Answer:

The least whole number coefficient for HNO₃ is 6

Explanation:

The chemical equation above is the reaction between calcium orthophosphate and nitric acid.

To balance a chemical equation, we have to consider law of conservation of matter which states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed.

What this law implies is that, whatever we have at the reactant side must be equal to whatever is obtainable at the product side.

The above equation is

Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + HNO₃ → Ca(NO₃)₂ + H₃PO₄

To balance the equation, we'll have to check the number of atoms at each side and possibly balance the equation with the number of moles.

The balanced equation is

Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 6HNO₃ → 3Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2H₃PO₄

From the balanced equation above, we can see that the number of calcium (Ca), Phosphorus (P), Oxygen(O), Nitrogen(N) and hydrogen (H) are balanced at both sides of the equation.

The least number coefficient for HNO₃ is 6

Calculate the boiling point of water if the atmospheric pressure is 630 mmhg

Mumz [18]

The boiling point of water can be calculated by the equation:

Where:

P = Pressure in mm Hg

Po = Atmospheric pressure in mm Hg

ΔH= heat of vaporization in kJ/mol

R = Ideal Gas Constant (J/mol-K)

To = normal boiling point in Kelvin

T = boiling point of water (K)

Our known values are:

P = 630 mm Hg

Po = 760 mm Hg

ΔH = 40.66 kJ/mol = 40.66×1000 =40660

R = 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K ⁻¹

To = 373 K

Putting these values in the equation,

$ln \frac{P_{0}}{P}= \frac{\Delta H}{R}(\frac{1}{T}-\frac{1}{T_{0}})$

$ln \frac{760}{630}= \frac{40660}{8.314}(\frac{1}{T}-\frac{1}{373})$

Solving the equation will give:

T=370K

so, the boiling point of water is 370 K.
