Answer:

a) Ca (s) + 2 H₂O (l) ---> Ca(OH)₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

b) Al₂O₃ (s) + 3 C (s) + 3 Cl₂ (g) ---> 2 AICI₃ (s) + 3 CO (g)

c) 2 FeCl₃ (aq) + 3 H₂S (g) ---> Fe₂S₃ (s) + 6 HCI (aq)

d) CaCO₃ (s) + 2 HCI (aq) ---> CaCl₂ (aq) + CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l)

Explanation:

For an equation to be balanced, there must be an equal amount of each type of atom on both sides of the reaction. The reactants are on the left side and the products are on the right side.

a) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The unbalanced equation:

Ca (s) + H₂O (l) ---> Ca(OH)₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

Reactants: 1 calcium, 2 hydrogen, 1 oxygen

Products: 1 calcium, 4 hydrogen, 2 oxygen

The balanced equation:

Ca (s) + 2 H₂O (l) ---> Ca(OH)₂ (aq) + H₂ (g)

Reactants: 1 calcium, 4 hydrogen, 2 oxygen

Products: 1 calcium, 4 hydrogen, 2 oxygen

b) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The unbalanced equation:

Al₂O₃ (s) + C (s) + Cl₂ (g) ---> AICI₃ (s) + CO (g)

Reactants: 2 aluminum, 3 oxygen, 1 carbon, 2 chlorine

Products: 1 aluminum, 1 oxygen, 1 carbon, 3 chlorine

The balanced equation:

Al₂O₃ (s) + 3 C (s) + 3 Cl₂ (g) ---> 2 AICI₃ (s) + 3 CO (g)

Reactants: 2 aluminum, 3 oxygen, 3 carbon, 6 chlorine

Products: 2 aluminum, 3 oxygen, 3 carbon, 6 chlorine

c) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The unbalanced equation:

FeCl₃ (aq) + H₂S (g) ---> Fe₂S₃ (s) + HCI (aq)

Reactants: 1 iron, 3 chlorine, 2 hydrogen, 1 sulfur

Products: 2 iron, 1 chlorine, 1 hydrogen, 3 sulfur

The balanced equation:

2 FeCl₃ (aq) + 3 H₂S (g) ---> Fe₂S₃ (s) + 6 HCI (aq)

Reactants: 2 iron, 6 chlorine, 6 hydrogen, 3 sulfur

Products: 2 iron, 6 chlorine, 6 chlorine, 3 sulfur

d) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The unbalanced equation:

CaCO₃ (s) + HCI (aq) ---> CaCl₂ (aq) + CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l)

Reactants: 1 calcium, 1 carbon, 3 oxygen, 1 hydrogen, 1 chlorine

Products: 1 calcium, 1 carbon, 3 oxygen, 2 hydrogen, 2 chlorine

The balanced equation:

CaCO₃ (s) + 2 HCI (aq) ---> CaCl₂ (aq) + CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l)

Reactants: 1 calcium, 1 carbon, 3 oxygen, 2 hydrogen, 2 chlorine

Products: 1 calcium, 1 carbon, 3 oxygen, 2 hydrogen, 2 chlorine

When carbon is burned in air, it reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide. When 27.6 g of carbon were burned in the presence of

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 101.2 g of CO2

Explanation:

C = 27.6 g

O₂ = 86.5 g remained 12.9 g

O₂ that reacted = 86.5 - 12.9 = 73.6 g

C + O₂ ⇒ CO₂ The equation is balanced

27.6 73.6 ?

MW 12 32 44

Rule of three

12 g of C------------------ 44 g CO2

27.6 g C ------------------ x

x = 27.6(44)/12 = 101.2 g of CO2

32 g of O2 --------------- 44 g of CO2

73.6 g of O2 ------------ x

x = 73.6(44)/32 = 101.2 g of CO2

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! Calculate the bond for CO2

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Bonding Order = number of bonding electrons – number of antibonding electrons/2.

So for CO2, there is a total of 16 electrons, 8 of which are antibonding electrons.

So 16 – 8 = 8; divided by 2 = 4. So, 4 is the bonding order of CO2. The molecular structure of CO2 looks like this:
