HClO4+P4O10=H3PO4+Cl2O7 how do you balance this?

12 HClO₄ + 1 P₄O₁₀ → 4 H₃PO₄ + 6 Cl₂O₇

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Balance by the conservation of atoms.

Assign coefficient <em>1 </em>to the species with the largest number of elements and atoms. H₃PO₄ contains three elements. Each of its molecule contains eight atoms, that's two more than the six atoms in a HClO₄ molecule. Start by assigning H₃PO₄ a coefficient of <em>1</em>.

? HClO₄ + ? P₄O₁₀ → <em>1</em> H₃PO₄ + ? Cl₂O₇

There are now three H atoms, one P atom on the product side. H₃PO₄ is the only product that contains H and P atoms. As a result, there should be the same number of H and P atoms on the reactant side.

  • Among all reactants, only HClO₄ contains H atoms. Each HClO₄ molecule contains one H atom. Three H atoms correspond to three HClO₄ molecule.
  • Among all reactants, only P₄O₁₀ contains P atoms. Each P₄O₁₀ molecule contains four P atoms. One P atom corresponds to 1/4 of a P₄O₁₀ molecule.

Thus

<em>3</em> HClO₄ + <em>1/4</em> P₄O₁₀ → <em>1</em> H₃PO₄ + ? Cl₂O₇

There are three Cl atoms in three HClO₄ molecules. HClO₄ is the only species that contains Cl among all reactants. There are three Cl atoms on the reactant side and shall be the same number of Cl atoms on the product side.

  • Cl₂O₇ is the only molecule that contains Cl among the products. Each Cl₂O₇ molecule contains two Cl atoms. Three Cl atoms will correspond to 3/2 Cl₂O₇ molecules.

<em>3</em> HClO₄ + <em>1/4</em> P₄O₁₀ → <em>1</em> H₃PO₄ + <em>3/2</em> Cl₂O₇

Multiply both sides by the least common multiple of the denominators to eliminate the fraction. The least common multiple in this case is four.  

12 HClO₄ + 1 P₄O₁₀ → 4 H₃PO₄ + 6 Cl₂O₇

g If 50.0 mL of a 0.75 M acetic acid solution is titrated with 1.0 M sodium hydroxide, what is the pH after 10.0 mL of NaOH have
V125BC [204]

Answer:

pH = 2.66

Explanation:

  • Acetic Acid + NaOH → Sodium Acetate + H₂O

First we <u>calculate the number of moles of each reactant</u>, using the <em>given volumes and concentrations</em>:

  • 0.75 M Acetic acid * 50.0 mL = 37.5 mmol acetic acid
  • 1.0 M NaOH * 10.0 mL = 10 mmol NaOH

We<u> calculate how many acetic acid moles remain after the reaction</u>:

  • 37.5 mmol - 10 mmol = 27.5 mmol acetic acid

We now <u>calculate the molar concentration of acetic acid after the reaction</u>:

27.5 mmol / (50.0 mL + 10.0 mL) = 0.458 M

Then we <u>calculate [H⁺]</u>, using the<em> following formula for weak acid solutions</em>:

  • [H⁺] = \sqrt{C*Ka}=\sqrt{0.458M*1.76x10^{-5}}
  • [H⁺] = 0.0028

Finally we <u>calculate the pH</u>:

  • pH = -log[H⁺]
  • pH = 2.66

How are Kelvin scale and celcius scale similar <br>​
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The Kelvin scale is related to the Celsius scale. The difference between the freezing and boiling points of water is 100 degrees in each, so that the kelvin has the same magnitude as the degree Celsius.

Explanation:

Celsius is, or relates to, the Celsius temperature scale (previously known as the centigrade scale). The degree Celsius (symbol: °C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale as well as serve as a unit increment to indicate a temperature interval(a difference between two temperatures or an uncertainty). “Celsius” is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius (1701-1744), who developed a similar temperature scale two years before his death.

K = °C + 273.15

°C = K − 273.15

Until 1954, 0 °C on the Celsius scale was defined as the melting point of ice and 100 °C was defined as the boiling point of water under a pressure of one standard atmosphere; this close equivalence is taught in schools today. However, the unit “degree Celsius” and the Celsius scale are currently, by international agreement, defined by two different points: absolute zero, and the triple point of specially prepared water. This definition also precisely relates the Celsius scale to the Kelvin scale, which is the SI base unit of temperature (symbol: K). Absolute zero—the temperature at which nothing could be colder and no heat energy remains in a substance—is defined as being precisely 0 K and −273.15 °C. The triple point of water is defined as being precisely 273.16 K and 0.01 °C.

Alkynes have what in<br> common with alkenes ?
jonny [76]

Answer:

Alkanes, alkenes and alkynes are simple hydrocarbon chains with no functional groups. Alkanes are identified because the carbon chain has only single bonds. Alkenes have at least one double bond and alkynes have at least one triple bond. The most common alkyne is ethyne, better known as acetylene.
