First step is to determine the valency of each of x and CaCO3 from the given compounds:

1- As for Li2CO3: we can deduce that the valency of lithium is one while that of CO3 is two

2- As for XCl3: we can deduce that the valency of chlorine is one while that of X is three

Second step is to write the required compound: 
X : CO3  (elements involved)
3 : 2        (write the valency of each)
Then write the positive ion (X) followed by the valency of the negative ion (2) and then the negative ion (CO3) followed by the valency of the positive ion (3).
The final x carbonate is written as: X2(CO3)3

What is the work when a gas expands from 0.666 L to 2.334 L against an external pressure of 2.07 atm?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

work = 3.45 Joules

Explanation:

Work from the 1st Law of Thermodynamics is PΔV in the equation of internal energy => ΔE = ΔH + PΔV.

Therefore, work = PΔV = 2.07atm·(2.334L - 0.666L) = 3.45 L·atm = 3.45 Joules

Which property describes a mixture? Check all that apply.
jeka94

Answers are:

1) It can be separated by physical methods.

2) It can appear different from different sources.

3) It cannot be described by a chemical symbol or formula.

Mixture is composed of at least two substances.

Pure substance is made of only one type of atom (element) or only one type of molecule (compound), mixtures and solutions are made from two or more types of pure substances.

Mixtures can be separeted y physical means, while compounds cannot.

There is a definite recipe to make each mixture, because composition of mixture can vary.

The decomposition of methanol, ch3oh(g), to form ch4(g) and o2(g) absorbs 252.8 kj of heat per mole of oxygen formed. write a ba
Svetllana [295]
The thermochemical equation is the chemical equation including the net change of enthalpy (heat).

The chemical equation for the decomposition of methanol to form methane and oxygen is:

2CH3OH --> 2CH4 + O2

The thermochemical equation is:

2CH3OH ---> 2CH4 + O2  - 252.8 kJ

Note that the heat is placed as negative at the right side because it is absorbed during the decomposition, so the environment will have 252.8 kJ less per each mole of O2 produced.

You can equivalently write:

2CH3OH + 252.8 kJ --> 2CH4 + O2
