The balanced reaction is
3Na3PO4 + 2CuSO4 ------> 3Na2SO4 + Cu3(PO4)2
To balance this reaction of double displacement, we see first that this reaction maintain the valence numbers of every atom.
Then, to have the same value of Na in the two sides of the reaction we multiply for the number of the other side. So,
(Na3PO4)x 2
(Na2SO4)x3
As we can see either, we need to balance PO4 cause there are two molecules of this in the reactant side, so we have two molecules of PO4 in the product either.
Then we get
3Na3PO4 + 2CuSO4 ------> 3Na2SO4 + Cu3(PO4)2
To probe that balance was correct, you can verify that the charges are exactly the opposite.
Answer:
The frequencies of light that an atom can emit are dependent on states the electrons can be in. When excited, an electron moves to a higher energy level or orbital. When the electron falls back to its ground level the light is emitted.
The awnser to your question would be B
Answer:
The alloys used to make coins are usually Copper, Zinc and Nickel. There are several reasons: The alloy must be very hard to withstand the use and circulation of the coin to not wear out soon. Then, the alloy must have a value less than the value of the currency to avoid that are founded and sold as mere metals.
Explanation:
ΔHrxn = ΣδΗ(bond breaking) - ΣδΗ(bond making)
Bond enthalpies,
N ≡ N ⇒ 945 kJ mol⁻¹
N - Cl ⇒ 192 kJ mol⁻¹
Cl - Cl⇒ 242 kJ mol⁻¹
According to the balanced equation,
ΣδΗ(bond breaking) = N ≡ N x 1 + Cl - Cl x 3
= 945 + 3(242)
= 1671 kJ mol⁻¹
ΣδΗ(bond making) = N - Cl x 3 x 2
= 192 x 6
= 1152 kJ mol⁻¹
δHrxn = ΣδΗ(bond breaking) - ΣδΗ(bond making)
= 1671 kJ mol⁻¹ - 1152 kJ mol⁻¹
= 519 kJ mol⁻¹
