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)

What is the molarity of a solution made by adding 0.720 mole of NaOH to 2.40 liters of water
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Molarity = 0.3 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of NaOH = 0.720 mol

Volume of water = 2.40 L

Molarity = ?

Solution:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

Molarity = 0.720 mol / 2.40 L

Molarity = 0.3 mol/L

Molarity = 0.3 M

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Let us recall that the basic rule in writing balanced chemical reaction equations is that the number of atoms of each element on the right hand side of the reaction equation is the same of the number of atoms of the same element on the left hand side of the reaction equation.

The reaction of red hot iron and steam is written as follows;

3Fe + 4H2O → Fe3O4 + 4H2.

The decomposition reaction of ammonium dichromate is written as;

(NH4)2Cr2O7 → N2 + Cr2O3 + 4H2O

Reaction of aluminium, sodium hydroxide and water is as follows,

2Al + 2NaOH + 2H2O ----> 2NaAlO2 + 3H2

Reaction of potassium bicarbonate with sulphuric acid;

2KHCO3 + H2SO4 -------> K2SO4 + 2H2O + 2CO2

Reaction of zinc and sodium hydroxide is as follows;

Zn + 2NaOH→Na2ZnO2 + H2
