Hi, someone knows how to balance the following equation, and if you can thank you if you can explain how that is done:

To begin with, the equation given is not correct.
Correct equation is : CaCO3 + HCl ---> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
It's CaCl2 not CaCl because Ca has a valency of 2 

    LHS                          RHS
CaCO3 + HCl ---> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
First of all, to balance the equation you must look at the number of atoms on each side of the equation. 
we have 2 H on the RHS and 1 H on the LHS. So, we put a 2 on the LHS

CaCO3 + 2HCl ---> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
Check for the LHS: 1 Ca, 1 C, 3 O, 2 H & 2 Cl on the LHS
Now check for the RHS: 1 Ca, 2 Cl, 2 H, 1 C & 3 O

Hope it helped!

A sample of oxygen gas in one container has a volume of 20.0mililiter at 297 K and 101.3 kPa. The entire sample is transferred t
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer: V_2=\frac{101.3kPa\times 20.0ml\times 283K}{297K\times 94.6kPa}

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,:

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

V_2=\frac{P_1V_1T_2}{T_1P_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 101.3 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 94.6 kPa

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 20.0 ml

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 297K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 283K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get the final volume of gas.

V_2=\frac{101.3kPa\times 20.0ml\times 283K}{297K\times 94.6kPa}

V_2=20.4ml

Thus the correct numerical setup for calculating the new volume is \frac{101.3kPa\times 20.0ml\times 283K}{297K\times 94.6kPa}

The nature of zinc powder and Cobalt (II )oxide is heated the following reaction occurs ;
Scilla [17]

1) The metal which reduces the other compound is the one higher in the reactivity. So in this case it is \mathrm{Zn}.

2) The substance which brings about reduction while itself getting oxidised (that is losing electrons) is called a reducing agent. Here, $\mathrm{Zn}$ is the reducing agent and reduces Cobalt Oxide to Cobalt while itself getting oxidised to Zinc oxide.

In an experiment to determine if the height of a cake is determined by the temperature at which is cooked, measuring the height
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

  • <u>Dependent variable</u>

Explanation:

In a controlled <em>experiment </em>there will be one independent variable, one dependent variable, and some controlled or constant parameters.

The target of the expermiment is to tes how the dependent variable changes with the independent variable.

So, the scientist will change (manipulate) the independent variable and measure the dependent vabiales.

Here, the temperature will be manipulated (within a range), so this is the independent variable; the height of the cake is the variable whose behavior wants to be determined, so this is the dependent variable. Controlled variables or constants may include the mixture, the size of the pan, the time of cooking, the oven, among others.
