marshall27 [118]3 years ago
3 0
A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of a substance. It is important to know because it can help define what the substance is, because if it has certain characteristics than a certain element, it can be traced to a specific substance.

Fill in the coefficients that will balance the following reaction:
vfiekz [6]

6NaC₂H₃O₂   +  Fe₂O₃   →   2Fe(C₂H₃O₂)₃  +  3Na₂O

Explanation:

Given equation;

      NaC₂H₃O₂   +  Fe₂O₃   →   Fe(C₂H₃O₂)₃  +  Na₂O

To find the coefficient that will balance this we equation, let us set up simple mathematical algebraic expressions that we can readily solve.

Let us have at the back of our mind that, in every chemical reaction, the number of atom is usually conserved.

      aNaC₂H₃O₂   +  bFe₂O₃   →   cFe(C₂H₃O₂)₃  +  dNa₂O

a, b, c and d are the coefficients that  will balance the equation.

 conserving Na;    a  = 2d

                       C:     2a  = 6c

                       H:     3a  = 9c

                       O;      2a + 3b  = 6c + d

                       Fe:     2b = c

let a = 1

    solving:

      2a = 6c

       2(1) = 6c

          c = \frac{2}{6}  = \frac{1}{3}

      2b = c

          b = \frac{1}{2}  x \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{6}

     d = 2a + 3b - 6c = 2(1 ) + (3 x\frac{1}{6}  )  - (6  x  \frac{1}{3}) = \frac{1}{2}

Now multiply through by 6

  a = 6, b = 1, c = 2 and d = 3

             

                6NaC₂H₃O₂   +  Fe₂O₃   →   2Fe(C₂H₃O₂)₃  +  3Na₂O

Give the oxidation number of the element indicated for each compound.
NARA [144]

Answer:

a. C: +3 ; b. N: +5 ; c. S:+6 ; d. C: +4; e. Mn: +7 ; f. Cr: +6.

Explanation:

Global charges in molecules is 0

You sum all the oxidation states to determine the oxidation state for the compound.

Na₂C₂O₄ → Sodium oxalate → Global charge: 0

Oxidation state for C: +3

HNO₃ → Nitric acid → Global charge: 0

Oxidation state for N: +5

H₂SO₄ → Sulfuric acid → Global charge: 0

Oxidation state for S: +6

HCO₃⁻  →  Bicarbonate → Global charge: -1, this is an anion

Oxidation state for C: +4

KMnO₄ → Potassium permanganate → Global charge: 0

Oxidation state for Mn: +7

Cr₂O₇⁻ → Anion dichromate → Global charge: -2

Oxidation state for Cr: +6

When a solute is added to a solution why does it remain homogeneous?
Olenka [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

                 When a solute is added to a solution, it remains homogeneous because the solute is soluble in given solvent.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                         Homogeneous mixtures, also called true solutions are those mixtures in which the components proportions are same throughout in any given sample. For example, the mixture of table salt (NaCl) and water. When the solution is unsaturated and further NaCl is added to it, it will dissolve the NaCl because the saturation point is still not reached. Remember, as "<em>Like Dissolves Like</em>" NaCl being polar in nature will interact with water molecules and will dissociate into Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions surrounded by δ- O and δ+ H atoms of water molecules.

<h3>Conclusion:</h3>

                  In order to form a Homogeneous mixture the solution must be unsaturated, solvent must have affinity for incoming solute particles and the size of solute should be equal to 1 Â (Angstrom).
