The answer is option 2 , the smallest whole-number coefficients, the coefficient of Pb²⁺ will be 2.

What is a Balanced Chemical Equation ?

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

There are two types of numbers that appear in chemical equations.

There are subscripts, which are part of the chemical formulas of the reactants and products;

and there are coefficients that are placed in front of the formulas to indicate how many molecules of that substance is used or produced.

Balance The Equation:

Pb²⁺ + Au²⁺ = Pb⁴⁺ + Au

Label Each Compound With a Variable

Label each compound with a variable to represent the unknown coefficients.

aPb²⁺ + bAu²⁺ = c Pb⁴⁺ + d Au

Create a System of Equations

Create an equation for each element where each term represents the number of atoms of the element in each reactant or product.

Pb: 2a + 0b = 4c + 0d

Au: 0a + 2b = 0c + 1d

e: 0a + -1b = -1c + 0d

2a - 4c = 0

2b - 1d = 0

-1b + 1c = 0

Solve For All Variables

Use substitution,

Substitute Coefficients and Verify Result

2Pb²⁺ + Au²⁺ = Pb⁴⁺ + 2 Au

So the answer is 2 , option 2

What was one main point of daltons atomic theory

bagirrra123 [75]

The main points of Dalton's atomic theory are: Everything is composed of atoms, which are the indivisible building blocks of matter and cannot be destroyed. All atoms of an element are identical. The atoms of different elements vary in size and mass.

We have 1700 Tonnes of Amoniac every day. How many tonnes of 63% Nitrogen soda we can get?

V125BC [204]

There are 3 equations involved in manufacturing Nitric Acid from Ammonia.

First the ammonia is oxidized:
4NH3 + 5O2 = 4NO + 6H2O

Then for the absorption of the nitrogen oxides.
2NO + O2 = N2O4

Lastly, the N2O4 is further oxidized into Nitric acid.
3N2O4 + 2H2O = 4HNO3 + 2NO

Then run stoichiometry through these equations.
The first equation produces roughly 271,722,938 grams of NO
The second equation produces roughly 416,606,944 grams of N2O4
The last equation produces roughly 380,412,294 grams of HNO3 (nitric acid)

Convert the exact number back into tons, and your answer is: 419.332775 tons.

Rounded, I'm going to say that's 419.33 tons.
Hope this helps! :)

Also, it seems that commercially, Nitric Acid is commonly made by bubbling NO2 into water, rather than using ammonia.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

$m=7.07gH_{2}SO_{4}$

Explanation:

1. Take in account the sulfuric acid at STP:

$1840\frac{g}{L}$

2. Density is expressed as the ratio between the mass and the volume of a substance so:

$d=\frac{m}{V}$

Solving for m:

$m=\frac{V}{d}$

3. Replace values:

$m=\frac{1.30*10^{4}L}{1840\frac{g}{L}}$

$m=7.07gH_{2}SO_{4}$

What would be the voltage (Ecell) of a voltaic cell comprised of Cd(s)/Cd2+(aq) and Zr(s)/Zr4+(aq) if the concentrations of the

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

1.05 V

Explanation:

Since;

E°cell= E°cathode- E°anode

E°cathode= -0.40 V

E°anode= -1.45 V

E°cell= -0.40-(-1.45) = 1.05 V

Equation of the process;

2Zr(s) + 4Cd^2+(aq) ---->2Zr^4+(aq) + 4Cd(s)

n= 8 electrons transferred

From Nernst's equation;

Ecell = E°cell - 0.0592/n log Q

Ecell= E°cell - 0.0592/8 log [0.5]/[0.5]

Since log 1=0

Ecell= E°cell= 1.05 V
