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

Number of neutrons.
The atomic number is a way of identifying elements so if the were all the same than that wouldn't work very well :)

Cyclohexane (C6H12) is a hydrocarbon (a substance containing only carbon and hydrogen) liquid. Which of the following will most

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer: $CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{3}$

Explanation: Hydrocarbons are the compounds which contain only carbon and hydrogen as their constituent elements. These are considered to be as the non polar species as because of the less electronegativity difference between the two components.

Now as it is a non polar species thus it will dissolve only a non polar solute following the principle of 'Like dissolves Like'. Thus the most non polar species given in the options is pentane. Cyclohexane will definitely dissolve this pentane as both are non polar in nature.

$CH_{2}Cl_{2}$ , HI and NaBr are polar specie which cannot be dissolved in non polar species.

What determines the strength of a solute as an electrolyte?

timama [110]

Solutes become electrolytes by ionizing. Ionic compounds therefore make good electrolytes; covalent compounds don't.

Answer:

The answer to your question is: ΔH = -283 kJ/mol, first option

Explanation:

Reaction

CO + O₂ ⇒ CO₂

ΔH = ∑H products - ∑H products

ΔH = -393.5 - (-110.5 + 0)

ΔH = -393.5 + 110.5

ΔH = -283 kJ/mol
