A decomposition reaction occurs when one reactant breaks down into two or more products. It can be represented by the general equation:

AB → A + B
In this equation, AB represents the reactant that begins the reaction, and A and B represent the products of the reaction. The arrow shows the direction in which the reaction occurs.

Gnesinka [82]

Answer :  The balanced chemical reaction will be:

HBrO_4(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_3O^+(aq)+BrO_4^-(aq)

Explanation:

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

As we know that perbromic acid is considered a strong acid that means it will completely dissociate in water.

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

HBrO_4(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_3O^+(aq)+BrO_4^-(aq)

To identify a diatomic gas (X2), a researcher carried out the following experiment: She weighed an empty 2.2-L bulb, then filled
Ber [7]

Answer:

N2

Explanation:

We use the ideal gas equation to calculate the number of moles of the diatomic gas. Then from the number of moles we can get

Given:

P = 2atm

1atm = 101,325pa

2atm = 202,650pa

T = 27 degrees Celsius = 27 + 273.15 = 300.15K

V = 2.2L

R = molar gas constant = 8314.46 L.Pa/molK

PV = nRT

Rearranging n = PV/RT

Substituting these values will yield:

n = (202,650 * 2.2)/(8314.46* 300.15)

n = 0.18 moles

To get the molar mass, we simply divide the mass by the number of moles.

5.1/0.18 = 28.5g/mol

This is the closest to the molar mass of diatomic nitrogen N2.

Hence, the gas is nitrogen gas
