Answer:
185.05 g.
Explanation
Firstly, It is considered as a stichiometry problem.
From the balanced equation: 2LiCl → 2Li + Cl₂
It is clear that the stichiometry shows that 2.0 moles of LiCl is decomposed to give 2.0 moles of Li metal and 1.0 moles of Cl₂, which means that the molar ratio of LiCl : Li is (1.0 : 1.0) ratio.
We must convert the grams of Li metal (30.3 g) to moles (n = mass/atomic mass), atomic mass of Li = 6.941 g/mole.
n = (30.3 g) / (6.941 g/mole) = 4.365 moles.
Now, we can get the number of moles of LiCl that is needed to produce 4.365 moles of Li metal.
Using cross multiplication:
2.0 moles of LiCl → 2.0 moles of Li, from the stichiometry of the balanced equation.
??? moles of LiCl → 4.365 moles of Li.
The number of moles of LiCl that will produce 4.365 moles of Li (30.3 g) is (2.0 x 4.365 / 2.0) = 4.365 moles.
Finally, we should convert the number of moles of LiCl into grams (n = mass/molar mass).
Molar mass of LiCl = 42.394 g/mole.
mass = n x molar mass = (4.365 x 42.394) = 185.05 g.
Answer:
When you open the bottle, there is a dramatic decrease in pressure over the liquid, so the CO2 starts to leave the liquid very rapidly, causing the mass exodus of gas, or "explosion" of bubbles. This also explains why soda goes flat.

Answer:
I think that it it correctly balanced that is my opinion and, because the way it is set up, that the answer will tell you weather or not it is correctly balanced or not.
Answer:
2MnO₄⁻ + 5Zn + 16H⁺ → 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O + 5Zn²⁺
Explanation:
To balance a redox reaction in an acidic medium, we simply follow some rules:
- Split the reaction into an oxidation and reduction half.
- By inspecting, balance the half equations with respect to the charges and atoms.
- In acidic medium, one atom of H₂O is used to balance up each oxygen atom and one H⁺ balances up each hydrogen atom on the deficient side of the equation.
- Use electrons to balance the charges. Add the appropriate numbers of electrons the side with more charge and obtain a uniform charge on both sides.
- Multiply both equations with appropriate factors to balance the electrons in the two half equations.
- Add up the balanced half equations and cancel out any specie that occur on both sides.
- Check to see if the charge and atoms are balanced.
Solution
Zn + MnO₄⁻ → Zn²⁺ + Mn²⁺
The half equations:
Zn → Zn²⁺ Oxidation half
MnO₄⁻ → Mn²⁺ Reduction half
Balancing of atoms(in acidic medium)
Zn → Zn²⁺
MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ → Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O
Balancing of charge
Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻
MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e⁻→ Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O
Balancing of electrons
Multiply the oxidation half by 5 and reduction half by 2:
5Zn → 5Zn²⁺ + 10e⁻
2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻→ 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O
Adding up the two equations gives:
5Zn + 2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻ → 5Zn²⁺ + 10e⁻ + 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O
The net equation gives:
5Zn + 2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ → 5Zn²⁺ + 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O
It is important to determine the qcalorimeter before determining the qmetal because the qcalorimeter is a constant and it's value is used to find the value of qmetal.
