Answer:

Explanation:

(NH4)3 PO4 +NaOH arrow Na3PO4 +3NH3 +3H2O

Start by seeing what happens with the Na. You need 3 on the left, so put a 3 in front of NaOH

(NH4)3 PO4 +3NaOH arrow Na3PO4 +3NH3 +3H2O Next work with the nitrogens. YOu have 3 on the left and 3 on the right, so they are OK. Next Go to the stray oxygens.

You have 3 on left in (NaOH) and three on the right in 3H2O so they are fine as well. The last thing you should look at are hydrogens.

There are 12 + 3 on the left which is 15. There are 9 (in 3NH3) and 6 more in the water. They seem fine.

Why didn't I do something with the PO4^(-3)? The reason is a deliberately stayed away from them and balanced everything else. Since they were untouched with 1 on the left and 1 on the right, they are balanced.

Species Na H O N PO4

Left 3 15 3 3 1

Right 3 15 3 3 1

Answer:

(NH₄)₃PO₄ + 3NaOH ⟶ Na₃PO₄ + 3NH₃ + 3H₂O

Explanation:

Your unbalanced equation is

(NH₄)₃PO₄ + NaOH ⟶ Na₃PO₄ + NH₃ + H₂O

A method that usually works for balancing by inspection is

Balance all atoms other than O and H
Balance O
Balance H

1. Pick the most complicated-looking formula [(NH₄)₃PO₄].

Put a 1 in front of it.

1(NH₄)₃PO₄ + NaOH ⟶ Na₃PO₄ + NH₃ + H₂O

2. Balance N.

We have fixed 3N on the left. We need 3N on the right.

Put a 3 in front of NH₃.

1(NH₄)₃PO₄ + NaOH ⟶ Na₃PO₄ + 3NH₃ + H₂O

3. Balance P.

We have fixed 1P on the left. We need 1P on the right.

Put a 1 in front of Na₃PO₄.

1(NH₄)₃PO₄ + NaOH ⟶ 1Na₃PO₄ + 3NH₃ + H₂O

4. Balance Na

We have fixed 3Na on the right. we need 3Na on the left.

Put a 3 in front of NaOH.

1(NH₄)₃PO₄ + 3NaOH ⟶ 1Na₃PO₄ + 3NH₃ + H₂O

5. Balance O.

We have fixed 7O on the left and 4O on the right. We need three more O atoms on the right.

Put a 3 in front of H₂O.

1(NH₄)₃PO₄ + 3NaOH ⟶ 1Na₃PO₄ + 3NH₃ + 3H₂O

All species have a coefficient. The equation should now be balanced.

6. Check that all atoms are balanced

$\begin{array}{ccc}\textbf{Atom} & \textbf{On the left} & \textbf{On the right}\\\text{N} & 3 & 3\\\text{H} & 15 & 15\\\text{P} & 1 & 1\\\text{O} & 7 & 7\\\text{Na} & 3 & 3\\\end{array}$

The balanced equation is

(NH₄)₃PO₄ + 3NaOH ⟶ Na₃PO₄ + 3NH₃ + 3H₂O

Which of the following chemical reactions is an oxidation-reduction reaction? CuSO4 + BaCl2 yields BaSO4 + CuCl2 Pb(NO3)2 + 2NaC

Ratling [72]

The answer is N2 + 3H2 yields 2NH3. The oxidation-reduction reaction means that there is electrons transfer during the reaction which means that the valence changed.

The goal of this lesson:

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

1. The concentration of N₂O₄ decrease as the temperature of the system increased.

2. The formation of products was favored by the addition of heat.

3. The reaction going from right to left is exothermic.

4. N₂O₄ → 2NO₂; HR = +14 kcal.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction is as follows: N₂O₄ ⇄ 2NO₂

The forward reaction proceeds with an increase in temperature. As the temperature of the reaction was increased, more of the N₂O₄ decomposed to form NO₂. Therefore, the concentration of N₂O₄ deceased.

2. The formation of products, that is the forward reaction leading to formation of NO₂ was favored by the addition of heat. Thus, with increase in temperature, the concentration of NO₂ increased.

3. An endothermic reaction is a type of reaction which requires energy input in the form of heat in order to proceed.

From the observations during the reaction, an increase in temperature by the addition of heat resulted in an increase in the forward reaction, therefore, the forward reaction is endothermic and the backward reaction is exothermic. Thus, the reaction in which colorless N₂O₄ is produced, is an exothermic reaction.

4. The change in enthalpy of a reaction is the difference in the heat content of reactants and products. For exothermic reactions, enthalpy change is negative, whereas for endothermic reactions, enthalpy change is positive.

The decomposition of N₂O₄ to NO₂ is an endothermic reaction. Hence, the correct chemical equation is: N₂O₄ → 2NO₂; HR = +14 kcal.

Should the density of a metal depend on its volume?

jekas [21]

Answer:

Density is the ratio of the mass of an object to its volume. Density is an intensive property, meaning that it does not depend on the amount of material present in the sample. ... Since a cubic centimeter is equal to a milliliter, density units can also be expressed as g/mL.

A scientist finds that one volume of an unknown gas X combines with two volumes of another gas Y to form two volumes of a new ga

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Gas X

Explanation:

The given reaction can be written in the form of chemical equation as shown below as:

$X+2Y\rightarrow 2XY_2$

According to law of conservation of mass, the moles of each substance in the reaction must be equal on both reactant and product side.

Also, the question asks for the gas which is diatomic. $XY_2$ cannot be diatomic as the formula contains 3 atoms.

Between gas X and gas Y , X has to be diatomic for the reaction to balance as:

$X_2+2Y\rightarrow 2XY_2$
