The equation that is balanced among the given options is the first equation NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2O

From the question,

We are to determine which of the options gives a balanced equation for the reaction between sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrochloric acid (HCl) to make table salt (NaCl) and water (H₂O)

To do this, we will check which of the given equations is balanced, by checking the equations one after the other.

First, we will define what is meant by balanced equation.

Balanced equations are those whose coefficients result in equal numbers of atoms for each element in the reactants and products

  • For NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2O

On the reactants side

Na = 1

O = 1

H = 2

Cl = 1

On the products side

Na = 1

O = 1

H = 2

Cl = 1

Since equal number of atoms of each element are present at both the reactants and products sides, then the equation is balanced

  • For 2NaOH + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H2O

On the reactants side

Na = 2

O = 2

H = 4

Cl = 1

On the products side

Na = 2

O = 1

H = 2

Cl = 2

The number of atoms of each element present at the reactants side and that present at products side are not equal.

∴ The equation is not balanced

  • For 2NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2O

On the reactants side

Na = 2

O = 2

H = 3

Cl = 1

On the products side

Na = 1

O = 1

H = 2

Cl = 1

The number of atoms of each element present at the reactants side and that present at products side are not equal.

∴ The equation is not balanced

  • For NaOH + 2HCl → NaCl + H2O

On the reactants side

Na = 1

O = 1

H = 2

Cl = 2

On the products side

Na = 1

O = 1

H = 2

Cl = 1

The number of atoms of each element present at the reactants side and that present at products side are not equal.

∴ The equation is not balanced

Hence, the equation that is balanced is the first equation NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2O

Gnom [1K]

Answer: The empirical formula for the given compound is C_5H_7N

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of compound having carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen follows:

C_xH_yN_z+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

where, 'x', 'y' and 'z' are the subscripts of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of CO_2=21.363mg=21.363\times 10^3g=21363g

Mass of H_2O=6.125g=6.125\times 10^3g=6125g

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 21363 g of carbon dioxide, \frac{12}{44}\times 21363=5826.27g of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 6125 g of water, \frac{2}{18}\times 6125=680.55 of hydrogen will be contained.

Now we have to calculate the mass of nitrogen.

Mass of nitrogen in the compound = (7875) - (5826.27 + 680.55) = 1368.18 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of Carbon =\frac{\text{Given mass of Carbon}}{\text{Molar mass of Carbon}}=\frac{5826.27g}{12g/mole}=485.52moles

Moles of Hydrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of Hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of Hydrogen}}=\frac{680.55g}{1g/mole}=680.55moles

Moles of Nitrogen = \frac{\text{Given mass of nitrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of nitrogen}}=\frac{1368.18g}{14g/mole}=97.73moles

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.0154 moles.

For Carbon = \frac{485.52}{97.73}=4.96\approx 5

For Hydrogen  = \frac{680.55}{97.73}=6.96\approx 7

For Nitrogen = \frac{97.73}{97.73}=1

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : N = 5 : 7 : 1

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound nicotine is C_5H_7N_1=C_5H_7N

Select the correct hybridization for the central atom based on the electron geometry cocl2 (carbon is the central atom).
Rainbow [258]
In this compound (Phosgene) the central atom (carbon is Sp² Hybridized).

Sp, Sp² and Sp³ can be calculated very simply by doing three steps, 

Step 1:
           Assume triple bond and double bond as one bond and assign s or p to it. In this example carbon double bond oxygen is considered once and let suppose it is s. Now we are having our s.

Step 2:
          Count lone pair of electron, each lone pair counts for s and p. In this case there is no lone pair of electron on carbon, so not included.

Step 3:
          Count single bonds for s and p. As we have already assigned s to the double bond, now one p for one single bond, and other p for the other single bond.

Result:
          So, we counted 1 s for double bond, 1 p for one single and other p for second single bond. As a whole we got,

                                                       Sp²

Practice:
You can practice for hybridization of Oxygen in this molecule. Oxygen has 2 lone pair of electrons. (Hint: Sp² Hybridization)
