Chemistry

1 answer:

Answer:

1) 0 C2H4O2 + 0 O2 -> 0 CO2 + 0 H2O (balanced)

2) V2O5 + CaS -> CaO + V2S5

just additional info: V2O5 is divanadium pentaoxide

LHS (Left hand side)

V: 2

O: 5

Ca: 1

S: 1 x 5 [to balance with the right hand side of the equation]

RHS (Right hand side)

V: 2

O: 1 x 5 [to balance with the left hand side of the equation]

Ca: 1

S: 5

When you balance any elements, you have to balance the whole chemical compound.

Thus,

V2O5 + 5 CaS -> 5 CaO + V2S5

LHS CHECK:

V: 2

O: 5

Ca: 5

S: 5

RHS CHECK:

V: 2

O: 5

Ca: 5

S: 5

3) S8 + O2 -> SO2

LHS:

S: 8

O: 2

RHS:

S: 1 x 8 [to balance with LHS]

O: 2

When you balance any elements, you have to balance the whole chemical compound.

S8 + O2 -> 8 SO2

When we add 8 to the RHS, it gives us 8S, 16 O.

In order to balance that into the RHS, I need to multiply the O2 by 8, which will give 8(O2) = 16 O particles.

Therefore, S8 + 8 O2 -> 8 SO2 is the final answer for (3).

Write the charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion most likely to be formed by each:

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Part A:

Charge is $P^{3-}$

Configuration is $1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^6$

Part B:

Charge is $Mg^{2+}$

Configuration is $1s^2 2s^22p^6$

Part C:

Charge is $Se^{2-}$

Configuration is $1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

Explanation:

Monatomic ions:

These ions consist of only one atom. If they have more than one atom then they are poly atomic ions.

Examples of Mono Atomic ions: $Na^+, Cl^-, Ca^2^+$

Part A:

For P:

Phosphorous (P) has 15 electrons so it require 3 more electrons to stabilize itself.

Charge is $P^{3-}$

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

$1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^6$

Part B:

For Mg:

Magnesium (Mg) has 12 electrons so it requires 2 electrons to lose to achieve stable configuration.

Charge is $Mg^{2+}$

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

$1s^2 2s^22p^6$

Part C:

For Se:

Selenium (Se) has 34 electrons and requires two electrons to be stable.

Charge is $Se^{2-}$

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

$1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

The following reaction produces ethanoic acid (CHACOOH) from methanol (CH3OH) and carbon

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{300 g}}$

Explanation:

We will need a balanced chemical equation with masses and molar masses, so, let's gather all the information in one place.

M_r: 32 60

CH₃OH + CO ⟶ CH₃COOH

m/g: 160

(a) Moles of CH₃OH

$\text{Moles of CH$_{3}$OH} = \text{160 g CH$_{3}$OH }\times \dfrac{\text{1 mol CH$_{3}$OH }}{\text{32 g CH$_{3}$OH}}= \text{5.00 mol CH$_{3}$OH}$

(b) Moles of CH₃COOH

$\text{Moles of CH$_{3}$COOH} = \text{5.00 mol CH$_{3}$OH } \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol CH$_{3}$COOH}}{\text{1 mol CH$_{3}$OH }} = \text{5.00 mol CH$_{3}$COOH}$

(c) Mass of CH₃COOH

$\text{Mass of CH$_{3}$COOH} =\text{5.00 mol CH$_{3}$COOH} \times \dfrac{\text{60 g CH$_{3}$COOH}}{\text{1 mol CH$_{3}$COOH}} = \textbf{300 g CH$_{3}$COOH}\\\\\text{The maximum mass of ethanoic acid that can be produced is $\boxed{\textbf{300 g}}$}$

HELP Which of the following fractions can be used in the conversion of 32 m3 to the unit mm3?

poizon [28]

We know that each millimeter contains 10⁻³ meters. Writing this as a ratio:
1 mm : 10⁻³ m

We require a conversion from m³ to mm³, so we must take the cube of the ratio we have made:
1 mm³ = (10⁻³)³ m³

Therefore, the conversion used will be:
(1 mm / 10⁻³ m)³

When we multiply by this conversion, we will get:
32 m³ = 32 x 10⁹ mm³

Why is salt an ionic bond? Why is salt an ionic bond?

yaroslaw [1]

: If you mean table salt i.e. sodium chloride. It is held together by ionic bonds between sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) ions. The sodium ions have a positive charge and the chlorine ions have a negative charge. Since opposite charges attract, they form ionic bonds. Ionic bonds are nothing more than the attraction between positive and negative ions.
