Answer:

The correct answer is 2.75 grams of HCl.

Explanation:

The given balanced equation is:  

CaCO₃ (s) + 2HCl (aq) ⇒ CaCl₂ (aq) + H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g)

Based on the given information, one mole of calcium carbonate is reacting with two moles of HCl. The molecular mass of HCl is 36.5 grams, thus, the mass of 2 moles of HCl will be, 36.5 × 2 = 73 grams

The molecular mass of CaCO₃ is 100 gram per mole, that is, the mass of 1 mole of CaCO₃ is 100 grams, therefore, the mass of HCl required for reacting with 3.75 grams of CaCO₃ will be,  

= 3.75 × 2 × 36.5 / 100 = 2.74 grams of HCl.

For a reaction at equilibrium, which change can increase the rates of the forward and reverse reactions?a decrease in the concen
Monica [59]
Question requires a change resulting in an increase in both forward and reverse reactions. Now lets discuss options one by one and see there impact on rate of reactions.

1) <span>A decrease in the concentration of the reactants:
                                                                                       
When concentration of reactant is decreased it will shift the equilibrium in Backward direction, so resulting in increasing the backward reaction and decreasing the forward direction. Hence, this option is incorrect.

2) </span><span>A decrease in the surface area of the products:
                                                                               Greater the surface Area greater is the chances of collision and greater will be the rate of reaction. As the surface area of products is decreased it will not favor the backward reaction. Hence again this statement is incorrect according to given statement.

3) </span><span>An increase in the temperature of the system:
                                                                             An increase in temperature will shift the reaction in endothermic side. Hence, if the reaction is endothermic, an increase in temperature will increase the rate of forward direction or if the reaction is exothermic it will increase the rate of reverse direction. Hence, this option is correct according to given statement.

4) </span><span>An increase in the activation energy of the forward reaction:
                                                                                                   An increase in Activation energy will decrease the rate of reaction, either it is forward or reverse. So this is incorrect.

Result:
          Hence, the correct answer is,"</span>An increase in the temperature of the system".

Convert 78.9 kJ into calories Can you also explain how pls? ty
Naddik [55]

Explanation:

1 kJ = 238.85 cal and

1 cal = 0.004187 kJ

so it will be 78.9×238.85 = <em><u>1</u></em><em><u>8</u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u>8</u></em><em><u>4</u></em><em><u>4</u></em><em> </em>calories

78.9 Kilojoules (kJ) = 18,844 Calories (IT) (cal)

What characteristics of sodium and chlorine atoms allow them to form the stable compound sodium chloride, Also known as table sa
katrin2010 [14]
Atoms 'like' to have 8 valence electrones. sodium has one electron 'in excess' and chlorine 'lacks' in one. so they just exchange :) both are happy. then the ionic bond is formed because chlorine is now charged negative (additional electron) and sodium is charged positive (gave up one electrone) - the opposite charges cause electrostatic pull. many atoms, many bonds and thats how salt is built.
