Answer:
mass of HCl = 243.5426 grams

Explanation:
1- we will get the mass of the reacting gold:
volume of gold = length * width * height
volume of gold = 3.2 * 3.8 * 2.8 = 34.048 cm^3 = 34.048 ml<span>
density = mass / volume
Therefore:
mass = density * volume
mass of gold = </span>19.3 * 34.048 = 657.1264 grams

2- we will get the number of moles of the reacting gold:
number of moles = mass / molar mass
number of moles = 657.1264 / 196.96657 
number of moles = 3.3362 moles

3- we will get the number of moles of the HCl:
First, we will balanced the given equation. The balanced equation will be as follows:
Au + 2HCl ......> AuCl2 + H2
This means that one mole of Au reacts with 2 moles of HCl.
Therefore 3.3362 moles will react with 2*3.3362 = 6.6724 moles of HCL

4- we will get the mass of the HCl:
From the periodic table:
molar mass of H = 1 gram
molar mass of Cl = 35.5 grams
Therefore:
molar mass of HCl = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 grams/mole
number of moles = mass / molar mass
Therefore:
mass = number of moles * molar mass
mass of HCl = 6.6724 * 36.5
mass of HCl = 243.5426 grams

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Explanation:

The absorbed sunlight drives photosynthesis, fuels evaporation, melts snow and ice, and warms the Earth system. Solar power drives Earth's climate. Energy from the Sun heats the surface, warms the atmosphere, and powers the ocean currents.

Silicon Tetrachloride is reacted with very pure magnesium, producing silicon and magnesium chloride. (What would be the unbalanc
raketka [301]
Pure magnesium's formula would just be Mg because all elements except for 7 nonmetals are just left alone when they are by themselves in a formula. The 7 diatomic elements( means they have to have two of them without another element attached to it aka. a subscript two after it when it's by itself) are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. An easy way to remember the diatomic seven is that when looking at a periodic table if you trace over them from nitrogen over to fluorine and down to iodine all of those elements are diatomic + hydrogen. 

And your unbalanced and balanced equations are correct.

(sorry I went on a tangent with the diatomic rules hopefully it will help you in the future though)
