How do you balance this chemical equation?

1 answer:

6 0

Ba(ClO3)2 --> BaCl2 + 3 O2

The fact that there are some ionic compounds doesn't matter. Just use the formulas.
barium chlorate = Ba(ClO3)2
barium chloride = BaCl2
Oxygen = O2

Now create the unbalanced equation
Ba(ClO3)2 --> BaCl2 + O2

And balance in the usual fashion. Count the atoms of each element on both sides
Ba = 1, 1
Cl = 2, 2
O = 6, 2

And oxygen is out of balance. But can be easily handled with a 3 coefficient on the right hand side. So:
Ba(ClO3)2 --> BaCl2 + 3 O2

And we have a balanced equation.

Electrolytic cells use electricity to cause a nonspontaneous redox reaction to occur. An electrolytic cell is constructed using

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

At anode - ${Br_2}_{(l)}$

At cathode - ${H_2}_{(g)}$

Explanation:

Electrolysis of NaBr:

Water will exist as:

$H_2O\rightleftharpoons H^++OH^-$

The salt, NaBr will dissociate as:

$NaBr\rightarrow Na^++Br^-$

At the anode, oxidation takes place, as shown below.

${Br^-}_{(aq)}\rightarrow {Br_2}_{(l)}+2e^-$

At the cathode, reduction takes place, as shown below.

$2{H^+}_{(aq)}+2e^-\rightarrow {H_2}_{(g)}$

If m = 45g and V = 15ml, what is D in g/ml?

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

3 g/mL

Explanation:

We know that the density of an object can be measured by dividing its mass (g) to its volume (mL).

Formula

D=m/v

Given data:

Mass= 45 g

Volume= 15 mL

Now we will put the values in formula:

D=45 g/ 15 mL= 3 g/mL

At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure acetic acid HCH3CO2 is measured to be 226.torr. Suppose a solution is prepar

Rudiy27

Answer:

The partial pressure of acetic acid is 73.5 torr

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Total pressure is 226 torr

mass of acetic acid = 126 grams

mass of methanol = 141 grams

Step 2: Calculate moles of acetic acid

moles acetic acid = mass acetic acid / molar mass acetic acid

moles acetic acid = 127 grams / 60.05 g/mol

moles acetic acid = 2.115 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of methanol

moles methanol = 141 grams / 32.04 g/mol

moles methanol = 4.40 moles

Step 4: Calculate total moles

Total moles = moles of acetic acid + moles methanol

Total moles = 2.115 moles + 4.40 moles

Total moles = 6.515 moles

Step 5: Calculate mole fraction of acetic acid

2.115 moles / 6.515 moles = 0.325

Step 6: Calculate partial pressure of acetic acid

P(acetic acid) = 0.325 * 226

P(acetic acid) = 73.45 torr ≈73.5

We can control this by calculating the partial pressure of methanol

mole fraction of methanol = (6.515-2.115)/6.515 = 0.675

P(methanol) = 0.675 * 226 = 152.55

226 - 152.55 = 73.45 torr

The partial pressure of acetic acid is 73.5 torr

A geometric isomer with two alkyl groups on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond is called

grandymaker [24]

Answer:
A geometric isomer with two alkyl groups on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond is called cis Isomer.

Explanation:
Geometric isomerism takes place about the double bond in alkenes when the alkyl groups are either situated at the same side (cis) or are situated opposite (trans) to each other.

Example:
cis-2-Butene (highlighted red)

trans-2-Butene (highlighted blue)
