Answer:

balanced in ACID not BASE

Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

Answer

Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

Explanation:

Cr2O7^2-(aq) + Hg(l) ----> Hg^2+(aqH) + Cr^3+(aq)

add H^1+ (acid) to capture the O and make 7 water molecules

Cr2O7^2-(aq) + Hg(l) + H^1+ ----> Hg^2+(aqH) + Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

Cr goes from +6 to +3 by gaining 3 e

Hg goes from 0 to +2 by losing 2 e

we need 3 Hg for every 2 Cr

so

Cr2O7^2-(aq) +3Hg(l) +14 H^1+ ----> 3Hg^2+ + 2Cr^3+(aq) + 7H2O

2 Cr on the right and left

Net 12 positive charges on the right and the left

3 Hg on the right and left

14 H on the right and left

the equation is balanced

we cannot balance the equation in a basic solution with OH^1-

we have plenty of O in the dichromate ion. we need to convert it to water which take free H^1+ from the acid

The extra conversion of concentration of reactant and product should be zero in order to attaining equlibrium state.

<h3>What is equilibrium?</h3>

Chemical equilibrium refers to the state in which both the reactants and products are present in equal concentrations or amount. In equlibrium, same amount of reactant is converted into product and product into reactant.

So we can conclude that the extra conversion of concentration of reactant and product should be zero in order to attaining equlibrium state.

How many molecules are in 4.62 moles of nitric acid (HNO3)?
Lena [83]

Answer:

2.8x10^24

Explanation:

To convert moles to molecules, multiply the number of moles by Avagadro's number (6.02x10^23. Round if required.

4.62mol × 6.02x10^23 = 2.8x10^24

Plz help!!!
baherus [9]

a) The change here is that metallic iron is converted into ions and copper is deposited. This is called a displacement reaction.

b) \text{Fe} is oxidised in this reaction.

c)$ \mathrm{Fe_{(s)}+ CuSO_{4(aq)} \rightarrow FeSO_{4(aq)} + Cu_{(s)}}$
