2KOH(aq) + CoBr₂(aq) → 2KBr(aq) + Co(OH)₂(s)

2K⁺ + 2OH⁻ + Co²⁺ + 2Br⁻ → 2K⁺ + 2Br⁻ + Co(OH)₂

K⁺ and Br⁻ are spectator ions

Answer:

K+ and Br-

Explanation:

A spectator ion is an ion which remains in the same form in both the reactants and product side of a chemical reaction i.e. it does not take part in the reaction.

The reaction between KOH and CoBr2 can be represented as:

2KOH (aq) + CoBr2(aq) → 2KBr(aq) + Co(OH)2(s)

In the above equation the three aqueous solutions, KOH, CoBr2 and KBr will ionize into respective ions unlike Co(OH)2 precipitate. The Total ionic equation can be depicted as:

2K+ + 2OH- + Co2+ + 2Br- → 2K+ + 2Br- + Co(OH)2

The K+ and Br- ions remain unchanged and can be cancelled out giving the net ionic equation:

2OH- + Co2+ → Co(OH)2

Thus, K+ and Br- are spectator ions

This table has information about the heat of fusion and the heat of vaporization of different substances. A 3-column table with

blagie [28]

H₂S

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

ΔH fusion and ΔH vaporization of different substances

Required

The substance absorbs 58.16 kJ of energy when 3.11 mol vaporizes

Solution

We can use the formula :

$\tt \Delta H=\dfrac{Q}{n}$

Q=heat/energy absorbed

n = moles

The heat absorbed : 58.16 kJ

moles = 3.11

so ΔH vaporization :

$\tt \Delta H_{vap}=\dfrac{58.16~kJ}{3.11~mol}\\\\\Delta H_{vap}=18.7~kJ/mol$

The correct substance which has ΔH vaporization = 18.7 kj / mol is H₂S

(H₂S from the data above has ΔH fusion = 2.37 kj / mol and ΔH vaporization = 18.7 kj / mol)

16 Which two gases can not be broken down by chemical means?(1) CO and He (3) Xe and He

lyudmila [28]

The answer is (2) CO and NH3. The chemical reaction can only break down chemical bonds between atoms inside the molecule. The He and Xe is consists of one atom only, so they can not be broken down by chemical means.
