In this reaction, what is the correct coefficient for hydrogen gas? ? h2 + ? o2 ? ? h2o

1 answer:

6 0

To balance a chemical reaction, it is important to remember that the number of atoms of each element in the reactants and the product side should be equal. This is to follows the law of conservation of mass where mass cannot be created or destroyed. So, the total mass that is used to react should have the same value of the total mass of the substances produced from the reactants. The balanced chemical reaction would be written as follows:

 2h2 + o2 = 2h2o

Reactant = Product
H = 4 = 4
O = 2 = 2

Therefore, the correct coefficient for the hydrogen gas would be 2.

I'm having trouble with this one. At the very least, they both purify water. If I'm not mistaken, distillation is part of the process of purifying water.
Really sorry, I hope I helped at least a little! If you have any other questions I might be able to answer better, let me know..

A solution is prepared by dissolving 27.7 g of cacl2 in 375 g of water. the density of the resulting solution is 1.05 g/ml. the

bagirrra123 [75]

The answer is 6.88.
Solution:
We can calculate for the percent composition of CaCl2 by mass by dividing the mass of the CaCl2 solute by the mass of the solution and then multiply by 100. The total mass of the resulting solution is the sum of the mass of CaCl2 solute and the mass of water solvent. Therefore, the percent composition of CaCl2 by mass is
% by mass = (mass of the solute / mass of the solution)*100
= mass of solute / (mass of the solute + mass of the solvent)*100
= (27.7 g CaCl2 / 27.7g + 375g) * 100
= 6.88

Given the balanced chemical equation, SiO2(s) + 4 HF(g) → SiF4(g) + 2 H2O(l) ΔH°rxn = −184 kJ Determine the mass (in grams) of H

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

mass HF = 150.05 g

Explanation:

SiO2(s) + 4HF(g) → SiF4(g) + 2H2O(l)

⇒ Q = (ΔH°rxn * mHF) / (mol HF * MwHF )

∴ MwHF = 20.0063 g/mol

∴ mol HF = 4 mol

∴ ΔH°rxn = - 184 KJ

∴ Q = 345 KJ

mass HF ( mHF ):

⇒ mHF = ( Q * mol HF * MwHF ) / ΔH°rxn

⇒ mHF = ( 345 KJ * 4mol HF * 20.0063 g/mol ) / 184 KJ

⇒ mHF = 150.05 g HF
