 The  number  to the   left   of  a chemical  formula is  called   coefficients


 Explanation

Coefficient  is  the  number in  front  of a chemical  formula.

It tell  how many  molecules  of a given formula that are  involved  in a chemical  reaction.

in   2H+O→  H2O  the coefficient  are  2,1,1

that is, 2  in front  of H2

            1 in front of O

               1 in  front of H2O

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is coefficients.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Coefficients are defined as the numbers which are written in front of the atoms or molecules in a chemical reaction. They represent the number of moles of substance in a chemical reaction.

Subscript numbers are defined as the number of atoms of each element present in a compound.

Superscript numbers are defined as the charges of ions reacting in a chemical reaction.

For Example: Dissociation of sodium carbonate into its ions, the equation follows:

Na_2CO_3\rightarrow 2Na^++CO_3^{2-}

The number '2' on the left side written in the subscript of sodium ion represents the number of sodium atoms.

The number '2' on right side written in front of sodium ion represents the number of moles of sodium ions.

The number '(2-)' on right side written in the superscript of carbonate ion represents the charge on carbonate ion.

Hence, the correct answer is coefficients.

Lerok [7]

Answer:

The swirling yellow solid formed is lead iodide (PbI₂).

Explanation:

  • The reaction of potassium iodide (KI) with lead nitrate (Pb(NO₃)₂) will produce lead iodide (PbI₂) and potassium nitrate (KNO₃) according to the equation:

2KI + Pb(NO₃)₂ → PbI₂↓ + 2KNO₃

  • Lead iodide (PbI₂) is a yellow swirling precipitate that is formed from the reaction.

At 1 atm, how much energy is required to heat 75.0 g H 2 O ( s ) at − 20.0 ∘ C to H 2 O ( g ) at 119.0 ∘ C?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

238,485 Joules

Explanation:

The amount of energy required is a summation of heat of fusion, capacity and vaporization.

Q = mLf + mC∆T + mLv = m(Lf + C∆T + Lv)

m (mass of water) = 75 g

Lf (specific latent heat of fusion of water) = 336 J/g

C (specific heat capacity of water) = 4.2 J/g°C

∆T = T2 - T1 = 119 - (-20) = 119+20 = 139°C

Lv (specific latent heat of vaporization of water) = 2,260 J/g

Q = 75(336 + 4.2×139 + 2260) = 75(336 + 583.8 + 2260) = 75(3179.8) = 238,485 J

Consider the molecule BF3. (a) What is the electron config- uration of an isolated B atom? (b) What is the electron con- figurat
anzhelika [568]

For the given molecule, we are asked to give-

  1. The electron configuration of an isolated B atom
  2. The electron configuration of an isolated F atom
  3. Hybrid orbitals should be constructed on the B atom to make the B–F bonds in Boron tri flouride
  4. valence orbitals, if any, remain unhybridized on the B atom.
  • The electron configuration of an isolated B atom:

as atomic number of B is 5

electronic configuration will be [He] 2s² 2p¹

  • The electron configuration of an isolated F atom:

as atomic number of F is 9

electronic configuration will be  [He] 2s² 2p5

  • Hybrid orbitals should be constructed on the B atom to make the B–F bonds in Boron tri flouride will be sp2.

as the one s and two of p orbital from the valance shell will hybridised to make 3 hybrid orbital of B resulting in 3 B-F bonds.

  • valence orbitals, if any, remain unhybridized on the B atom will be 1
