Answer:

K^+ and NO3^-

Explanation:

In a balanced ionic equation, we usually see the species that react to yield the main product in the reaction.

Consider the reaction;

Pb(NO3)2(aq) +2 KI(aq) -------> PbI2(s) + 2KNO3(aq)

The main product in this reaction is PbI2. Hence the balanced ionic equation is;

Pb^2+(aq) + 2I^-(aq) ------> PbI2(s)

Notice that K^+ and NO3^- did not participate in this reaction. All ions that are part of the molecular equation but do not participate in the ionic reaction equation are called spectator ions. Hence K^+ and NO3^- are spectator ions in this reaction as can be seen clearly above.

B. The rate of particle collisions increased with a higher temperature.

An inference is a guess that you make based on an observation. You can’t see the particles, so you are guessing (a) that they exist and (b) that the rate of their collisions increases with a higher temperature.

A, C, and D are all incorrect because they are observations that you make.

1. Interpret the following equation using moles, molecules, and volumes (assume STP). Compare the mass of the reactants to the m

blsea [12.9K]

1. In this reaction, 2 moles of nitrogen gas reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas to give 2 moles of N2O3 gas. 2 nitrogen molecules react with 3 oxygen molecules to give 2 N2O3 molecules. Under STP, one mole of an ideal gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters. So in this reaction, 44.8 liters of nitrogen gas reacts with 67.2 liters of oxygen gas to give 44.8 liters of N2O3 gas. The total mass of the reactants (N2 and O2) is the same as the total mass of the product (N2O3). This is called mass balance of a chemical reaction.

2. According to the chemical reaction, 3 moles of chlorine gas produces 2 moles of iron(III) chloride. So, to produce 1 moles of iron(III) chloride, 3/2 (1.5) moles of chlorine gas is required. Therefore, to produce 14 moles of iron(III) chloride, 14 x 1.5 = 21 moles of chlorine is needed.
