How many milliliters of 4.00 m hcl(aq) are required to react with 2.75 g of zn(s)?

Write the balanced chemical equation for the following reaction. Phases are optional. Solid calcium chlorate decomposes to form

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Explanation:

1) Word equation (given)

calcium chlorate (solid) → solid calcium chloride (solid) + oxygen (gas)

2) Chemical formulae of the reactant and products:

Calcium chlorate:

The most common oxidation states of chlorine are -1, +1, +3, +5, +7.

The suffix ate in chlorate means that chlorine atom is with the third lowest oxidation state (counting only the positive states). So, this is +5.

The oxidation state of calcium is +2.

Hence, the chemical formula of calcium chlorate is Ca(ClO₃)₂

Calcium chloride

The suffix ide in chloride means that chlorine is with oxidation state -1. Again the oxidation state of calcium is +2.

Hence, the chemical formula of calcium chloride is CaCl₂

Oxygen

Oxygen gas is a diatomic molecule, so its chemical formula is O₂.

Phases

The symbols s and g (in parenthesis) indicate the solid and gas phases respectively.

3) Chemical equation:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + O₂ (g)

That equation is not balanced becasue the number of O atoms in the reactant side and in the product side are different.

4) Balanced chemical equation:

Add a 3 as coefficient in front of O₂(g), in the product side to balance:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Verify that all the atoms are balanced:

Atom Reactant side Product side

Ca 1 1

Cl 2 2

O 3×2 = 6 2×3 = 6

Conclusion: the equation is balanced and the final answer is:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

A chemist determined by measurements that 0.050 moles of aluminum participated in a chemical reaction. Calculate the mass of alu

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

13.5 g

Explanation:

This question is solved easily if we remember that the number of moles is obtained by dividing the mass into the atomic weight or molar mass depending if we are referring to elements or molecules.

Therefore, the mass of aluminum in the reaction will the 0.050 mol Al times the atomic weight of aluminum.

number of moles = n = mass of Al / Atomic Weight Al

⇒ mass Al = n x Atomic Weight Al = 0.050 mol x 27 g mol⁻¹

= 13.5 g

We have three significant figures in 0.050 and therefore we should have three significant figures in our answer.

Determine the kinetic energy of an 833.0 kg roller coaster car moving at a speed of 20.0 m/s

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

166,600J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy (K.E), which is the energy due to motion of a body, can be calculated by using the formula;

K.E = 1/2 × m × v²

Where;

K.E = kinetic energy (joules)

m = mass of body (kg)

v = speed or velocity (m/s)

According to this question, the mass of the roller coaster is 833.0 kg while its velocity/speed is 20.0m/s.

K.E = 1/2 × 833 × 20²

K.E = 1/2 × 833 × 400

K.E = 1/2 × 333200

K.E = 166,600

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the roller coaster car is 166,600J.

In what beaker does the sugar dissolve the fastest? ( particle size, temp. of water, condition(stir/no stir), etc).

Vsevolod [243]

Temperature. In case you have ever baked, you can relate to this. For example, when you make caramel, you simply put the caramel on a boiling hot pan and sit back and watch it. It always goes fastest this way.
