Answer: -
6
Explanation: -
The given unbalanced chemical equation is As + NaOH -- > Na3AsO3 + H2
We see there 3 sodium on the right side from Na3AsO3.
But there are only 1 sodium on the left from NaOH.
So we multiply NaOH by 3.
As + 3 NaOH -- > Na3AsO3 + H2
Now we see the number of Hydrogen on the left is 3.
But the number of hydrogens is 2 on the left.
So, we multiply to get both sides 6 hydrogen.
As + 6NaOH -- > Na3AsO3 + 3 H2
Rebalancing for Na,
As + 6NaOH -- > 2Na3AsO3 + 3 H2.
Finally balancing As,
2 As + 6 NaOH -- > 2Na3AsO3 + 3H2
The coefficient of the NaOH molecule in the balanced reaction is thus 6
a) When the reaction takes place a yellow precipitate will be formed.
b) The law of conservation of mass is true.
<u>Explanation:</u>
a) When a lead nitrate solution is mixed with a potassium chromate solution, a yellow precipitate containing lead forms according to the equation:
→ 
b) Law of conservation of mass for the given reaction is true.
From the given table we know the mass of reactants and its products.
Law of conservation of mass is a principle when a reaction takes place in a closed system, the mass of the products and reactants in the system doesn't change.
⇒The sum of the mass of the reactants = The sum of the mass of the products.
The sum of the reactants = 128.71+128.97.
= 257.68 g.
The sum of the products = 154.10+103.58.
= 257.68 g.
Thus law of conservation of mass is true for the above reaction.
There is 103 percent of water in hydrate
