So I saw this question: If 28.0 grams of Pb(NO3)2 react with 18.0 grams of NaI, what mass of PbI2 can be produced? Pb(NO3)2 + Na

I → PbI2 + NaNO3
I saw an answer that question but I need one part explained. The answer balanced the equation, but I do not know how they did that or why. They added a 2 to both sides and I do not know where it came from or why it made it balanced.

mass of PbI₂ = 27.6606 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Pb(NO₃)₂ + NaI → PbI₂ + NaNO₃

28.0 grams of Pb(NO₃)₂ react with 18.0 grams of NaI

Required

mass of PbI₂

Solution

Balanced equation

Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2NaI → PbI₂ + 2NaNO₃

The principle of a balanced reaction is the number of atoms in the reactants = the number of atoms in the product

mol Pb(NO₃)₂ :

= 28 : 331,2 g/mol

= 0.0845

mol NaI :

= 18 : 149,89 g/mol

= 0.12

Limiting reactant : mol : coefficient

Pb(NO₃)₂ : 0.0845 : 1 = 0.0845

NaI : 0.12 : 2 = 0.06

NaI limiting reactant (smaller ratio)

mol PbI₂ based on NaI

= 1/2 x 0.12 = 0.06

Mass PbI₂ :

= 0.06 x 461,01 g/mol

= 27.6606 g

Identify the situation where work is being done. Carrying a box of crayons across the room. Lifting a backpack off the floor Hol
Likurg_2 [28]
Lifting the backpack off the floor. Force is being applied in only one direction then (up) which is what constitutes as work. Carrying the box of crayons applies force in two directions (up and forward), which cancel each other out. Work has a vector, which is a quantity containing both direction and magnitude (one, finite direction, not two).

The indicator propyl red has a Ka of 3.3 X 10-6 . It is red at low pH and yellow at higher pH. What is the approximate pH range
Alik [6]

Answer:

4.48 - 6.48

Explanation:

A pH indicator works in a better way in a range of pH = pKa ± 1. That means we need to determine the pKa of the indicator propyl red to find the range over which it change its color. That is:

pKa = -log Ka

pKa = -log 3.3x10⁻⁶

pKa = 5.48

That means the range over propyl red will change from yellow to red or vice versa is:

4.48 - 6.48
