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

The products

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The products of self-ionization of water are OH⁻ and H⁺.

Explanation:

The water is self ionized according to the equation:

H₂O → OH⁻ + H⁺.

The ionic product for water (Kw) = [OH⁻][H⁺] = 10⁻¹⁴.

Kw is also called "self-ionization constant" or "auto-ionization constant".

Name the 2 isomers of c7h16 that contain 2 methyl branches, each branch on a different carbon of the parent chain.

kupik [55]

There can be a lot of meanings for isomers. In this case, we are showing the structural isomers of C₇H₁₆. Based on the chemical formula, CₓH₂ₓ₊₂ it is an alkane. They only differ in the positions of methane branches in the parent carbon chain. Basing on the attached picture, the parent carbon chain is pentane for both isomers. But the methyl branches are on the 2nd & 4th, and 2nd & 3rd carbon for 2,4 - dimethylpentane and 2,3 - dimethylpentane, respectively.

Entropy can be thought of as the degree of disorganization of a system. TRUE FALSE

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The entropy of a system denoted by S is a thermodynamic function that increases in value when there are more ways to arrange the particles in the system. Some spontaneous chemical processes are entropy driven. An increase in entropy is said to drive the dissolution of ionic salts along with the evaporation of water are related to the spreading out of energy.

The entropy of a system can be taken as a measure of disorder of a system. In a spontaneous chemical process, the entropy of the universe is said to increase. ΔSunivu>0. Making the answer true.
