The group VIA elements are called chalcogens because most ores of copper (Greek chalkos) are oxides or sulfides, and such ores contain traces of selenium and tellurium.
12 HClO₄ + 1 P₄O₁₀ → 4 H₃PO₄ + 6 Cl₂O₇
<h3>Explanation</h3>
Balance by the conservation of atoms.
Assign coefficient <em>1 </em>to the species with the largest number of elements and atoms. H₃PO₄ contains three elements. Each of its molecule contains eight atoms, that's two more than the six atoms in a HClO₄ molecule. Start by assigning H₃PO₄ a coefficient of <em>1</em>.
? HClO₄ + ? P₄O₁₀ → <em>1</em> H₃PO₄ + ? Cl₂O₇
There are now three H atoms, one P atom on the product side. H₃PO₄ is the only product that contains H and P atoms. As a result, there should be the same number of H and P atoms on the reactant side.
- Among all reactants, only HClO₄ contains H atoms. Each HClO₄ molecule contains one H atom. Three H atoms correspond to three HClO₄ molecule.
- Among all reactants, only P₄O₁₀ contains P atoms. Each P₄O₁₀ molecule contains four P atoms. One P atom corresponds to 1/4 of a P₄O₁₀ molecule.
Thus
<em>3</em> HClO₄ + <em>1/4</em> P₄O₁₀ → <em>1</em> H₃PO₄ + ? Cl₂O₇
There are three Cl atoms in three HClO₄ molecules. HClO₄ is the only species that contains Cl among all reactants. There are three Cl atoms on the reactant side and shall be the same number of Cl atoms on the product side.
- Cl₂O₇ is the only molecule that contains Cl among the products. Each Cl₂O₇ molecule contains two Cl atoms. Three Cl atoms will correspond to 3/2 Cl₂O₇ molecules.
<em>3</em> HClO₄ + <em>1/4</em> P₄O₁₀ → <em>1</em> H₃PO₄ + <em>3/2</em> Cl₂O₇
Multiply both sides by the least common multiple of the denominators to eliminate the fraction. The least common multiple in this case is four.
12 HClO₄ + 1 P₄O₁₀ → 4 H₃PO₄ + 6 Cl₂O₇
This statement is true. The rate of the reaction is measured by how fast a reactant is used up, or how fast a product is formed. This all tie's into the usage of energy.
Answer:- 21.4 grams of 
are formed.
Solution:- The balanced equation is:
From this equation, lithium and nitrogen reacts in 6:1 mol ratio. Limiting reactant gives the theoretical yield of the product. We will calculate the grams of the product for the given grams of both the reactants and see which one of them gives the limited amount of the product. This limited amount of the product will be the theoretical yield.
The molar mass of Li is 6.94 gram per mol and for 
It is 28.02 gram per mol. The molar mass of is 34.83 gram per mol. The calculations for the grams of the product for given grams of both the reactants are shown below:
= 
= 
From above calculations, Li gives least amount of the product. So, 21.4 g of are formed.
Answer:
A disproportionation reaction is when a multiatomic species whose pertinent element has a specific oxidation state gets oxidized and reduced in two separate half-reactions, yielding two other products containing the same pertinent element. A convenient example is Mn2O3 becoming Mn2+ and MnO2 .
