Answer:

2KHCO3+ H3PO4 arrow K2HPO4 + 2 H20 + 2C02

Explanation:

2KHCO3+ H3PO4 arrow K2HPO4 + 2 H20 + 2C02

Start with the Ks. Don't start on the right. Just balance the Ks on the left. The reason is that the CO3 is going to break down as well.

2KHCO3+ H3PO4 arrow K2HPO4 + H20 + C02

Leave the PO4 alone. Now look at the Hs that are on the right. There are 5 on the left. Leave the K2HPO4 alone. If you put a 2 in front of tthe H2O then you have a total of 5 Hs on the right.

2KHCO3+ H3PO4 arrow K2HPO4 + 2H20 + C02

There are 2 carbons on the left. You need 2 on the right.

2KHCO3+ H3PO4 arrow K2HPO4 + 2H20 + 2C02

That should do it.

Let's make a table to show balance.

Species K H C PO4- O

Left 2 5 2 1 6 from CO3^(2-)

Right 2 5 2 1 6 from H2O/CO2

When 8.70 kJ of thermal energy is added to 2.50 mol of liquid methanol, it vaporizes. Determine the heat of vaporization in kJ/m

Anni [7]

Answer:

The heat of vaporisation of methanol is "3.48 KJ/Mol"

Explanation:

The amount of heat energy required to convert or transform 1 gram of liquid to vapour is called heat of vaporisation

When 8.7 KJ of heat energy is required to vaporize 2.5 mol of liquid methanol.

Hence, for 1 mol of liquid methanol, amount of heat energy required to evaporate the methanol is = $\frac{8.7}{2.5}KJ$

= 3.48 KJ

So, the heat of vaporization $\delta H_{vap} = 3.48KJ/Mol$

Therefore, the heat of vaporization of methanol is 3.48KJ/Mol

Consider the following intermediate chemical equations. When you form the final chemical equation, what should you do with CO? C

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Cancel out CO because it appears as a reactant in one intermediate reaction and a product in the other intermediate reaction.

Explanation:

The CO appears twice hence in he intermediate reaction it only forms path of the enabling reagents and it further reacts to form the final product. Accounting for the CO in the intermediate reaction that undergoes further reaction will impact on the stoichiometry of the reaction.
