Answer:

The coefficient of Ca(OH)2 is 1

Explanation:

Step 1: unbalanced equation

Ca(OH)2 + HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

Step 2: Balancing the equation

On the right side we have 2x N (in Ca(NO3)2 ) and 1x N on the left side (in HNO3). To balance the amount of N on both sides, we have to multiply HNO3 by 2.

Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 → Ca(NO3)2 + H2O

On the left side we have 4x H (2xH in Ca(OH)2 and 2x H in HNO3), on the right side we have 2x H (in H2O). To balance the amount of H on both sides, we have to multiply H2O on the right side, by 2.

Now the equationis balanced.

Ca(OH)2 + 2HNO3 = Ca(NO3)2 + 2H2O

The coefficient of Ca(OH)2 is 1

Answer:

2.68 cm^3

Explanation:

Density= Mass/Volume

so...

8.96 g/cm^3 = 24.01 g/ V

and then u solve so it would be 2.68 cm ^3

A molecule of pentane is made of 5 carbon atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms. a collection of pentane molecules has 3.01 x 1024 carbon
Novay_Z [31]

3.01 Ă— 10^24 Ă— (12/5) hydrogen atoms  
Looking at the formula for the molecule, the ratio of carbon to hydrogen atoms is 5:12, so if we divide the number of carbon atoms by 5 and then multiply by 12, we can find the number of hydrogen atoms. Let's look at the available options and see what makes sense.  
3.01 Ă— 10^24 Ă— (12/5) hydrogen atoms 
* This is exactly correct.  
(3.01 Ă— 10^24 / 5) hydrogen atoms 
* Nope. This will tell you how many pentane MOLECULES you have, but not the number of hydrogen atoms.  
3.01 Ă— 10^24 Ă— (5/12) hydrogen atoms 
* Close, but the ratio (5/12) will tell you the number of carbon atoms you have if you give it the number of hydrogen atoms. So this choice is wrong.  
3.01 Ă— 10^24 Ă— 12 hydrogen atoms description 
* This would tell you the number of hydrogen atoms you have if you know the number of pentane molecules you have. So this choice is also wrong.

What is the limiting reagent when a 2.00 g sample of ammonia is mixed with 4.00 g of oxygen?​
UNO [17]

Answer:

Ammonia is limiting reactant

Amount of oxygen left  = 0.035 mol

Explanation:

Masa of ammonia = 2.00 g

Mass of oxygen = 4.00 g

Which is limiting reactant = ?

Balance chemical equation:

4NH₃ + 3O₂     →     2N₂ + 6H₂O

Number of moles of ammonia:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 2.00 g/ 17 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.12 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.00 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.125 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia and oxygen with water and nitrogen.

                      NH₃          :            N₂

                        4             :             2

                      0.12           :           2/4×0.12 = 0.06

                      NH₃         :            H₂O

                        4            :             6

                        0.12       :           6/4×0.12 = 0.18

                       

                       O₂            :            N₂

                        3             :             2

                      0.125        :           2/3×0.125 = 0.08

                        O₂           :            H₂O

                        3              :             6

                        0.125       :           6/3×0.125 = 0.25

The number of moles of water and nitrogen formed by ammonia are less thus ammonia will be limiting reactant.

Amount of oxygen left:

                        NH₃          :             O₂

                           4            :              3

                           0.12       :          3/4×0.12= 0.09

Amount of oxygen react = 0.09 mol

Amount of oxygen left  = 0.125 - 0.09 = 0.035 mol

Which type of reactions form salts?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Neutralization reactions are the reactions type which form salts.

Explanation:

Salts are formed by ionic bonds when the oxidation states of anions and cations are equal and have opposite signs. So one should be highly electronegative in nature and another should be highly electropositive in nature. So the electropositive element will be ready to give electrons and the electronegative element will be ready to accept all the electrons given by the electropositive element. As a whole the compound will be neutrally charged by adding of equal number of positively charged and negatively charged ions.

The reduction or addition of electrons will be occurring in cations and the oxidation or removal of electrons will be occurring in anions.

So the salt formation is based on neutralization reactions.
