Hydrofluoric acid is used to etch grooves in glass because it reacts with the silica (sio2(s)) in glass. the products of the rea

ctions are aqueous silicon tetrafluoride and water. what is the coefficient of silica in the balanced equation for the reaction? (balance the equation with the smallest possible whole number coefficients.)

Answer is: coefficient is one.
Chemical reaction: SiO₂ + 4HF → SiF₄ + 2H₂O.
Reaction is balanced when there are equal numbers of elements in both side of the chemical reaction.
HF - hydrofluoric acid, <span>highly corrosive, dissolves many materials.</span>
SiF₄ - silicon tetrafluoride.

Answer:

1

Explanation:

Chemical reaction: SiO₂ + 4HF → SiF₄ + 2H₂O.

In front of the silica there is no number which makes it an automatic 1.

What is the mass of copper that increases its temperature by 285 degrees celsius when 186,000 j of energy is applied?
Llana [10]
From reliable sources in the web, it may be searched that the specific heat of copper is approximately equal to 0.385 J/gC. The amount of heat that is required to raise a certain amount by certain number of degrees is given in the equation,
                              H = mcpdT
where H is heat, m is mass, cp is specific heat, and dT is temperature difference. Substituting the known values,
                           186,000 J = (m)(0.385 J/gC)(285C) 
                                     m = 1695.15 g
