Answer:

The coefficient for PH3 is 8. Option D is correct.

Explanation:

Step 1: The unbalanced equation

P2H4(g) ⇆ PH3(g) + P4(s)

Step 2: Balancing the equation

P2H4(g) ⇆ PH3(g) + P4(s)

On the left side we have 4x H (in P2H4), on the right side we have 3x H (in PH3). To balance the amount of H on both sides, we have to multiply P2H4 on the left side by 3 and PH3 on the right by 4.

3P2H4(g ) ⇆ 4PH3(g) + P4(s)

On the left side we have 6x P (in 3P2H4) on the right side we have 8x P (4x in 4PH3 and 4x in P4). To balance the amount of P on bot hsides, we have to multiply 3P2H4 by 2 and 4PH3 also by 2. Now the equation is balanced

6P2H4(g ) ⇆ 8PH3(g) + P4(s)

The coefficient for PH3 is 8. Option D is correct.

How many moles are in 281 g of Ca(OH)2?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

3.79 moles

Explanation:

To convert moles to gams of a substance we need to find the molar mass of the substance. For Ca(OH)₂ th molar mass is:

1Ca = 40.08g/mol

2O = 2*16g/mol = 32g/mol

2H = 2*1.01g/mol = 2.02g/mol

The molar mass is:

40.08g/mol + 32g/mol + 2.02g/mol = <em>74.1g/mol</em>

<em />

And moles are:

281g * (1mol / 74.1g) =

How long would it take for Hydrogen Peroxide to break down naturally (without an enzyme)
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Hydrogen peroxide is a very pale blue liquid at room temperature. A French scientist called Louis Auguste Thenard discovered the compound in 1818. Hydrogen peroxide can easily break down, or decompose, into water and oxygen by breaking up into two very reactive parts – either 2OHs or an H and HO2:

Calculate the ΔG°rxn using the following information at 298K. 2 HNO3(aq) + NO(g) → 3 NO2(g) + H2O(l) ΔG°rxn = ? ΔH°f (kJ/mol) -2
Mkey [24]

Answer:

ΔG°rxn = +50.8 kJ/mol

Explanation:

It is possible to obtain ΔG°rxn of a reaction at certain temperature from ΔH°rxn and S°rxn, thus:

<em>ΔG°rxn = ΔH°rxn - T×S°rxn (1)</em>

In the reaction:

2 HNO3(aq) + NO(g) → 3 NO2(g) + H2O(l)

ΔH°rxn = 3×ΔHfNO2 + ΔHfH2O - (2×ΔHfHNO3 + ΔHfNO)

ΔH°rxn = 3×33.2kJ/mol + (-285.8kJ/mol) - (2×-207.0kJ/mol + 91.3kJ/mol)}

ΔH°rxn = 136.5kJ/mol

And S°:

S°rxn = 3×S°NO2 + S°H2O - (2×S°HNO3 + S°NO)

ΔH°rxn = 3×0.2401kJ/molK + (0.0700kJ/molK) - (2×0.146kJ/molK + 0.2108kJ/molK)

ΔH°rxn = 0.2875kJ/molK

And replacing in (1) at 298K:

ΔG°rxn = 136.5kJ/mol - 298K×0.2875kJ/molK

<em>ΔG°rxn = +50.8 kJ/mol</em>
