Balance the following equation:
Firdavs [7]

Answer: a) 2K_2CrO_4+3Na_2SO_3+10HCl\rightarrow 4KCl+3Na_2SO_4+2CrCl_3+5H_2O

b) 1 mole of SO_2 is produced.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The skeletal equation is:

K_2CrO_4+Na_2SO_3+HCl\rightarrow KCl+Na_2SO_4+CrCl_3 +H_2O

The balanced equation will be:

2K_2CrO_4+3Na_2SO_3+10HCl\rightarrow 4KCl+3Na_2SO_4+2CrCl_3+5H_2O

Thus the coefficients are 2, 3 , 10 , 4 , 3 , 2 and 5.

b) Oxidation: 2I-^-\rightarrow I_2+2e-^-

Reduction: SO_4^{2-}+2e^-+4H^+\rightarrow SO_2+2H_2O

Net reaction:  2I-^-+SO_4^{2-}+4H^+\rightarrow I_2+SO_2+2H_2O

When 1 mole of I_2 is produced, 1 mole of SO_2 is produced.

if I have 22.1 grams of CO2 gas at -188 degrees Celsius and 165 ml what is the pressure of the gas in kPa​
Harman [31]

Answer:

P = 2.145kPa

Explanation:

Mass = 22.1g

Molar mass of CO2 = 44g/mol

Vol = 165mL = 0.165L

T = -188°C = (-188 + 273.15)K = 85.15K

R = 8.314J/mol.K

From ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

P = pressure of the ideal gas

V = volume the gas occupies

n = number of moles if the gas

R = ideal gas constant

T = temperature of the gas

n = number of moles

n = mass / molar mass

n = 22.1 / 44 = 0.50moles

PV = nRT

P = nRT/ V

P = (0.5 × 8.314 × 85.15) / 0.165

P = 2145.26Pa = 2.145kPa

Pressure of the gas is 2.145kPa
