The balanced equation :

2KOH+CO₂⇒K₂CO₃+H₂O

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Equalization of chemical reaction equations can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:

1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c etc.

2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index between reactant and product

3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1

Reaction

KOH+CO₂⇒K₂CO₃+H₂O

give coeffiecient

aKOH+bCO₂⇒K₂CO₃+cH₂O

make equation

K, left=a, right=2⇒a=2

H, left=a, right=2c⇒a=2c⇒2=2c⇒c=1

O, left=a+2b, right=3+c⇒a+2b=3+c⇒2+2b=3+1⇒2b=2⇒b=1

the equation becomes :

2KOH+CO₂⇒K₂CO₃+H₂O

Mg(OH)2 + 2 HBr à MgBr2 + 2 H2O

AnnyKZ [126]

Explanation:

The balanced equation of the reaction is given as;

Mg(OH)2 (s) + 2 HBr (aq) → MgBr2 (aq) + 2 H2O (l)

1. How many grams of MgBr2 will be produced from 18.3 grams of HBr?

From the reaction;

2 mol of HBr produces 1 mol of MgBr2

Converting to masses using;

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

Molar mass of HBr = 80.91 g/mol

Molar mass of MgBr2 = 184.113 g/mol

This means;

(2 * 80.91 = 161.82g) of HBr produces (1 * 184.113 = 184.113g) MgBr2

18.3g would produce x

161.82 = 184.113

18.3 = x

x = (184.113 * 18.3 ) / 161.82 = 20.8 g

2. How many moles of H2O will be produced from 18.3 grams of HBr?

Converting the mass to mol;

Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass = 18.3 / 80.91 = 0.226 mol

From the reaction;

2 mol of HBr produces 2 mol of H2O

0.226 mol would produce x

2 =2

0.226 = x

x = 0.226 * 2 / 2 = 0.226 mol

3. How many grams of Mg(OH)2 are needed to completely react with 18.3 grams of HBr?

From the reaction;

2 mol of HBr reacts with 1 mol of Mg(OH)2

18.3g of HBr = 0.226 mol

2 = 1

0.226 = x

x = 0.226 * 1 /2

x = 0.113 mol

Ammonia will decompose into nitrogen and hydrogen at high temperature. An industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a 500.

patriot [66]

Explanation:

Chemical reaction equation for the give decomposition of $NH_{3}$ is as follows:.

$2NH_{3}(g) \rightleftharpoons N_{2}(g) + 3H_{2}(g)$

And, initially only $NH_{3}$ is present.

The given data is as follows.

$P_{NH_{3}}$ = 2.3 atm at equilibrium

$P_{H_{2}} = 3 \times P_{N_{2}}$ = 0.69 atm

Therefore,

$P_{N_{2}} = \frac{0.69 atm}{3}$

= 0.23 aatm

So, $P_{NH_{3}}$ = 2.3 - 2(0.23)

= 1.84 atm

Now, expression for $K_{p}$ will be as follows.

$K_{p} = \frac{(P_{N_{2}})(P^{3}_{H_{2}})}{(P^{2}_{NH_{3}})}$

$K_{p} = \frac{(0.23) \times (0.69)^{3}}{(1.84)^{2}}$

= $\frac{0.23 \times 0.33}{3.39}$

= 0.0224

or, $K_{p} = 2.2 \times 10^{-2}$

Thus, we can conclude that the pressure equilibrium constant for the decomposition of ammonia at the final temperature of the mixture is $2.2 \times 10^{-2}$ .

Which pair of elements will form a ionic bond

Marianna [84]

Answer:

Barium and Chlorine

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed between metals and non metals where the metals lose electrons and become positively charged and the non metals gain electrons and become negatively charge. The opposite charges cause them to be attracted to each other and Bond. The only metal in those options above is Barium. Therefore an ionic bond will be formed between Barium and Chlorine.
