How to write a balanced chemical equation from empirical formula?

8 0

Let's use the example: H2O ---> H2 + O2
We find how many elements of a product are on one side and how many elements on the other side.
Reactant: H=2 O=1
Product: H=2 O=2
We need to make the same amount of hydrogen and oxegyn atoms on each side, regardless of how high the numbers are, and we do this by adding coefficients to the compounds.

Reactant: H=4 O=2
Product : H=4 O=2
2 H2O---> 2 H2 + O2

Is mountain lions a herbivore

Mountain lion have to hunt other animals up in the Mountains. Other animals are meat. Therefore mountain lions are carnivores, not herbivores.

I hope this helped!
If it did I would like it if I got brainliest :)

What is the approximate bond angle around the central carbon atom in acrolein?

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The approximate bond angle around the central carbon atom in acrolein is 120°.

Explanation:

The structure of acrolein is shown in the attachment. From the structure, we can deduce that the central carbon atom is in an sp2 hybridization (Atoms with a double bond hybridize in an sp2 fashion).

Atoms with sp2 hybridization have trigonal planar geometry, in this kind of hybridization, bonds are oriented the farthest away possible from each other, to minimize overlapping and the angle that allows that is 120°.

For the reaction PC15 (8) PC13 (g) + Cl2 (g) K = 0.0454 at 261 °C. If a vessel is filled with these gases such that the initial

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

The $K_{eq}$ is samller than $Q$ of the reaction . So,the reaction will shift towards the left i.e. towards the reactant side.

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as $K_{eq}$

K is the constant of a certain reaction when it is in equilibrium, while Q is the quotient of activities of products and reactants at any stage other than equilibrium of a reaction.

For the given chemical reaction:

$PCl_5(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)$
