How many moles of calcium hydroxide, ca(oh)2, are needed to neutralize 2 moles of sulfuric acid, h2so4?

1 answer:

3 0

The balanced equation for the neutralisation reaction is as follows
Ca(OH)₂ + H₂SO₄ ---> CaSO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of Ca(OH)₂ to H₂SO₄ is 1:1
equivalent number of acid reacts with base
number of H₂SO₄ mol reacting - 2 mol
according to molar ratio of 1:1
number of Ca(OH)₂ mol = number of H₂SO₄ moles
therefore number of Ca(OH)₂ moles required - 2 mol

Be sure to answer all parts. Write an unbalanced equation to represent each of the following reactions: Do not include phase abb

Eva8 [605]

Answer: The unbalanced chemical equations are written below.

Explanation:

An unbalanced chemical equation is defined as the equation in which total number of individual atoms on the reactant side is not equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side. These equations does not follow law of conservation of mass.

For a:

The chemical equation for the reaction of nitrogen gas and oxygen gas follows:

$N_2+O_2\rightarrow NO_2$

The product formed is nitrogen dioxide.

For b:

The chemical equation for the decomposition of dinitrogen pentaoxide follows:

$N_2O_5\rightarrow N_2O_4+O_2$

The product formed is dinitrogen tetroxide and oxygen gas.

For c:

The chemical equation for the reaction of ozone to oxygen gas follows:

$O_3\rightarrow O_2$

The product formed is oxygen gas.

For d:

The chemical equation for the reaction of chlorine and sodium iodide follows:

$Cl_2+NaI\rightarrow NaCl+I_2$

The product formed is sodium chloride and iodine gas

For e:

The chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium and oxygen gas follows:

$Mg+O_2\rightarrow MgO$

The product formed is magnesium oxide

Explain how earth plates and lithosphere are related

AnnyKZ [126]

Crust, the upper layer of the Earth, is not always the same. Crust under the oceans is only about 5 km thick while continental crust can be up to 65 km thick. Also, ocean crust is made of denser minerals than continental crust.

The tectonic plates are made up of Earth’s crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere and they extend about 80 km deep. The lithosphere is broken into giant plates that fit around the globe like puzzle pieces. These puzzle pieces move a little bit each year as they slide on top of a somewhat fluid part of the mantle called the asthenosphere. All this moving rock can cause earthquakes.

The asthenosphere is ductile and can be pushed and deformed like silly putty in response to the warmth of the Earth. These rocks actually flow, moving in response to the stresses placed upon them by the churning motions of the deep interior of the Earth. The flowing asthenosphere carries the lithosphere of the Earth, including the continents, on its back.
