Fireworks owe their colors to reactions of combustion of the metals present. When Mg and Al burn, they emit a white bright light, whereas iron emits a gold light. Besides metals, oxygen is necesary for the combustion. The decomposition reactions of barium nitrate and potassium chlorate provide this element. At the same time, barium can burn emitting a green light.

(a) Barium nitrate is a <em>salt</em> formed by the <em>cation</em> barium Ba²⁺ and the <em>anion</em> nitrate NO₃⁻. Its formula is Ba(NO₃)₂. Potassium chlorate is a <em>salt</em> formed by the <em>cation</em> potassium K⁺ and the <em>anion</em> chlorate ClO₃⁻. Its formula is KClO₃.

(b) The balanced equation for the decomposition of potassium chloride is:

2KClO₃(s) ⇄ 2KCl(s) + 3O₂(g)

(c)  The balanced equation for the decomposition of barium nitrate is:

Ba(NO₃)₂(s) ⇄ BaO(s) + N₂(g) + 3O₂(g)

(d) The balanced equations of metals with oxygen to form metal oxides are:

  • 2 Mg(s) + O₂(g) ⇄ 2 MgO(s)
  • 4 Al(s) + 3 O₂(g) ⇄ 2 Al₂O₃(s)
  • 4 Fe(s) + 3 O₂(g) ⇄ 2 Fe₂O₃(s)

Balance the following reaction:
miv72 [106K]

 The balanced reaction is   as below

3A₂B  + 2DC₃→ 6 AC  + D₂B₃


The number that must be  to the left of AC   is 6

 Explanation

  • According to the law  of mass  conservation , the number of atoms in reactant side   must be equal  to number  to the number of atoms  in  product  side.
  • Therefore the equation above is balance  since  it obey the law of mass conservation.
  • For example there is 6 atoms  of A in reactant side and  6 in product side.

Hydrogen gas (H2) reacts with oxygen gas (O2) and produces water. If one mol of hydrogen reacts with one mole of oxygen, what is
Amiraneli [1.4K]
HI 

So, the formula for water is H2O

When you have the same amount of the reactants , hydrogen will be the limiting reactant. 
Limiting reactant is the thing that runs out first.

How many moles of neon atoms are there in a neon sign that has 2.4 * 20^ 24 atoms of neon? *
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

4 moles of neon

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of neon = ?

Number of atoms of neon = 2.4×10²⁴ atoms

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

For given neon atoms:

1 mol =  6.022 × 10²³ atoms

2.4×10²⁴ atoms × 1 mol / 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

0.4×10¹ mol = 4 mol
