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.

Describe the term molarity as it relates to an acid or base.
Sidana [21]
Molarity is expressed as the number of moles of solute per volume of the solution. For example, we are given a solution of 2M NaOH this describes a solution that has 2 moles of NaOH per 1 L volume of the solution. Acids and bases can be measured through the concentrations of H+ and OH- ions in units of molarity. Hope this helps.

A reaction involves 0.50grams of hydrogen (H2) gas and 1.20 grams of carbon (C) to form methane (CH4). Calculate the mass of met
Natasha2012 [34]
The balanced chemical equation for the formation of methane from carbon and hydrogen is,
                              C + 2H2 --> CH4
This suggests that every 12 grams of C needs 4 grams of H in order to produce 16 grams of methane. 
       0.05 grams of hydrogen (H2) x (16 grams methane / 4 grams H) = 0.2 grams of methane. 
  
      1.20 grams carbon x (16 grams carbon / 12 grams of C) = 1.6 grams methane

We take the lower amount of carbon. Thus, the reaction will produce approximately 0.2 grams methane.

What is the mass of oxygen gas in a 16.6 l container at 34.0°c and 6.22 atm?
Anna11 [10]

This is a PV=nRT problem. So to do this, you are looking for grams. The easiest way to get to grams is to convert moles, so set up the equation looking for n

n=PV/RT

To keep everything consistent with the universal gas constant (0.082057 L atm/mol K), one thing needs to be converted.

To convert 34.0 C to kelvin, just add 273.15. That gets 307.2 with sig figs.

Next, plug everything into your equation

n=(6.22atm)(16.6L)/(0.082057Latm/molK)(307.2K)

Cleaning that up gets you 4.10 moles (again, after sig figs)

Now, you need to convert the 4.10 moles of O2 to grams. To do that, you multiply 4.10 by 31.998 (molar mass of o2) to get 131 g (for a third time, sig figs!)

So, your final answer is 131 g O2

Sorry if any math is wrong, but you should be able to walk yourself through this and other problems now. Hope I helped!
