Balance the following equation by adding the correct mole numbers.P⁴+Cl²->PCl³​

Chemistry
1 answer:
marta [7]4 years ago

Hey there!

P₄ + Cl₂ → PCl₃

First, let's balance Cl.

There are 2 on the left, and 3 on the right.

To balance this, let's put a coefficient of 3 in front of Cl₂ and a coefficient of 2 in front of PCl₃.

P₄ + 3Cl₂ → 2PCl₃

Now we have 6 on the left and 6 on the right.

Next, let's balance P.

There are 4 on the left and 2 on the right.

Let's change the coefficient in front of PCl₃ from 2 to 4.

P₄ + 3Cl₂ → 4PCl₃

There are now 4 P on each side.

However, now Cl is unbalanced, with 6 on the left and 12 on the right.

We can change the coefficient in front of Cl₂ from 3 to 6.

P₄ + 6Cl₂ → 4PCl₃

So now, we have 4 P on each side and 12 C on each side.

This is our final balanced equation.

Hope this helps!

When hno2 dissociates in water, which atom is dontaing electrons, allowing water to act as a lewis base?
miss Akunina [59]

Answer to this is O-atom.

Explanation: The Bronsted acid-base theory is the backbone of chemistry. This theory focuses mainly on acids and bases acting as proton donors or proton acceptors.

A^+ + B^- \rightarrow A-B

where A^+ is the Lewis Acid and B^- is the Lewis Base and A-B is the Covalent Bond.

Reaction of dissociation of HNO2 in H_2O is given as:

HNO_2 + H_2O \rightarrow H_3O^+ + NO_2^-

In this reaction O-atom has lone pair in water and therefore it accepts the proton from HNO_2 forming a Lewis Base.

Scrat [10]

Which two solutions, when mixed together, will undergo a double replacement reaction and form a white, solid substance?


1. NaCl(aq) and LiNO3(aq)

2. KCl(aq) and AgNO3(aq)  answer

3. KCl(aq) and LiCL(aq)

4. NaNO3(aq) and AgNO3(aq)


2 is the answer because AgCl is formed and that is a white ppt.

otez555 [7]

Answer:

C) It will accelerate.  

Explanation:

According to Newton’s second law of motion, when an object is acted on by an unbalanced force, it will accelerate.

An unbalanced force will change the speed or direction (or both) of an object. A change in speed and/or direction is acceleration.

A) is wrong. The object will stop moving only if there is a balanced force in the opposite direction.

B) is wrong. The object will decrease speed only if the unbalanced force has a component opposite to the direction of motion.

d) is wrong. The object will increase speed only if the unbalanced force has a component in the direction of motion.

Why do reactivity increases on moving from top to bottom in group 2 of modern periodic table?
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

that's because....

group 1 (e.g Na, K) those tend to lose one electron to gain noble gas electron configuration.

they can achieve that by just losing one electron from their outer shell.

as you go down the group 1, element gets bigger in size, which means there is more space between nucleus (which is in center of atom) and electron of outer shell. the more far away they are the less attraction force between them.

so its easier for potassuim to lose one electron than for lithuim.

so that means potassium will easily give up 1 electron to react with non metal or other element therefore it is more reactive than lithuim

but in case of non metal, the opposite happens but simple to understand.

as you go down the group 7 (halogen- Cl, Br, I) element will get bigger therefore force between nucleus and outer electron is getting smaller. they have to gain 1 electron in order to fill the outer shell (to gain noble gas electron configuration.)

as florine is more smaller in size than clorine it is more reactive because florine has more tendency to pull extra electron from metal or other element towards its side. so it easily gain 1 electron to react.
