How to write a balanced chemical equation from empirical formula?

1 answer:

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

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Carbon tetrachloride can be produced by the following reaction:

$CS_2(g)+3Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons S_2Cl_2(g)+CCl_4(g)$

Suppose 1.20 mol $CS_2(g)$ of and 3.60 mol of $Cl_2(g)$ were placed in a 1.00-L flask at an unknown temperature. After equilibrium has been achieved, the mixture contains 0.72 mol of $CCl_4$ . Calculate equilibrium constant at the unknown temperature.

Answer: The equilibrium constant at unknown temperature is 0.36

Explanation:

Moles of $CS_2$ = 1.20 mole

Moles of $Cl_2$ = 3.60 mole

Volume of solution = 1.00 L

Initial concentration of $CS_2$ = $\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{1.20mol}{1L}=1.20M$

Initial concentration of $Cl_2$ = $\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{3.60mol}{1L}=3.60M$

The given balanced equilibrium reaction is,

$CS_2(g)+3Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons S_2Cl_2(g)+CCl_4(g)$

Initial conc. 1.20 M 3.60 M 0 0

At eqm. conc. (1.20-x) M (3.60-3x) M (x) M (x) M

The expression for equilibrium constant for this reaction will be,

$K_c=\frac{[S_2Cl_2]\times [CCl_4]}{[Cl_2]^3[CS_2]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get :

$K_c=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(3.60-3x)^3\times (1.20-x)}$

Given :Equilibrium concentration of $CCl_4$ , x = $\frac{moles}{volume}=\frac{0.72mol}{1L}=0.72M$

$K_c=\frac{(0.72)\times (0.72)}{(3.60-3\times 0.72)^3\times (1.20-0.72)}$

$K_c=0.36$

Thus equilibrium constant at unknown temperature is 0.36

why do you think you can find silver and gold on their own in rocks but calcium and magnesium are combined with other elements t

katrin [286]

Explanation:

Silver and Gold belong to a special group of metals known as the native metals. They are found naturally on their own and not in combined form in rocks.

These metals are found uncombined because they are unreactive.
They prefer to alloy with themselves.
Calcium and magnesium on the other hand are reactive metals.
The unreactivity of these metals makes them uncombined in nature.

Answer:

Use the Bromotriflouride catalyst, BF₃

Explanation:

The BF₃ is most likely to yield less desired side products. The effect lies in the reaction mechanism.

BF₃ is a Lewis acid. Its role is to promote the ionization of the HF. This is achieved through the electrophilic mechanism. The reaction mechanism is as follows:

2 - methylpropene + H-F-BF₃ → H-F + H₃C + benzene

butylbenzene + F-BF₃ → tert-butylbenzene + H-F + BF₃ (regenerated catalyst)
