Calcium hypochlorite, Ca(OCl)2, is a bleaching agent produced from sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, and chlorine. Socium chl

oride and water are also produced in the reaction. What is the missing coefficient that will balance the chemical equation? ___NaOH + Ca(OH)2 + 2Cl2 → Ca(OCl)2 + 2NaCl + 2H2O a.1 b.4 c.2 d.3

Answer:  The missing coefficient is 2.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

2NaOH+Ca(OH)_2+2Cl_2\rightarrow Ca(OCl)_2+2NaCl+2H_2O

As in the products, there are 2 atoms of sodium, thus there will be 2 atoms of  of sodium in the reactant as well.  This will balance the number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms as well.

Thus the missing coefficient is 2.

Virty [35]

Answer: 2. Bonds and bond energies of the molecule

Explanation:

The absorption spectrum is an electromagnetic spectrum which is used for observing the intensity of the radiations which have been absorbed by the substances shown by the pattern of dark lines or bands. Infrared and microwave spectroscopy are specialized techniques which are used for observing the bonds and bond energy of the molecules which can be observed by measuring the frequencies at which the radiations are absorbed.

Most acid precipitation results from the combination of _____ with water in the atmosphere, forming strong acids that fall with
aleksley [76]

Answer:

             Most acid precipitation results from the combination of <u>Sulfur Oxides and Nitrogen Oxides</u> with water in the atmosphere, forming strong acids that fall with rain or snow.

Explanation:

                    Acid rain is said to be that rain which contains high concentration of H⁺ ions. The main source of acid rain is the elimination of NOₓ (Nitrogen Oxides) and SOₓ (Sulfur Oxides) from different means in industries and other combustion processes on earth.

Examples:

                                 SO₂  +  H₂O     →     H₂SO₄

                                 NO₂  +  OH°    →     HNO₃

From above examples it can be seen that the sulfur and nitrogen oxides when reacted with water forms strong acids. These acids come along with rain water and causes different problems to living organisms and non living objects like buildings.

Why are most solid ionic compounds electrically nonconductive, whereas aqueous solutions of ionic compounds are good conductors
Allisa [31]

Answer:

there must be free-moving electrons in a compound to conduct electricity.

in solid ionic compounds, there are no free electrons so it can't conduct electricity.

But in aqueous form the forces of attraction are broken and the ions (cations and anions) are free to move. This means there are free electrons that allow the aqueous compound to conduct electricity.

If the mass of monomer 105 atomic mass units, find the mass of a polymer contianing 122 monomers
sukhopar [10]
<span>12810 atomic mass units
   Since a monomer is the basic building block of a polymer, we just need to multiply the mass of the monomers by the number of monomers used. So 105 atomic mass units * 122 = 12810 atomic mass units</span>
