What volume of 0.230 M K2S solution is required to completely react with 175 mL of 0.130 M Co(NO3)2?

The equation for the reaction between copper and nitric acid is vCu + wHNO3--->xCu(NO3)2 + yNO + zH2O Balance the equation an

lana [24]

Answer:

The coefficients of the balanced equation are:

v= 1
w= 4
x= 1
y= 2
z=2

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Matter, also called the Law of Conservation of Mass or the Lomonósov-Lavoisier Law, postulates that "mass is neither created nor destroyed, it is only transformed". This means that the reagents interact with each other and form new products with different physical and chemical properties than the reagents, but the amount of matter or mass before and after a transformation (chemical reaction) is always the same. In other words, then the mass before the chemical reaction is equal to the mass after the reaction.

Then, you must balance the following chemical equation:

v Cu + w HNO₃ → x Cu(NO₃)₂ + y NO + z H₂O

For that, you must first look at the subscripts next to each atom to find the number of atoms in the equation. If the same atom appears in more than one molecule, you must add its amounts

Left side: 1 copper, 1 hydrogen, 1 nitrogen and 3 oxygen.
Right side: 1 copper, 2 hydrogen, 3 nitrogen and 8 oxygen.

The coefficients located in front of each molecule indicate the amount of each molecule for the reaction. This coefficient can be modified to balance the equation, just as you should never alter the subscripts.

By multiplying the coefficient mentioned by the subscript, you get the amount of each element present in the reaction.

Generally, hydrogen and oxygen balance in the end. So you balance nitrogen first, because copper is already balanced (there is the same amount on both sides of the reaction). If w = 2, then:

Left side: 1 copper, 2 hydrogen, 2 nitrogen and 6 oxygen.
Right side: 1 copper, 2 hydrogen, 3 nitrogen and 8 oxygen.

But you see then that the oxygen is unbalanced and you have less quantity in the reagents. Then w must be greater. Being w = 4:

Left side: 1 copper, 4 hydrogen, 4 nitrogen and 10 oxygen.
Right side: 1 copper, 2 hydrogen, 3 nitrogen and 8 oxygen.

Going back to the idea of balancing nitrogen, being y = 2:

Left side: 1 copper, 4 hydrogen, 4 nitrogen and 10 oxygen.
Right side: 1 copper, 2 hydrogen, 4 nitrogen and 9 oxygen.

Balancing the hydrogen, being z = 2:

Left side: 1 copper, 4 hydrogen, 4 nitrogen and 10 oxygen.
Right side: 1 copper, 4 hydrogen, 4 nitrogen and 10 oxygen.

Since you have the same amount of each element on each side of the reaction, the reaction is balanced. Then, the balanced equation is:

Cu + 4 HNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 NO + 2 H₂O

Finally:

v= 1
w= 4
x= 1
y= 2
z=2

The representative particle for zinc is the

balandron [24]

Answer: Option B) Atom

Explanation:

An atom is the simplest particle of an element that can retain all the chemical properties of the element, and therefore take part in a chemical reaction.

Thus, an atom of zinc (Zn) represent fully the entire properties of elemental Zinc. For instance: an atom of zinc has a mass of 65.38g.

A rubber ball is held 4.0 m above a concave spherical mirror with a radius of curvature of 1.5 m. At time equals zero, the ball

exis [7]

The time elapsed when the ball placed above the concave mirror and the image formed would be at the same location is 0.55 s.

<h3>Image distance</h3>

The position of the image formed is determined using the followimg mirror formula;

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{v} + \frac{1}{u}$

where;

f is the focal length of the mirror
v is the image distance
u is the object distance

f = R/2

f = 1.5/2

f = 0.75 m

When the ball and its image is in the same position, u = v

The position of the ball is calculated as;

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{u} \\\\\frac{1}{f} = \frac{2}{u} \\\\u = 2f\\\\u = 2(0.75)\\\\u = 1.5 \ m$

<h3>Time of motion of the ball</h3>

The time taken for the ball to travel the caluclated distance is determined as;

h = ut + ¹/₂gt²

1.5 = 0 + ¹/₂(9.8)t²

1.5 = 4.9t²

t² = 1.5/4.9

t² = 0.306

t = 0.55 s

Thus, the time elapsed when the ball and its image are at the same location is 0.55 s.

2. Determine the total pressure of a gas mixture that contains O2, N2, and He, if the partial

Burka [1]

Answer:

978mmHg

Explanation:

The total pressure of a gas mixture is defined as the sum of the pressure of each gas in the mixture.

If the mixture of gases you have 200mmHg for O₂, 350mmHg for N₂ and 428mmHg for He, total pressure of the mixture is:

200mmHg + 350mmHg + 428mmHg = 978mmHg
