<span>First, write the net ionic equation for the unbalanced reaction. If you are given a word equation to balance, you'll need to be able to identify strong electrolytes, weak electrolytes and insoluble compounds. Strong electrolytes completely dissociate into their ions in water. Examples of strong electrolytes are strong acids, strong bases, and soluble salts. Weak electrolytes yield very few ions in solution, so they are represented by their molecular formula (not written as ions). Water, weak acids, and weak bases are examples of weak electrolytes. The pH of a solution can cause them to dissociate, but in those situations, you'll be presented an ionic equation, not a word problem. Insoluble compounds do not dissociate into ions, so they are represented by the molecular formula. A table is provided to help you determine whether or not a chemical is soluble, but it's a good idea to memorize the solubility rules.

This means identifying and separating the reaction into an oxidation half-reaction and a reduction half-reaction. </span><span>For one of the half-reactions, balance the atoms except for O and H. You want the same number of atoms of each element on each side of the equation. </span><span>Repeat this with the other half-reaction. </span><span>Add H2O to balance the O atoms. Add H+ to balance the H atoms. The atoms (mass) should balance out now. </span><span>Now balance charge. Add e- (electrons) to one side of each half-reaction to balance charge. You may need to multiply the electrons the the two half-reactions to get the charge to balance out. It's fine to change coefficients as long as you change them on both sides of the equation. </span><span>Now, add the two half-reactions together. Inspect the final equation to make sure it is balanced. Electrons on both sides of the ionic equation must cancel out. </span><span>Double-check your work! Make sure there are equal numbers of each type of atom on both sides of the equation. Make sure the overall charge is the same on both sides of the ionic equation. </span><span>If the reaction takes place in a basic solution, add an equal number of OH- as you have H+ ions. Do this for both sides of the equation and combine H+ and OH- ions to form H2O. </span><span>Be sure to indicate the state of each species. Indicate solid with (s), liquid for (l), gas with (g), and aqueous solution with (aq). </span><span>Remember, a balanced net ionic equation only describes chemical species that participate in the reaction. Drop additional substances from the equation.ExampleThe net ionic equation for the reaction you get mixing 1 M HCl and 1 M NaOH is:H+(aq) + OH-(aq) → H2O(l)Even though sodium and chlorine exist in the reaction, the Cl- and Na+ ions are not written in the net ionic equation because they don't participate in the reaction.</span></span>

<span>0.06355391 mol
The balanced equation for the reaction is
Na2B4O7*10H2O + 2 HNO3 = 2 NaNO3 + 4 H3BO3 + 5 H2O
So for each mole of Borax to neutralize, it takes 2 moles of HNO3.
Calculate number of moles of Borax
0.2619 g / 381.372 g/mol = 0.0006867 mol
Moles of HNO3 used = 0.0006867 mol * 2 = 0.0013734 mol
Molarity is defined as moles per liter so divide the number of moles used by the volume in liters. So
0.0013734 / 0.02161 = 0.06355391 mol</span>
Answer:
A. Yes, the substance must be water.
Explanation:
The density of a substance is unique to it. Density is defined the as the amount of substance contained per volume.
One of the ways of identifying a substance is to determine its density. Every matter is known to have their own specific densities. This makes them different from other substances. The density of gold is unique to it and it differs from that of silver.
In fact, water has density of 1.00gcm⁻³. Experimental errors and some little factors must have altered our expected figure. This a case of precision and accuracy in the experiment.
