Lars is balancing equations with his study group. He is unsure about one equation because each member of the study group came up

with a different answer. Which is the proper way to balance the equation Ca(OH)2 + H3PO4 → Ca3(PO4)2 + H2O? Ca(OH)2 + H3PO4 → Ca3(PO4)2 + 6H2O 3Ca(OH)2 + 2H3PO4 → Ca3(PO4)2 + 6H2O 3Ca(OH)2 + 2H3PO4 → Ca3(PO4)2 + 3H2O Ca(OH)2 + 2H3PO4 → Ca3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

Answer:

3Ca(OH)2 + 2H3PO4 → Ca3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

Explanation:

This a proper way to balance the equation:

- Count the OH from the base (2)

- Count the H from the acid (3)

We can make 2 molecules of H₂O but we still have one more H

H₃PO₄ → dissociates in → 3H⁺  +  PO₄³⁻

Ca(OH)₂  → dissociates in → Ca²⁺  +  2OH⁻

So, to form the salt, you must have 3 Ca²⁺ to react with 2 (PO₄³⁻) to make global charge of +6/-6

Therefore, if you have 3 Ca in the salt, you may have 3 Ca in the base.

So, if you have 2 phosphate in the salt, you must have 2 PO₄³⁻ in the acid.

Now you have 6 protons in the acid (6H) and 6 (OH) in the base; in conclussion you can make 6 H₂O.

Finally the ballance equation is:

3 Ca(OH)₂  +  2 H₃PO₄  →  Ca₃(PO₄)₂  +  6H₂O

Explain the ways that carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere. How is it removed? Does most carbon enter the atmosphere as car
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide is added to the atmosphere by human activities. When hydrocarbon fuels (i.e. wood, coal, natural gas, gasoline, and oil) are burned, carbon dioxide is released. During combustion or burning, carbon from fossil fuels combine with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide and water vapor.Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned. When humans burn fossil fuels to power factories, power plants, cars and trucks, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas. Each year, five and a half billion tons of carbon is released by burning fossil fuels.Carbon dioxide causes about 20 percent of Earth's greenhouse effect; water vapor accounts for about 50 percent; and clouds account for 25 percent.Likewise, when carbon dioxide concentrations rise, air temperatures go up, and more water vapor evaporates into the atmosphere—which then amplifies greenhouse heating

What are the molarity and osmolarity of a 1-liter solution that contains half a mole of calcium chloride? How many molecules of
givi [52]

Answer:

Molarity = 0.5 M

Osmolarity = 0.5 x 2 = 1 Osmpl.

Molecules of Cl2 = 6.02 x 10^{23} / 4= 1.505 x 10^{23} no. of molecules

Explanation:

If we add half mole in 1L volume than molarity will obviously be 0.5 M.

The osmolarity is molarity multiplies by number of dissociates of solute that for CaCl2 are 2. So, 2 x 0.5 = 1

Half will be molecules of Ca and half will be of Cl2 for 0.5M.
