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

(a) Write the reaction for the overall oxidation of propane (C3H8) with oxygen to produce CO2 and water.
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Oxidation is the loss of electrons, that is, addition of electronegetive elements, example is addition of oxygen. Also, removal of electropositive elements, example is removal of hydrogen.

Explanation: a) In the presence of excess oxygen, propane burns in air, which gives the following chemical equation:

C3H8 + 5O2⇒ 3CO2 + 4H2O +Heat

b) When insufficient oxygen or too much oxygen is present for complete combustion, the following equation is given:

2C3H8 + 9O2 ⇒ 4CO2 + 2CO + 8H2O + Heat

c) At the anode( negative terminal): O∧2- ⇒ O + e

Oxygen accepts electron.

d) At cathode ( positive terminal): H∧+ + e∧- ⇒ H

Hydrogen donates electron

d) Nernst equation for reversal potential is given as follows:

E= RT/zF  In{ion outside cell}/{ion inside cell}= 2.303 RT/zF In{ion outside cell}/{ion inside cell}

What is the volume of a gas if 0.182 moles of the gas is at 1.99 atm and 83.4oC?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

2.68 Liters

Explanation:

ideal gas law

PV=NRT

to get the volume

rearrange the formula

V=nRT/P

R molar gas constant is in units joules per mole kelvin :

8.314 J/(mol K) (joules per mole kelvin)

T temperature part of this is in kelvin so you have to convert the Celsius temperature to kelvin

1 Celsius is 274.15 kelvin so

83.4 Celsius is 356.55 kelvin

P pressure is in Pascal or Pa units

so you have to convert atm into Pa

1 atm is 201636.8 Pa or Pascals so

1.99 atm is 201636.8 Pa

V volume will be in cubic meters or m^3

m^3 will need to changed to liters

1 cubic meter or m^3 is 1000 liters

n amount of substance is in moles

again the rearranged formula is

V=nRT/P

(0.182*8.314*356.55)/201636.8 =

0.00267566693 cubic meters or m^3

1 cubic meter or m^3 is 1000 liters so

0.00267566693 cubic meters or m^3 times 1000 =

2.67566693 liters
