The coefficient for NaNO₃ = 6

<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

AI(NO₃)₃ +Na₂SO₄ → Al₂(SO₄) + NaNO₃

give coefficient

aAI(NO₃)₃ +bNa₂SO₄ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ +c NaNO₃

Al, left=a, right=2⇒a=2

N, left=3a, right=c⇒3a=c⇒3.2=c⇒c=6

Na, left=2b, right=c⇒2b=c⇒2b=6⇒b=3

The equation becomes :

2AI(NO₃)₃ +3Na₂SO₄ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ +6NaNO₃

Write the expression for the equilibrium constant Kp for the following reaction. (Enclose pressures in parentheses and do NOT wr

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer and Explanation:

For the following balanced reaction:

PCl₅(g) ↔ PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)

We can see that all reactants and products are gases, so it is an homogeneous equilibrium. The expression for the equilibrium constant Kp can be written from the partial pressures (P) of reactants and products as follows:

$Kp=\frac{(P PCl_{3})(P Cl_{2})}{(P PCl_{5})}$

Where PPCl₃ is the partial pressure of PCl₃ (reactant), PCl₂ is the partial pressure of Cl₂ (reactant) and PPCl₅ is the partial pressure of PCl₅ (product).

What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron?

vazorg [7]

Answer:

What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron is energy.

Explanation:

The normal state of the atoms, where all the electrons are occupying the lowest possible energy level, is called ground state.

The valence electrons are the electrons that occupy the outermost shell, this is the electrons in the highest main energy level (principal quantum number) of the atom.

So, a nonvalence electron occupies an orbital with less energy than what a valence electron does; in consequence, in order to a nonvalence electron jump from its lower energy level to the higher energy level of a valence electron, the former has to absorb (gain) energy.

This new state is called excited state and is temporary: the electron promoted to the higher energy level will emit the excess energy, in the form of light (photons), to come back to the lower energy level and so the atom return to the ground state.
