Answer:

The equation in option D is balanced

D) 8CO2 + 3S8 → 8CS2 + 8SO2

Explanation:

A) Pb(NO3)2 + FeCl3 → Fe(NO3)3 + PbCl2

⇒ This equation is NOT balanced

⇒ On the left side we have 3x Cl, while on the right side we have 2x Cl. To balance the amount of Cl on both sides we have to multiply FeCl3 (on the left side) by 2 and PbCl2 (on the right side) by 3

Pb(NO3)2 + 2FeCl3 → Fe(NO3)3 + 3PbCl2

⇒ now we have 2x Fe on the left side and 1x Fe on the right side. To balance the amount of Fe on both sides, we have to multiply Fe(NO3)3 (on the right side) by 2

Pb(NO3)2 + 2FeCl3 → 2Fe(NO3)3 + 3PbCl2

⇒ On the left we have 1x Pb , on the right side we have 3x Pb. To balance the amount of Pb on both sides we have to multiply Pb(NO3)2 (on the left side) by 3. Now the equation is balanced.

3Pb(NO3)2 + 2FeCl3 → 2Fe(NO3)3 + 3PbCl2

B) C3H5(NO3)3 → CO2 + H2O + N2 + O2

⇒ This equation is NOT balanced

⇒ On the left side we have 5x H, on the right side we have 2x H. To balance the amount of H on both sides we have to multiply C3H5(NO3)3 (on the left side) by 2 and H2O (on the right side) by 5

2C3H5(NO3)3 → CO2 + 5H2O + N2 + O2

⇒ On the left side we have 6x C, on the right side we have 1xC

To balance the amount of C on both sides we have to multiply CO2 (on the right side) by 6.

2C3H5(NO3)3 → 6CO2 + 5H2O + N2 + O2

⇒ On the left side we have 6x N, on the right side we have 2N

To balance the amount of N on both sides we have to multiply N2 (on the right side) by 3

2C3H5(NO3)3 → 6CO2 + 5H2O + 3N2 + O2

⇒ Now we have 18x O on the left side and 19x O on the right side

To balance the amount of O we should multiply 2C3H5(NO3)3 (on the left side) by 2 and multiply 6CO2 + 5H2O + 3N2 (on the right side) each by 2.

Now the equation is balanced.

4C3H5(NO3)3 → 12CO2 + 10H2O + 6N2 + O2

C) Fe2O3(s) + C(s) → Fe(S) + CO2(g)

⇒ This equation is NOT balanced

⇒ On the left side we have 2x Fe, on the right side we have 1x Fe. To balance the amount of Fe on both sides, we have to multiply Fe (on the right side) by 2

Fe2O3(s) + C(s) →2Fe(S) + CO2(g)

⇒ On the left side we have 3x O, on the right side we have 2x O

To balance the amount of O on both sides. we have to mulitply Fe2O3 (on the left side) by 2 and CO2 (on the right side) by 3. Then we see that we have 4x Fe on the left side, so we have to multiply 2FE (on the right side) by 2 as well.

2 Fe2O3(s) + C(s) → 4Fe(S) + 3CO2(g)

⇒ On the right side we 3x C, on the left side we have 1x C. To balance the amount of C on both sides, we have to multiply C (on the left side) by 3. Now the equation is balanced.

2 Fe2O3(s) + 3C(s) → 4Fe(S) + 3CO2(g)

D) 8CO2 + 3S8 → 8CS2 + 8SO2

⇒ This equation is balanced !

A 12-liter tank contains helium gas pressurized to 160 \rm atm.How many 3-liter balloons could the 12-L helium tank fill? Keep i

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

636 balloons

Explanation:

If we assume that helium gas follows an ideal gas behaviour, we can use the ideal gas law to solve this problem as follows:

We consider two different states, the initial given by the conditions of the problem statement and the final, when the tank reaches atmospheric pressure and it's no longer able to fill balloons: $P_{1}=160 atm\\V_{1}=12 L\\P_{2}=1 atm\\V_{2}= ?$
To find out what would be this volume 2, we use the Boyle's Law: $P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2}\\V_{2}=\frac{P_{1}V_{1}}{P_{2}} \\V_{2}=\frac{160 atm \times 12L}{1 atm}\\V_{2}=1920 L$
Now we find the available volume to fill the balloons by substracting both, volume 2 and volume 1: $V_{b}=V_{2}-V_{1}=1920L-12L=1908 L$
Finally, we determine the quantity of ballons by dividing that available volume between the volume of each ballon: $B=\frac{1908L}{3L} =636 balloons$

Express the concentration of a 0.0320 M aqueous solution of fluoride, F−, in mass percentage and in parts per million (ppm). Ass

denis23 [38]

Answer:

607 ppm

Explanation:

In this case we can start with the ppm formula:

$ppm=\frac{mg~of~solute}{Litters~of~solution}$

If we have a solution of 0.0320 M, we can say that in 1 L we have 0.032 mol of $F^-$ , because the molarity formula is:

$M=\frac{mol}{L}$

In other words:

$0.0320~M=\frac{mol}{1~L}$

$mol=0.032~M*1~L=0.032~mol$

$1~L~of~Solution=0.0320~mol~of~solute$

If we use the atomic mass of $F$ (19 g/mol) we can convert from mol to g:

$0.0320~mol~F^-\frac{19~g~F^-}{1~mol~F^-}~=~0.607~g$

Now we can convert from g to mg (1 g= 1000 mg), so:

$0.607~g\frac{1000~mg}{1~g}=607~mg$

Finally we can divide by 1 L to find the ppm:

$ppm=\frac{607~mg}{1~L}=~607~ppm$

We will have a concentration of 607 ppm.

I hope it helps!

Refraction occurs when the speed of light changes as it travels between mediums. T F

Mariana [72]

The answer is true

Refraction is an effect that occurs when a light wave, incident at an angle away from the normal, passes a boundary from one medium into another in which there is a change in velocity of the light.The wavelength decreases as the light enters the medium and the light wave changes direction.

Why is acid added to water during eletrolysis

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Pure water is a non conductor of electricity and dilute acids in their aqueous solutions form free ions, which conducts electricity. Thus when we need to electrolyse water, a dilute acid is added to increase its conductivity.
