Answer:
With an understanding of the ideal gas laws, it is now possible to apply these principles to chemical stoichiometry problems. For example, zinc metal and hydrochloric acid (hydrogen chloride dissolved in water) react to form zinc (II) chloride and hydrogen gas according to the equation shown below:
2 HCl (aq) + Zn (s) → ZnCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Write the skeleton equation for the half-reaction
NO₃⁻ ⟶ N₂O
2. Balance all atoms other than H and O
2NO₃⁻ ⟶ N₂O
3. Balance O by adding H₂O molecules to the deficient side.
2NO₃⁻ ⟶ N₂O + 5H₂O
4. Balance H by adding H⁺ ions to the deficient side.
2NO₃⁻ + 10H⁺ ⟶ N₂O + 5H₂O
5. Balance charge by adding electrons to the deficient side.
2NO₃⁻ + 10H⁺ + 8e⁻ ⟶ N₂O + 5H₂O
The amount of charge required to reduce 2 mol of NO₃⁻ is 8 F
