How do you write the balanced equation for strontium hydroxide and zirconium (I) perchlorate

Chemistry

Andrei [34K]3 years ago

The law of conservation of mass states that the mass of a system must remain constant everytime, it can neither be created or destroyed. This means the number of atoms of each element on reactant side must equal the number of atoms of each element on product side.

First we figure out the chemical formula for each compound by taking advantage of oxidation states which are able to tell us whether an element will lose or gain an electron

Strontium hydroxide?

Sr is an alkaline earth metal which has 2 valence electrons that when both are lost it has an oxidation state of +2. Since we know the hydroxide ion has a charge of -1, -_{OH}, Then two -_{OH} are needed to form compound, hence we have SrOH_2

zirconium (I) perchlorate?

The oxidation state of zirconium is +1 since it is stated that we have zirconium(I). Converserly, perchlorate has a -1 charge which further proves that zirconium has a +1 oxidation state

The product would have a strontium diperchlorate because we know from earlier that Sr has a +2 oxidation state, and we would also have ZrOH because Zr has a +1 oxidation state and -_{OH} has a -1 charge

The unbalanced equation with all chemicals formulas would be

SrOH_2_(s) + ZrClO^{-} _4(aq) ==> Sr(ClO^{-} _4)_2(aq) + ZrOH(aq)

Using the law of conservation of mass, it is clear that there is 1 molecule of ClO^{-} _4 on reactant side as compared to 2 molecules of ClO^{-} _4 on product side. On the other hand, the are 2 molecules of -_{OH} on reactant side and 1 molecule of  -_{OH} on product side. To balance we add a coefficient of 2 on ZrClO_4 and a coefficient of 2 on ZrOH,

SrOH_2_(s) + 2ZrClO_4_(aq) ==> Sr(ClO_4)_2_(aq) + 2ZrOH(aq).

Which of the following samples of baking soda wold react the fastest with
suter [353]
The answer is powder because if it was a small crystal it the molecules are tightly compact same with the small cube but there less compact, powder is loose and more spread out and easier to mix so it would react the fastest

How many moles of H2 are produced from 5.8 moles of NH3
vodomira [7]

Answer:

1. 8.7moles of H2

2. 2.25moles of O2

Explanation:

1. 2NH3 —> N2 + 3H2

From the equation,

2moles of NH3 produce 3 moles of H2.

Therefore, 5.8moles of NH3 will produce Xmol of H2 i.e

Xmol of H2 = (5.8x3)/2 = 8.7moles

2. C3H8 + 5O2 —> 3CO2 + 4H2O

From the equation,

5moles of O2 produced 4moles of H2O.

Therefore, Xmol of O2 will produce 1.8mol of H2O i.e

Xmol of O2 = (5x1.8)/4 = 2.25moles

How does natural selection produce adaptations in a species?
pashok25 [27]
Well the organism that is producing an offspring is already very adapted to it's surroundings. So, the organism has developed characteristics that help it survive in it's environment. These traits are passed down to the offspring. Creating adaptations to this particular species.
