Answer:

CeO₂

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we are given the mass of both cerium and the cerium oxide, we can first compute the moles of cerium and the moles of oxygen as shown below:

n_{Ce}=4.2gCe*\frac{1molCe}{140.12gCe}=0.03molCe\\

m_O=5.16g-4.2g=0.96gO\\\\n_O=0.96g*\frac{1molO}{16.0gO} =0.06molO

Now, we simply divide each moles by 0.03 as the fewest moles in the formula to obtain the simplest formula (empirical formula) of this oxide:

Ce=\frac{0.03}{0.03}=1\\\\O =\frac{0.06}{0.03}=2

Thus, the formula turns out:

CeO_2

Regards!

Students conduct an experiment:
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

The balloon becomes inflated

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction between baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and vinegar(ethanoic acid) is shown below;

NaHCO3 + HC2CH3O2 ------> NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2

The gas (CO2) evolved in the process leads to the inflation of the balloon dropped on the bottle in which the reaction is taking pace.

This observation provides evidence that a gas was really evolved in the reaction.

For the closed system below: Cu(s) + 2Ag+(aq) 2Ag(s) + Cu2+(aq) How would you know if the system is at equilibrium?
zaharov [31]
For the chemical reactiom to be at equilibrium:
1- The rate of forward reaction must be equal to the rate of the reverse reaction.
2- The mass of EACH element must be equal before and after the reaction (no NET change in mass), otherwise the equilibrium will shift.

Important note: you need to check the mass of each element before and after the reaction (i.e, reactants side and products side) and the not the mass of the system as a whole. This is because the mass of the whole system will be preserved whether the system is at equilibrium or not (this is the fundamental law of mass conservation)
