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

PLEASE HELP <br> What is the element dot structure for Li+1? Really confused about the +1 part.

AleksandrR [38]

Since it's Li+1, that means it's a Lithium ion, not just the element itself. The +1 charge means it loses an electron. The dot structure would be Lithium, and however many valence electrons it has minus 1

Answer:

2812.6 g of H₂SO₄

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mole of H₂SO₄ = 28.7 moles

Mass of H₂SO₄ =?

Next, we shall determine the molar mass of H₂SO₄. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of H₂SO₄ = (1×2) + 32 + (16×4)

= 2 + 32 + 64

= 98 g/mol

Finally, we shall determine the mass of H₂SO₄. This can be obtained as follow:

Mole of H₂SO₄ = 28.7 moles

Molar mass of H₂SO₄ =

Mass of H₂SO₄ =?

Mole = mass / Molar mass

28.7 = Mass of H₂SO₄ / 98

Cross multiply

Mass of H₂SO₄ = 28.7 × 98

Mass of H₂SO₄ = 2812.6 g

Thus, 28.7 mole of H₂SO₄ is equivalent to 2812.6 g of H₂SO₄

A student dissolves 3.9g of aniline (C6H5NH2) in 200.mL of a solvent with a density of 1.05 g/mL . The student notices that the

Tresset [83]

Answer:

a. Molarity= $M =2.1x10^{-1}M$

b. Molality= $m=2.0x10^{-1}m$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the information about the aniline, whose molar mass is 93g/mol, one could assume the volume of the solution is just 200 mL (0.200 L) as no volume change is observed when mixing, therefore, the molarity results:

$M=\frac{n_{solute}}{V_{solution}} =\frac{3.9g*\frac{1mol}{93g} }{0.2L} =2.1x10^{-1}M$

Moreover, the molality:

$m=\frac{n_{solute}}{m_{solvent}} =\frac{3.9g*\frac{1mol}{93g} }{0.2L*\frac{1.05kg}{1L} } =2.0x10^{-1}m$

Best regards.

What is the correct ionic formula when mg2+ and p3− react?

Mumz [18]

Answer: Ionic formula will be $Mg_3P_2$ .

Explanation: $Mg^{2+}$ and $P^{3-}$ ions will form a ionic compound. Ionic compounds have both metals and non-metals.

Here $Mg^{2+}$ is a metal and $P^{3-}$ is a non-metal.

The net charge on any compound must be 0.

So we need 2 phosphate ions to balance the charge on $Mg^{2+}$ ions. Similarly we need 3 Magnesium ions to balance the charge on $P^{3-}$ ions.

Criss-crossing the charges, we will get the formula as $Mg_3P_2$

Criss-crossing is shown in the image below.
