Answer:

I⁻ (aq) and Na⁺ (aq)

Explanation:

We have the chemical reaction:

BaI₂ + Na₂SO₄ → BaSO₄ + 2 NaI

However if you want to determine the spectator ions you need to write the states of compounds:

(aq) - ions dissolved in water

(s) - solid

Ba²⁺ (aq) + 2 I⁻ (aq) + 2 Na⁺ (aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq) → BaSO₄ (s) + 2 Na⁺ (aq) + 2 I⁻ (aq)

The ions which does not change the state and remains dissolved in the solution are spectator ions. For our chemical reaction we have the following spectator ions:

I⁻ (aq) and Na⁺ (aq)

Consider the reaction PCl5(g) ⇌ PCl3(g) + Cl2(g). If 0.02 moles of PCl5, 0.04 moles of PCl3, and 0.08 moles of Cl2 are combined

Furkat [3]

Answer:

The reaction quotient (Q) before the reaction is 0.32

Explanation:

Being the reaction:

aA + bB ⇔ cC + dD

$Q=\frac{[C]^{c} *[D]^{d} }{[A]^{a}*[B]^{b} }$

where Q is the so-called reaction quotient and the concentrations expressed in it are not those of the equilibrium but those of the different reagents and products at a certain instant of the reaction.

The concentration will be calculated by:

$Concentration=\frac{number of moles of solute}{Volume}$

You know the reaction:

PCl₅ (g) ⇌ PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g).

So:

$Q=\frac{[PCl_{3} ] *[Cl_{2} ] }{[PCl_{5} ]}$

The concentrations are:

[PCl₃]= $\frac{0.04 moles}{0.5 L} =0.08 \frac{moles}{L}$

[Cl₂]= $\frac{0.08 moles}{0.5 L} =0.16 \frac{moles}{L}$

[PCl₅]= $\frac{0.02 moles}{0.5 L} =0.04 \frac{moles}{L}$

Replacing:

$Q=\frac{0.08*0.16}{0.04}$

Solving:

Q= 0.32

The reaction quotient (Q) before the reaction is 0.32

How does an indicator differentiate between an acid and base?

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

that is all I know sorry hope that may help you :)

Explanation:

Indicator is a substance which shows different colors in acidic and basic medium. Indicators can be natural (derived from natural sources) or artificial ( man-made) for example :

*Litmus is an indicator. Acid turns blue litmus into red while base turns red litmus into blue

* Turmeric solution does not show change in color (remains yellow) in acidic solution and turns red in basic solution.

Stoichiometric calculations are based on balanced chemical equations. the reason that chemical equations must always be balanced

Roman55 [17]

Answer: Chemical equations are balanced in order to: 1) satisfy the Law of Conservation of Mass, and 2) establish the mole relationships needed for stoichiometric calculations. The Law of Conservation of Mass: The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed.
