What is the balanced net precipitation reaction for BaCl2 and KOH?

1 answer:

7 0

BaCl2 reacts with KOH forming KCl which is a salt and Ba(OH)2 which is the precipitate.
The initial UNBALANCED equation expressing this reaction would be:
BaCl2 + KOH .............> KCl + Ba(OH)2
Now, we need to balance this equation:
we have two moles of Cl as reactants and one mole only as product. Therefore, we will multiply the KCl in the product by 2 and the KOH in the reactants by 2.
This will balance the equation as follows:
BaCl2 + 2KOH ......> 2KCl + Ba(OH)2

Noticing this equation, we will find that:
The precipitate was formed due to the combination of the Ba2+ ion with 2 OH- ions as follows:
Ba2+ + OH- ............> Ba(OH)2

Batteries work by letting charged ions flow through an electrolyte solution.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

Batteries work by letting charged ions flow through an electrolyte solution.

A battery is a device that consists of one or more electrochemical cells that can convert stored chemical energy into electrical current. Each cell consists of a positive electrode, or anode, a negative electrode, or cathode, and electrolytes that allow ions to move between the electrodes, allowing current to flow out of the battery to carry out its function.

Explanation:

Its operation is essentially based on a reversible chemical process called reduction-oxidation, in which one of the components is oxidized and the other is reduced; that is, a process whose components are neither consumed nor lost, but merely change their oxidation state, and which in turn can return to their original state under the right circumstances.

Calculate ΔHo for the following reaction ussing the given bond dissociation energiesCH4(g) + 2O2(g) --> CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)BOND

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The ΔH° for the following reaction is -794 kJ, hence exothermic reaction,

Explanation:

$CH_4(g) + 2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g) + 2H_2O(g) ,$ ΔH° = ?

We are given with:

$\Delta H_{O-O}=142 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H_{O=O}=498 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H_{H-O}=459 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H_{C-H}=411 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H_{C-O}=358 kJ/mol$

$\Delta H_{C=O}=799 kJ/mol$

ΔH° =

(Energies required to break bonds on reactant side) - (Energies released on formation of bonds on product side)

$\Delta H^o=(1 mol\times 4\times \Delta H_{C-H}+2 mol\times 1\times \Delta H_{O=O})-(1 mol\times 2\times \Delta H_{C=O}+2 mol\times 2\times\Delta H_{H-O})$
