Which of the following rules should you follow to balance chemical equations?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Firdavs [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

c. add coefficients as needed

Explanation:

A chemical equation is defined as the equation that shows changes in a chemical reaction. A chemical equation consist of reactant and product, reactant is at left side of the arrow and product is at right side of the arrow.

Reactant => Product

While balancing a chemical equation, the basic rule is to balance the coefficient as required. Coefficient represents the number of molecules and is used at front of a chemical symbol. Change in coefficient helps balance the number of atoms or molecules of the substances on both the sides of the arrow.

Subscripts are never allowed to change because it can change the chemical involved in the reaction.

Hence, the correct answer is "c. add coefficients as needed".

How many grams of KCl are needed to prepare 0.750 L of a 1.50 M solution in water?
dlinn [17]

Answer: Option A) 83.9g

Explanation:

KCl is the chemical formula of potassium chloride.

Given that,

Amount of moles of KCl (n) = ?

Volume of KCl solution (v) = 0.75L

Concentration of KCl solution (c) = 1.5M

Since concentration (c) is obtained by dividing the amount of solute dissolved by the volume of solvent, hence

c = n / v

make n the subject formula

n = c x v

n = 1.5M x 0.75L

n = 1.125 mole

Now given that,

Amount of moles of KCl (n) = 1.125

Mass of KCl in grams = ?

For molar mass of KCl, use the molar masses of:

Potassium, K = 39g;

Chlorine,Cl = 35.5g

KCl = (39g + 35.5g)

= 74.5g/mol

Since, amount of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

1.125 mole = m / 74.5g/mol

m = 1.125 mole x 74.5g/mol

m = 83.81g

Thus, 83.9 grams of KCl are needed to prepare 0.750 L of a 1.50 M solution in water

How many atoms of lead are contained in 0.532mol?​
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

3.2043 x 10²³

Explanation:

No. of Mole of lead (Pb) = 0.532 mol

No. of atoms of lead = ?

Solution:

Formula Used to calculate

no. of moles = numbers of particles (ions, molecules, atoms) /Avogadro's number

Avogadro's no. = 6.023 x10²³

So,

The formula could be written as

no. of atoms of lead Pb = no. of moles x 6.023 x10²³

Put the values in above formula

no. of atoms of lead Pb = 0.532 mol x 6.023 x10²³

no. of atoms of lead Pb = 3.2043 x 10²³

so 3.2043 x 10²³ atoms of lead are contained in 0.532 mole.

What happened to the mixture as it is poured into the strainer with cloth?​
zzz [600]

Answer:

The solid particles will be trapped behind on the strainer while the liquid molecules will pass or filter through.

Explanation:

Filtration is a process of separation of mixtures involving an insoluble solid and a fluid such as liquids or gases using a filtering medium such as paper or cloth or any other material. During the process, the liquid molecules pass through the filtering medium whereas the solid particles are not allowed to pass through but are retained by the medium. The reason is that the pores on the filtering medium are only small enough for the liquid molecules to pass through but not the solid particles.

An example of a mixture that can be separated through filtration is a suspension of chalk and water. Also, a mixture of water and solid particles such as water and tea leaves can also be separated using a strainer with cloth.

In the question, if a mixture of insoluble solids in a liquid is passed through a strainer with cloth, the solid particles will be trapped behind on the strainer while the liquid molecules will pass through.

Why is an atom regarded as electrically unstable​
meriva

Answer: An atom can be considered unstable in one of two ways. If it picks up or loses an electron, it becomes electrically charged and highly reactive. Such electrically charged atoms are known as ions. Instability can also occur in the nucleus when the number of protons and neutrons is unbalanced.

How would life be different without polythene
Alexxx [7]
Without plastic, we wouldn't have as much of an environmental problem as we have now. Even though plastic has a lot of negatives, it's also made our lives a lot easier over past years. ... Our cars would have been different since a lot of the materials used inside are made out of plastic.
