What volume of a 3.0 M stock solution of H2SO4 is needed to prepare 2.8 L of a 1.6 M H2SO4 solution?

Georgia [21]

Use M1V1 = M2V2 to solve
3(V1) = 2.8 * 1.6
3(V1) = 4.48
V1 = 1.493 L of stock solution

Ammonia and oxygen react to produce nitric oxide and water. Which of the following chemical equations describes this reaction an

aksik [14]

Answer:

Option B. 4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) —> 4NO(g) + 6H2O(g)

Explanation:

The reaction between ammonia, NH3 and oxygen, O2, will produce nitric oxide and water as shown below:

NH3(g) + O2(g) —> NO(g) + H2O(g)

Now, let us balance the equation.

This is illustrated below:

NH3(g) + O2(g) —> NO(g) + H2O(g)

There are 3 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of NH3 and 6 in front of H2O as shown below:

4NH3(g) + O2(g) —> NO(g) + 6H2O(g)

There are 4 atoms of N on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of NO as shown below:

4NH3(g) + O2(g) —> 4NO(g) + 6H2O(g)

Now, the are 2 atoms of O on the left side and a total of 10 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 5 in front of O2 as shown below:

4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) —> 4NO(g) + 6H2O(g)

Now, we can see that the equation is balanced.

Therefore, option B gives the balanced chemical equation for the reaction.

Consider the molecules: scl2, f2, cs2, cf4, and brcl. select the choice where the bonds of the molecules are arranged in order o

elena-s [515]

The polarity of a bond depends on the difference in electronegativities of the atoms involved in bonding. Greater this difference, greater is the polarity

1) In SCl2 we have the S-Cl bond

Electronegativity values: S = 2.5, Cl = 3

Difference = 3.0 -2.5 = 0.5

2) In F2 we have the F-F bond

Electronegativity value: F = 4.0

Difference = 4.0-4.0 = 0

3) In CS2 we have the C-S bond

Electronegativity value: C = 2.5, S = 2.5

Difference = 2.5 -2.5 = 0

4) In CF4 we have the C-F bond

Electronegativity values: C = 2.5, F = 4.0

Difference = 4.0 -2.5 = 1.5

5) In BrCl we have the Br-Cl bond

Electronegativity values: Br = 2.8, Cl = 3

Difference = 3.0 -2.8 = 0.2

Therefore, the increasing order of polarity is

F2 = CS2 < BrCl < SCl2 < CF4
