How does a balanced chemical equation illustrate that mass is never lost or gained in a chemical reaction?​

Answer:

Explanation:

Because if the equation is truly balanced, the elements on one side equal the element numbers on the other. Take a simple example.

Ba(OH)2 + 2HCl ==> BaCl2 + 2HOH

Now consider what is true.

Element            Number of the left            Number on the right.

Ba                             1                                              1

O                              2                                             2

H                               4                                            4

Cl                              2                                             2

Nothing has changed going from the left to the right. You may wonder how you get 4 for the hydrogens.

Ba(OH)2  has 2 hydrogens. You multiply the 2 by the hydrogens in the brackets.

2HCl = The 2 in front affects both the hydrogens and the chlorines. There are 2 hydrogens from the HCl

Total: 2 + 2 = 4 hydrogens. The right side is done the same way.

You are not getting different results on the right side than those that you had on the left. Mass is preserved. 1 Ba + 2 Os + 4Hs and 2 Cls on the left, gives the same numbers on the right. There is no loss of mass.

Which compound is soluble in water PbS BaS Na2S Fe2S3
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Na₂S, if you need to choices the other one is BaS

Explanation:

As a general rule, all the compounds that have sulfur, are insoluble in water, but the are some exceptions.

-Molecules with ammonia

-If the molecule has alkali metals is soluble

-If the molecule has Ca⁺², Sr⁺² and Ba⁺² is soluble in water.

From the compounds given, following the rules, the compound that is soluble in is Na₂S and perhaps BaS.

55.2 mL of 0.500 M potassium hydroxide is used to neutralize 27.4 mL of sulfuric
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

0.504 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced neutralization reaction

2 KOH + H₂SO₄ ⇒ K₂SO₄ + 2 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the reacting moles of KOH

55.2 mL (0.0552 L) of 0.500 M KOH react. The reacting moles of KOH are:

0.0552 L × 0.500 mol/L = 0.0276 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of H₂SO₄ that reacted with 0.0276 moles of KOH

The molar ratio of KOH to H₂SO₄ is 2:1. The reacting moles of H₂SO₄ are 1/2 × 0.0276 mol = 0.0138 mol

Step 4: Calculate the concentration of H₂SO₄

0.0138 moles of H₂SO₄ are in 27.4 mL (0.0274 L). The molarity of H₂SO₄ is:

[H₂SO₄] = 0.0138 mol/0.0274 L = 0.504 M
