Chemistry
1 answer:
Ludmilka [50]2 years ago
7 0

The coefficients :  3, 2, 1,3

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

Mg + H3PO4 -> Mg3(PO4)2 + H2

Required

The coefficients

Solution

Steps to balance reactions:

1. Give a coefficient(The most complex compound is assigned a coefficient of 1)

aMg + bH₃PO₄ ⇒ Mg₃(PO₄)₂ + cH₂

2. Make an equation

Mg, left = a, right = 3 ⇒a=3

P, left = b, right = 2⇒b=2

H, left = 3b, right = 2c⇒3b=2c⇒3.2=2c⇒2c=6⇒c=3

The equation becomes :

<em>3Mg + 2H₃PO₄ ⇒ Mg₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂</em>

Answer:

The answer would be 1.5 kJ.

Explanation:

When you use the equation q = m x c x ∆T you will be able to find the energy gained or lost. The data for the water in this case is just there to distract you so ignore it. :D

Scientists in a lab are working on a series of experiments that involve colliding two or more atomic nuclei at very high speeds
Ket [755]

Answer: Scientists are working on nuclear fusion process. Nuclear fusion is the process in which two atomic nuclei combine to form another nuclei. In the process either energy is absorbed or released due to the difference in the mass of reactants and products.

Balance this equation. If a coefficient of "1" is required, choose "blank" for that box. ____CO +____ O2 → ____CO2
Black_prince [1.1K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

2, Blank, 2 ;

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The balanced chemical equation would be;

2 CO + O2 → 2 CO2

Balancing a chemical equation ensures that the number of atoms of each element are equal on both the reactants side and the products side. This ensures that the law of conservation of mass is obeyed in chemical reactions.

- How many moles of H2O are required to react to form 2.5 grams of CH ?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

0.312 moles of H2O

Explanation:

no. of moles of ch4= mass ÷ molar mass

                               =2.5 ÷ 16.04

                               =0.156 moles of ch4

According to balanced chemical equation

CH4        :        H2O

1 mole     :        2 moles

0.156 moles :       x moles  

by cross multiplication

x=  (0.156x2) ÷ 1

 = 0.312 moles of H2O

Each astronaut produces 8.8 × 102 g CO2 per day that must be removed from the air on the shuttle. If a typical shuttle mission i
suter [353]

The reaction of removing CO2 using LiOH is the following:

2 LiOH + CO2 -----> Li2CO3 + H2O

By solving the amount of CO2 the LiOH can scrub:

(3.50 × 10^4 g LiOH) (1 mol LiOH/ 24 g LiOH) ( 1 mol CO2 / 2 mol LiOH) ( 44 g CO2 /1 mol CO2) = 32, 083.33 g CO2 it can scrub

<span>Since number of astronaut = 32, 083.33 g / 9 (8.8 × 10^2) = 4 astronaut</span>
