Why does SO2 and water make H2SO3 and NOT H2SO4? Explain your answer.

Chemistry

Vlada [557]3 years ago

This is because the law of conservation of mass will not be followed if, from SO2 and water, sulfuric acid is formed. Making a balanced chemical reaction is not possible no matter what. To obtain sulfuric acid, SO2 still needs to be oxidized further to SO3.

In the reaction 3H2 + N2 → ____ NH3, what coefficient should be placed in front of NH3 to balance the reaction?
zubka84 [21]
2. 3H2 + N2 means you have 6 Hs and 2 Ns. NH3 has one N and 3 Hs, so you need 2 NH3s in order to have the 2 and 6 of each that you need on both sides of the reaction.

Calculate the mass of sodium phosphate in aqueous solution to fully react with 37 g of chromium nitrate(III) an aqueous solution
Alla [95]

Answer:

41 g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is;

Cr(NO3)3(aq)+Na3PO4(aq)=3NaNO3(s)+CrPO4(aq)

Number of moles of chromium nitrate = 37g/ 146.97 g/mol = 0.25 moles

1 mole of sodium phosphate reacts with 1 mole of chromium nitrate

x moles of sodium phosphate react as with 0.25 moles of chromium nitrate

x= 1 × 0.25/1

x= 0.25 moles

Mass of sodium phosphate = 0.25 moles × 163.94 g/mol

Mass of sodium phosphate = 41 g

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: D. Mutation in coding sequences are more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations in noncoding sequences.

Explanation: It was not likely to be that the coding sequences are replicated more often. The only possible explanation is that the mutations in coding is more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations because it is in a non coding sequence.
