A balanced chemical equation must account for every atom involved in a chemical reaction.

1 answer:

4 0

True. If the balanced chemical equation did not account for all of the atoms in a reaction, the reaction could not be used for any type of quantitative analysis. It would also not be really useful since it is supposed to show how the molecules interact and in what quantities.

The activation energy of an endothermic reaction _____.

Anon25 [30]

Endothermic reactions are reactions that require heat in the course of the process. The heat of reaction in this case is positive which means the energy of the products is greater than the energy of the reactants. In this case, the answer to this problem would have to be 1. must be greater than the required ΔH

A buffer solution contains 0.479 M NaHCO3 and 0.342 M Na2CO3. Determine the pH change when 0.091 mol HNO3 is added to 1.00 L of

pshichka [43]

Answer:

ΔpH = 0.20

Explanation:

The buffer of HCO₃⁻ + CO₃²⁻ has a pka of 10.2

HCO₃⁻ ⇄ H⁺ + CO₃²⁻

There are 0.479moles of NaHCO₃ and 0.342moles of Na₂CO₃.

Using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = pka + log [Base] / [Acid]

pH = 10.2 + log 0.342mol / 0.479mol

pH = 10.05

NaOH reacts with HCO₃⁻ producing CO₃²⁻, thus:

NaOH + HCO₃⁻ → CO₃²⁻ + H₂O + Na⁺

0.091 moles of NaOH produce the same moles of CO₃²⁻ and consume HCO₃⁻. Moles of these species are:

CO₃²⁻: 0.342mol + 0.091mol: 0.433mol

HCO₃⁻: 0.479mol - 0.091 mol: 0.388mol

Using Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = pka + log [Base] / [Acid]

pH = 10.2 + log 0.433mol / 0.388mol

pH = 10.25

That means change of pH, ΔpH is:

ΔpH = 10.25 - 10.05 = 0.20

I hope it helps!

The strength of an acid is affected by the polarity of the bond connected to the acidic hydrogen. The more highly polarized this

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxyacids are acid containing oxygen; they are also known as acid-alcohol or acid-phenol. As said earlier, the strength of these acids increases with increases in the polarity of these compounds. So, what makes the polarity is as a result of the electronegative substituents attached to it. Halogen family possesses the highest electronegativity in the periodic table, and electronegativity decreases down the group.

The ranking of the oxyacids in order of decreasing acid strength from strongest to weakest acid is:

HClO3 > . HClO2 > HClO > HBrO

Which chemical class does phenobarbital belong to?

drek231 [11]

Phenobarbital is derivative of Barbituric Acid and Barbituric Acid is derivative of Urea. (structures shown in Fig below)

Urea has H₂N- group attached to Carbonyl Group (C=O), and such class of comounds conataining H₂N-C=O bond are called as Amides.

Result:
So, Phenobarbital belongs to Amides.
