We produce formaldehyde for medicinal purposes and synthesizing polyester.

Formaldehyde is a compound that is required in about 1.5 ounces in quantity as a normal part of our metabolism.

Also formaldehyde is used as a catalyst in the formation for the synthesis of many polyesters.

Formaldehyde also has many uses such as fungicide, germicide, disinfectant and as a preservative in mortuaries as well as important chemical in medical Laboratories.

In everyday items press fabric paints coating and paper base products also includes formaldehyde.

When the equation Eg(s) + DnGO4(aq) ---> Dn(s) + Eg2(GO4)3(aq) is balanced, what is the coefficient in

Artemon [7]

B) 2

You would first balance GO4 by adding a coefficient of 3 in front of DnGO4 in the reactants. Then you’d balance the 3DnGO4 by adding a coefficient of 3 in front of Dn in the products. Finally you’d balance Eg by adding a coefficient of 2 in front of Eg to balance with the Eg2(GO4)3 in the products.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

97.1%

Explanation:

Using the ideal gas equation, the number of moles of hydrogen gas produced can be calculated from information provided about the volume of gas evolved at a given temperature and pressure.

The stoichiometry of the reaction is now used to obtain the number of moles of Zn that will produce a given number of moles of hydrogen from the balanced reaction equation as shown. This gives us the number of moles of zinc reacted hence the mass of zinc in the coin since it is assumed that all the zinc reacts.

This is now used to calculate the mass percentage of Zn as shown.
