Consider this balanced chemical equation:
2 H2 + O2 → 2 H2O
We interpret this as “two molecules of hydrogen react with one molecule of oxygen to make two molecules of water.” The chemical equation is balanced as long as the coefficients are in the ratio 2:1:2. For instance, this chemical equation is also balanced:
100 H2 + 50 O2 → 100 H2O
This equation is not conventional—because convention says that we use the lowest ratio of coefficients—but it is balanced. So is this chemical equation:
5,000 H2 + 2,500 O2 → 5,000 H2O
Again, this is not conventional, but it is still balanced. Suppose we use a much larger number:
12.044 × 1023 H2 + 6.022 × 1023 O2 → 12.044 × 1023 H2O
These coefficients are also in the ratio of 2:1:2. But these numbers are related to the number of things in a mole: the first and last numbers are two times Avogadro’s number, while the second number is Avogadro’s number. That means that the first and last numbers represent 2 mol, while the middle number is just 1 mol. Well, why not just use the number of moles in balancing the chemical equation?
2 H2 + O2 → 2 H2O
Answer:
a) H2SO4 + 2KOH -> 2H2O + K2SO4
b) 9.809 ml
Explanation:
Number of Moles = Mass/ Molar Mass
Therefore: Mass = Number of moles * Molar Mass
--------------------------------------------
Molar mass of H2SO4:
H2= 2.02
S= 32.07
O4= 64
--------------------------------------------
H2SO4 has the molar mass of 98.09
--------------------------------------------
the Moles of H2SO4 is given to be 0.100M
Therefore:
Mass= 98.09*0.1
= 9.809g
---------------------------------------------------
Assuming that 1 g= 1 ml, the volume of sulfuric acid is 9.809 ml.
Answer:
K8S4O16 or K8(SO4)4 depending on if the SO4 is supposed to represent sulfate or not
Explanation:
Find the molar mass of K2SO4 first:
2K + S + 4O ≈ 174 g/mol
Divide the goal molar mass of 696 by the molar mass of the empirical formula:
696 / 174 = 4
This means you need to multiply everything in the empirical formula by 4:
K2SO4 --> K8S4O16 or K8(SO4)4 depending on if the SO4 is for sulfate or not
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
The distance between the centers of the two oxygen atoms in an oxygen molecule is 
.
We need to convert this distance in inches.
We know that,
1 cm = 0.393 inches
We can solve it as follows :
So, the distance between the centers of the two oxygen atoms is 
.
