Hey there!

We know that a chemical reaction is balanced when there is the same amount of each element on both sides of the equation.

According to the law of conservation of mass, matter cannot be created or destroyed, so we must have the same amount of each element on each side of a chemical equation.

We count the amount of each element on each side, and the products should have the same number as the reactants.

Hope this helps!

How many mg of O2 will react with the TNT?

Tanzania [10]

TNT has the molecular formula: C7H5N3O6. And hence, when reacted in oxygen gas, you get what is known as combustion reaction. the reaction is: C7H5N3O6+O2→CO2+N2+H2O

By titration, it is found that 31.7 mL of 0.145 M NaOH(aq) is needed to neutralize 25.0 mL of HCl(aq). Calculate the concentrati

arlik [135]

Answer:

0.184 M

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

HCl + NaOH —> NaCl + H2O

From the balanced equation above, the following data were obtained:

Mole ratio of the acid, HCl (nA) = 1

Mole ratio of the base, NaOH (nB) = 1

Next, the data obtained from the question. This includes:

Volume of the base, NaOH (Vb) = 31.7 mL Molarity of the base, NaOH (Mb) = 0.145 M

Volume of the acid, HCl (Va) = 25.0 mL

Molarity of the acid, HCl (Ma) =?

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the acid (HCl) as shown below:

MaVa /MbVb = nA/nB

Ma × 25 / 0.145 × 31.7 = 1

Cross multiply

Ma × 25 = 0.145 × 31.7

Ma × 25 = 4.5965

Divide both side by 25

Ma = 4.5965 / 25

Ma = 0.184 M

Therefore, the molarity of the acid (HCl) is 0.184 M

1 mole = 1000 millimoles (mmol); 1millimole = 1000 micromoles (µmol). if a solution contains 38231 µmol, what is that amount in

Mrrafil [7]

1 mmol --------------------- 1000 µmol
( mmol ) -------------------- 38231 µmol

mmol = 38231*1 / 1000

mmol = 38231/ 1000

=> 38.231 mmol

Why is a quantitative observation more useful than a non- quantitative one? Which of the following are quantitative?

daser333 [38]

A quantitative observation is not necessarily more useful than a non-quantitative one. However, quantitative observations do allow one to ﬁnd trends.

(a), the sun rising is a non-quantitative observation.

(b), knowledge of the numerical relationship between the weight on the Moon and on Earth, is a quantitative observation.

(c), watching ice ﬂoat on water does not involve a measurement; therefore, it must be a qualitative observation.

(d) the fact that we know that the water pump won’t work for depths more than 34 feet makes it quantitative. Again, seeing numbers is a giveaway that it’s a quantitative observation. Quantitative is where you deal with numbers.
