Write a balanced net ionic equation for the following reaction

1 answer:

5 0

Best Answer: We would write the molecular equation as ....
BaCl2(s) + H2SO4(aq) --> BaSO4(s) + 2HCl(aq)

You would write the ionic equation as....
BaCl2(s) + H+ + HSO4^- --> BaSO4(s) + 2H+ + 2Cl-

remove the H+ from both sides and write the net ionic equation as.....
BaCl2(s) + HSO4^- --> BaSO4(s) + H+ + 2Cl-

If you placed BaCl2 solid in sulfuric acid it would quickly acquire a coating of insoluble BaSO4 which will prevent the further reaction of the barium chloride.

The same is true if you took a block of BaCl2 and placed a drop of H2SO4 solution on it. The solid BaSO4 that forms will block further reaction. You would get HCl gas only if the small amount of solution became saturated in HCl.

How many atoms are in 25.00 g of B.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 1.393 *10^{24} \ atoms \ B}}$

Explanation:

1. Convert Grams to Moles

Use the molar mass (found on the Periodic Table) to convert from grams to moles.

Boron (B): 10.81 g/mol

Use this value as a ratio.

$\frac {10.81 \ g \ B }{1 \ mol \ B}$

Multiply by the given number of grams.

$25.00 \ g \ B *\frac {10.81 \ g \ B }{1 \ mol \ B}$

Flip the ratio so the grams of boron cancel out.

$25.00 \ g \ B *\frac {1 \ mol \ B }{10.81 \ g \ B}$

$25.00 *\frac {1 \ mol \ B }{10.81 }$

$\frac {25.00 \ mol \ B }{10.81 }=2.312673451 \ mol \ B$

2. Convert Moles to Atoms

We use Avogadro's Number, 6.02*10²³: the number of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case, the particles are atoms of boron.

$\frac {6.02*10^{23} \ atoms \ B} {1 \ mol \ B}$

Multiply by the number of moles we calculated.

$2.312673451 \ mol \ B *\frac {6.02*10^{23} \ atoms \ B} {1 \ mol \ B}$

The moles of boron cancel.

$2.312673451 *\frac {6.02*10^{23} \ atoms \ B} {1 }$

$2.312673451 *6.02*10^{23} \ atoms \ B} =1.39269195*10^{24} \ atoms \ B$

The original value of grams has 4 significant figures, so our answer should have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the thousandth place.

$1.392\underline69195*10^{24} \ atoms \ B$

The 6 tells us to round the 2 to a 3.

$1.393 *10^{24} \ atoms \ B$

25.00 grams of boron is equal to 1.393*10²⁴ atoms.

What happens to the potential energy of an object when it falling from a high place?

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The higher up an object is the greater its gravitational potential energy. ... As most of this GPE gets changed into kinetic energy, the higher up the object starts from the faster it will be falling when it hits the ground. So a change in gravitational potential energy depends on the height an object moves through.

Gaseous ethane reacts with gaseous oxygen gas to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . What is the theoretical yiel

Effectus [21]

Answer:

1) Write the balanced equation:

2C2H6 + 7O2 ---> 4CO2 + 6H2O

2) Determine limiting reagent:

C2H6 ⇒ 13.8 g / 30.0694 g/mol = 0.45894 mol

O2 ⇒ 45.8 g / 31.9988 g/mol = 1.4313 mol

C2H6 ⇒ 0.45894 / 2 = 0.22947

O2 ⇒ 1.4313 / 7 = 0.20447

Oxygen is limiting.

3) Determine theoretical yield of water:

The oxygen : water molar ratio is 7 : 6

7 is to 6 as 1.4313 mol is to x

x = 1.2268286 mol of water

4) Convert moles of water to grams:

1.2268286 mol times 18.015 g/mol = 22.1 g (to three sig figs)

Solution to (b):

14.2 g / 22.1 g = 64.2%

Bismuth(III) sulfate is an ionic compound formed from Bi3+ and SO42-. What is the correct way to represent the formula?

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Bi2(SO4)3

Explanation:

Bismuth(iii) sulfate is an ionic compound therefore, their is transfer of electron. Ionic compound has both cations and anions. The cations is positively charged ion while the anions is negatively charged ions. The cations loses electron to become positively charged while the anions gains electron to become negatively charged.

From the compound above, Bismuth(iii) sulfate the cations will be Bismuth ion which loses 3 electrons. The anions is the sulfate ion (S04)2- with a -2 charge.

The chemical formula can be computed from the charge configuration as follows

Bi3+ and (SO4)2-

cross multiply the charges living the sign behind to get the chemical formula

Bi2(SO4)3

Note the final chemical formula, the numbers are sub scripted
