[04.02]What coefficients must be added to balance the following equation?

1 answer:

7 0

Methink this is a neutralization reaction where an acid reacts with a base to form salt and water; but if we must balance the equation, we need to know what the product would be? So our base LiOH reacts with our acid Tetraoxosulphate (VI) H2SO4. The reaction produces salt and water as evidence. LiOH + H2SO4 gives Li2SO4 and H20. We need to make sure that the total atoms on the LHS and RHS balanced. So adding two moles of LiOH, we have 2LiOH + H2SO4 produces LiSO4 + H20. The eqn isn't balanced yet as there's 2 moles of deficit H2 atoms on the RHS, So our final reaction we have 2LiOH + H2SO4 gives Li2SO4 + 2H2O. Hence our answer is C

A gas occupies a volume of 85.0 liters at a pressure of 2.24 atm and a temperature of 22.5 degrees celsius. How many moles of ga

White raven [17]

Answer:

n = 7.86 mol

Explanation:

This question can be solved using the ideal gas law of PV = nRT.

Temperature must be in K, so we will convert 22.5C to 295 K ( Kelvin = C + 273).

R is the ideal gas constant of 0.0821.

(2.24atm)(85.0L) = n(0.0821)(295K)

Isolate n to get:

n = (2.24atm)(85.0L)/(0.0821)(295K)

n = 7.86 mol

Consider the potassium permanganate reaction again.

Rus_ich [418]

Hey there !

Mole ratio :

2 KMnO4 + 16 HCl → 2 KCl + 2 MnCl2 + 8 H2O + 5 Cl2

2 moles KMnO4 ----------------- 8 moles H2O
3.45 moles KMnO4 ------------- (moles H2O )

Moles H2O = 3.45 * 8 / 2

Moles H2O = 27.6 / 2

= 13.8 moles of H2O

The option that was given is wrong , You're right.

What is the dropped down number in a chemical formula that tells the number of atoms of a particular element? *

densk [106]

The lack of a number preceding the carbon symbol C and the compound formula CO2 shows that there is one carbon atom and one carbon dioxide molecule. Subscript numbers in chemical formulas represent the number of atoms or molecules immediately preceding the subscript.
