Answer:

By balancing the chemical equation

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter cannot be destroyed nor created.

That is, you must have the same amount of matter before and after a reaction.

Atoms are made of matter, so you must have the same number of each type of atom in the reactants as in the products. You must balance the equation.

Consider the reaction

2H₂ + O₂ ⟶ 2H₂O

You must have 2s in front of H₂ and H₂O to balance the atoms.

They give you four atoms of H and two atoms of O on each side of the arrow.

Answer:

(a) cesium bromide (CsBr): 9.15 grams

(b) calcium sulfate (CaSO4): 5.85 grams

(d) lithium dichromate (Li2Cr2O7): 9.88 grams

(e) potassium oxalate (K2C2O4): 7.15 grams

Explanation:

(a) cesium bromide (CsBr):

Molar mass of CsBR = 212.81 g/mol

Number of moles = molarity * volume

Number of moles = 0.100 M *0.43 L

Number of moles = 0.043 moles

Mass of CsBr required = moles * Molar mass

Mass of CsBr required = 0.043 moles * 212.81 g/mol

Mass of CsBr required = 9.15 grams

(b) calcium sulfate (CaSO4):

Molar mass of CaSO4 = 136.14 g/mol

Mass of CaSO4 required = moles * Molar mass

Mass of CaSO4 required = 0.043 moles * 136.14 g/mol

Mass of CaSO4 required = 5.85 grams

(c) sodium phosphate (Na3PO4):

Molar mass of Na3PO4 = 163.94 g/mol

Mass of Na3PO4 required = moles * Molar mass

Mass of Na3PO4 required = 0.043 moles * 163.94 g/mol

Mass of Na3PO4 required = 7.05 grams

(d) lithium dichromate (Li2Cr2O7):

Molar mass of Li2Cr2O7 = 229.87 g/mol

Mass of Li2Cr2O7 required = moles * Molar mass

Mass of Li2Cr2O7 required = 0.043 moles * 229.87 g/mol

Mass of Li2Cr2O7 required = 9.88 grams

(e) potassium oxalate (K2C2O4):

Molar mass of K2C2O4 = 166.22 g/mol

Mass of K2C2O4 required = moles * Molar mass

Mass of K2C2O4 required = 0.043 moles * 166.22 g/mol

Mass of K2C2O4 required = 7.15 grams

Write the full Nernst Equation (i.e. not just at 298K) and define each term:

alex41 [277]

Answer :

The Nernst equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{2.303RT}{nF}\log \frac{[Anode]}{[Cathode]}$

where,

$E^0$ = standard cell potential

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction

F = Faraday constant = 96500 C

R= gas constant = 8.314 J/Kmol

T = temperature

[Anode] = anodic ion concentration

[Cathode] = cathodic ion concentration

What is the mole to mole ratio of LiOH to HBr for the following reaction?

umka21 [38]

Explanation:

so moles = mass ÷ mr (1+ 79.9)

so 10.00g ÷ 80.9

which is 0.1236093943

so to 3 S.F is 0.124 moles

also there is 1 to 1 ratio for LiOH to HBr

hope this helps :)
