Aqueous solutions of barium nitrate and potassium phosphate are mixed. What is the precipitate and how many molecules are formed?

Barium nitrate has a chemical symbol of Ba(NO3)2 and potassium phosphate has a chemical symbol K2PO4. The reaction between these two is a double replacement reaction yielding barium phosphate and potassium nitrate.

The chemical equation representing the reaction is,

            Ba(NO3)2 + K2PO4 à KNO3 + BaPO4

Answer: The precipitate is Ba_3(PO_4)_2 and 1 molecule of Barium phosphate and 6 molecules of Potassium nitrate is formed.

Explanation: We are given Barium nitrate and Potassium phosphate , that will lead to the formation of Barium phosphate and Potassium nitrate.

As we know that these solutions are present in water, therefore we will obtain Barium phosphate as a precipitate because Barium phosphate is insoluble in water and Potassium nitrate is soluble in water. Thus the reaction is

Ba(NO_3)_2(aq.)+K_3PO_4(aq.)\rightarrow Ba_3(PO_4)_2(ppt.)+KNO_3(aq.)

To know how many molecules are formed at the end, we need to balance the above equation.

Balancing the equation, we get:

3Ba(NO_3)_2(aq.)+2K_3PO_4(aq.)\rightarrow Ba_3(PO_4)_2(ppt.)+6KNO_3(aq.)

Thus, we get 1 molecule of Barium phosphate as a precipitate and 6 molecules of Potassium nitrate which is easily soluble in water.

Please help me is my final 2. Which of the following is a fission reaction?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Uranium-235 absorbing a neutron and breaking into Barium-141,  Krypton-92 and three neutrons

Explanation:

A fission reaction is said to have occurred when an unstable nucleus is bombarded with a neutron such that it disintegrates into daughter nuclei and produces more neutrons in the process. Hence, Uranium-235 absorbing a neutron and breaking into Barium-141,  Krypton-92 and three neutrons is a fission reaction.

This fission reaction is often a self sustaining reaction. The neutrons produced in the reaction bombards more of the parent nucleus and the process continues indefinitely(chain reaction).

Control rods and moderators are used to keep the chain reaction in check.

Describe the major advantages and disadvantages of asexual and sexual reproduction.
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Allows for a quick "doubling of population because they skip pollination and fertilisation. There is less energy required for asexual reproduction. Large colonies can form that out complete the other organisms for nutrients and water. ... Sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation in new generations of offspring.

Which of the following is a characteristic of nonmetals?
stellarik [79]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Non-metals are the species which in order to complete their octet readily gain an electron.

For example, fluorine is a non-metal with atomic number 9 and its electronic distribution is 2, 7.

Hence, to attain stability it readily accepts an electron from a donor atom.

Some characteristics of non-metals are as follows.

Non-metals do not conduct electricity.

Non-metals are brittle in nature and they have a rough surface.

Non-metals are not malleable or ductile.

Thus, we can conclude that non-metals do not conduct electricity is a characteristic of non-metals.

Write each element and elements of atoms of the compound Na2PO3F
Rudik [331]

The subscripts tell you <em>how many atoms</em> of an element are in one formula unit of a compound.

If there is no subscript, there is only one atom of the element.

In one formula unit of Na₂PO₃F, there are

Two atoms of sodium (Na)

One atom of phosphorus (P)

Three atoms of oxygen (O)

One atom of fluorine (F)
