Answer:

FeCl₃ + 3NaOH → Fe(OH)₃ + 3NaCl

Explanation:

You are given a skeleton equation, or unbalanced equation.

FeCl₃ + NaOH → Fe(OH)₃ + NaCl

Count the number of atoms on each side. If there is 1 atom, the subscript is not written. If the subscript to the right of a bracket, it belongs to each element in the bracket.

Reactants → Products

Fe 1 Fe 1

Cl 3 Cl 1 Not balanced

Na 1 Na 1

O 1 O 3 Not balanced

H 1 H 3 Not balanced

The number of each element must be the same in the reactants and products. We can see that Cl (chlorine), O (oxygen) and H (hydrogen) have different numbers.

Write in coefficients in front of formulas (separated by + sign). Coefficients multiply each subscript (or "1" if not written) in the formula. Recount the atoms until you have equal reactant and product atom numbers.

I see that I need more chlorine in my products. Multiply the formula that has "Cl" by 3.

FeCl₃ + NaOH → Fe(OH)₃ + 3NaCl

Reactants → Products

Fe 1 Fe 1

Cl 3 Cl 3 Cl is balanced now.

Na 1 Na 3 Not balanced

O 1 O 3 Not balanced

H 1 H 3 Not balanced

Fix the "Na" now. Multiply the formula with "Na" on the left by 3.

FeCl₃ + 3NaOH → Fe(OH)₃ + 3NaCl

Reactants → Products

Fe 1 Fe 1

Cl 3 Cl 3

Na 3 Na 3

O 3 O 3

H 3 H 3

Each side has the same number of each element. Therefore, this is balanced now.

Balanced formula:

FeCl₃ + 3NaOH → Fe(OH)₃ + 3NaCl

Which of the following sets are isoelectronic (i.e., have the same number of electrons)? i. Br-, Kr, Sr2+ ii. C, N-, O2- iii. Mg

il63 [147K]

Answer:

ii. $C,\ N^-,\ O^{2-}$

Explanation:

Isoelectric species are the species which have same number of electrons.

From the given options:-

$C,\ N^-,\ O^{2-}$ are the isoelectric species.

All the three species have same number of electrons which is equal to 6.

Carbon has 6 electrons.

$N^-$ has 6 electrons.

$O^{2-}$ has 6 electrons.

The balanced equation below shows the products that are formed when butane (C4H10) is combusted.

Nataly [62]

Answer:

2:8

Explanation:

The reaction equation is a given as:

2C₄H₁₀ + 130₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O

From the reaction equation, the mole ratio is 2:8

Butane is C₄H₁₀

Carbon dioxide CO₂

From the reaction;

2 moles of butane will produce 8 moles of carbon dioxide

Using standard reduction potentials from the ALEKS Data tab, calculate the standard reaction free energy for the following redox

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

-973 KJ

Explanation:

The balanced reaction equation is;

N2H4(aq) + 2Cl2(g) + 4OH^-(aq)---------> 4Cl-(aq) + 4H ^+(aq) + 4OH^-(aq) + N2(g)

Reduction potential of hydrazine = -1.16 V

Reduction potential of chlorine = 1.36 V

From;

E°cell= E°cathode - E°anode

E°cell= 1.36 - (-1.16)

E°cell= 2.52 V

∆G°=- nFE°cell

n= number of moles of electrons = 4

F= Faraday's constant = 96500 C

E°cell = 2.52 V

∆G°=- (4 × 96500 × 2.52)

∆G°= -972720 J

∆G°= -972.72 KJ
