Balanced chemical equation :

1. 4HCl (aq) + O₂ (g) ⇒ 2Cl₂ (g) + 2H₂O (l)

2. C₈H₂₀ (l) + 13O₂ (g) ⇒ 8CO₂ (g) + 10H₂O (g)

3. 2NO (g) + 5 H₂ (g) ⇒ 2NH₃ (g) + 2H₂O (g)

4. Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3CO (g) ⇒ 2Fe (s) + 3CO₂ (g)

Equalization of chemical reactions can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:

1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c, etc.

2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index (subscript) between reactant and product

3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1

For gas combustion reaction which is a reaction of hydrocarbons with oxygen produces CO₂ and H₂O (water vapor). can use steps:

Balancing C, H and the last O

1. HCl (aq) + O₂ (g) ⇒ Cl₂ (g) + H₂O (l)

Suppose we give a coefficient of 1 for HCl

HCl (aq) + aO₂ (g) ⇒ bCl₂ (g) + cH₂O (l)

number of H atoms: left 1, right 2c -> 2c = 1-> c = 1/2

number of Cl atoms: left 1, right 2b ---> 2b = 1 ----> b = 1/2

number of O atoms: left 2a, right c ---> 2a = c ---> 2a = 1/2 ---> a = 1/4

the reaction coefficient becomes:

HCl (aq) + 1 / 4O₂ (g) ⇒ 1 / 2Cl₂ (g) + 1 / 2H₂O (l) x 4

4HCl (aq) + O₂ (g) ⇒ 2Cl₂ (g) + 2H₂O (l)

2. C₈H₂₀ (l) + O₂ (g) ⇒ CO₂ (g) + H₂O (g)

Suppose we give a coefficient of 1 for C₈H₂₀

C₈H₂₀ (l) + aO₂ (g) ⇒ bCO₂ (g) + cH₂O (g)

number of C atoms: left 8, right b ---> b = 8

number of H atoms: left 20, right 2c -> 2c = 20 -> c = 10

number of O atoms: left 2a, right 2b + c ---> 2a = 2b + c ---> 2a = 2.8 + 10 ---> 2a = 26 ---> a = 13

the reaction coefficient becomes:

C₈H₂₀ (l) + 13O₂ (g) ⇒ 8CO₂ (g) + 10H₂O (g)

3. NO (g) + H₂ (g) ⇒ NH₃ (g) + H₂O (g)

Let's say we give a coefficient of 1 for NH₃

aNO (g) + bH₂ (g) ⇒ NH₃ (g) + cH₂O (g)

number of N atoms: left a, right 1 ---> a = 1

number of O atoms: left a, right c ---> a = c = 1

number of H atoms: left 2b, right 3 + 2c -> 2b = 3 + 2.1 ---> 2b = 5 -> b = 5/2

the reaction coefficient becomes:

NO (g) +5/2 H₂ (g) ⇒ NH₃ (g) + H₂O (g) x2

2NO (g) +5 H₂ (g) ⇒ 2NH₃ (g) + 2H₂O (g)

4. Fe₂O₃ (s) + CO (g) ⇒ Fe (s) + CO₂ (g)

Let's say we give a coefficient of 1 for Fe₂O₃

Fe₂O₃ (s) + aCO (g) ⇒ bFe (s) + cCO₂ (g)

number of Fe atoms: left 2, right b ---> b = 2

number of O atoms: left 3 + a, right 2c ---> 3 + a = 2c

number of C atoms: left a, right c -> a = c -> we put in the equation the number of atoms O

3 + c = 2c ---> 3 = c = a

the reaction coefficient becomes:

Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3CO (g) ⇒ 2Fe (s) + 3CO₂ (g)

These are four questions and four complete answers

Since the answer is over 5,000 characters, the full answers are in the attached file.

Answers:

A) 4HCl (aq) + O₂(g) → 2Cl₂ (g) + 2H₂O (l)

* The abbreviation aq inside the parenthesis is used to describe the aqueous phase of the compound.

O₂ (g)

* Oxygen is a diatomic molecule, so you use the subscript 2 to indicate the two atoms in the molecule.

* The abbreviation (g) indicates the gas phase.

Cl₂ (g)

4) Balancing

To obey the mass conservation law, the number of each kind of atoms in the reactant side must equal the number of the same kind of atom in the product side. Hence, you have to introduce the necessary coefficients to balance the equation:

4HCl (aq) + O₂(g) → 2Cl₂ (g) + 2H₂O (l)

Count each kind of atoms on each side to check the equation is balanced:

Element left side right side

H 4 2×2 = 4

Cl 4 2×2 = 4

O 1×2 = 2 2×1 = 2

Conclusion: the balanced chemical equation is

4HCl (aq) + O₂(g) → 2Cl₂ (g) + 2H₂O (l)

* This is an organic compound. An alkane. This name follows IUPAC rules.

