Answer:

A. It shows the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.

Explanation:

A balanced chemical equation demonstrates the conservation of matter by showing the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation or expression.

According to the law of conservation of matter, matter is neither created nor destroyed in the course of a chemical reaction but atoms are rearranged.

Based on this premise, the number of atoms or moles on both sides of the expression must be equal.
If there are 3 atoms of carbon on one side, the product must also reflect 3 atoms of carbon.

A 2.20 mol sample of NO 2 ( g ) is added to a 3.50 L vessel and heated to 500 K. N 2 O 4 ( g ) − ⇀ ↽ − 2 NO 2 ( g ) K c = 0.513

Answer:

[NO₂] = 0.434 M

[N₂O₄] = 0.0971 M

Explanation:

The equilibrum is: N₂O₄(g) ⇆ 2NO₂ (g)

1 moles of nitrogen (IV) oxide is in equilibrium with 2 moles of nitrogen dioxide.

Initally we only have 2.20 moles of NO₂. So let's write the equilibrium again:

2NO₂ (g) ⇆ N₂O₄(g)

Initially 2.20 mol -

React x x/2

X amount has reacted, and the half has been formed, according to stoichiometry.

Eq (2.20-x) / 3.50L (x/2)/ 3.50L

We divide by the volume because we need molar concentrations. Let's make the Kc's expression:

Kc = [N₂O₄] / [NO₂]²

0.513 = ((x/2)/ 3.50L) / [(2.20-x) / 3.50L]

0.513 = ((x/2)/ 3.50L) / [(2.20-x)² / 3.50L²]

0.513 = ((x/2)/ 3.50L) / [2.20-x)² / 3.50L²]

0.513 = ((x/2)/ 3.50L) / (4.84 - 4.40x + x²) / 12.25)

0.513 / 12.25 (4.84 - 4.40x + x²) = x/2 / 3.50

0.203 - 0.184x + 0.0419x² = x/2 / 3.50

3.50(0.203 - 0.184x + 0.0419x²) = x/2

7 (0.203 - 0.184x + 0.0419x²) - x = 0

1.421 - 2.288x + 0.2933x² = 0 → Quadratic formula

a = 0.2933 ; b = -2.288 ; c = 1.421

(-b +- √(b²-4ac)) / (2a)

x₁ = 7.12

x₂ = 0.68 → We consider this value, so we can have a (+) concentration.

Concentrations in the equilibrium are:

[NO₂] = (2.20-0.68) / 3.50 = 0.434 M

[N₂O₄] = (0.68/2) / 3.50 = 0.0971 M

Be sure to answer all parts. Calculate the molality, molarity, and mole fraction of FeCl3 in a 24.0 mass % aqueous solution (d =

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

m= 1.84 m

M= 1.79 M

mole fraction (X) =

Xsolute= 0.032

Xsolvent = 0.967

Explanation:

1. Find the grams of FeCl3 in the solution: when we have a mass % we assume that there is 100 g of solution so 24% means 24 g of FeCl3 in the solution. The rest 76 g are water.

2. For molality we have the formula m= moles of solute / Kg solvent

so first we pass the grams of FeCl3 to moles of FeCl3:

24 g of FeCl3x(1 mol FeCl3/162.2 g FeCl3) = 0.14 moles FeCl3

If we had 76 g of water we convert it to Kg:

76 g water x(1 Kg of water/1000 g of water) = 0.076 Kg of water

now we divide m = 0.14 moles FeCl3/0.076 Kg of water

m= 1.84 m

3. For molarity we have the formula M= moles of solute /L of solution

the moles we already have 0.14 moles FeCl3

the (L) of solution we need to use the density of the solution to find the volume value. For this purpose we have: 100 g of solution and the density d= 1.280 g/mL

The density formula is d = (m) mass/(V) volume if we clear the unknown value that is the volume we have that (V) volume = m/d

so V = 100 g / 1.280 g/mL = 78.12 mL = 0.078 L

We replace the values in the M formula

M= 0.14 moles of FeCl3/0.078 L

M= 1.79 M

3. Finally the mole fraction (x) has the formula

X(solute) = moles of solute /moles of solution

X(solvent) moles of solvent /moles of solution

X(solute) + X(solvent) = 1

we need to find the moles of the solvent and we add the moles of the solute like this we have the moles of the solution:

76 g of water x(1 mol of water /18 g of water) = 4.2 moles of water

moles of solution = 0.14 moles of FeCl3 + 4.2 moles of water = 4.34 moles of solution

X(solute) = 0.14 moles of FeCl3/4.34 moles of solution = 0.032

1 - X(solute) = 1 - 0.032 = 0.967

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

1.8 moles of O₂

Explanation:

The balance chemical equation for said double replacement (photosynthesis) reaction is as follow;

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

According to balance chemical equation,

6 moles of O₂ are produced by = 6 moles of CO₂

So,

1.8 moles of O₂ will be produced by = X moles of O₂

Solving for X,

X = 1.8 mol × 6 mol / 6 mol

X = 1.8 moles of O₂

Stoichiometric problems in which moles are given and moles or other reactant or product asked are the simplest problems. One should only write the balanced chemical equation and perform above method to find the required moles.
