HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2

Chemistry
1 answer:
Igoryamba2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

Explanation:

HgS + O2 → HgO + SO2

The equation can be balance as follow:

Put 3 in front of O2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → HgO + SO2

Now we can see that there are 6 atoms of O on the left side of the equation and a total of 3 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgO and SO2 as shown below:

HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now we have 2 atoms of both Hg and S on the right side and 1atom each on the left. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of HgS as shown below:

2HgS + 3O2 → 2HgO + 2SO2

Now the equation is balanced.

The coefficients are: 2, 3, 2, 2

The law of conservation of mass(matter) states that matter(mass) can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction but changes from one form to another. An unbalanced equation suggests that matter has been created or destroyed. While a balanced equation proofs that matter can never be created but changes to different form. This is the more reason we have count the atoms of an element on both side of the equation to see if they are balanced irrespective of the new form they assume in the product

A 4.7-L sealed bottle containing 0.33 g of liquid ethanol,C₂H₆O, is placed in a refrigerator and reaches equilibrium with its va
Mama L [17]

The mass of ethanol present in the vapor is 8.8×10⁻²g. when liquid and vapor ethanol at equilibrium.

The volume of the bottle = 4.7 L

Mass of ethanol = 0.33 g

Temperature (T1) = -11 oC = 273-11 = 262 K

P1 = 6.65 torr

Now we will calculate the mole by applying the ideal gas equation:-

PV = nRT

Or, n = PV/RT

Where P is the pressure

 T is the temperature

 R is the gas constant = 0.0821 L atm mol-1K-1

 V is the volume

Substituting the values of P, V, T, and R the mole of ethanol is calculated as:-

  = 0.001913 mol C2H6

Conversion of the mole to gm

Molar mass of ethanol (M) = 46.07 g/mol

Mass of C2H6O =0.001913 mol C2H6O 46.07 g/mol = 0.088 =  8.8×10⁻²g.

Hence, the mass of ethanol present in the vapor is found to be  8.8×10⁻²g.

Biuret reagent will indicate the presence of
weeeeeb [17]
Biuret reagent will indicate the presence of protein in a given sample. It is also known as the Piotrowski's test. This reagent consists of copper (II) sulfate and sodium hydroxide. It detects peptide bonds by the reaction of the copper ions in an alkaline solution. The copper ions would form violet colored complexes when peptide is present in the solution. From this test, concentration can be calculated since the intensity of the color depends on the amount of peptide bonds and according to the Beer-Lambert law concentration and the absorption of light is proportional. The concentration is calculated by a spectrophotometric technique at a wavelength of 540 nm.

Balance this equation: Al+ HNO3 ---- H2 + Al(NO3)3​
romanna [79]

Answer:

2Al+ 6HNO3 ---- 3H2 + 2Al(NO3)3​

Explanation:

Put coefficient a,b,c, and d for calculation:

a Al + b HNO3 = c H2 + d Al(NO3)3

for Al: a = d

for H: b = 2c

for N: b = 3d

for O: 3b = 9d

Suppose a=1, then d=1, b=3, c=3/2

multiply 2 to make all natural number, a=2, then b=6, c=3, d=2
