Answer:

6Br⁻ + XeO₃ + 6H⁺ → 3Br₂ + Xe + 3H₂O  

Explanation:

First, we need to write the half-reactions:

2Br⁻ → Br₂ + 2e⁻ Oxidation -Balanced yet-

XeO₃ →  Xe Reduction

To balance the reduction in acidic aqueous solution we need to add waters in the other side of the reaction as oxygens are present:

XeO₃ →  Xe + 3H₂O

And H⁺ as hydrogens from water we have:

XeO₃ + 6H⁺ →  Xe + 3H₂O

To balance the charge:

<h3>XeO₃ + 6H⁺ + 6e⁻ →  Xe + 3H₂O  Reduction -Balanced-</h3><h3 />

To cancel out the electrons of both half-reaction we need to multiply oxidation 3 times:

6Br⁻ → 3Br₂ + 6e⁻

XeO₃ + 6H⁺ + 6e⁻ →  Xe + 3H₂O  

And the balanced reaction in acidic aqueous solution is the sum of both half-reactions:

<h3>6Br⁻ + XeO₃ + 6H⁺ → 3Br₂ + Xe + 3H₂O  </h3>

Methanol (CH3OH) has a boiling point of -97°C. Methane (CH4) has a boiling point of -162°C. Which type of bonding explains why m
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer is: hydrogen bonding.

Methanol has stronger intermolecular bonds than methane.

Intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules or particles.

There are several types of intermolecular forces: hydrogen bonding, ion-induced dipole forces, ion-dipole forces andvan der Waals forces.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom (H), covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as flourine (F), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) atoms.

One beaker contains 100 mL of pure water and second beaker contains 100 mL of seawater. The two beakers are left side by side on
gayaneshka [121]

Explanation:

When we add a non-volatile solute in a solvent then due to the impurity added to the solution there will occur an increase in the boiling point of the solution.  

This increase in boiling point will be known as elevation in boiling point.

As one beaker contains seawater (water having NaCl) will have some impurity in it. So, more temperature is required by seawater to escape into the atmosphere.

Whereas another beaker has only pure water so it is able to easily escape into the atmosphere since, it contains no impurity.

Thus, we can conclude that level of pure water will decrease more due to non-volatile solute present in it as compared to seawater.

How many grams are in 0.35 moles of C2H4? please show dimensional analysis
fredd [130]

Answer:

9.8g

Explanation:

Using periodic table find molar mass of C and H:

C=12.01g/mol

H=1.008g/mol

Molar mass of C2H4=(12.01)2+(1.008)4=28.03g/mol

Using molar mass times moles of the chemical to find the mass in 0.35 moles of c2h4:

28.03 x 0.35=9.8grams

A hypothetical element x has 3 naturally occurring isotopes: 41.20% of 21x, with an atomic weight of 21.016 amu, 50.12% of 22x,
iogann1982 [59]
The average atomic weight is calculated by adding up the products of the percentage abundance and atomic weight. In this item, we have the equation,

     A = (0.412)(21.016 amu) + (0.5012)(21.942 amu) + (0.0868)(23.974 amu)

Simplifying the operation will give us the answer of 21.74 amu.

<em>Answer: 21.74 amu</em>
