Write the balanced chemical equation for the following reaction. Phases are optional. Solid calcium chlorate decomposes to form

Tanya [424]

Answer:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Explanation:

1) Word equation (given)

calcium chlorate (solid) → solid calcium chloride (solid) + oxygen (gas)

2) Chemical formulae of the reactant and products:

Calcium chlorate:

The most common oxidation states of chlorine are -1, +1, +3, +5, +7.

The suffix ate in chlorate means that chlorine atom is with the third lowest oxidation state (counting only the positive states). So, this is +5.

The oxidation state of calcium is +2.

Hence, the chemical formula of calcium chlorate is Ca(ClO₃)₂

Calcium chloride

The suffix ide in chloride means that chlorine is with oxidation state -1. Again the oxidation state of calcium is +2.

Hence, the chemical formula of calcium chloride is CaCl₂

Oxygen

Oxygen gas is a diatomic molecule, so its chemical formula is O₂.

Phases

The symbols s and g (in parenthesis) indicate the solid and gas phases respectively.

3) Chemical equation:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + O₂ (g)

That equation is not balanced becasue the number of O atoms in the reactant side and in the product side are different.

4) Balanced chemical equation:

Add a 3 as coefficient in front of O₂(g), in the product side to balance:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Verify that all the atoms are balanced:

Atom Reactant side Product side

Ca 1 1

Cl 2 2

O 3×2 = 6 2×3 = 6

Conclusion: the equation is balanced and the final answer is:

Ca(ClO₃)₂ (s) → CaCl₂ (s) + 3O₂ (g)

Manganese is a transition metal. Consider the isotope: Mn-53. How many protons are in an atom of Mn-53 if the atom has a charge

Leokris [45]

Answer:

25

Explanation:

Isotopes of an element are the same element with different mass numbers but the same atomic number or the number of protons.

we know that in a balanced atom

Number of electrons = Number of protons = Atomic number

Atomic number (z) of manganese = 25

For Mn+5, the number of protons remains the same = 25

However, the number of electrons on Mn+5 = 21

Typically, water runs through the baseboard copper tubing and, therefore, fresh hot water is constantly running through the pipi

Ugo [173]

Answer:

-3.617 °C

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of water (m): 210.0 g

Energy released in the form of heat (Q): -3178 J (the minus sign corresponds to energy being released)

Specific heat of water (c): 4.184 J/g.°C

Temperature change (ΔT): ?

Step 2: Calculate the temperature change

We will use the following expression.

Q = c × m × ΔT

-3178 J = 4.184 J/g.°C × 210.0 g × ΔT

ΔT = -3.617 °C

If you have 100 ml of a 0.10 m tris buffer (pka 8.3) at ph 8.3 and you add 3.0 ml of 1.0 m hcl, what will be the new ph?

sukhopar [10]

The new pH is 7.69.

According to Hendersen Hasselbach equation;

The Henderson Hasselbalch equation is an approximate equation that shows the relationship between the pH or pOH of a solution and the pKa or pKb and the ratio of the concentrations of the dissociated chemical species. To calculate the pH of the buffer solution made by mixing salt and weak acid/base. It is used to calculate the pKa value. Prepare buffer solution of needed pH.

pH = pKa + log10 ([A–]/[HA])

Here, 100 mL of 0.10 m TRIS buffer pH 8.3

pka = 8.3

0.005 mol of TRIS.

∴ $8.3 = 8.3 + log \frac{[0.005]}{[0.005]}$

inverse log 0 = $\frac{[B]}{[A]}$

$\frac{[B]}{[A]} = 1$

Given; 3.0 ml of 1.0 m hcl.

pka = 8.3

0.003 mol of HCL.

$pH = 8.3 + log \frac{[0.005-0.003]}{[0.005+0.003]}\\pH = 8.3 + log \frac{[0.002]}{[0.008]}\\\\pH = 8.3 + log {0.25}\\\\pH = 8.3 + (-0.62)\\pH = 7.69$

Therefore, the new pH is 7.69.
