Chemical equations must always balance due to the principles outlined in The Law Of Conservation of Matter. This scientific law states that matter cannot be created out of nothing nor can it be destroyed.

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Law of conservation of mass state that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed.  Also chemical reaction of the sum is outlined in The Law Of Conservation of Matter.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In a chemical reaction the sum of the masses of the products will be equal to the sum of the masses of the reactants. <em>Thus a chemical reaction conserves the total mass.</em> For this law to be valid the system where the reactions take place should be closed.

It has to be properly ensured that there is no transfer of energy or mass between the system and its outer environment. <em>If that happens the sum of masses of products differs from that of the reactants due to the gain or loss of matter to surroundings.  </em>

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The equilibrium will be shifted to lift with the formation of a brown gelatinous precipitate of Fe(OH)₃.

Explanation:

  • Le Chatelier's principle states that <em>"when any system at equilibrium for is subjected to change in concentration, temperature, volume, or pressure, then the system readjusts itself to counteract the effect of the applied change and a new equilibrium is established that is different from the old equilibrium"</em>.
  • The addition of NaOH will result in the formation of Fe(OH)₃ precipitate which has a brown gelatinous precipitate.
  • The formation of this precipitate cause removal and decrease of Fe³⁺ ions.
  • According to Le Chatelier's principle, the system will be shifted to lift to increase Fe³⁺ concentration and reduce the stress of Fe³⁺ removal and readjust the equilibrium again. So, the [Fe(SCN)²⁺] decreases.
  • Increasing [Fe³⁺] will produce a yellow color solution that contains a brown gelatinous precipitate of Fe(OH)₃.

A covalent bond describes two atoms (most likely nonmetals) that share their valence electrons to satisfy the octet rule. Carbon and oxygen are both nonmetals, and they would share electrons with each other through a bond that is not polar enough to be considered ionic. The answer should be B

Draw the Lewis structure for BrCl3. What are the approximate bond angles about the central atom?
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

BrCl₃ is an interhalogen compound with a hybridization of sp³d. The approximate bond angles can be predicted from the structure (attached below). Although, the lewis structure might be predicted to be trigonal bipyramidal from the structure, it is however a T-shaped geometry because of it's two lone pairs.

Also, from the structure attached, it can be predicted that the approximate bond angles about the central atom is 120° (360 ÷ 3) since each of the three chlorine atoms is equally spaced about the central atom.
