Answer:

The balanced reactions are:

C₂ + 2B → B₂C₂

Ag₄ + 2SO₂ → 4AgO + S₂

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Matter postulates that "the mass is not created or destroyed, only transformed." This means that the reagents interact with each other and form new products with physical and chemical properties different from those of the reagents because the atoms of the substances are ordered differently. But the amount of matter or mass before and after a transformation (chemical reaction) is always the same, that is, the quantities of the masses involved in a given reaction must be constant at all times, not changing in their proportions when the reaction ends. In other words, then the mass before the chemical reaction is equal to the mass after the reaction.

In other words, the law of conservation of matter states that since no atom can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, the number of atoms that are present in the reagents has to be equal to the number of atoms present in the products.

Then, you must balance the chemical equation. For that, you must first look at the subscripts next to each atom to find the number of atoms in the equation. If the same atom appears in more than one molecule, you must add its amounts .

The coefficients located in front of each molecule indicate the amount of each molecule for the reaction. This coefficient can be modified to balance the equation, just as you should never alter the subscripts.

By multiplying the coefficient mentioned by the subscript, you get the amount of each element present in the reaction.

You have:

C₂ + B → B₂C₂

Left side: 2 C and 1 B.

Right side: 2 C and 2 B.

Carbon C is balanced since you have the same amount of the element on each side of the reaction, but boron B is not balanced. So, balancing the reaction:

C₂ + 2B → B₂C₂

Left side: 2 C and 2 B.

Right side: 2 C and 2 B.

Now you have the same amount of each element on each side of the reaction, so the reaction is balanced.

Now you have:

Ag₄ + SO₂ → AgO + S₂

Left side: 4 Ag, 1 S and 2 O.

Right side: 1 Ag, 2 S and 1 O.

Balancing the Ag:

Ag₄ + SO₂ → 4AgO + S₂

Left side: 4 Ag, 1 S and 2 O.

Right side: 4 Ag, 2 S and 4 O.

Balancing the O:

Ag₄ + 2SO₂ → 4AgO + S₂

Left side: 4 Ag, 2 S and 4 O.

Right side: 4 Ag, 2 S and 4 O.

You have the same amount of each element on each side of the reaction, so the reaction is balanced.

A sample of an ideal gas at 1.00 atm and a volume of 1.87 L was placed in a weighted balloon and dropped into the ocean. As the

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Volume of sample after droping into the ocean=0.0234L

Explanation:

As given in the question that gas is idealso we can use ideal gas equation to solve this;

Assuming that temperature is constant;

Lets $P_1$ and $V_1$ are the initial gas parameter before dropping into the ocean

and $P_2$ and $V_2$ are the final gas parameter after dropping into the ocean

according to boyle 's law pressure is inversly proportional to the volume at constant temperature.

hence,

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

P1=1 atm

V1=1.87L

P2=80atm

V2=?

After putting all values we get;

V2=0.0234L

Volume of sample after droping into the ocean=0.0234L

The following three equations represent reactions done in this lab exercise. Classify each reaction by their type. Note there ma

gulaghasi [49]

Answer: 1. $Cu(s)+4HNO_3(aq)rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)$ : oxidation reduction

2. $Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Cu(OH)_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)$ : precipitation

3. $CuO(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow CuCl_2(aq)+H_2O(l)$ : Double displacement

Explanation:

Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

$Cu(s)+4HNO_3(aq)rightarrow Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)$

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where exchange of ions takes place. Double displacement reaction in which one of the product remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas. Such double displacement reaction are called as precipitation reaction.

$Cu(NO_3)_2(aq)+2NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Cu(OH)_2(s)+2NaNO_3(aq)$

Double displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where exchange of ions takes place.

$CuO(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow CuCl_2(aq)+H_2O(l)$

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction where more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction where a single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.

Synthesis/Combination reaction is defined as the reaction where substances combine in their elemental state to form a single compound.

How many moles of hypomanganous acid. H3 MnO4, are contained in 22.912 g?

gregori [183]

Answer:

0.188mol

Explanation:

Using the formula;

mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of hypomanganous acid. (H3MnO4) = 1(3) + 55 + 16(4)

= 3 + 55 + 64

= 122g/mol

According to this question, there are 22.912g of H3MnO4

mole = 22.912g ÷ 122g/mol

mole = 0.188mol
