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

Which law is based on the graph that is shown below? A graph is shown with pressure on the horizontal axis and volume on the ver

DIA [1.3K]

<u>Answer:</u>

"Boyle's Law" is based on the graph that is shown below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Boyle's law or Boyle – Mariotte law or Mariotte's law, is an experimental gas law that discusses how a gas's pressure tends to rise as the container volume start declining. This shows the relationship between pressure and volume for a fixed mass at a constant temperature, i.e., number of a gas molecules.This rule visualizes the actions of gas molecules in a confined space. This law can be understood from following equation:

p₁V₁ = p₂V₂

Above the product of the initial volume and pressure is equal to the product of the volume and pressure after a change.

Answer:

HCl is not a catalyst because these are not used up during the chemical reactions.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the performed experiments, it is possible for us to realize that HCl cannot be a catalyst for this reaction because it is used up during the reaction. This is explained by the fact that catalyst are able to return to the original form once the reaction has gone to completion; this is the example of palladium in the hydrogenation or dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons depending on the case. Moreover, we know that the catalysts increase the reaction rate because they decrease the activation energy of the reaction and therefore the student observed such increase.

Best regards!

The decomposition of NI3 to form N2 and I2 releases −290.0 kJ of energy. The reaction can be represented as 2NI3(s)→N2(g)+3I2(g)

EastWind [94]

Answer:

-7.34 kilo Joules is the change in enthaply when 20.0 grams of nitrogen triiodide decomposes.

Explanation:

Mass of nitrogen triiodide = 20.0 g

Moles of nitrogen triiodide = $\frac{20.0 g}{395 g/mol}=0.05063 mol$

$2NI_3(s)\rightarrow N_2(g)+3I_2(g), \Delta H_{rxn}=-290.0 kJ$

According to reaction, 2 moles of nitrogen triiodide gives 290.0 kilo Joules of heat on decomposition ,then 0.05063 moles of nitrogen triiodide will give :

$\frac{-290.0 kJ}{2}\times 0.05063=-7.34 kJ$

-7.34 kilo Joules is the change in enthaply when 20.0 grams of nitrogen triiodide decomposes.
