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 is the mole to mole ratio of LiOH to HBr for the following reaction?

umka21 [38]

Explanation:

so moles = mass ÷ mr (1+ 79.9)

so 10.00g ÷ 80.9

which is 0.1236093943

so to 3 S.F is 0.124 moles

also there is 1 to 1 ratio for LiOH to HBr

hope this helps :)

What happens to the atomic mass of an element moving from left to right within a period

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

As you move across a period, the atomic mass increases because the atomic number also increases. ... The atomic mass for any given atom mainly comes from the mass of the protons and neutrons.

If equal volumes of 0.1 M HCl and 0.2 M TRIS (base form) are mixed together. The pKa of TRIS is 8.30. Which of the following sta

blondinia [14]

Answer:

option D is correct

D. This solution is a good buffer.

Explanation:

TRIS (HOCH $_{2}$ ) $_{3}$ CNH $_{2}$

if TRIS is react with HCL it will form salt

(HOCH $_{2}$ ) $_{3}$ CNH $_{2}$ + HCL ⇆ (HOCH $_{2}$ ) $_{3}$ NH $_{3}$ CL

Let the reference volume is 100

Mole of TRIS is = 100 × 0.2 = 20

Mole of HCL is = 100 × 0.1 = 10

In the reaction all of the HCL will Consumed,10 moles of the salt will form

and 10 mole of TRIS will left

hence , Final product will be salt +TRIS(9 base)

H = Pk $_{a}$ + log (base/ acid)

8.3 + log(10/10)

8.3
