Answer:

General chemical equation

          2 M + 3 X₂ → 2 MX₃

Explanation:

When metal reacts with halogens metal halide as a product obtained.

Now oxidation state of metal assume (+3)

and oxidation state  for halogen = (+1)

So formula of the metal halide is (MX₃)

           Denote the metal as M and halogen as X

                    the balanced chemical equation

                         2 M + 3 X₂ → 2 MX₃

So the resulted general equation when metal react with halogen is

                                       2 M + 3 X₂ → 2 MX₃

Complete and balance the following neutralization reaction Ca(OH)2 + H2SO4
Debora [2.8K]

Answer: Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ---------->  CaSO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Explanation:

Since this is a neutralization reaction, the end product would be salt and water. In this equation Calcium will displace hydrogen from the acid because it is more reactive, resulting in the formation of CaSO4 (salt), while the displaced H2 molecule combines with OH molecules to form water.

The equation of the reaction is thus;

Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ---------->  CaSO4(aq) + H2O(l), in other to balance it, we add ''2'' to the water molecule in the right hand side of the equation.

Balance equation is  

Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ---------->  CaSO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

aksik [14]

The question requires us to draw the structural formula, provide the name and highlight any functional groups for the compound: diethyl ether.

The molecule diethyl ether can be represented as it follows, with two ethyl groups (-CH2CH3) bonded to a oxygen atom:

Note that the functional group ether (R-O-R) is present in the structre and highlighted in blue in the image. The official name of diethyl ether is ethoxyethane.

What assumptions do we make in order to use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation? a. Both the weak acid and its conjugate base are
zepelin [54]

Answer:

The final and initial concentration of the acid and it's conjugate base are approximately equal, that is we use the weak acid approximation.

Explanation:

The Henderson-Hasselbalch is used to calculate the pH of a buffer solution. It depends on the weak acid approximation.

Since the weak acid ionizes only to a small extent, then we can say that [HA] ≈ [HA]i

Where [HA] = final concentration of the acid and [HA]i = initial concentration of the acid.

It also follows that [A^-] ≈ [A^-]i where [A^-] and[A^-]i refer to final and initial concentrations of the conjugate base hence the answer above.
