8 S

In this case you must start balancing the sulfur to have 8 on each side of the reaction. So:

Answer:

Explanation:

The law of conservation of matter states that since no atom can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms that are present in the reagents has to be equal to the number of atoms present in the products.

Then, you must balance the chemical equation. For that, you must first look at the subscripts next to each atom to find the number of atoms in the equation. If the same atom appears in more than one molecule, you must add its amounts.  

The coefficients located in front of each molecule indicate the amount of each molecule for the reaction. This coefficient can be modified to balance the equation, just as you should never alter the subscripts.

By multiplying the coefficient mentioned by the subscript, you get the amount of each element present in the reaction.

Then, taking into account all of the above, you can determine the amount of elements on each side of the equation:

Left side: 2 H and 1 S

Right side: 2 H and 8 S

In this case you must start balancing the sulfur to have 8 on each side of the reaction. So:

8 H₂S → H₂ + S₈

Now the amount of elements on each side of the equation:

Left side: 16 H and 8  

Right side: 2 H and 8 S

Now you need to start balancing the hydrogen to get the same amount from each side of the reaction. So:

8 H₂S → 8 H₂ + S₈

Now the amount of elements on each side of the equation:

Left side: 16 H and 8  

Right side: 16 H and 8 S

<u><em>The balanced reaction is:</em></u>

<u><em>8 H₂S → 8 H₂ + S₈</em></u>

Chlorine can bond with fluorine to form CIF. Chlorine can also bond with lithium to form LiCI Which compound will have a greater
Sergio [31]

Answer: ClF will have a greater partial charge.

Explanation:

A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a low difference of electronegativities between the atoms, thus resulting in charge difference. Example: ClF

Non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is no difference of electronegativities between the atoms and thus there is no charge difference. Example: F_2

Ionic bond is formed when there is complete transfer of electron from a highly electropositive metal to a highly electronegative non metal. The electronegative difference between the elements is high. The charges on cation and anion neutralise each other. Example: LiCl

Thus as ClF will have greater partial charge.

calculate the number of moles of sulfuric acid that is contained in 250 mL of 8.500 M sulfuric acid solution
san4es73 [151]

Answer : The moles of H_2SO_4 are, 2.125 mole.

Explanation : Given,

Molarity of H_2SO_4 = 8.500 M

Volume of solution = 250 mL  = 0.250 L    (1 L = 1000 mL)

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one liter of volume of solution.

Formula used :

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

8.500M=\frac{\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4}{0.250L}

\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4=2.125mol

Therefore, the moles of H_2SO_4 are, 2.125 mole.
