What net ionic equation describes the reaction between Pb(NO3)2(aq) and Na2CO3(aq)?
loris [4]

Answer:

Pb⁺²(aq) + CO₃⁻²(aq) →  PbCO₃ (s)

In net ionic equation we cancel the ions that have equal moles on both sides so  Na⁺¹ and NO₃⁻¹ have equal moles on both sides so we canceled them.

Explanation:

Net ionic equation:

In net ionic equation we only write the ions that are involved in reaction. If the system have same moles of ions in initial and final stages we cancel them as they have the same amount and are present in ionic form in the reaction medium. To formulate an ionic equation we just cancel the ions which have the same moles in initial and final stages.

Chemical equation:

Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Na₂CO₃(aq) → PbCO₃ (s) + NaNO₃ (aq)

Balanced chemical equation:

In a balanced chemical equation we write the reactants and products in molecular form with number of moles.

Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq) + Na₂CO₃(aq) → PbCO₃ (s) + 2NaNO₃ (aq)

Ionic equation:

In ionic equation we write the equation in ionic form. It involves all the ions which will produce when we add any ionic compound in reaction medium.

Pb⁺² +2NO₃⁻¹ + CO₃⁻² + 2Na⁺¹  → PbCO3 (s) + 2NO₃⁻¹ (aq) + 2Na⁺¹ (aq)

Net ionic equation

In net ionic equation we cancel the ions that have equal moles on both sides. As we can see in the above ionic equation that Na⁺¹ and NO₃⁻¹ have equal moles on both sides so we canceled them.

Pb⁺²(aq) + CO₃⁻²(aq)  → PbCO₃ (s)

The cylinder shown contains 0.79 moles of nitrogen, 0.19 moles of oxygen and 0.02 moles carbon dioxide, a total of 1.00 mole of
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

b) increases by a factor of about 2.

Explanation:

Ignore the nitrogen and oxygen. Each gas acts independently of the others.

You have 0.02 mol of CO₂ gas at some pressure in equilibrium with the CO₂ in solution.

According to Graham's Law,

S  = kp

That is, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to its partial pressure above the liquid.

If you add another 0.02 mol of CO₂, you have doubled the number of moles.

According to Avogadro's Law, doubling the number of moles doubles the pressure.

According to Graham's Law, doubling the pressure doubles the solubility.

The solubility of CO₂ increases by a factor of two.

One gram of Sn was electroplated from a SnCl, solution in 30 minutes. What was the current used?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

0.903 A

Explanation:

We have given mass of Sn = 1 gram

Time t=30 minutes=30×60=1800 sec

According to Faraday law m=zit

Where z is electron chemical equivalent

z is calculated by z=\frac{atomic\ mass}{nF} where n is number of element and F is Faraday constant

So z=\frac{atomic\ mass}{nF}=\frac{118.71}{2\times 96500}=0.000615

So 1=0.000615\times i\times 1800

i =0.903 A

Write a scientific explanation that answers the following question: How do you know scientifically that fat and soap are differe
Fantom [35]
Fat and soap are different substances. <span>One reason is that they have a different malleability. The Soap is very hard and sturdy. The fat is soft. Also, soap and fat are different because they had different smells. The soap had a refreshing smell and a soapy one and the fat smelled rubbery like Play-doh.  Another reason why fat and soap are different substances is that they don’t dissolve the same in water and oil. Soap is soluble in water and shortening is not soluble in water. Soap is not soluble in oil and shortening is soluble in oil. In the water shortening did not become cloudy but soap did. When placed in oil, the shortening disappeared completely, while soap did not change at all.The melting point of the fat was 57.6 we could not find the melting point of the soap. The soaps melting point is higher than the water's boiling point. A property is something that describes an object and does not change. For example, the soap is white, where the fat is off white. Color is a property. Fat and soap are also different because they have different densities. The soap sank but the fat floated. The density of fat is about .88 g/ml and the density of soap is about 1.18 g/ml. </span><span>Fat and soap are not the same substances one reason is they have different properties.Malleability, hardness, solubility, melting point,color, and density are all properties. </span>A property is a characteristic of a substance that does not change. Different substances have different properties.<span> If they had the same properties, they would be the same substance, but, since they don’t, they are different substances.

Hope this helps :D</span>
