Answer:

Only the oxygen needs to be balanced. There are equal numbers of hydrogen and carbon

Explanation:

Given expression:

C₂H₄ + O₂ → 2H₂O + 2CO₂

The law of conservation of mass suggests that chemical equations be balanced since atoms are neither created nor destroyed in the course of a chemical reaction. In retrospect, bonds are broken and chemical species are change to another form.

From the given equation, only oxygen is not balanced. This flouts the law of conservation.

On the reactant side, we have 2 oxygen on the product, we have 6.

What mass of potassium hypochlorite (FW-90.6 g/mol) must be added to 4.50 x 10 mL of water to give a solution with pH 10.20? [Ka

marta [7]

Answer : The mass of potassium hypochlorite is, 4.1 grams.

Explanation : Given,

pH = 10.20

Volume of water = $4.50\times 10^2ml=0.45L$

The decomposition of KClO will be :

$KClO\rightarrow K^++ClO^-$

Now the further reaction with water $(H_2O)$ to give,

$ClO^-+H_2O\rightarrow HClO+OH^-$

First we have to calculate the pOH.

$pH+pOH=14\\\\pOH=14-pH\\\\pOH=14-10.20=3.8$

Now we have to calculate the $OH^-$ concentration.

$pOH=-\log [OH^-]$

$3.8=-\log [OH^-]$

$[OH^-]=1.58\times 10^{-4}M$

Now we have to calculate the base dissociation constant.

Formula used : $K_b=\frac{K_w}{K_a}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get :

$K_b=\frac{1.0\times 10^{-14}}{4.0\times 10^{-8}}=2.5\times 10^{-7}$

Now we have to calculate the concentration of $ClO^-$ .

The equilibrium constant expression of the reaction is:

$K_b=\frac{[OH^-][HClO]}{[ClO^-]}$

As we know that, $[OH^-]=[HClO]=1.58\times 10^{-4}M$

$2.5\times 10^{-7}=\frac{(1.58\times 10^{-4})^2}{[ClO^-]}$

$[ClO^-]=0.0999M$

Now we have to calculate the moles of $ClO^-$ .

$\text{Moles of }ClO^-=\text{Molarity of }ClO^-\times \text{Volume of solution}$

$\text{Moles of }ClO^-=0.0999mole/L\times 0.45L=0.0449mole$

As we know that, the number of moles of $ClO^-$ are equal to the number of moles of KClO.

So, the number of moles of KClO = 0.0449 mole

Now we have to calculate the mass of KClO.

$\text{Mass of }KClO=\text{Moles of }KClO\times \text{Molar mass of }KClO$

$\text{Mass of }KClO=0.0449mole\times 90.6g/mole=4.07g\approx 4.1g$

Therefore, the mass of potassium hypochlorite is, 4.1 grams.

How would you describe the change in the arrangement of particles as heat energy and temperature increase?

snow_tiger [21]

Since there is more energy added as heat rises, the particles disperse and have larger movements.

What constitutes a positive test for ammonia?

klemol [59]

Ammonia has a characteristic sharp, choking smell. It also makes damp red litmus paper turn blue. Ammonia forms a white smoke of ammonium chloride when hydrogen chloride gas, from concentrated hydrochloric acid, is held near it.
