Answer: It is important for an equation to be balanced because if it is not then the reactants won't match the products.
Explanation: I don't know if you will understand this but here:
Let's say you're cooking eggs, you're reactants so to speak would be 3 eggs and 1 tablespoon of oil so you put it together using heat and a pan. Your products have to match what you have in the beginning. You cannot have an equation that looks like this
Reactants = 3eggs + 1Tbsp oil ---pan/heat---> 6eggs + 1 cup of oil
You cannot get something from what you don't have. The number of how much of an element you have must be the same of both sides of the equation.
Answer: 0.5 kg
Explanation:
Force of launched skyrocket = 10 N
Acceleration of skyrocket = 20 m/s squared (i.e 20m/s^2)
Mass of the skyrocket = ?
Recall that Force is the product of the mass of an object by the acceleration by which it moves.
i.e Force = Mass x Acceleration
10N = Mass x 20m/s^2
Mass = (10N/20m/s^2)
Mass = 0.5 kg
Thus, the mass of this skyrocket is 0.5 kilograms
Answer:
[Ag⁺] = 0.0666M
Explanation:
For the addition of Ag⁺ and CN⁻, the (Ag(CN)₂⁻ is produced, thus:
Ag⁺ + 2CN⁻ ⇄ Ag(CN)₂⁻
Kf = 1x10²¹ = [Ag(CN)₂⁻] / [CN⁻]² [Ag⁺]
As initial concentrations of Ag⁺ and CN⁻ are:
[Ag⁺] = 0.110L × (3.0x10⁻³mol / L) = 3.3x10⁻⁴mol / (0.110L + 0.230L) = 9.7x10⁻⁴M
[CN⁻] = 0.230L × (0.1mol / L) = 0.023mol / (0.110L + 0.230L) = 0.0676M
The equilibrium concentrations of each compound are:
[CN⁻] = 9.7x10⁻⁴M - x
[Ag⁺] = 0.0676M - x
[Ag(CN)₂⁻] = x
<em>Where x is reaction coordinate</em>
Replacing in Kf formula:
1x10²¹ = [x] / [9.7x10⁻⁴M - x]² [0.0676M - x]
1x10²¹ = [x] / 6.36048×10⁻⁸ - 0.000132085 x + 0.06954 x² - x³
-1x10²¹x³ + 6.954x10¹⁹x² - 1.32085x10¹⁷ x + 6.36x10¹³ = x
-1x10²¹x³ + 6.954x10¹⁹x² - 1.32085x10¹⁷ x + 6.36x10¹³ = 0
Solving for x:
X = 9.614x10⁻⁴M
Thus, equilibrium concentration of Ag⁺ is:
[Ag⁺] = 0.0676M - 9.614x10⁻⁴M = <em>0.0666M</em>
