Explain what is wrong with this balanced chemical equation and write the correct equation

Setler [38]4 years ago

Hey there!

SiO₂ + HF → SiF₄ + H₂O

The problem here is that there is not an equal amount of O, H, or F atoms on both sides of the equation.

So let's balance!

Balance F.

1 on the left, 4 on the right. Add a coefficient of 4 in front of HF.

SiO₂ + 4HF → SiF₄ + H₂O

Balance H.

4 on the left, 2 on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of H₂O.

SiO₂ + 4HF → SiF₄ + 2H₂O

Balance O.

2 on the left, 2 on the right. Already balanced.

Balance Si.

1 on the left, 1 on the right. Already balanced.

Our final balanced equation: SiO₂ + 4HF → SiF₄ + 2H₂O

Hope this helps!

29.47 mL of a solution of the acid HBr is titrated, and 72.90 mL of 0.2500-M NaOH is required to reach the equivalence point. Ca
Klio2033 [76]

The original concentration of the acid solution is 6.175 \times 10^-4 mol / L.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Concentration is the ratio of solute in a solution to either solvent or total solution. It is expressed in terms of mass per unit volume

                        HBr + NaOH -----> NaBr + H2O

There is a 1:1 equivalence with acid and base.

Moles of NaOH = 72.90 \times 10^-3 \times 0.25

                          = 0.0182 mol.

[ HBr ] = moles of base / volume of a solution

          = 0.0182 / 29.47

          = 6.175 \times 10^-4 mol / L.

Which of the following is a heterogeneous mixture? Air. Salt water. Steel. Soil.
kicyunya [14]

Answer: Heterogenous mixtures are the ones in which we can see the different components clearly. Air is considered to be homogenous, because we don't see the different noble gases' particles floating around. Salt water is also homogenous, because salt dissolves almost completely into water, becoming hard to see without the proper equipment salt particles in it. Steel is also homogenous, since the metals that compose it are mixed during the heating. The only heterogenous would be soil, because we can see different particles in it, with different sizes, shapes, colors, etc without having to use special equipment.
