Answer:

2K (s) + Cl₂ (g) ⇒ 2KCl (s)

Explanation:

Potassium and chlorine gas combine to form potassium chloride which is an ionic compound. The reaction is a type of combination reaction in which chlorine is being added to the metal, potassium.

Potassium reacts violently with the chlorine which is yellowish green in color to produce white solid of potassium chloride.

The balanced reaction is shown below as:

2K (s) + Cl₂ (g) ⇒ 2KCl (s)

A solution contains an unknown amount of dissolved magnesium. Addition of
Scrat [10]

Taking into account the reaction stoichiometry, 2.13 grams of magnesium was dissolved in the solution.

<h3>Reaction stoichiometry</h3>

In first place, the balanced reaction is:

Mg²⁺(aq) + Na₂CO₃(aq) → MgCO₃(s) + 2 Na⁺(aq)

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • Mg²⁺: 1 mole
  • Na₂CO₃: 1  mole
  • MgCO₃: 1 mole
  • Na⁺: 2 moles

The molar mass of the compounds is:

  • Mg²⁺: 24.3 g/mole
  • Na₂CO₃: 106 g/mole
  • MgCO₃: 84.3 g/mole
  • Na⁺: 23 g/mole

Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • Mg²⁺: 1 mole ×24.3 g/mole= 24.3 grams
  • Na₂CO₃: 1 mole ×106 g/mole= 106 grams
  • MgCO₃: 1 mole ×84.3 g/mole=84.3 grams
  • Na⁺: 2 moles ×23 g/mole= 46 grams

<h3>Mass of magnesium dissolved</h3>

The following rule of three can be applied: If by reaction stoichiometry 1 mole of Na₂CO₃ react with 24.3 grams of magnesium, 0.0877 moles of Na₂CO₃ react with how much mass of magnesium?

mass of magnesium=\frac{0.0877 moles of Na_{2}C O_{3}x24.3 grams of magnesium }{1 mole of Na_{2}C O_{3}}

<u><em>mass of magnesium= 2.13 grams</em></u>

Finally, 2.13 grams of magnesium was dissolved in the solution.

Compounds like CCl₂F₂ are known as chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs. These compounds were once widely used as refrigerants but are n
natta225 [31]

Answer: Mass Of CFC that needs to evaporate for the freezing of water = 328.24 g

Explanation: Heat gained by the CFC = Heat lost by water

Heat lost by water = Heat required to take water's temperature to 0°c + Heat required to freeze water at 0°c

Heat required to take water's temperature from 33°c to 0°c = mCΔT

m = 201g, C = 4.18 J/(gK), ΔT = 33

mCΔT = 201 × 4.18 × 33 = 27725.94 J

Heat required to freeze water at 0°c = mL

m = 201g, L = 334 J/g

mL = 201 × 334 = 67134 J

Heat gained by CFC to vaporize = mH = 27725.94 + 67134 = 94859.94 J

H = 289 J/g, m = ?

m × 289 = 94859.9

m = 328.24 g

The formula for water is H20. What does the formula H2O tell us about the composition<br> of water?
Llana [10]
H2O is the chemical formula of water. It means that each molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen atoms, indicated by the letter H, and a single oxygen atom, represented by the O. Water is a chemical substance with no smell, taste, or color.
