Answer:
Explanation:
Chemical equation:
FeCl₃ + NaOH → Fe(OH)₃ + NaCl
Balanced chemical equation:
FeCl₃ + 3NaOH → Fe(OH)₃ + 3NaCl
Step 1:
FeCl₃ + NaOH → Fe(OH)₃ + NaCl
Fe = 1 Fe = 1
Cl = 3 Cl = 1
Na = 1 Na = 1
OH = 1 OH = 3
Step 2:
FeCl₃ + 3NaOH → Fe(OH)₃ + NaCl
Fe = 1 Fe = 1
Cl = 3 Cl = 1
Na = 3 Na = 1
OH = 3 OH = 3
Step 3:
FeCl₃ + 3NaOH → Fe(OH)₃ + 3NaCl
Fe = 1 Fe = 1
Cl = 3 Cl = 3
Na = 3 Na = 3
OH = 3 OH = 3
Now we the equation is completely balanced and follow the law of conservation of mass because there are equal number of atoms of each elements are present on both side.
According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.
This law was given by french chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction
.
Type of reaction:
It is double displacement reaction.
Double replacement:
It is the reaction in which two compound exchange their ions and form new compounds.
AB + CD → AC +BD
The answer would have to be d because heat rises
Answer:
The correct answer is 0.67 g H₂
Explanation:
Isopropyl alcohol (C₃H₇OH) can decompose to give acetone (C₂H₆OH) and hydrogen gas (H₂) according to the following chemical equation:
C₃H₇OH (g) ⇒ C₂H₆CO(g) + H₂(g)
We can calculate the initial mass of isopropyl alcohol from the density and volume data:
density = m/V = 0.785 g/mL
⇒ m = density x V = 0.785 g/mL x 25.6 mL = 20.096 g C₃H₇OH
According to the chemical equation 1 mol of C₃H₇OH gives 1 mol H₂. The molar mass of C₃H₇OH is:
molar mass C₃H₇OH = (12 g/mol x 3) + (1 g/mol x 7) + 16 g/mol + 1 g/mol = 60 g/mol
molar mass H₂ = 1 g/mol x 2 = 2 g/mol
So, we obtain: 2 g H₂ from 60 g C₃H₇OH. We multiply this stoichiometric ratio (2 g H₂/60 g C₃H₇OH) by the initial mass of C₃H₇OH to obtain the mass of H₂ is formed:
20.096 g C₃H₇OH x (2 g H₂/60 g C₃H₇OH) = 0.6698 g ≅ 0.67 g H₂
