LHS

Mg= 1

H= 1

Cl= 1

RHS

Mg= 1

Cl=2

H=2

To make Cl and H have 2 on both sides, we place a 2 in front of the HCl

LHS

Mg=1, H=2, Cl=2

RHS

Mg=1, H=1, Cl=2

Thus the equation is balanced and the coefficient of Mg is 1, which is understood so it is not written in the final equation.

what happens to the radius of the atoms of an element as you go towards the right in a row of the periodic table ?

Olegator [25]

Answer:

It decreases

Explanation:

As one moves from left to right on the periodic table, the radius of atoms reduces due to the nuclear pull.

The size of an atom estimated by the atomic radius is taken as half of the internuclear distance between the two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements.
Across a period, atomic radius decreases progressively from left to right.
This is due to the increasing nuclear charge without attendant increase in the number of electronic shell.

Consider the combustion of octane (C8H18)

sesenic [268]

The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2C₈H₁₈ + 25O₂ ---> 16CO₂ + 18H₂O
stoichiometry of octane to CO₂ is 2:16
number of C₈H₁₈ moles reacted - 191.6 g / 114 g/mol = 1.68 mol
when 2 mol of octane reacts it forms 16 mol of CO₂
therefore when 1.68 mol of octane reacts - it forms 16/2 x 1.68 = 13.45 mol of CO₂
number of CO₂ moles formed - 13.45 mol
therefore mass of CO₂ formed - 13.45 mol x 44 g/mol = 591.8 g
mass of CO₂ formed is 591.8 g

an engineer wishes to design a container that will hold 12.0 mol of ethane at a pressure no greater than 5.00x10*2 kPa and a tem

OleMash [197]

Answer:

The minimum volume of the container is 0.0649 cubic meters, which is the same as 64.9 liters.

Explanation:

Assume that ethane behaves as an ideal gas under these conditions.

By the ideal gas law,

$P\cdot V = n\cdot R\cdot T$ ,

$\displaystyle V = \frac{n\cdot R\cdot T}{P}$ .

where

$P$ is the pressure of the gas,
$V$ is the volume of the gas,
$n$ is the number of moles of particles in this gas,
$R$ is the ideal gas constant, and
$T$ is the absolute temperature of the gas (in degrees Kelvins.)

The numerical value of $R$ will be $8.314$ if $P$ , $V$ , and $T$ are in SI units. Convert these values to SI units:

$P =\rm 5.00\times 10^{2}\;kPa = 5.00\times 10^{2}\times 10^{3}\; Pa = 5.00\times 10^{5}\; Pa$ ;
$V$ shall be in cubic meters, $\rm m^{3}$ ;
$T = \rm 52.0 \textdegree C = (52.0 + 273.15)\; K = 325.15\; K$ .

Apply the ideal gas law:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}V &= \frac{n\cdot R\cdot T}{P}\\ &= \frac{12.0\times 8.314\times 325.15}{5.00\times 10^{5}}\\ &= \rm 0.0649\; m^{3} \\ &= \rm (0.0649\times 10^{3})\; L \\ &=\rm 64.9\; L\end{aligned}$ .

What is the mass of a sample of metal that is heated from 58.8°C to 88.9°C with a

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 333 \ grams}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the mass of a sample of metal. We are given temperatures, specific heat, and joules of heat, so we will use the following formula.

$Q= mc \Delta T$

The heat added is 4500.0 Joules. The mass of the sample is unknown. The specific heat is 0.4494 Joules per gram degree Celsius. The difference in temperature is found by subtracting the initial temperature from the final temperature.

ΔT= final temperature - initial temperature

The sample was heated <em>from </em> 58.8 degrees Celsius to 88.9 degrees Celsius.

ΔT= 88.9 °C - 58.8 °C = 30.1 °C

Now we know three variables:

Q= 4500.0 J
c= 0.4494 J/g°C
ΔT = 30.1 °C

Substitute these values into the formula.

$4500.0 \ J = m (0.4494 \ J/g \textdegree C)(30.1 \textdegree C)$

Multiply on the right side of the equation. The units of degrees Celsius cancel.

$4500.0 \ J = m (13.52694 J/g)$

We are solving for the mass, so we must isolate the variable m. It is being multiplied by 13.52694 Joules per gram. The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by 13.52694 J/g

$\frac {4500.0 \ J }{13.52694 J/g}= \frac{m (13.52694 J/g)}{13.52694 J/g}$

The units of Joules cancel.

$\frac {4500.0 \ J }{13.52694 J/g}= m$

$332.6694729 \ g =m$

The original measurements have 5,4, and 3 significant figures. Our answer must have the least number or 3. For the number we found, that is the ones place. The 6 in the tenth place tells us to round the 2 up to a 3.

$333 \ g \approx m$

The mass of the sample of metal is approximately <u>333 grams.</u>
