Which is the correctly balanced chemical equation for the reaction of KOH and H2SO4? Which is the net ionic equation for the rea
NeX [460]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A balanced chemical reaction equation has the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction equation.

Hence, for the reaction between KOH and H2SO4, the balanced chemical reaction equation is;

H2SO4(aq) + 2KOH(aq) ---------> K2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Complete ionic equation;

2H^+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq) + 2K^+(aq) +2OH^-(aq) -------> SO4^2-(aq) + 2K^+(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Net ionic equation;

2H^+(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) -------> 2H2O(l)

Use the following equation to answer the questions below:
Gala2k [10]

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is given as;

Be + 2HCl → BeCl2 + H2

What is the mass of beryllium required to produce 25.0g of beryllium chloride?

1 mol of Be produces 1 mol of BeCl2

Converting to mass;

Mass = Molar mass  *  Number of moles

9.01g of Be produces 79.92g of BeCl2

xg of Be produces 25g of BeCl2

Solving for x;

x = 25 * 9.01 / 79.92

x = 2.82 g

What is the mass of hydrochloric acid required to produce 25.0g of beryllium chloride? g

Converting 25.0g of beryllium chloride to moles;

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass

Number of moles = 25 / 79.92 = 0.3128 mol

2 mol of HCl produces 1 mol of BeCl2

x mol of HCl would produce 0.3128 mol of BeCl2

solving for x;

x = 0.3128 * 2 = 0.6256 mol

Converting to mass;

Mass = 0.6256 * 36.5 = 22.83 g

What is the mass of hydrogen gas produced when 25.0g of beryllium chloride is also produced? g

25g of BeCl2 = 0.3128 mol of BeCl2

From the equation;

1 mol of H2 is produced alongside 1 mol of BeCl2

This means;

0.3128 mol of H2 would also be produced alongside 0.3128 mol of BeCl2

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

Mass = 0.3128mol * 2.0159 g/mol = 0.6306 g

What is radioactive decay?
swat32

Answer:

Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. A material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Three of the most common types of decay are alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay, all of which involve emitting one or more particles or photons.
