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.

The hydrogen gas produced is collected over water at 25.0 oC. The volume of the gas is 7.80 L, and the total pressure in the gas
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

20.4 grams Zn

Explanation:

To find the mass, you first need to find the moles. This can be found using the Ideal Gas Law equation:

PV = nRT

In this equation,

-----> P = pressure (atm)

-----> V = volume (L)

-----> n = moles

-----> R = Ideal Gas Constant (0.08206 atm*L/mol*K)

-----> T = temperature (K)

Before you can plug the values into the equation, you need to convert Celsius to Kelvin.

P = 0.980 atm                   R = 0.08206 atm*L/mol*K

V = 7.80 L                          T = 25.0 °C + 273.15 = 298.15 K

n = ? moles

PV = nRT

(0.980 atm)(7.80 L) = n(0.08206 atm*L/mol*K)(298.15 K)

7.644 = n(24.466)

0.312 moles = n

Now that you have the number of moles, you can convert it to grams using the atomic mass of zinc. The final answer should have 3 sig figs to match the sig figs in the given values.

Atomic Mass (Zn): 65.380 g/mol

0.312 moles Zn           65.380 grams
-------------------------  x  -------------------------  =  20.4 grams Zn
                                         1 mole

Is Acetaminophen ionic, molecular or organic compound
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Organic compound

Explanation:

Acetominophen's molecular formula is C8H9NO2. Right from the formula you can also see that the compound has C (carbon) in it, therefore making it an organic compound (in which the definition is that the compound contains carbon in it).

Which of the following statements is TRUE? (A) An ionic bond is much stronger than most covalent bonds.(B) Once dissolved in wat
Ainat [17]

Answer:

A)  An ionic bond is much stronger than most covalent bonds.

Explanation:

D) Ionic compounds have high melting points causing them to be solid at room temperature, and conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Covalent compounds have low melting points and many are liquids or gases at room temperature.

C) An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal. A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms.

A) Covalent bonds are stronger if you compare with ionic molecules, because their molecular orbital overlap is bigger. However, ionic molecules form lattices, thus the energy to break this lattice bond is stronger hence the ionic bond is stronger.
