a) Balanced equation;

Au +3 NO^{-}  _{3} +4Cl^{- }+6H^{+} ⇒ AuCl^{-}_{4}  + 3NO_{2} + 3H_{2} O

b) oxidizing agent: N

    reducing agent: Au

a) The unbalanced redox equation is as follows:

Au + NO^{-}  _{3} +Cl^{- }+H^{+} ⇒ AuCl^{-}_{4}  + NO_{2} + H_{2} O

Balance all atoms other than H and O.

Au + NO^{-}  _{3} +4Cl^{- }+H^{+} ⇒ AuCl^{-}_{4}  + NO_{2} + H_{2} O

The oxidation number of gold changes from 0 to +3. The change in the oxidation number of gold is 3.The oxidation number of nitrogen changes from +5 to +4. The change in the oxidation number of nitrogen is 1.

So,

Au +3 NO^{-}  _{3} +4Cl^{- }+H^{+} ⇒ AuCl^{-}_{4}  + 3NO_{2} + H_{2} O

Now balance O atoms on RHS,

Au +3 NO^{-}  _{3} +4Cl^{- }+H^{+} ⇒ AuCl^{-}_{4}  + 3NO_{2} + 3H_{2} O

Now, balance hydrogen atoms on RHS,

Au +3 NO^{-}  _{3} +4Cl^{- }+6H^{+} ⇒ AuCl^{-}_{4}  + 3NO_{2} + 3H_{2} O

This is the balanced chemical equation.

b) oxidizing agent: N

    reducing agent: Au

NH_{4}Cl and NaCl<br> Balanced Equation<br> Total Ionic Equation<br> Net Ionic Equation
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Based on compounds given, NO reaction occurs

Explanation

The compounds should exchange ions to generate a driving force that pulls the reaction to completion. => Example ...

The Molecular Equation is ...

NH₄Cl(aq) + AgNO₃(aq) => NH₄NO₃(aq) + AgCl(s)

Silver chloride forms in this reaction as a solid precipitate because of its low solubility and is the 'Driving Force' of the reaction. Driving Force is a more stable compound than any on the reactant side and when formed leaves the reaction system as a solid ppt, liquid weak electrolyte (i.e., weak acid or weak base) or a gas decomposition product of a weak electrolyte.

The Ionic Equation is ...

NH₄⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) + Ag⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) => NH₄⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq) + AgCl(s)

This shows all ions from reaction plus the Driving Force of the reaction.

The Net Ionic Equation is ...

Ag⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq) => AgCl(s)

The Net Ionic Equation shows only those ions undergoing reaction. The NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions are 'Spectator Ions' and do not react.

Attached is a reference sheet for determining the Driving Force of a Metathesis Double Replacement Reaction. Suggest reviewing acid-base theories and the products of decomposition type reactions.

New questionWhat mass of calcium chloride (CaCl₂) would beproduced from the reaction of 125.9 g of hydrochloriacid (HCI) with ex
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

191.6 g of CaCl₂.

Explanation:

What is given?

Mass of HCl = 125.9 g.

Molar mass of CaCl₂ = 110.8 g/mol.

Molar mass of HCl = 36.4 g/mol.

Step-by-step solution:

First, we have to state the chemical equation. Ca(OH)₂ react with HCl to produce CaCl₂:

Ca(OH)_2+2HCl\rightarrow CaCl_2+2H_2O.

Now, let's convert 125.9 g of HCl to moles using the given molar mass (remember that the molar mass of a compound can be found using the periodic table). The conversion will look like this:

125.9\text{ g HCl}\cdot\frac{1\text{ mol HCl}}{36.4\text{ g HCl}}=3.459\text{ moles HCl.}

Let's find how many moles of CaCl₂ are being produced by 3.459 moles of HCl. You can see in the chemical equation that 2 moles of HCl reacted with excess Ca(OH)₂ produces 1 mol of CaCl₂, so we state a rule of three and the calculation is:

3.459\text{ moles HCl}\cdot\frac{1\text{ mol CaCl}_2}{2\text{ moles HCl}}=1.729\text{ moles CaCl}_2.

The final step is to find the mass of CaCl₂ using the molar mass of CaCl₂. This conversion will look like this:

1.729\text{ moles CaCl}_2\cdot\frac{110.8\text{ g CaCl}_2}{1\text{ mol CaCl}_2}=191.6\text{ g CaCl}_2.

The answer would be that we're producing a mass of 191.6 g of CaCl₂.

What do you think happens to the bonds between atoms when substances melt?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

As a substance melts, and goes from a solid to a liquid state, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, and the molecules move faster, and they separate further and further away from each other.  The intermolecluar forces holding the molecules together become weaker.  This is why a liquid can take fill the shape of its container, whereas a solid has a fixed shape.
