Write the balanced chemical equation for the following reaction. Phases are optional. Solid calcium chlorate decomposes to form

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Explanation:

1) Word equation (given)

calcium chlorate (solid) → solid calcium chloride (solid) + oxygen (gas)

2) Chemical formulae of the reactant and products:

Calcium chlorate:

The most common oxidation states of chlorine are -1, +1, +3, +5, +7.

The suffix ate in chlorate means that chlorine atom is with the third lowest oxidation state (counting only the positive states). So, this is +5.

The oxidation state of calcium is +2.

Hence, the chemical formula of calcium chlorate is Ca(ClO₃)₂

Calcium chloride

The suffix ide in chloride means that chlorine is with oxidation state -1. Again the oxidation state of calcium is +2.

Hence, the chemical formula of calcium chloride is CaCl₂

Oxygen

Oxygen gas is a diatomic molecule, so its chemical formula is O₂.

Phases

The symbols s and g (in parenthesis) indicate the solid and gas phases respectively.

3) Chemical equation:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + O₂ (g)

That equation is not balanced becasue the number of O atoms in the reactant side and in the product side are different.

4) Balanced chemical equation:

Add a 3 as coefficient in front of O₂(g), in the product side to balance:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Verify that all the atoms are balanced:

Atom Reactant side Product side

Ca 1 1

Cl 2 2

O 3×2 = 6 2×3 = 6

Conclusion: the equation is balanced and the final answer is:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Biological oxidation-reduction reactions always involve:

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

b. transfer of electron(s).

Explanation:

An oxidation-reduction also called a redox reaction is a

chemical reaction in which electrons are transferred of between two species of reactants. It is a chemical reaction where the oxidation number of an atom, ion, or molecule, increases or decreases by losing or gaining electrons

What would be the total volume of the new solution when it is changed from 0.2 M to 0.04 M?

34kurt

The question is incomplete.

You need two additional data:

1) the original volume
2) what solution you added to change the volume.

This is a molarity problem, so remember molarity definition and formula:

M = n / V in liters: number of moles per liter of solution

To give you the key to answer this kind of questions, supppose the original volumen was 1 ml and that you added only water (solvent).

The original solution was:

V= 1 ml
M = 0.2 M

Using the formula for molarity, M = n / V

n = M×V = 0.2 M × (1 / 10000)l = 0.0002 moles

For the final solution:

n = 0.0002 moles
M = 0.04

From M = n / V ⇒ V = n / M = 0.002 moles / 0.04 M = 0.05 l

Change to ml ⇒ 0.05 l × 1000 ml / l = 50 ml. This would be the answer for the hypothetical problem that I assumed for you.

I hope this gives you all the cues you need to answer similar problems about molarity.

Answer:

4.4×10² cm³

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Diameter (d) = 68.3 mm

Height (h) = 0.120 m

Volume (V) =?

Next, we shall convert the diameter (i.e 68.3 mm) to cm.

This can be obtained as follow:

10 mm = 1 cm

Therefore

68.3 mm = 68.3 mm / 10 mm × 1 cm

68.3 mm = 6.83 cm

Therefore, the diameter 68.3 mm is equivalent 6.83 cm.

Next, we shall convert the height (i.e 0.120 m) to cm. This can be obtained as follow:

1 m = 100 cm

Therefore,

0.120 m = 0.120 m/ 1 m × 100 cm

0.120 m = 12 cm

Therefore, the height 0.120 m is equivalent 12 cm.

Next, we shall determine the radius of the cylinder. This can be obtained as follow:

Radius (r) is simply half of a diameter i.e

Radius (r) = Diameter (d) /2

r = d/2

Diameter (d) = 6.83 cm

Radius (r) =?

r = d/2

r = 6.83/2

r = 3.415 cm

Finally, we shall determine the volume of the cylinder as follow:

Radius (r) = 3.415 cm

Height (h) = 12 cm

Volume (V) =?

Pi (π) = 3.14

V = πr²h

V = 3.14 × (3.415) ² × 12

V = 440 cm³

V = 4.4×10² cm³

Therefore, the volume of the cylinder is 4.4×10² cm³
