Answer:

D. 15g

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that, in a chemical reaction, mass can neither be created nor destroyed. This means that the amount of matter in the elements of the reactants must be equal to the amount in the resulting products.

In this question, 25 grams of a reactant AB, was broken down in a reaction to produce 10 grams of products A and X grams of product B. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the reactant must be equal to the total mass of the products. This means that 25 grams must also be the total mass of both products in this reaction. Hence, if product A is 10 grams, product B will be 25 grams - 10 grams = 15 grams.

Therefore, product B must be 15 grams in order to form a total of 25 grams when added to the mass of product A. This will equate the mass of the reactant AB and fulfill the law of conservation of mass.

Rewrite the equation below using the correct conventions for stoichiometric coefficients. 2 BaCl2 + 2 H2SO4 → 2 BaSO4 + 4 HCl

vichka [17]

Answer:

$BaCl2+H2SO4 \rightarrow BaSO4+2HCl$

Explanation:

The given equation is:

$2 BaCl2+2H2SO4 \rightarrow2BaSO4+4HCl$

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

2 moles of barium chloride (BaCl2) reacts with 2 moles of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to form 2 moles of barium sulfate (BaSO4) and 4 moles of HCl

Although the reaction is balanced, the correct convention is to depict reactions in terms of the lowest molar ratio. Therefore the coefficients (2,2,4 and 4) can be divided by 2 to give:

$BaCl2+H2SO4 \rightarrow BaSO4+2HCl$

Helllpppp!!!!!! Please

pav-90 [236]

Answer: (C) Statements (i) and (iii)

Explanation: According to byjus.com, group VII elements are known as Halogens.

Not only that, but bbc.co.uk says " Atoms of group 7 elements all have seven electrons in their outer shell. This means that the halogens all have similar chemical reactions ."

It may just be (b) though as these are chemical reactions.

The freezing point of ethanol, CH3CH2OH, is -117.300 °C at 1 atmosphere. Kf(ethanol) = 1.99 °C/m

MAXImum [283]

Answer : The molecular weight of this compound is 891.10 g/mol

Explanation : Given,

Mass of compound = 12.70 g

Mass of ethanol = 216.5 g

Formula used :

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m\\\\T_f^o-T_f=i\times T_f\times\frac{\text{Mass of compound}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of compound}\times \text{Mass of ethanol}}$
