What is the net ionic equation for 2Sb(OH)3 (s) + 3Na2S (aq) = Sb2S3 + 6NaOH
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

2Sb^(+3) (aq) + 3S^(-2) (aq) = Sb_2•S_3

Explanation:

First of all, let us balance the equation to give;

2Sb(OH)3 (s) + 3Na2S (aq) = Sb2S3 + 3NaOH

Now, we can observe the presence of positive Sodium ions (Na+) and negative hydroxyl ions (OH-) on both left and right sides of the equation.

Now, the two ions will cancel out. These ions are not really involved in the overall reaction and thus do not require being written in the overall equation. Hence, the overall net ionic reaction can now be written as:

2Sb^(+3) (aq) + 3S^(-2) (aq) = Sb_2•S_3

Choose the best statement of the octet rule from those listed below atoms lose 8 electrons to become valent atoms lose 8 electro
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

atoms tend to react in order to gain 8 valence electrons

Explanation:

The octet rule describes the tendency of atoms of elements to react in order to have eight electrons in their valence shell. This is because having eight valence electrons confers stability to the atoms of these elements in the compounds they form.

The octet rule only does not apply to the transition elements or the inner transition elements as only the s and p electrons are involved. the electronic configuration in atoms having an octet is s²p⁶.

For example, sodium atom has one valence electron in its valence shell but a complete octet in the inner shell; it will react with chlorine atom which has seven valence electrons to form a stable compound, sodium chloride by donating its one valence electron in order to have an octet. Similarly, the chlorine atom will then have an octet by accepting the one electron from sodium atom.

Electrolytic cells use electricity to cause a nonspontaneous redox reaction to occur. An electrolytic cell is constructed using
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

At anode - {Br_2}_{(l)}

At cathode - {H_2}_{(g)}

Explanation:

Electrolysis of NaBr:

Water will exist as:

H_2O\rightleftharpoons H^++OH^-

The salt, NaBr will dissociate as:

NaBr\rightarrow Na^++Br^-

At the anode, oxidation takes place, as shown below.

{Br^-}_{(aq)}\rightarrow {Br_2}_{(l)}+2e^-

At the cathode, reduction takes place, as shown below.

2{H^+}_{(aq)}+2e^-\rightarrow {H_2}_{(g)}

How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.360 kg of copper from 23.0 ∘C to 60.0 ∘C? The specific heat of co
AVprozaik [17]
MThe  heat  energy  required  to  raise  the  temperature   of  0.36Kg   of  copper   from   22 c   to  60  c  is  calculate  using  the  following  formula

MC delta T
m(mass)=  0.360kg  in  grams  =  0.360  x1000 = 360 g
  c(specific  heat  energy)  =  0.0920  cal/g.c
delta T =  60- 23  = 37  c

heat  energy is therefore=  360g   x0.0920 cal/g.c  x 37  c=  1225.44  cal
