Answer:
2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2
The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2
Explanation:
HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2
The equation can be balance as follow:
Put 3 in front of O2 as shown below:
HgS + 3O2 → HgO + SO2
Now we can see that there are 6 atoms of O on the left side of the equation and a total of 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgO and SO2 as shown below:
HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2
Now we have 2 atoms of both Hg and S on the right side and 1atom each on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgS as shown below:
2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2
Now the equation is balanced.
The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2
The law of conservation of mass(matter) states that matter(mass) can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but changes from one form to another. An unbalanced equation suggests that matter has been created or destroyed. While a balanced equation proofs that matter can never be created but changes to different form. This is the more reason we have count the atoms of an element on both side of the equation to see if they are balanced irrespective of the new form they assume in the product
Answer:
3. 75.0%
Explanation:
2 ClO2(g) + F2(g) → 2 FClO2(g)
First order with respect to ClO2 and F2.
This means the rate equation is given as;
Rate = k [ClO2][F2]
When the initial concentrations of ClO2 and F2 are equal?
Let's assume an initial value of 1 for both reactants, so rate equation is given as;
Rate = k * 1 * 1 = k
The rate after 25% of the F2 has reacted is what percent of the initial rate?
The concentration left of F2 is 75% ( 100% - 25%) = 0.75
Concentration of ClO2 remains 1.
So rate equation is given as;
Rate = k * 1 * 0.75 = 0.75 k
Comparing 0.75k and k.
This means our answer is;
3. 75.0%
