Answer:

$2 NaOH (aq) + H_2SO_4 (aq)\rightarrow 2 H_2O (l) + Na_2SO_4 (aq)$

Explanation:

Let's correct and balance the given equation:

$NaOH (aq)$ is sodium hydroxide, charge of sodium is +1, charge of hydroxide is -1, so it's fine;
$H_2SO_4 (aq)$ is sulfuric acid, charge of hydrogen cation is +1, charge of sulfate is -2, sulfate is balanced by the two protons;
$H_2O (l)$ is firstly a molecule, it's water, in its liquid state, the oxidation state of +1 for the two hydrogens is balanced by the oxidation state of -2 for oxygen;
sodium sulfate should be $Na_2SO_4 (aq)$ , since sulfate has a charge of -2, this would require two sodium cations to balance it.

The equation becomes:

$NaOH (aq) + H_2SO_4 (aq)\rightarrow H_2O (l) + Na_2SO_4 (aq)$

We require 2 NaOH in order to balance the two sodium cations on the right, this would yield a total of 4 hyrogens on the left, so we also need two water molecules to balance it fully:

$2 NaOH (aq) + H_2SO_4 (aq)\rightarrow 2 H_2O (l) + Na_2SO_4 (aq)$

A 410 L volume of nitrogen gas is cooled from 61 C to -25 C. What is the volume of the nitrogen at the lower temperature if all

Lena [83]

Answer:

$304.5\text{L}$

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the volume of the nitrogen gas at the lower temperature

From Charles' law, we know that volume and temperature (in Kelvin) are directly proportion

The mathematical relationship is:

$\frac{V_1}{T_1}\text{ = }\frac{V_2}{T_2}$

Where:

V1 is the initial volume which is 410 L

V2 is the final volume which is unknown

T1 is the initial temperature which we will convert to Kelvin by adding 273.15 K, we have it as 61 + 273.15 = 334.15 K

T2 is the final temperature which we have to convert to Kelvin by adding it to 273.15K : We have that as -25 + 273.15 = 248.15 K

Substituting the values, we have it that:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{410}{334.15}\text{ = }\frac{V_2}{248.15} \\ \\ V_2\text{ = }\frac{248.15\text{ }\times410}{334.15} \\ \\ V_2\text{ = 304.5 L} \end{gathered}$
