Chemistry

Answer:

Sn(C2H3O2)2

Explanation:

C2H3O2 is Acetate

Sn is tin

Acetate has a -1 charge

In order for tin to have a +2 charge, we need two acetates

So we write it as (C2H3O2)2

You just leave Sn blank because of the roman numeral and since it is a transition metal.

So the answer is Sn(C2H3O2)2

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf Sn (C_2 H_3 O_2)_2}}

Explanation:

First, find what tin and acetate is.

  • Acetate: C₂H₃O₂
  • Tin: Sn

Next, find the charge on acetate, which is -1.

The Roman Numeral 2 in parentheses after tin (II), signifies that the tin has a charge of +2.

We need to balance the charges, so they will equal 0.

  • 1 acetate= -1
  • Tin = +2

The best way to balance is by using 2 acetate molecules

  • 2 acetate = -2
  • Tin = +2
  • -2 +2=0

If we want 2 acetate molecules, we must add a subscript of 2 after acetate.

  • Acetate: C₂H₃O₂
  • 2 Acetate: (C₂H₃O₂)₂

Add the tin (Sn) in front

  • Tin (II) Acetate: Sn (C₂H₃O₂)₂

The formula for tin (II) acetate is Sn (C₂H₃O₂)₂

The molecule ch3-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch3 is best described as a(n) ________.
Gwar [14]

Given molecule:

CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3

- The molecule contain only C and H atoms, hence it is a hydrocarbon

- The C atoms in the linear chain are linked together by carbon-carbon single bonds, hence it is a saturated compound

- It has 7 C atoms and 16 H atoms, hence the molecular formula is C7H16

-The molecular formula can be generally represented as CnH2n+2 where n = 7. This corresponds to the general molecular formula for alkanes

The given molecule is best described as an <u>alkane</u>

Write balanced molecular equation for the reaction between nitric acid and calcium hydroxide. Express your answer as a chemical
eimsori [14]

<u>Answer:</u> The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of nitric acid and calcium hydroxide is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A balanced chemical equation is defined as the equation in which total number of individual atoms on the reactant side is equal to the total number of individual atoms on product side.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of nitric acid and calcium hydroxide follows:

2HNO_3(aq.)+Ca(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow Ca(NO_3)_2(aq.)+2H_2O(l)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of nitric acid reacts with 1 mole of calcium hydroxide to produce 1 mole of calcium nitrate and 2 moles of water molecule.

Hence, the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of nitric acid and calcium hydroxide is written below.
