Answer:
Explanation:
Ionic compounds are electrically neutral because the charges of the cations and anions that make up the compound cancel each other out. In the case of salt for example, sodium has a charge of positive one, and chloride has a charge of negative one. Together, they neutralize the compound.
Answer:
2.04 mol
Explanation:
At STP, 1 mole = 22.4 L
45.6 L of H2 * (1 mole of H2 / 22.4 L ) = 2.04 mol
NH3 has a Molar mass of 17g
3.47 * M(NH3) = 58.99g of NH3 in the cleaning agent
CaCO3 + 2KCL ⇒ CaCl2 + K2CO3
It is balanced as so based on the charges given on the periodic table and polyatomic ions.
Calcium has the charge of 2 but CO3 also shares the same charge, thus cancelling that out.
Potassium has a charge of 1 while Chlorine also shares a charge of 1, also cancelling it out.
Thus, if it performs a double replacement reaction, they would take these charges to the new elements that do not cancel out their charges.
Therefore, we need the coefficient of 2 in front of Potassium Chloride in order to balance the equation as on the products side of the equation, Potassium and Chlorine both have a subscript of 2.
Hope this helps!
