Balance the following equation with the smallest whole number coefficients. Choose the answer that is the sum of the coefficient

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

3 RbOH + H₃PO₄ → Rb₃PO₄ + 3 H₂O

The sum of coefficients = 3 + 1 + 1 + 3 = 8

Explanation:

Balancing chemical reaction -

The atoms and molecular can never be created or destroyed , they can only be converted from one form to another .

Hence , it is important to balance a chemical reaction .

The reaction can be balanced by adding small whole numbers in the coefficient of the compounds , thereby balancing the reaction .

The reaction given in the question is as follows -

RbOH + H₃PO₄ → Rb₃PO₄ + H₂O

Now , putting respective values in order to balance out the compounds ,

Hence , the balanced reaction is -

3 RbOH + H₃PO₄ → Rb₃PO₄ + 3 H₂O

Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, C9H8O4) is a weak monoprotic acid. To determine its acid-dissociation constant, a student dissolv

Triss [41]

Answer:

1. $3.57\times 10^{-4}$ was the $K_a$ value calculated by the student.

2. $5.93\times 10^{-4}$ was the $K_b$ of ethylamine value calculated by the student.

Explanation:

The $pH$ value of Aspirin solution = 2.62

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

$[H^+]=10^{-2.62}=0.00240 M$

Moles of s asprin = $\frac{2.00 g}{180 g/mol}=0.01111 mol$

Volume of the solution = 0.600 L

The initial concentration of Aspirin = c = $\frac{0.01111 mol}{0.600 L}=0.0185 M$

$HAs\rightleftharpoons As^-+H^+$

initially

c 0 0

At equilibrium

(c-x) x x

The expression of dissociation constant :

$K_a=\frac{[As^-][H^+]}{[HAs]}$ :

$K_a=\frac{x\times x }{(c-x)}$

$=\frac{0.00240 M\times 0.00240 M}{(0.0185-0.00240 )}$

$K_a=3.57\times 10^{-4}$

$3.57\times 10^{-4}$ was the $K_a$ value calculated by the student.

The $pH$ value of ethylamine = 11.87

$pH+pOH=14$

$pOH=14-11.87=2.13$

$pOH=-\log[OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=10^{-2.13}=0.00741 M$

The initial concentration of ethylamine = c = 0.100 M

$C_2H_5NH_2+H_2O\rightleftharpoons C_2H_5NH_3^{+}+OH^-$

initially

c 0 0

At equilibrium

(c-x) x x

The expression of dissociation constant :

$K_b=\frac{[C_2H_5NH_3^{+}][OH^-]}{[C_2H_5NH_2]}$ :

$K_b=\frac{x\times x}{(c-x)}$

$=\frac{0.00741\times 0.00741}{(0.100-0.00741)}$

$K_b=5.93\times 10^{-4}$

$5.93\times 10^{-4}$ was the $K_b$ of ethylamine value calculated by the student.

What does Newton’s first law of motion state?

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is normally taken as the definition of inertia. ... If that velocity is zero, then the object remains at rest.

150 mL of 0.25 mol/L magnesium chloride solution and 150 mL of 0.35 mol/L silver nitrate solution are mixed together. After reac

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

$0.175\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ .

Explanation:

Magnesium chloride and silver nitrate reacts at a $2:1$ ratio:

$\rm MgCl_2\, (aq) + 2\, AgNO_3\, (aq) \to Mg(NO_3)_2 \, (aq) + 2\, AgCl\, (s)$ .

In reality, the nitrate ion from silver nitrate did not take part in this reaction at all. Consider the ionic equation for this very reaction:

$\begin{aligned}& \rm Mg^{2+} + 2\, Cl^{-} + 2\, Ag^{+} + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} \\&\to \rm Mg^{2+} + 2\, {NO_3}^{-} + 2\, AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

The precipitate silver chloride $\rm AgCl$ is insoluble in water and barely ionizes. Hence, $\rm AgCl\!$ isn't rewritten as ions.

Net ionic equation:

$\begin{aligned}& \rm Ag^{+} + Cl^{-} \to AgCl\, (s)\end{aligned}$ .

Calculate the initial quantity of nitrate ions in the mixture.

$\begin{aligned}n(\text{initial}) &= c(\text{initial}) \cdot V(\text{initial}) \\ &= 0.25\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} \times 0.150\; \rm L \\ &= 0.0375\; \rm mol \end{aligned}$ .

Since nitrate ions $\rm {NO_3}^{-}$ do not take part in any reaction in this mixture, the quantity of this ion would stay the same.

$n(\text{final}) = n(\text{initial}) = 0.0375\; \rm mol$ .

However, the volume of the new solution is twice that of the original nitrate solution. Hence, the concentration of nitrate ions in the new solution would be $(1/2)$ of the concentration in the original solution.

$\begin{aligned} c(\text{final}) &= \frac{n(\text{final})}{V(\text{final})} \\ &= \frac{0.0375\; \rm mol}{0.300\; \rm L} = 0.175\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .
