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)

Lynna [10]

Answer:

3.861x10⁻⁹ mol Pb⁺²

Explanation:

We can <u>define ppm as mg of Pb²⁺ per liter of water</u>.

We<u> calculate the mass of lead ion in 100 mL of water</u>:

  • 100.0 mL ⇒ 100.0 / 1000 = 0.100 L
  • 0.100 L * 0.0080 ppm = 8x10⁻⁴ mg Pb⁺²

Now we <u>convert mass of lead to moles</u>, using its molar mass:

  • 8x10⁻⁴ mg ⇒ 8x10⁻⁴ / 1000 = 8x10⁻⁷ g
  • 8x10⁻⁷ g Pb²⁺ ÷ 207.2 g/mol = 3.861x10⁻⁹ mol Pb⁺²

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer: 448 g of O_2 will be required to completely react with 784g moles of CO(g) during this reaction.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} CO=\frac{784g}{28g/mol}=28moles

The balanced chemical equation is:

2CO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2CO_2(g)  

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of CO require  = 1 mole of O_2

Thus 28 moles of CO will require=\frac{1}{2}\times 28=14moles  of O_2

Mass of O_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=14moles\times 32g/mol=448g

Thus 448g of O_2 will be required to completely react with 784g moles of CO(g) during this reaction.
