Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Each metal oxide reacts with HCl to form water and the metal chloride

$\rm SrO + 2HCl \longrightarrow SrCl_{2} + H_{2}O\\\\Na_{2}O + 2HCl \longrightarrow 2NaCl + H_{2}O\\\\Li_{2}O + 2HCl \longrightarrow 2LiCl + H_{2}O\\\\BaO + 2HCl \longrightarrow BaCl_{2} + H_{2}O$

Answer:

Generally, metal oxides reacts with hydrochloric acid(HCl) to form the corresponding salts and water

SrO + 2HCl → SrCl2 + H2O

Na2O + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H2O

Li2O + 2HCl → 2LiCl + H2O

BaO + 2HCl → BaCl2 + H2O

Explanation:

Metal oxides are basic in nature .This means they have a high pH value ( >7 ). This is why if they react with acid the product becomes salt and water. Now let us write a balance equation between the following metal oxides and Hydrochloric acid(HCl) as stated in the questions.

SrO + 2HCl → SrCl2 + H2O

The above equation has the reactant at the left hand side and the products at the right hand side. Balancing the equation requires that the number of each element present on the reactant sides need to be equal on the product sides . Sr(strontium) has only one atom(SrO) and one atom of oxygen (SrO) on the reactant side. On the product side, Sr has one atom(SrCl) and one atom of oxygen(H2O). So Sr and O is balanced on both sides. The hydrogen on the product sides has 2 atom and the chlorine has 2 atom too . To balance the 2 atoms with that on the reactant side we add 2 in front of HCl to make hydrogen 2 atoms and chlorine 2 atoms.

Na2O + 2HCl → 2NaCl + H2O

Same method applied to balance the first equation is used here . Make sure every number of atom on the left side is equal to the right sides. The sodium is diatomic on the left and right sides. The oxygen has one atom on both sides .The hydrogen is diatomic on both sides and chlorine is diatomic on both sides. so the equation is balanced.

Li2O + 2HCl → 2LiCl + H2O

The equation is balance here as I added 2 in front of HCl to balance hydrogen and chlorine on both sides. And add 2 in front of LiCl to balance with the diatomic Chlorine and lithium on the reactant side.

BaO + 2HCl → BaCl2 + H2O

I only added 2 to the HCl acid to balance it with what we have on the right sides.

Answer:

According to conservation of matter, there should be equal amounts of all elements on both the reactant and product side.

Reactant:

1 Ca

1 C

1 O

Product:

1 Ca

1 C

3 O

Therefore, your friend is right because the law of conservation of matter is not followed in this chemical equation.

Why diamond has a very high melting point than aluminium??

Bogdan [553]

Each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four other carbon atoms. A lot of energy is needed to separate the atoms in diamond. This is because covalent bonds are strong, and diamond contains very many covalent bonds. This makes diamond's melting point and boiling point very high.

What is the molarity of a solution in which 58g of nacl are dissolved in 1.0 l of solution

Lady_Fox [76]

Hey there :

Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol

Number of moles :

n = mass of solute / molar mass

n = 58 / 58.44

n = 0.9924 moles of NaCl

Volume = 1.0 L

Therefore:

Molarity = number of moles / volume ( L )

Molarity = 0.9924 / 1.0

Molarity = 0.9924 M

Hope that helps!

What products result from mixing aqueous solutions of Cr(NO3)2(aq) and NaOH(aq)? Question 10 options: Cr(OH)2(s), Na+(aq), and N

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Cr(OH)2(s), Na+(aq), and NO3−(aq)

Explanation:

Let is consider the molecular equation;

2NaOH(aq) + Cr(NO3)2(aq) -----> 2NaNO3(aq) + Cr(OH)2(s)

This is a double displacement or double replacement reaction. The reacting species exchange their partners. We can see here that both the sodium ion and chromium II ion both exchanged partners and picked up each others partners in the product.

Sodium ions and nitrate ions now remain in the solution while chromium II hydroxide which is insoluble is precipitated out of the solution as a solid hence the answer.
