Can each polyatomic ion be treated as a unit when balancing the chemical equation

Chemistry

Yes. You can either treat the entire polyatomic ion as a unit or separate the elements in the polyatomic ion. Pay attention the parentheses and subscripts, though. Those can confuse people a lot. I personally find it easier to just treat it as a whole unit.

A piston contains 0.39L of air at 1.0 atm. If the pressure on the piston is increased to 5.6 atm, what is the new volume?
bazaltina [42]

The new volume : 0.07 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Boyle's Law  

At a constant temperature, the gas volume is inversely proportional to the pressure applied  

\rm p_1V_1=p_2.V_2\\\\\dfrac{p_1}{p_2}=\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}

P₁=1 atm

V₁=0.39 L

P₂=5.6 atm

\tt V_2=\dfrac{P_1.V_1}{P_2}\\\\V_2=\dfrac{1\times 0.39}{5.6}\\\\v_2=\boxed{\bold{0.07~L}}

Find the volume of an object that has a density of 3.14 g/mL and a mass of 52.9 g.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>16.8 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density}  \\

From the question

mass of object = 52.9 g

density = 3.14 g/mL

The volume of the object is

volume =  \frac{52.9}{3.14}  \\   = 16.847133757...

We have the final answer as

<h3>16.8 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you

1. Ethanol and 2,6-dimethylphenol both have hydroxyl groups that can be deprotonated by a base. Why does ethanol act as a solven
Volgvan

Anions are solvated in protic hydrogen-bonding solvents (such as ethanol). Consequently, nucleophiles are less reactive. Since soft nucleophiles are less strongly solvated than hard nucleophiles, these solvents boost the relative reactivity of soft anions.

<h3>Ethanol is either a nucleophile or a base.</h3>

The ethanol is a base  Because carbocation is an extremely reactive species, a base or nucleophile as weak as ethanol can replace or remove it. SN1 and E1 would not be conceivable without the carbocation or a strong departing group.

<h3>How do solvents impact anionic nucleophile's reactivity?</h3>

In polar aprotic solvents, nucleophilic substitution reactions of anionic nucleophiles often proceed more quickly. The normal relative reactivity order in such solvents (like DMSO)is Anions are solvated in protic hydrogen-bonding solvents (such as ethanol). Consequently, nucleophiles are less reactive.

What is the formula of this<br> inorganic salt hydrate?
barxatty [35]

Salt hydrates are an important class of PCMs. An inorganic salt hydrate (hydrated salt or hydrate) is an ionic compound in which the ions attract a number of water molecules, which are then trapped inside the crystal lattice. A hydrated salt has the generic formula MxNy. nH2O.
