Answer:
- <em>To balance a chemical equation it may be necessary to adjust the </em><u>coefficients.</u>
Explanation:
The <em>coefficients</em> of a <em>chemical equation</em> are the numbers that you put in front of each reactant and product. They are used to balance the equation and comply with the law of mass conservation.
By adjusting the coefficients you obtain the relative amounts (moles) of each product and reactant, i.e. the mole ratios.
Here an example.
The first information is what is called a word equation. E.g. nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia:
- Word equation: hydrogen + nitrogen → ammonia
- Skeleton equation: H₂ + N₂ → NH₃
This equation shows the chemical formulae but it is not balanced. The law of mass conservation is not observed.
So, in order to comply with the law of mass conservation you adjust the coefficients as follow.
- Balanced chemical equation: 3H₂ + N₂ → 2NH₃
As you see, it was necessary to modify the coefficients. Now the law of conservation of mass is observed and you get the mole ratios:
- 3 mol H₂ : 1 mol N₂ : 2 mol NH₃
Answer:
Covalent bond
Explanation:
they will make a covalent bond with each other because both are non- metals and have a low electronegativity difference.
Answer:
a) [H₃O⁺] = 1.8x10⁻⁵ M
b) pH = 4.75
c) % rxn = 3.5x10⁻³ %
Explanation:
a) The dissociation reaction of HCN is:
HCN(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq)
0.5 M - x x x
The dissociation constant from the above reactions is given by:


By solving the above quadratic equation we have:
x = 1.75x10⁻⁵ M = 1.8x10⁻⁵ M = [H₃O⁺] = [CN⁻]
Hence, the [H₃O⁺] is 1.8x10⁻⁵ M.
b) The pH is equal to:
Then, the pH of the HCN solution is 4.75.
c) The % reaction is the % ionization:

Therefore, the % reaction or % ionization is 3.5x10⁻³ %.

Answer:
9.63 L of NO
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 50.0 g of NH₄ClO₄. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass of NH₄ClO₄ = 50 g
Molar mass of NH₄ClO₄ = 14 + (4×1) + 35.5 + (16×4)
= 14 + 4 + 35.5 + 64
= 117.5 g/mol
Mole of NH₄ClO₄ =?
Mole = mass /molar mass
Mole of NH₄ClO₄ = 50/117.5
Mole of NH₄ClO₄ = 0.43 mole
Next, we shall determine the number of mole of NO produced by the reaction of 50 g (i.e 0.43 mole) of NH₄ClO₄. This can be obtained as follow:
3Al + 3NH₄ClO₄ –> Al₂O₃ + AlCl₃ + 3NO + 6H₂O
From the balanced equation above,
3 moles of NH₄ClO₄ reacted to produce 3 moles of NO.
Therefore, 0.43 mole of NH₄ClO₄ will also react to produce 0.43 mole of NO.
Finally, we shall determine the volume occupied by 0.43 mole of NO. This can be obtained as follow:
1 mole of NO = 22.4 L
Therefore,
0.43 mole of NO = 0.43 × 22.4
0.43 mole of NO = 9.63 L
Thus, 9.63 L of NO were obtained from the reaction.
