Answer:

FeCl₃  +  <u>3</u>NaOH  →  Fe(OH)₃  +  <u>3</u>NaCl​

Explanation:

You are given a skeleton equation, or unbalanced equation.

FeCl₃  +  NaOH  →  Fe(OH)₃  +  NaCl​

<u>Count the number of atoms on each side</u>. 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

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

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

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  +  <u>3</u>NaOH  →  Fe(OH)₃  +  <u>3</u>NaCl​

When the [H+] in a solution is 1.7 × 10−9 M, what is the pOH ?
Marysya12 [62]
<em>[H⁺] = 1,7×10⁻⁹  mol/dm³</em>

pH = -log[H⁺]
pH = -log[<span>1,7×10⁻⁹]
<u>pH = 8,77</u>

pH + pOH = 14
pOH = 14-8,77
<u>pOH = 5,23

</u>:)

The element californium (cf) sells for $1000 per µg. assuming 6.02 x 1023 atoms of cf have a mass of 251 grams, how many atoms o
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:- 2.40*10^1^0atoms

Solution:- It is a simple unit conversion problem. We could solve this using dimensional analysis.

We know that, 1 US dollar = 100 cents

1 cent  = 1 US penny

So, 1 US dollar = 100 US pennies

1g=10^6\mu g

Let's make the set up starting with 1 penny as:

1penny(\frac{$1}{100pennies})(\frac{1\mu g}{$1000})(\frac{1g}{10^6\mu g})(\frac{6.02*10^2^3atoms}{251g})

= 2.40*10^1^0atoms

Therefore, we can bye 2.40*10^1^0atoms of Cf in one US penny.
