Answer:

The answer to your question is   2NaCl  + 2H₂O    ⇒   2NaOH  +  Cl₂  +  H₂

Explanation:

Original chemical equation

                   NaCl  +  H₂O    ⇒   NaOH  +  Cl₂  +  H₂

                   Reactant      Element        Products

                       1                    Na                    1

                       1                    Cl                      2

                       2                    H                      3

                       1                     O                      1

This reactions is unbalanced

                2NaCl  + 2H₂O    ⇒   2NaOH  +  Cl₂  +  H₂

                   Reactant      Element        Products

                      2                    Na                    1

                      2                    Cl                     2

                      4                    H                      4

                      2                     O                     2

Now, the reaction is balanced

Which of the following is defined as the mass of an atom based on the mass of an atom of carbon-12?
iogann1982 [59]
<span>This would be the atomic mass. In an atom of carbon-12, there are 6 protons and 6 neutrons at rest (electrons have a negligible mass and are usually not part of the overall mass calculation). All atomic masses are based off the measurements of this specific iteration of carbon.</span>

Oxygen gas, generated by the reaction 2KClO3(s)---2KCl(s)+3O2(g), is collected over water at 27•C in 3.72L vassel at a total pre
Julli [10]

Answer:

moles = 0.093 moles

Explanation:

In this case, we know that this reaction is taking plave in a vessel that has a 730 torr of total pressure.

The total pressure is a value obtained by:

Pt = Pwater + PO2

We need to know the pressure of O2, because then, with stoichiometry, we can calculate the moles of KClO3

The pressure of oxygen is:

PO2 = 730 - 26 = 704 Torr

Now, this pressure is in Torr, and we need to convert it to Atm, so:

704 Torr / 760 Torr = 0.9263 atm

Now, let's use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

With this expression, we will calculate the moles of O2, and then, the moles of KClO3:

n = PV/RT

R = 0.082 L atm /K mol

P = 0.9263 atm

V = 3.72 L

T = 27 + 273 = 300 K

Replacing the data:

n = 0.9263 * 3.72 / 300 * 0.082

n = 0.14 moles

Finally, by stoichiometry, we know that 2 moles of KClO3 produces 3 moles of O2, so:

moles of KClO3 = 0.14 * 2/3 = 0.093 moles of KClO3

What are the disadvantages of driverless cars ? Check all that apply
vladimir1956 [14]
Computers don’t have the ability to see as much as we do and in Construction sites this can be very dangerous if your driverless car has not been properly updated in an area where there’s a lot of construction you can we put into harms way. The lanes may have changed and they will not have the data to be able to recognize this in time and you could get into a serious car crash.
