely react with excess of other reactant?
(N=14,H=1, Cl=35.5)

pls,I need it worked out![/quote]This a matter of throwing trials to the calculation to knw which is excess or not,
1mol NH(3) + 1mol HCl=> 1mol of NH(4)Cl
Mass before sparking:
19.04g NH(3) + 31.10g HCl=>........
using
36.5g HCl => 17g NH(3)
31.10g HCl => (31.10 * 17)/(36.5)
so we have 14.48g of NH(3)
when i tried the other......I got
40.58g of HCl.....this means that HCl was just enough while the NH(3) was in excess
a) So NH(3) was in excess and by an amount of (19.04 - 14.48)=4.56g

b) so we then can use 14.48g of NH(3) or 31.10g of HCl to calculate that of the AMMONIUM ION.....
36.5g of HCl=> 53.5g of NH(4)Cl
31.10g of HCl=>(31.1 * 53.5)/(36.5)
so, the Mass amount of the ammonium ion=45.58g

c)To get the other amount to react with the excess NH(3).....You do it as follow!
17g of NH(3) => 36.5g of HCl
4.56g of NH(3) => (4.56 * 36.5)/(17)
=9.79g of HCl
So the mass just need is
9.79g of HCl..!

Hg=201]


2)When a solution of ammonium trioxocarbonate(iv) is added to a solution

hydrochloric acid but insoluble in ethanoic acid is formed.This
indicates the presence of

A)Ca^2+

D)K^+[/quote]Solution to your 1st QST
Zn^2+ + 2e^-1 => Zn
65g of Zn liberates 2e
then 0.65g of Zn lib (0.65 * 2)/65
=0.02e^-..........
Hg^2+ + 2e^- => Hg
2e^- => 201g
0.02e^- =>(201 * 0.02)/(2)

For ur 2nd QST

That STOICHOMETRY involving testing for the unknown substance is perculiar to

2nd QST.....
This question is about moment of changing volume with time...not as in the normal change in velocity with time
Force=Mass * accelearation
Mass=Density(d) * Volume(V)
Acc=Vel/time
Force=Density(d) * Volume * velocit/time
Volume =Area(A) * Lenght(L)
F=density * Area * Length * Vel/time
F= density * area *(Length/time) *velocity
we can now,accept dat
Lenght/time=Velocity of the water
F=density * area * Velocity * Velocity
Force=Density * area * (Velocity)^2
Force=dav^2
Force=1000 * 0.0005 * 400

Thus,

Force of the flow=200N

[/color]
The questions are very correct...let me solve them
1st QST

Vol of CO + Vol of CO(2)=45cm^3
Let have it that Vol of CO(2)=xcm^3
so,that of CO=(45-x)cm^3......

Dont forget the gas laws to use are

AVOGADRO'S LAW or GAY-LUSSAC LAW of GAS COMBINATION!
From reaction,we have
2Vol of CO + 1Vol of O(2)=2Vol of CO(2)
Not forgetting that volume of oxygen=45cm^3
Before sparking:
(45-x)cm^3 of CO + 45cm^3=>---- of CO(2)

After sparking:
(45-x)cm^3 of CO + (45-x)/(2)=> (45-x)cm^
Residual gas of the Oxygen= 45-(45-x)/(2)....we now have (45+x)/(2)

Total gas left that did not combined is
[(45+x)/(2)] + x + (45-x)=70
45 + x + 90 =140
x=5.....i.e. CARBON(IV)OXIDE Volume in the mixture=5cm^3
then
CARBON(II)OXIDE=45-5
=40cm^3

Half Cell Equation.
[Cl(O)3]^(-1)---->Cl^(-1).....eqn 1
Zn--->Zn^(2+)
[Cl(O)3]^(-1)+H20---> Cl^(-1)+OH^(-1)
Zn--->Zn^(2+)+2e^(-1)........eqn2 (*3)
[Cl(O)3]^(-1)+3H20+6e^(-1)---> Cl^(-1)+6OH^(-1)
3Zn--->3Zn^(2+)+6e^(-1)
We then add the two equations up. we now have:
[Cl(O)3]^(-1)+3Zn+3H20+6e^/(-1)--->3Zn^(2+)+6e^/(-1)+ Cl^(-1)+6OH^(-1)
Then we have our final answer as:
[Cl(O)3]^(-1)+3Zn+3H20--->3Zn^(2+)+Cl^(-1)+6OH^(-1).

EducationRe: Online tutorial in Physics, Chemistry, Maths for Jamb and pume by DrLazDevitan: 5:25pm On Jan 05, 2014
aysuccess99: solution
This question would need the application of polynomial.
We would first, expand the two equations i.e, (y^2-9y+15)(y^2-9y+20)=6
when we expand we have:
y^4-9y^3+20y^2-9y^3+81y^2-180y+15y^2-135y+300=6
then we collect like terms, we now have:
y^4-18y^3+116y^2-315y+300=6
we would now conclude our equation by bringing 6 to the RHS, we have.
y^4-18y^3+116y^2-315y+300-6=0
we then have:
y^4-18y^3+116y^2-315y+294=0
this is where the application of polynomial sets in.
so the first value that can divide and give us 0 in the equation is 2.
f(x)=y^4-18y^3+116y^2-315y+294.
when x=2, we have 0 as remainder.
f(2)=(2)^4-18(2)^3+116(2)^2-315(2)+294
f(2)=16-18(cool+116(4)-630+294
f(2)=16-144+464-630+294
f(2)=0
therefore, the first value of y=2
Good!...Where is the other value of y?

Using such a long method is boring!
