Answer:

BrO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂(aq) + 4 H⁺→ Br⁻(aq) + NO₃⁻ + 2 H₂O

Explanation:

The law of conservation of matter states that since no atom can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms that are present in the reagents has to be equal to the number of atoms present in the products.

Then, you must balance the chemical equation. For that, you must first look at the subscripts next to each atom to find the number of atoms in the equation. If the same atom appears in more than one molecule, you must add its amounts.  

The coefficients located in front of each molecule indicate the amount of each molecule for the reaction. This coefficient can be modified to balance the equation, just as you should never alter the subscripts.

By multiplying the coefficient mentioned by the subscript, you get the amount of each element present in the reaction.

Then, taking into account all of the above, you can determine the amount of elements on each side of the equation:

Left side: 1 Br, 5 O and 1 N

Right side: 1 Br, 3 O and 1 N

If the reaction occurs in an acidic medium:

  • Each excess oxygen atom is balanced by adding a molecule of water to the other side of the reaction.
  • Hydrogens are balanced by adding protons (H⁺) on the opposite side to the water molecules.

So, balancing the oxygen:

BrO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂(aq) → Br⁻(aq) + NO₃⁻ + 2 H₂O

Left side: 1 Br, 5 O and 1 N

Right side: 1 Br, 5 O, 1 N and 4 H

Then, balancing the hydrogens:

<em><u>BrO₃⁻ (aq) + NO₂(aq) + 4 H⁺→ Br⁻(aq) + NO₃⁻ + 2 H₂O</u></em>

Left side: 1 Br, 5 O, 1 N and 4 H

Right side: 1 Br, 5 O, 1 N and 4 H

You can see that you have the same amount on each side of the reaction. So the reaction is balanced.

The  moles of O2 are needed to react completely with 1.00 mol of C₂H₂ is 5 mol , 0.23  moles of C₂H₂ are needed to form 0.46 mol of CO₂ .

<h3>What is a Balanced Reaction ?</h3>

A balanced reaction is a reaction in which the number of atoms present in the reactants is equal to the number of atoms in the products.

It is given in the question that

the combustion of Acetylene is given by

2 H―C≡C―H + 5 O₂ → 4 CO₂ + 2 H₂O

Given moles of Acetylene = 1 mol

Moles of oxygen needed = 5 mol

as the mole fraction of Acetylene to Oxygen is 1 :5

The mole of Acetylene needed to form 0.46 mol of CO₂ is ?

mole fraction of CO₂ to Acetylene is 4:2

Therefore 0.23 moles of CO₂ is required.

Is the atom indicated with an arrow nucleophilic, electrophilic, acidic, more than one of these choices, or none of these choice
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

c) acidic

Explanation:

pKa is a value which describes the acidity of a solution. The solution is pKa ≤ 25 which means that the solution is more acidic. The lower value of pKa tells us that the solution is more acidic but when the pKa value of solution increases the acidity of the solution is also decreases. Due to lower value of pKa, the acid in the solution is fully dissociates in water.-5 to 50 is the range of the value of pKa for different solutions.
