B. This is because the Hydrogen and Oxygen need balanced out.

Current-

C-1            |        C-1
H-4            |         H-2
O-2            |         O-3


Adding a coefficient of 2 before oxygen in the reactants and H2O in the products would balance this equation

<span>CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O</span>
C-1            |        C-1
H-4            |         H-4
O-4            |        O-4

The reaction for the formation of gaseous hydrogen fluoride (HF) from molecular hydrogen (H2) and fluorine (F2) has an equilibri
mestny [16]

Answer:

[H2]eq = 0.0129 M

[F2]eq = 1.0129 M

[HF]eq = 0.9871 M

Explanation:

  • H2(g) + F2(g) ↔ 2HF(g)

∴ Ke = [HF]² / [H2]*[F2] = 1.15 E2

experiment:

∴ n H2 = 3.00 mol

∴ n F2 = 6.00 mol

∴ V sln = 3.00 L

⇒ [H2]i = 3.00 mol / 3.00 L = 1 M

⇒ [F2]i = 6.00 mol / 3.00 L = 2 M

        [ ]i    change      [ ]eq

H2     1         1 - x         1 - x

F2     2        2 - x         2 - x

HF     -            x              x

⇒ K = (x)² / (1 - x)*(2 - x) = 1.15 E2

⇒ x² / (2 - 3x + x²) = 1.15 E2 = 115

⇒ x² = (2 - 3x + x²)(115)

⇒ x² = 230 - 345x + 115x²

⇒ 0 = 230 - 345x + 114x²

⇒ x = 0.9871

equilibrium:

⇒ [H2] = 1 - x = 1 - 0.9871 = 0.0129 M

⇒ [F2] = 2 - x = 2 - 0.9871 = 1.0129 M

⇒ [HF] = x = 0.9871 M

For which of the following reactions is S° &gt; 0. Choose all that apply. N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) 2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) 4CO2(g) + 6H2
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer: 2C_2H_6(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)

NH_4I(s)\rightarrow NH_3(g)+HI(g)

2H_2O(g)+2SO_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system.

A system has positive value of entropy if the disorder increases and a system has negative value of entropy if the disorder decreases.

1. N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3(g)

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants are changing to 2 moles of gaseous products,  the randomness is decreasing and the entropy is negative

2. 2C_2H_6(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)

As 9 moles of gaseous reactants are changing to 10 moles of gaseous products,  the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive.

3. NH_4I(s)\rightarrow NH_3(g)+HI(g)

As 1 mole of solid reactants is changing to 2 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive.

4. 2H_2O(g)+2SO_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants is changing to 5 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive

5. 2NO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2H_2O(l)

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants is changing to 1 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is decreasing and the entropy is negative.

Fill in the coefficients that will balance the following reaction:
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

To balance a reaction, the amount of reactants must be equal to the amount of products, as stated by the Law of Conservation of Matter. It may help you to keep track of  the number of each element in a list as you try to balance. It's not able to be balanced.
