Answer:

The balanced equation is:

2 NaCl + H₂SO₄ ---> Na₂SO₄ + 2 HCl

Explanation:

For balance the chemical equation, 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

Left side: 1 sodium Na, 1 chlorine Cl, 2 hydrogen, 1 sulfur S and 4 oxygen.

Right side: 2 sodium Na, 1 chlorine Cl, 1 hydrogen, 1 sulfur S and 4 oxygen.

The coefficients of each molecule below 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. So, in this case, since all the coefficients are 1, the quantity of each element on each side of the reaction is maintained.

Since the amount of sodium Na is different on each side of the reaction, the equation will be balanced as follows:

2 NaCl + H₂SO₄ ---> Na₂SO₄ + HCl

Now you have:

Left side: 2*1=2 sodium Na, 2*1=2 chlorine Cl, 2 hydrogen, 1 sulfur S and 4 oxygen.

Right side: 2 sodium Na, 1 chlorine Cl, 1 hydrogen, 1 sulfur S and 4 oxygen.

Since the amount of chlorine Cl is different on each side of the reaction, the equation will be balanced as follows:

2 NaCl + H₂SO₄ ---> Na₂SO₄ + 2 HCl

Now you have:

Left side: 2*1=2 sodium Na, 2*1=2 chlorine Cl, 2 hydrogen, 1 sulfur S and 4 oxygen.

Right side: 2 sodium Na, 2*1=2 chlorine Cl, 2*1=2 hydrogen, 1 sulfur S and 4 oxygen.

Note that you finally get the same amount of each element on each side of the reaction. So the balanced equation is:

2 NaCl + H₂SO₄ ---> Na₂SO₄ + 2 HCl

If the pressure of the reactants increase, What happens to the product.

EastWind [94]

Increasing the pressure on a reaction involving reacting gases increases the rate of reaction. Changing the pressure on a reaction which involves only solids or liquids has no effect on the rate.

Oxalic acid, H2C2O4, reacts

Dominik [7]

Answer:0.005M

Explanation:

First deduce the oxidation and reduction half equations and from that obtain the balanced redox reaction equation. From that, the number of moles of reacting species are seen from the stoichiometry of the reaction from which the number of moles of oxalate is obtained and substituted to obtain the molar concentration of oxalate.

How many grams of CO2 gas are produced if 48 grams of CH4 gas are consumed?

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

CH4 +2 O2 — CO2 +2 H2O

Now we see that for 1 mol i.e. 16 grams of methane results in 1 mol of CO2 or 44 grams of CO2.

That means for 3 moles of methane , we will obtain 3 moles of CO2 OR for 48 (3*16) grams of CO2 , we will obtain (44*3) 132 grams of CO2 .That's it….

During El Niño, changes in wind and ocean current patterns result in warm waters stretching across the whole Pacific Ocean. This extra heating causes changes in wind patterns, which causes atmosphere to react and change all the way from the ground to the edge of space around Earth.
