Which must be the same when comparing 1 mol of oxygen gas, O2, with 1 mol of carbon monoxide gas, CO?

Complete and balance the following redox equation using the set of smallest whole– number coefficients. Now sum the coefficients

Elena L [17]

Answer : The balanced chemical equation in a acidic solution is,

$BrO_3^-(aq)+6H^+(aq)+3Sb^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow Br^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+3Sb^{5+}(aq)$

The sum of the coefficients is, 17

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

Rules for the balanced chemical equation in acidic solution are :

First we have to write into the two half-reactions.

Now balance the main atoms in the reaction.

Now balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction.

If the oxygen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding water molecules at that side where the less number of oxygen are present.

If the hydrogen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding hydrogen ion $(H^+)$ at that side where the less number of hydrogen are present.

Now balance the charge.

The given chemical reaction is,

$BrO_3^-(aq)+Sb^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow Br^-(aq)+Sb^{5+}(aq)$

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : $Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}$

Reduction : $BrO_3^-\rightarrow Br^-$

First balance the main element in the reaction.

Oxidation : $Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}$

Reduction : $BrO_3^-\rightarrow Br^-$

Now balance oxygen atom on both side.

Oxidation : $Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}$

Reduction : $BrO_3^-\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O$

Now balance hydrogen atom on both side.

Oxidation : $Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}$

Reduction : $BrO_3^-+6H^+\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O$

Now balance the charge.

Oxidation : $Sb^{3+}\rightarrow Sb^{5+}+2e^-$

Reduction : $BrO_3^-+6H^++6e^-\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O$

The charges are not balanced. Now multiplying oxidation reaction by 3 and then adding both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

Oxidation : $3Sb^{3+}\rightarrow 3Sb^{5+}+6e^-$

Reduction : $BrO_3^-+6H^++6e^-\rightarrow Br^-+3H_2O$

The balanced chemical equation in acidic medium will be,

$BrO_3^-(aq)+6H^+(aq)+3Sb^{3+}(aq)\rightarrow Br^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+3Sb^{5+}(aq)$

The sum of the coefficients = 1 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 3

The sum of the coefficients = 17

Could someone explain how they got this answer, explain step by step plz

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

6.018 amu

Explanation:

Let 6–Li be isotope A.

Let 7–Li be isotope B.

Let the abundance of 6–Li be A%

Let the abundance of 7–Li be B%

The following data were obtained from the question:

Atomic mass of isotope A (6–Li) =.?

Atomic mass of isotope B (7–Li ) = 7.015 amu.

Abundance of 7–Li (B%) = 92.58%

Abundance of 6–Li (A%) = 100 – B% = 100 – 92.58 = 7.42%

Atomic mass of Lithium = 6.941amu

The atomic mass of isotope A (6–Li) can be obtained as follow:

Atomic mass = [(Mass of A x A%)/100] + [(Mass of B x B%)/100]

6.941 = [(mass of A x 7.42)/100] + [(7.015x92.58)/100]

6.941 = [(mass of A x 7.42)/100] + 6.494487

(mass of A x 7.42)/100 = 6.941 – 6.494487

(mass of A x 7.42)/100 = 0.446513

Mass of A x 7.42 = 100 x 0.446513

Mass of A x 7.42 = 44.6513

Divide both side by 7.42

Mass of A = 44.6513 / 7.42

Mass of A = 6.018 amu

Therefore, the mass of 6–Li is 6.018 amu

How many moles of oxygen are formed when 58.6 g of KNO3 decomposes according to the following reaction? 4 KNO3(s) → 2 K2O(s) + 2

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

0.725 mol

Explanation:

Moles are calculated as the given mass divided by the molecular mass.

i.e. ,

moles = ( mass / molecular mass )

since,

mass of KNO₃ = 58.6 g ( given )

Molecular mass of KNO₃ = 101 g / mol

Therefore,

moles of KNO₃ = 58.6 g / 101 g / mol

moles of KNO₃ = 0.58 mol

From the balanced reaction ,

4 KNO₃ (s) ---> 2K₂O (s) + 2N₂ (g) + 5O₂ (g)

By the decomposition of 4 mol of KNO₃ , 5 mol of O₂ are formed ,

hence, unitary method is used as,

1 mol of KNO₃ gives 5 / 4 mol O₂

Therefore,

0.58 mol of KNO₃ , gives , 5 / 4 * 0.58 mol of O₂

Solving,

0.58 mol of KNO₃ , gives , 0.725 mol of O₂

Therefore,

58.6g of KNO₃ gives 0.725 mol of O₂.
