In order to balance an equation, we apply the principle of conservation of mass, which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Therefore, the mass of an element before and after a reaction remains constant. Here, the balanced equation becomes:
4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃
The coefficients are 4, 3 and 2.
Answer:
a) yes, it was an hydrate
b) the number of waters of hydration, x = 6
Explanation:
a) yes it was an hydrate because the mass decreased after the process of dehydration which means removal of water thus some water molecules were present in the sample.
b) NiCl2. xH2O
mass if dehydrated NiCl2 = 2.3921 grams
mass of water in the hydrated sample = mass of hydrated - mass of dehydrated = 4.3872 - 2.3921 = 1.9951 g which represent the mass of water that was present in the hydrated sample.
NiCl2.xH2O
mole of dehydrated NiCl2 = m/Mm = 2.3921/129.5994 = 0.01846 mole
mole of water = m/Mm = 1.9951/18.02 = 0.11072 mole
Divide both by the smallest number of mole (which is for NiCl2) to find the coefficient of each
for NiCl2 = 0.01846/0.01846 = 1
for H2O = 0.11072/0.01846 = 5.9976 = 6
thus the hydrated sample was NiCl2. 6H2O
In dilution we add distilled water to decrease the concentration of required sample from high concentration to lower concentration
The law used for dilution:
M₁V₁]Before dilution = M₂V₂] After dilution
M₁ = 1.5 M
V₁ = ?
M₂ = 0.3 M
V₂ = 500 ml
1.5 * V₁ = 0.3 * 500 ml
so V₁ = 100 ml and it completed to 500 ml using 400 ml deionized water
Answer:
(a) Pair 1: H₂S and HS⁻
Pair 2: NH₃ and NH₄⁺
(b) Pair 1: HSO₄⁻ and SO₄⁻
Pair 2: NH₃ and NH₄⁺
(c) Pair 1: HBr and Br⁻
Pair 2: CH₃O⁻ and CH₃OH
(d) Pair 1: HNO₃ and NO₃⁻
Pair 2: H₃O⁺
Explanation:
When an acid loses its proton (H⁺), a conjugate base is produced.
When a base accepts a proton (H⁺), it forms a conjugate acid.
(a) H₂S is an acid. When it loses a proton, it forms the conjugate base HS⁻.
NH₃ is a base. When NH₃ gains a proton, it forms the conjugate acid NH₄⁺
(b) The acid HSO₄⁻ loses a H⁺ ion and forms the conjugate base SO₄²⁻.
The base NH₃ accepts a H⁺ ion to form the conjugate acid NH₄⁺.
(c) HBr is an acid. When loses the H⁺ ion, it forms the conjugate base Br⁻.
CH₃O⁻ accepts a H⁺ ion to form the conjugate acid CH₃OH.
(d) HNO₃ loses a proton to form the conjugate base NO₃⁻.
H₂O gains a proton to form the conjugate acid H₃O⁺.
