What is the total ionic equation for the following reaction?

schepotkina [342]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An equation in which electrolytes are represented in the form of ions is known as an ionic equation.

Strong electrolytes easily dissociate into their corresponding ions. Hence, they form ionic equation.

$H_{2}CrO_{4}$ is a strong acid and $Ba(OH)_{2}$ is a strong bases, therefore, both of them will dissociate into ions.

Thus, total ionic equation will be as follows.

$2H^{+} + CrO_{4}^{-} + Ba^{2+} + 2OH^{-} \rightarrow Ba^{2+} + CrO_{4}^{-} + 2H_{2}O$

A 2.87 g sample of carbon reacts with hydrogen to form 3.41 g of car fuel. What is the empirical formula for the car fuel?

olga_2 [115]

CH₇ is the empirical formula of the car fuel.

Explanation:

To find the empirical formula we use the following algorithm.

First divide each mass the the molar weight of each element:

for carbon 2.87 / 12 = 0.239

for hydrogen 3.41 / 2 = 1.705

And now divide each quantity by the lowest number which is 0.239:

for carbon 0.239 / 0.239 = 1

for hydrogen 1.705 / 0.239 = 7.13 ≈ 7

The empirical formula of the car fuel is CH₇.

I have to tell you that in reality this formula is wrong because is not possible to exist. However the algorithm for finding the empirical formula is right, the problem may reside in the amounts of carbon and hydrogen given.

What type of compound does the formula, CuCl2, represent?<br> a. ionic salt<br> b. covalent molecule

Rainbow [258]

The answer is: [B]: "ionic salt" .
___________________________________________________
Note: There is no "sharing of electrons" among the elements in this compound; so this compound in NOT a "covalent molecule".

However, there is ionic bonding: Cu²⁺ and Cl⁻ ; to form: "CuCl₂" .

Write a balanced equation for the complete oxidation reaction that occurs when methane (CH4) burns in air.

Lelechka [254]

Answer: The balanced equation for the complete oxidation reaction that occurs when methane (CH4) burns in air is $CH_{4} + 2O_{2} \rightarrow CO_{2} + 2H_{2}O$ .

Explanation:

When a substance tends to gain oxygen atom in a chemical reaction and loses hydrogen atom then it is called oxidation reaction.

For example, chemical equation for oxidation of methane is as follows.

$CH_{4} + O_{2} \rightarrow CO_{2} + H_{2}O$

Number of atoms present on reactant side are as follows.

C = 1
H = 4
O = 2

Number of atoms present on product side are as follows.

C = 1
H = 2
O = 3

To balance this equation, multiply $O_{2}$ by 2 on reactant side. Also, multiply $H_{2}O$ by 2 on product side. Hence, the equation can be rewritten as follows.

$CH_{4} + 2O_{2} \rightarrow CO_{2} + 2H_{2}O$

Now, the number of atoms present on reactant side are as follows.

C = 1
H = 4
O = 4

Number of atoms present on product side are as follows.

C = 1
H = 4
O = 4

Since, the atoms present on both reactant and product side are equal. Therefore, this equation is now balanced.

Thus, we can conclude that balanced equation for the complete oxidation reaction that occurs when methane (CH4) burns in air is $CH_{4} + 2O_{2} \rightarrow CO_{2} + 2H_{2}O$ .
