For the balanced equation shown below, if 84.7 grams of H2S were reacted with 78.4 grams of O2, how many grams of H2O would be p
Klio2033 [76]
The mass  of  water  is  calculated  as   follows

  find  the  moles  of   each  reagent

that   is   moles =   mass/molar  mass

for  H2s  =  84.7/   34=   2.485  moles
      O2  =  78.4  /   32  =  2.45  moles

since    2  moles  of  H2S  react   with  3  moles  of O2  therefore  2.45  moles   of  oxygen  will  be  used  up  therefore  O2  is  the    limiting   reagent   and  H2S  is  in  excess

2H2S  +  3O2  ----->2So2   +  2H2O

by  use  of   mole   ratio  between  O2  and   H20   which  is  3:2  the   moles of  H2O  is  therefore  =  2.45 x2/3= 1.63  moles  of H2O

mass  of H2O  =  moles   x  molar  mass

=  1.63  g  x  18g/mol  =  29.4   g

How will you describe the pathway of oxygen in the breathing system?
QveST [7]
<span>Air enters through the nose or mouth (which join to form the nasopharyngeal cavity). The air travels through the trachea which and the trachea splits into two bronchi. The air travels through the bronchi which split into smaller and smaller bronchioles. The tiny bronchioles and the air ends up in the miniscule alveoli, where the oxygen in the air diffuse into the bloodstream. Carbon dioxide diffuse from the bloodstream into the alveoli and the unwanted gas travels in reverse back to the nose and mouth, where it is breathed out.</span>

When KCl dissolves in water:
34kurt

This dissociation occur because:

O had to bond with H due to the Hydrogen bonding rule, which will form OH~ (Hydroxide).

K is more attracted to Hydroxide than Cl, so it will depart Cl and bond with OH~.

that leaves a H and a Cl, which one has a positive charge and the other has a negative, so they will bond and form Hydrochloric Acid.
