Answer:

For 1: The small 2 next to nitrogen atom is subscript.

For 2: The large 2 in front of nitrogen atom is coefficient.

For 3: The correct answer is atoms.

Explanation:

Coefficients are defined as the numbers that are written in the front of atoms or molecules during a chemical reaction. They represent the number of moles of the substance present in a chemical reaction.

Subscript numbers are defined as the number of atoms of each element present in a compound.

Superscript numbers are defined as the charges of ions reacting in a chemical reaction.

For 1:

The chemical formula for nitrogen molecule given to us is $N_2$

Here, the small 2 next to nitrogen atom is subscript.

For 2:

The chemical formula for 2 moles of nitrogen molecule given to us is $2N_2$

Here, the large 2 in front of nitrogen atom is coefficient.

For 3:

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side. It can also be said that total number of individual atom on the reactant side is equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

Hence, the correct answer is atoms.

1. Subscript is below
2. Coefficient large 2 indicates the number of moles
3. Atoms
1/2 O2 + H2 —> H2O
It’s the atoms that balance on each side
Notes that 1/2 is the coefficient and 2 is the subscript in H2 and H2O

What mass of potassium hypochlorite (FW-90.6 g/mol) must be added to 4.50 x 10 mL of water to give a solution with pH 10.20? [Ka

marta [7]

Answer : The mass of potassium hypochlorite is, 4.1 grams.

Explanation : Given,

pH = 10.20

Volume of water = $4.50\times 10^2ml=0.45L$

The decomposition of KClO will be :

$KClO\rightarrow K^++ClO^-$

Now the further reaction with water $(H_2O)$ to give,

$ClO^-+H_2O\rightarrow HClO+OH^-$

First we have to calculate the pOH.

$pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-10.20=3.8$

Now we have to calculate the $OH^-$ concentration.

$pOH=-\log [OH^-]$

$3.8=-\log [OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=1.58\times 10^{-4}M$

Now we have to calculate the base dissociation constant.

Formula used : $K_b=\frac{K_w}{K_a}$

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

$K_b=\frac{1.0\times 10^{-14}}{4.0\times 10^{-8}}=2.5\times 10^{-7}$

Now we have to calculate the concentration of $ClO^-$ .

The equilibrium constant expression of the reaction is:

$K_b=\frac{[OH^-][HClO]}{[ClO^-]}$

As we know that, $[OH^-]=[HClO]=1.58\times 10^{-4}M$

$2.5\times 10^{-7}=\frac{(1.58\times 10^{-4})^2}{[ClO^-]}$

$[ClO^-]=0.0999M$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $ClO^-$ .

$\text{Moles of }ClO^-=\text{Molarity of }ClO^-\times \text{Volume of solution}$

$\text{Moles of }ClO^-=0.0999mole/L\times 0.45L=0.0449mole$

As we know that, the number of moles of $ClO^-$ are equal to the number of moles of KClO.

So, the number of moles of KClO = 0.0449 mole

Now we have to calculate the mass of KClO.

$\text{Mass of }KClO=\text{Moles of }KClO\times \text{Molar mass of }KClO$

$\text{Mass of }KClO=0.0449mole\times 90.6g/mole=4.07g\approx 4.1g$

Therefore, the mass of potassium hypochlorite is, 4.1 grams.

What will be the pressure of 2.00 mol of an ideal gas at a temperature of 20.5 degrees Celsius and a volume of 62.3L?

erastova [34]

.774atm

First, look at what you have and look at the equations you can use to solve this problem. The best equation would be PV=nRT.

P being pressure, V being volume, n being moles, R being the gas constant, and T being temperature.

Before you start doing any of the math, make sure of two things. Since you're looking for pressure, you'll need a gas constant. When I did the problem, I used the gas constant of atm or atmospheres which is .0821.

Also! Remember to always convert celsius into kelvin, to do this, add 273 to the given celsius degree. After this is all set and done, your equation should look like this:

P = $\frac{2 x .0821 x 293.5}{62.3}$

The reason that the equation is divided by the volume is due to the fact that you need to isolate the variable or pressure.

Multiply everything on the top and divide by the bottom and you should receive the final answer of .774atm.

Hope this helps!