* The abbreviation (l) describes the liquid phase of the compound.

O₂ (g)

* Oxygen is a diatomic molecule, so you use the subscript 2 to indicate the two atoms in the molecule.

* The abbreviation (g) indicates the gas phase.

CO₂ (g)

Imagine a planet that has a similar atmospheric pressure to Earth (760 mmHg) but different concentrations of gases in its atmosp

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

76 mmHg is the partial pressure of oxygen on this new planet.

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure on air on earth = 760 mmHg

On an unknown planet :

Oxygen makes up 10% of the atmosphere.

The mole fraction of oxygen gas can be written as = $\chi_1=\frac{10}{100}=0.1$

Carbon dioxide makes up 15% of the atmosphere.

The mole fraction of carbon dioxide gas can be written as = $\chi_2=\frac{15}{100}=0.15$

Nitrogen makes up the remaining 75% of the atmosphere.

The mole fraction of nitrogen gas can be written as = $\chi_1=\frac{75}{100}=0.75$

Atmospheric pressure of air on unknown planet,p= 760 mmHg (given)

Partial pressure of gases can be calculated by the help o Dalton's law of partial pressure:

Partial pressure of oxygen gas :

$p_1=p\times \chi_1$

$p_1=760 mmHg\times 0.1=76 mmHg$

Partial pressure of carbon dioxide gas :

$p_2=p\times \chi_2$

$p_2=760 mmHg\times 0.15=114 mmHg$

Partial pressure of nitrogen gas :

$p_3=p\times \chi_3$

$p_3=760 mmHg\times 0.75=570 mmHg$

Compute the freezing point of this solution:

likoan [24]

Answer:

Freezing point = 1.25

Explanation:

If we increase the concentration of the solution, the concentration of H+ does not change.

Convert 2.5% in to decimal

2.5% = 2.5 ÷100

= 0.025

The freezing point = 0.025 × 50

= 1.25

What is the ph of a buffer prepared by adding 0.809 mol of the weak acid ha to 0.608 mol of naa in 2.00 l of solution? The disso

Anarel [89]

The pH of the buffer is 6.1236.

Explanation:

The strength of any acid solution can be obtained by determining their pH. Even the buffer solution strength of the weak acid can be determined using pH. As the dissociation constant is given, we can determine the pKa value as the negative log of dissociation constant value.

$pKa=-log[H] = - log [ 5.66 * 10^{-7}]\\ \\pka = 7 - log (5.66)=7-0.753=6.247\\\\pka = 6.247$

The pH of the buffer can be known as

$pH = pK_{a} + log[\frac{[A-]}{[HA]}}]$

The concentration of $[A^{-}] = Moles of [A]/Total volume = 0.608/2 = 0.304 M\\$

Similarly, the concentration of [HA] = $\frac{Moles of HA}{Total volume} = \frac{0.809}{2} = 0.404$

Then the pH of the buffer will be

pH = 6.247 + log [ 0.304/0.404]

$pH = 6.247 + log 0.304 - log 0.404=6.247-0.517+0.3936=6.1236$

So, the pH of the buffer is 6.1236.

Draw a correct Lewis structure for XeI2 (Xe in middle, surrounded by I's ) that puts a 0 formal charge on all atoms. How many lo

Alona [7]

1) The Lewis structure will be:

I--I

In this structure, the xenon atom is surrounded by two iodine atoms, which are bonded to it through single bonds. Each iodine atom has one lone pair of electrons, for a total of 2 lone pairs on the central atom (xenon).

2) The molar mass of the gaseous compound is 0.416 g/mol.

To draw a correct Lewis structure for XeI2, we need to first count the number of valence electrons in the molecule. Xenon is a noble gas and has 8 valence electrons, while iodine has 7 valence electrons for a total of 23 valence electrons. To satisfy the octet rule and put a 0 formal charge on all atoms, we can use the following Lewis structure:

I--I

To find the molar mass of the gaseous compound, we can use the ideal gas law:

M = dRT/P

Where M is the molar mass, d is the density, R is the ideal gas constant, T is the temperature, and P is the pressure.

Given that the density of the gas is 0.3876 grams/142 mL = 0.002736 grams/mL, the temperature is 150 + 273 = 423 K, the pressure is 775 torr = 775/760 atm = 1.0132 atm, and the ideal gas constant is 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K.

We can calculate the molar mass as follows:

M = (0.002736 g/mL) * (0.08206 L·atm/mol·K / (1.0132 atm)) * (423 K)

M = 0.416 g/mol
