Answer:
John Dalton
Explanation:
John Dalton developed the concept tittle: Dalton Law of Partial Pressure.
The formula is: Pt = Pa + Pb + Pc...... Pn
A CH compound is combusted to produce CO2 and H2O
CnHm + O2 -----> CO2 + H2O
Mass of CO2 = 23.1g
Mass of H2O = 10.6g
Calculate by mass of the compounds
For Carbon C, divide by molecular weight of CO2 and multiply with Carbon
molecular weight. So C in grams = 23.1 x (12.01 / 44.01) = 6.3 g C
For Hydrogen H, divide by molecular weight of H2O and multiply with Hydrogen molecular weight. So H in grams = 10.6 x (2.01 / 18.01) = 0.53 g C
= 1.18 of H
Calculate the moles for C and H
6.3 grams of C x (1 mole/12.01 g C) = 0.524 moles of C
1.18 grams of H x (1 mole/1.008 g H) = 1.17 moles of H
Divides by both mole entities with smallest
C = 0.524 / 0.524 = 1 x 4 = 4
H = 1.17 / 0.524 = 2.23 x 4 = 10
The empirical formula is C4H10.
Answer:
Net ionic equation:
Zn²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) → Zn(OH)₂(s)
Explanation:
Chemical equation:
ZnCl₂ + KOH → KCl + Zn(OH)₂
Balanced chemical equation:
ZnCl₂ + 2KOH → 2KCl +Zn(OH)₂
Ionic equation;
Zn²⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) + 2K⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) → 2K⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) +Zn(OH)₂(s)
Net ionic equation:
Zn²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) → Zn(OH)₂(s)
The K⁺ and Cl⁻ are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The Zn(OH)₂ can not be splitted into ions because it is present in solid form.
Spectator ions:
These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.
Answer:
That iron atom is oxidized. It loses two electrons.
Explanation:
Compare the formula of an iron atom and an iron(II) ion:
- Iron atom:
; - Iron(II) ion:
.
The superscript 
in the iron(II) ion is the only difference between the two formulas. This superscript indicates a charge of on each ion. Atoms and ions contain protons. In many cases, they also contain electrons. Each proton carries a positive charge of 
and each electron carries a charge of 
. Atoms are neutral for they contain an equal number of protons and electrons.
Protons are located at the center of atoms inside the nuclei. They cannot be gained or lost in chemical reactions. However, electrons are outside the nuclei and can be gained or lost. When an atom loses one or more electrons, it will carry more positive charge than negative charge. It will becomes a positive ion. Conversely, when an atom gains one or more electrons, it becomes a negative ion.
An iron atom will need to lose two electrons to become a positive iron(II) ion with a charge of on each ion. That is:
.
- Oxidation is Losing one or more electrons;
- Reduction is Gaining one or more electrons.
This definition can be written as the acronym OILRIG. (Khan Academy.)
In this case, each iron atom loses two electrons. Therefore the iron atoms here are oxidized.
