Answer:

In the example of carbon dioxide, CO2, the subscript 2 following the oxygen symbol O says that there are two oxygen atoms in the compound CO2, and no subscript following the symbol C says only one carbon atom occurs in the molecule.

Explanation:

The lack of a number preceding the carbon symbol C and the compound formula CO2 shows that there is one carbon atom and one carbon dioxide molecule. Meaning of Subscript Numbers. Subscript numbers in chemical formulas represent the number of atoms or molecules immediately preceding the subscript.

If 16.8 mL of the analyte H2C2O4 (oxalic acid) is titrated with 0.501 M KOH to 13.54 mL, determine the mass of the analyte.

Neko [114]

Answer:

Mass of Analyte H2C2O4 = 18.18 grams

Explanation:

The balanced equation is:

$H_{2}C_{2}O_{4}+2KOH\rightarrow K_{2}C_{2})_{4}+H_{2}O$

The Molarity of Oxalic acid needed can be determined using: $M_{1}V_{1}=M_{2}V_{2}$

Here M1 = Molarity of Oxalic acid

V1 = Volume of oxalic acid

M2 = Molarity of KOH and V2 = Volume of KOH

M1 = ? , V1 = 16.8 mL , M2 = 0.501 M , V2 = 13.54 mL

Put the values and solve for M2,

$M_{1}V_{1}=M_{2}V_{2}$

$2\times M_{1}(16.8)=0.501\times 13.54$

We are multiplying by 2 because , 1 H2C2O4 needs 2 KOH

$M_{1}=\frac{0.501\times 13.54}{2\times 16.8}$

$M_{1}=0.202M$

Hence Molarity of H2C2O4 =

0.202 M

Molar mass = H2C2O4 = 2x1 +2x12 + 4x16

= 2+24+64 = 90 gram

$Mole =molarity\times Molar\ mass$

$Moles=0.202\times 90$

18.18 gram

An unbalanced chemical equation is shown:

ExtremeBDS [4]

There are 2 Ca, 4 H (2*2) and 4 O (2+2) on the left hand side. So there should be the same number of atoms 2Ca and 4(O+H) on the right hand side. The reaction is a synthesis (making something new), rather than a decomposition (destroying something).

The answer is Two molecules of Ca(OH)2 should be produced during the synthesis reaction.
