Explanation:
The reaction between calcium hydroxide and nitric acid is as follows.
Number of reactant atoms are as follows.
Number of product atoms are as follows.
To balance the given chemical equation, multiply by 2 on reactant side and multiply
by 2 on the product side.
Therefore, the balanced chemical equation will be as follows.
Answer:
(a) 0.779 mol Cr₂O₃
(b) 118 g Cr₂O₃
Explanation:
Step 1: Convert 156 g Cr₂S₃ to moles
Cr Molar Mass - 52.00 g/mol × 2 = 104.00 g/mol
S Molar Mass - 32.07 g/mol × 3 = 96.21 g/mol
156 g Cr₂S₃ ÷ 200.21 g/mol = 0.779182 mol Cr₂S₃
Step 2: Find conversion from Cr₂S₃ to Cr₂O₃
1 mol Cr₂S₃ equals 1 mol Cr₂O₃
Step 3: Use Dimensional Analysis
0.779182 mol Cr₂S₃ · = 0.779182 mol Cr₂O₃
0.779182 mol Cr₂O₃ ≈ 0.779 mol Cr₂O₃ (3 significant figures)
Step 4: Convert moles to grams
Cr Molar Mass - 52.00 g/mol × 2 = 104.00 g/mol
O Molar Mass - 16.00 g/mol × 3 = 48.00 g/mol
0.779182 mol Cr₂O₃ · 152.00 g/mol = 118.436 g Cr₂O₃
118.436 g Cr₂O₃ ≈ 118 g Cr₂O₃ (3 significant figures)
