Given :

A chemical compound $KF_2$ .

To Find :

Fix the formula for $KF_2$ and write the full correct formula.

Solution :

We know, Potassium( K ) and Fluorine( F ) both have a valency of 1 i.e potassium can donate one electron and Fluorine can accept one electron only.

So, the chemical formula $KF_2$ is wrong because no element has filled electron.

Therefore, to stabilise the molecule, 1 Potassium atom should make a bond from 1 Fluorine i.e KF ( correct formula ) .

Hence, this is the required solution.

Iron is extracted from its ore (hematite) in the blast furnace. Which gas is produced as a waste product?

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

CO2

Explanation:

CO2 or carbon dioxide is produced when iron is extracted from its ore. Carbon monoxide Co is used as reducing agent in iron extraction. In this reaction iron ore is reduced to iron and CO is oxidized to CO2 or carbon dioxide which is released in the process. There extraction of iron is redox reaction.

Complete and balance the chemical equations for the precipitation reactions, if any, between the following pairs of reactants, a

Crank

Explanation:

a. $Pb(NO_3)_2(aq) + Na_2SO_4(aq)$ → ?

$Pb(NO_3)_2(aq) + Na_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow PbSO_4(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)$

$Pb(NO_3)_2(aq)\rightarrow Pb^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)$

$Na_2SO_4(aq)\rightarrow 2Na^++SO_4^{2-}(aq)$

$Pb^{2+}(aq)+2NO_3^{-}(aq)+2Na^++SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow PbSO_4(s)+2Na^++2NO_3^{-}(aq)$

Removing common ions from both sides, we get the net ionic equation:

$Pb^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow PbSO_4(s)$

b. $NiCl_2(aq) + NH_4NO_3(aq)$ →

$NiCl_2(aq) + NH4NO_3(aq) \rightarrow Ni(NO_3)_2+NH_4Cl(aq)$

No precipitation is occuring.

c. $Fe_Cl2(aq) + Na_2S(aq)$ →

$FeCl_2(aq) + Na_2S(aq)\rightarrow FeS(s)+2NaCl(aq)$

$FeCl_2(aq)\rightarrow Fe^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^{-}(aq)$

$Na_2S(aq)\rightarrow 2Na^++S{2-}(aq)$

$Fe^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^{-}(aq)+2Na^++S^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow FeS(s)+2Na^++2Cl^{-}(aq)$

Removing common ions from both sides, we get the net ionic equation:

$Fe^{2+}(aq)+S^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow FeS(s)$

d. $MgSO_4(aq) + BaCl_2(aq)$ →

$MgSO4(aq) + BaCl2(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+MgCl_2$

$MgSO_4(aq)\rightarrow Mg^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)$

$BaCl_2(aq)\rightarrow Ba^{2+}+2Cl^{-}(aq)$

$Mg^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)+Ba^{2+}+2Cl^{-}(aq)(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)+Mg^{2+}(aq)+2Cl^{-}(aq)$

Removing common ions from both sides, we get the net ionic equation:

$Ba^{2+}(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow BaSO_4(s)$
