Which of the following rules is applicable for balancing a chemical equation?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ber [7]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A.) Change only the coefficients

Explanation:

An equation is balanced when there is an equal quantity of each type of element on both sides of a reaction. When balancing an equation, the only way to manipulate the amounts of each element is by changing the coefficient values. The coefficients alter the amount of each molecule in the reaction.

The subscripts cannot be altered. If you were to change the subscripts, you would be altering the amount of atoms in a particular molecule.

Sulfur dioxide and oxygen react to form sulfur trioxide during one of the key steps in sulfuric acid synthesis. An industrial ch
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The equation for the reaction can be represented as:

2SO_2 + O_2 \to 2SO_3

The I.C.E table can be represented as:

                     2SO₂              O₂                   2SO₃

Initial:             14                  2.6                     0

Change:        -2x                -x                      +2x

Equilibrium:   14 - 2x          2.6 - x                2x

However, Since the amount of sulfur trioxide gas to be 1.6 mol.

SO₃ = 2x,

then x = 1.6/2

x = 0.8 mol

For 2SO₂; we have 14 - 2x

= 14 - 2(0.8)

= 14 - 1.6

= 12.4 mol

For O₂; we have 2.6 - x

= 2.6 - 1.6

= 1.0 mol

Thus;

[SO₂] = moles / volume = ( 12.4/50) = 0.248 M ,

[O₂] = 1/50 = 0.02 M ,  

[SO₃] = 1.6/50 = 0.032 M

Kc = [SO₃]² / [SO₂]² [O₂]

= ( 0.032²) / ( 0.248² x 0.02)

= 0.8325

Recall that; the equilibrium constant for the reaction 2SO_2 + O_2 \to 2SO_3 = 0.8325;

If we want to find:

SO_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}O_2 \to SO_3

Then:

K_c = (0.8325)^{1/2}

\mathbf{K_c = 0.912}

Since no temperature is given to use in the question, it will be impossible to find the final temperature of the mixture.

Acetone is one of the most important solvents in organic chemistry. It is used to dissolve everything from fats and waxes to air
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The half-life time, the team equired for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value, is 79.67 seconds.

Explanation:

The half-life time = the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value. Half of it's value = 50%.

To calculate the half-life time we use the following equation:

[At]=[Ai]*e^(-kt)

with [At] = Concentration at time t

with [Ai] = initial concentration

with k = rate constant

with t = time

We want to know the half-life  time = the time needed to have 50% of it's initial value

50 = 100 *e^(-8.7 *10^-3 s^- * t)

50/100 = e^(-8.7 *10^-3 s^-1 * t)

ln (0.5) = 8.7 *10^-3 s^-1 *t

t= ln (0.5) / -8.7 *10^-3  = 79.67 seconds

The half-life time, the team equired for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value, is 79.67 seconds.
