Answer:

3C3H8O2 and 16H2SO4

Explanation:

C3H8O2(aq) + K2Cr2O7(aq) → C3H4O4(aq) + Cr2(SO4)3(aq)

In acidic reaction you need to separate the half-reactions knows.

C3H8O2(aq)  → C3H4O4(aq)

Cr2O7(2-) → Cr(+3) (aq)

Balance elements other than O and H. Add H2O to balance oxygen, balance hydrogen by adding protons (H+) and Balance the charge of each equation with electrons

C3H8O2(aq) + 2H2O(l)  → C3H4O4(aq) + 8H(+) + 8e(-)

Cr2O7(2-) + 14H(+) + 6e(-) → 2Cr(+3) + 7H2O (aq)

Scale the reactions so that the electrons are equal. If not look for a common multiple. In this case is 24, 8*3=6*4. So for each equation multiply for the correct multiple. Then

3C3H8O2(aq) + 6H2O(l)  → 3C3H4O4(aq) + 24H(+) + 24e(-)

4Cr2O7(2-) + 56H(+) + 24e(-) → 8Cr(+3) + 28H2O (aq)

Add the reactions and cancel out common terms and group the ions in compounds if u can.

3C3H8O2(aq)  + 32H(+) + 4Cr2O7(2-)  → 3C3H4O4(aq) + 4Cr2(SO4)3(aq) + 22H2O (aq)

We are in acidic medium  so the H(+) must be from H2SO4. So 32H(+) is  16H2SO4 in reactives. Add SO4(2-) in products and balance

16H2SO4 +3C3H8O2(aq) + 4Cr2O7(2-)  → 3C3H4O4(aq) 4Cr2(SO4)3(aq) + 22H2O (aq) + 4SO4(2-)

Then

16H2SO4 +3C3H8O2(aq) + 4Cr2O7(2-)  → 3C3H4O4(aq) 4Cr2(SO4)3(aq) + 22H2O (aq) +  + 2K2SO4 (aq)

0.785 moles of N2,fill a balloon at 1.5 atm and 301 K.<br> What is the volume of the balloon?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

V = 12.93 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles = 0.785 mol

Pressure of balloon = 1.5 atm

Temperature = 301 K

Volume of balloon = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solve by using general gas equation,

PV = nRT

P= Pressure

V = volume

n = number of moles

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K  

T = temperature in kelvin

Now we will put the values.

V = nRT/P

V = 0.785 mol × 0.0821 atm.L/ mol.K × 301 K / 1.5 atm

V = 19.4 L /1.5

V = 12.93 L
