Answer:  The balanced equation for the given reaction is

2SO_{2}(g) + O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2SO_{3}(g).

Explanation:

A chemical equation which contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side.

For example, SO_{2}(g) + O_{2}(g) \rightarrow SO_{3}(g)

Here, number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.

  • S = 1
  • O = 4

Number of atoms on product side are as follows.

  • S = 1
  • O = 3

To balance this equation, multiply SO_{2} by 2 on reactant side and multiply SO_{3} by 2. Hence, the equation will be re-written as follows.

2SO_{2}(g) + O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2SO_{3}(g)

Here, number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.

  • S = 2
  • O = 6

Number of atoms on product side are as follows.

  • S = 2
  • O = 6

Now, there are same number of atoms on both reactant and product side. So, this equation is balanced.

Thus, we can conclude that the balanced equation for the given reaction is 2SO_{2}(g) + O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2SO_{3}(g).

Enter the net ionic equation representing solid chromium (iii) hydroxide reacting with nitrous acid. express your answer as a ba
Colt1911 [192]

The net ionic equation of chromium (iii) hydroxide reacting with nitrous acid:

Cr(OH)₃ (s) + 3H⁺ (aq) ⇒ Cr³⁺ (aq) + 3H₂O (l)

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The electrolyte in the solution produces ions.

The equation of a chemical reaction can be expressed in the equation of the ions

For strong electrolytes (the ionization rate = 1) is written in the form of separate ions, while the weak electrolyte (degree of ionization <1) is still written as an un-ionized molecule

In the ion equation, there is a spectator ion that is the ion which does not change (does not react) because it is present before and after the reaction

When these ions are removed, the ionic equation is called the net ionic equation

For gases and solids including water (H₂O) can be written as an ionized molecule

So only the dissolved compound is ionized ((expressed in symbol aq)

From the problem, it is stated that chromium (iii) hydroxide reacting with nitrous acid.

Reactions that occur:

Cr(OH)₃ (s) + 3HNO₂ (aq) ⇒ Cr(NO₂)₃ (aq) + 3H₂O (l)

Cr (OH)₃ solid form that does not decompose in the form of ions, as well as water (H₂O)

So the ionic equation becomes:

Cr(OH)₃ (s) + 3H⁺ (aq) + 3NO₂⁻ (aq) ⇒ Cr³⁺ (aq) + 3NO₂⁻ (aq) + 3H₂O (l)

There is an ion spectator that is 3NO₂⁻, so that if it is removed a net ionic equation will be formed:

Cr(OH)₃ (s) + 3H⁺ (aq) ⇒ Cr³⁺ (aq) + 3H₂O (l)

I NEED HELP PLEASE! :)<br><br> Describe a limiting reactant in your own words.
koban [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

A limiting reactant is the reactant in a reaction that is done reacting first, because there are less moles of it than are needed for a full reaction with the other compound or compounds.

Hope this helps!

True or false: Sometimes older rocks end up on top of younger rocks.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

true

downstream to the riverbed. However, the most common mechanism to produce older rocks on top of younger is by thrust faulting. Thrust faults form where rocks are being compressed, usually by plate tectonic mechanisms. Thrust faults rip up older strata and pile it on top of younger rocks.
