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)

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

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) <em>4HCl (aq) + O₂(g) → 2Cl₂ (g) + 2H₂O (l)</em>

<em>B)  C₈H₂₀ (l) + 13O₂(g) → 8CO₂ (g) + 10H₂O (g)</em>

<em>C) 2NO (g) + 5H₂(g) → 2NH₃ (g) + 2H₂O (g)</em>

<em>D) Fe₂O₃ (s) + 3CO(g) → 2Fe (s)  + 3CO₂ (g)</em>

Explanation:

<em><u>A) Aqueous hydrogen chloride reacts with oxygen gas to form chlorine gas and liquid water.</u></em>

<u>1) Word equation:</u>

Aqueous hydrogen chloride + oxygen gas → chlorine gas + liquid water

<u>2) Chemical equation:</u>

HCl (aq) + O₂(g) → Cl₂ (g) + H₂O (l)

<u>3) Explanation of each term:</u>

  • HCl (aq):

       *   The most electronegative element (Cl) is written to the right, and the least electronegative element (H) is written to the left.

       *  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)

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

        * The abbreviation (g) indicates the gas phase.

  • H₂O (l)

        * The most electronegative element (O) is written to the right and the least electronetative element (H) is written to the left.

        * The subscript 2 next to H indicates that there are two atoms of hydrogen, while the lack of subscript next to O indicates that there is one atom of oxygen, in each molecule of water.

       * The abbreviation (l) indicates the liquid phase of water.

<u>4) Balancing</u>

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

<u>Conclusion:</u> <em>the balanced chemical equation is </em>

  • <em>4HCl (aq) + O₂(g) → 2Cl₂ (g) + 2H₂O (l)</em>

<em><u>B) Liquid octane reacts with oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide gas and water vapor.</u></em>

<u>1) Word equation:</u>

liquid octane + oxygen gas → carbon dioxide gas + water vapor

<u>2) Chemical equation:</u>

C₈H₂₀ (l) + O₂(g) → CO₂ (g) + H₂O (g)

<u>3) Explanation of each term:</u>

  • C₈H₂₀ (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)

        * Oxygen, O, is the most electronegative, and carbon (C) is the least electronegative.

       * The subscript 2 next to O atom, indicates that there are two atoms of oxygen in the molecule. There is only one atom of carbon (no subscript is added).

        * The abbreviation (g) indicates the gas phase.

  • H₂O (g)

        * The most electronegative element (O) is written to the right and the least electronetative element (H) is written to the left.

        * The subscript 2 next to H indicates that there are two atoms of hydrogen. The lack of subscript next to O indicates that there is one atom of oxygen, in each molecule of water.

       * The abbreviation (g) indicates the vapor (gas) phase of water.

<u>4) Balancing</u>

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:

O                      13×2 = 26        8×2 + 10 = 26

<u>Conclusion:</u> <em>the balanced chemical equation is </em>

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

If the vapor's volume were to be incorrectly recorded as 125ml, how will this error affect the calculated molar mass of the unkn
pishuonlain [190]
Since you didn't give the actual volume (or any of the experimental values) I can only tell you how to do it. Do the calculation using the real (determined) volume of the flask. Then, re-do the calculation with v = 125ml. Take the two values and calculate % error; m = measured vol; g = guessed vol. 

<span>[mW (m) - mW (g)]/mW (m) x 100% </span>

<span>(they want % error so, if it is negative, just get rid of the sign) </span>

According to scientific evidence, earth’s earliest atmosphere lacked oxygen. Over time, oxygen was added to the atmosphere.
Marianna [84]
B.
The cynobacteria were already there without the oxygen, so that rules out A, and a lot of prokaryotes were anaerobic, so that rules out C. Finally, Photosynthesis does not require oxygen. Instead, Oxygen is a waste product of it. Therefore, it cannot be D. So, we are only left with B

Which statement describes global winds?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

They blow away from poles to the equator.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we must take into account that global wind systems are formed by the constant increase in the temperature of the Earth’s surface. Thus, they drive the oceans’ surface currents. In such a way, we can say wind is the basic movement of air from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure, for that reason they blow away from the poles to the equator.

Best regards.

The empirical formula for a compound composed of 0.0683 mol of carbon ( C ), 0.0341 mol of hydrogen ( H ), and 0.1024 mol of nitrogen ( N ) is  C_2HN_3.

<h3>What is the empirical formula?</h3>

An empirical formula tells us the relative ratios of different atoms in a compound.

Given data:

Moles of carbon = 0.0683 mol

Moles of hydrogen = 0.0341 mol

Moles of nitrogen = 0.1024 mol

Dividing each mole using the smallest number that is divided by 0.0341 moles.

We get:

Carbon= 2

Hydrogen=1

Nitrogen=3
