Balancing Chemical Equation<br> Na+Br2=NaBr

solniwko [45]

Answer:

2Na + Br2 = 2NaBr

Explanation:

In order to balance a chemical equation you make the make sure both sides have the same number of atoms on each side, you do this by multiplying on both sides as if it was a algebraic equation.

Na+ Br2 = NaBr

Na × 2 = Na2

Br × 2 = Br2

2Na + Br2 = 2NaBr

Hope this helps.

The solubility of magnesium phosphate at a given temperature is 0.173 g/L. Calculate the Ksp at this temperature. After you calc

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: $K_{sp}=1.25\times 10^{-14}$

$pK_{sp}=13.90$

Explanation:

Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as $K_{sp}$

The equation for the ionization of magnesium phosphate is given as:

$Mg_3(PO_4)_2\rightarrow 3Mg^{2+}+2PO_4^{3-}$

When the solubility of $Mg_3(PO_4)_2$ is S moles/liter, then the solubility of $Mg^{2+}$ will be 3S moles\liter and solubility of $PO_4^{3-}$ will be 2S moles/liter.

Thus S = 0.173 g/L or $\frac{0.173g/L}{262.8g/mol}=0.00065mol/L$

$K_{sp}=(3S)^3\times (2S)^2$

$K_{sp}=108S^5$

$K_{sp}=108\times (0.00065)^5=1.25\times 10^{-14}$

$pK_{sp}=-log(K_{sp})=\log (1.25\times 10^{-14})=13.90$

A. Calculate the empirical formula of a molecule with percent compositions: 55.3% potassium (K), 14.6% phosphorus (P), and 30.1%

Otrada [13]

The way you calculate the empirical formula is to firstly assume 100g. To find each elements moles you take each elements percentage listed, times it by one mole and divide it by its atomic mass. (ex: moles of K =55.3g x 1 mole/39.1g, therefore there is 1.41432225 moles of Potassium) Once you’ve completed this for every element you list each elements symbol beside it’s number of moles and divide by the smallest number because it can only go into its self once. After you’ve done this, you’ve found your empirical formula, which is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound. I’ve added an example of a empirical question I completed last semester :)

siniylev [52]

Gas x would be carbon dioxide.

note/ acid + carbonate —> salt + water + carbon dioxide

the white precipitate would be calcium carbonate. CaCo₃

note/ this is a common eqn u need to remember.

X - CO₂ (carbón dioxide)
Y - CaCo₃ (calcium carbonate)

sodium carbonate is a basic salt

How is the electron cloud model different from Bohr's atomic model?

Cerrena [4.2K]

In the electron cloud model, the atoms are in unpredicted places. But in the Bohr model, atoms are in "rows"
