Answer: 11.0 g of calcium will react with 10.0 grams of water.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}$

moles of $H_2O$

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{10.0g}{18g/mol}=0.55moles$

The balanced chemical equation is:

$Ca+2H_2O\rightarrow Ca(OH)_2+H_2$

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of $H_2O$ require = 1 mole of $Ca$

Thus 0.55 moles of $H_2O$ require= $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.55=0.275moles$ of $Ca$

Mass of $Ca=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.275moles\times 40g/mol=11g$

Thus 11.0 g of calcium will react with 10.0 grams of water.

___AsCl3+____H2S-->___As2S3+___HCI

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

2 AsCl₃ + 3 H₂S → As₂S₃ + 6 HCl

Explanation:

When we balance a chemical equation, what we are trying to do is to achieve the same number of atoms for each element on both sides of the arrow. On the right of the arrow is where we can find the products, while the reactants are found on the left of the arrow.

We usually balance O and H atoms last.

AsCl₃ + H₂S → As₂S₃ +HCl

reactants

As --- 1

Cl --- 3

H --- 2

S --- 1

products

As --- 2

Cl --- 1

H --- 1

S --- 3

2 AsCl₃ + H₂S → As₂S₃ +HCl

reactants

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 2

S --- 1

products

As --- 2

Cl --- 1

H --- 1

S --- 3

The number of As atoms is now balanced.

2 AsCl₃ + 3 H₂S → As₂S₃ +HCl

reactants

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 6

S --- 3

products

As --- 2

Cl --- 1

H --- 1

S --- 3

The number of S atoms is now equal on both sides.

2 AsCl₃ + 3 H₂S → As₂S₃ + 6 HCl

reactants

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 6

S --- 3

products

As --- 2

Cl --- 6

H --- 6

S --- 3

The equation is now balanced.

Why are metal containers not used for storing acids

kaheart [24]

Answer : Metal containers are not used for storing acid because most of the time acid reacts with almost every metal and produces salts or oxides which alters the acid characteristics making it useless .......

Write the scientific term.

Reil [10]

Answer: Solubility.

Explanation:

Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of solute dissolved per 100 g of the solvent at a certain fixed temperature to form a saturated solution.

STP condition is Standard Temperature and Pressure condition which is temperature of 273 K and pressure of 1 atm.

Thus the scientific term for "the number of grams of solute dissolved in 100 g of the solvent to form a saturated solution at STP" is called as Solubility.
