The chemical equation given below represents the chemical reaction between lithium (Li) and sulfur (S). In the equation, why is

the number 2 present in front of lithium on the reactants side of the equation?
A. to show the number of lithium atoms involved in the reaction
B. to show the number of electrons gained by lithium in the reaction
C. to show the atomic number of lithium in the periodic table
D. to show the number of electrons lost by lithium in the reaction

Answer:

A. to show the number of lithium atoms involved in the reaction

Explanation:

The reaction between lithium and sulfur produces lithium sulfide where two lithium and one sulfur atoms react.

Balanced equation: 2 Li + S = Li2S

The 2 present before Li on the reactant's side shows how many lithium atoms are supposed to be present per every 1 sulfur atom for this reaction to be balanced and true.

That is it! :)

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction equation is as follows.

         2Li + S \rightarrow Li_{2}S

As the number of atoms on both reactant and product side are the same. Hence, it is a balanced chemical reaction equation.

Here, number 2 before lithium atom represents that two atoms of lithium are taking part in the reaction. As there is no coefficient or number placed before the sulfur atom this means that only one atom of sulfur is reacting in the reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that the number 2 present in front of lithium on the reactants side of the equation shows the number of lithium atoms involved in the reaction.

Calculate how many methane molecules and how many carbon and hydrogen atoms are there in 25 g of Methane?​
sasho [114]

From the formula of methane it is clear that one mole of methane has 4hydrogen atoms. So, 37.6×1023 hydrogen atoms are there in 25.0 g of methane. Therefore, 9.4×1023methane molecules and 9.4×1023 hydrogen and 37.6×1023carbon atoms are there in 25.0 g of methane.

A balloon contains 3.9 moles of helium at a pressure of 234 kPa and 67°C temperature. What is the balloon's volume in liters?
leonid [27]

Answer:

47.1 L.

Explanation:

  • To solve these problems, we can use the general law of ideal gas: <em>PV = nRT.</em>

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm (P = 234.0 kPa/101.325 ≅ 2.31 atm)  .

V is the volume of the gas in L (V = ??? L).

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol (n = 3.9 mol).

R is the general gas constant (R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K),

T is the temperature of the gas in K (T = 67.0 °C + 273.15 = 340.15 K).

The volume of the gas = nRT/P.

<em>∴ V = nRT/P </em>= (3.9 mol)(0.082 L.atm/mol.K)(340.15 K)/(2.31 atm) = <em>47.1 L.</em>

To identify a liquid substance, a student determined its density. Using a graduated cylinder, she measured out a 45-mL sample of
nalin [4]

Answer:

Calculated density = 0.8555g/ mL

Probable identity = Toulene

Explanation:

First off, the substance choices are;

isopropyl alcohol (density 0. 785 g/ mL)

toluene ( density 0.866g/ mL)

So upon calculation, if the density of the liquid substance is equal to either of the substances in the choice, it is that substance.

The relationship between density, mass and volume is given as;

Density = Mass / Volume

Mass = 38.5g

Volume = 45ml

Density = 38.5 / 45 = 0.8555g/ mL

Calculated density = 0.8555g/ mL

Among both substances, it is closest to  toluene ( density 0.866g/ mL).

Probable identity = Toulene
