Balancing chemical equations

Chemistry
1 answer:
kolbaska11 [484]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

2B2 + 3O2 → 2B2O3

Explanation:

Balance The Equation: B2 + O2 = B2O3

1. Label Each Compound With a Variable

  aB2 + bO2 = cB2O3

2. Create a System of Equations, One Per Element

  B: 2a + 0b = 2c

  O: 0a + 2b = 3c

3. Solve For All Variables (using substitution, gauss elimination, or a calculator)

  a = 2

  b = 3

  c = 2

4. Substitute Coefficients and Verify Result

  2B2 + 3O2 = 2B2O3

      L R

  B: 4 4 ✔️

  O: 6 6 ✔️

hope this helps!

When 3.51 g of phosphorus was burned in chlorine, the product was a phosphorus chloride. Its vapor took 1.77 times as long to ef
kumpel [21]

Answer:

<em>molar mass of the phosphorus chloride = 138.06 g/mol</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

<em>mass of phosphorus will be the same as mass of CO2, since it is stated that they are of equal amount.</em>

mass = 3.51 g

<em>lets assume that it took the CO2 1 sec to effuse, then the time taken by the phosphorus chloride will be 1.77 sec</em>

From this we can say that

rate of effusion of CO2 = 3.51/1 = 3.51 g/s

rate of effusion of the phosphorus chloride = 3.51/1.77 = 1.98 g/s

<em>From graham's equation of effusion</em>,

\frac{Rc}{Rp} = \sqrt{\frac{Mp\\}{Mc} }

Rc = rate of effusion of CO2 = 3.51 g/s

Rp = rate of effusion of phosphorus chloride = 1.98 g/s

Mc = molar mass of CO2 = 44.01 g/mol

Mp = molar mass of the phosphorus chloride = ?

Imputing values into the equation, we have

\frac{3.51}{1.98} = \sqrt{\frac{Mp\\}{44.01} }

1.77 = \frac{\sqrt{Mp} }{6.64}

11.75 = \sqrt{Mp}

Mp = 11.75^{2}

Mp = <em>molar mass of the phosphorus chloride = 138.06 g/mol</em>

The first word in the name of an ester is derived from the ________ used in the esterification.
oksian1 [2.3K]

The first word in the name of an ester is derived from the alcohol used in the esterification.

<h3>What is esterification?</h3>

Esterification is a chemical process where an organic acid with the formula is combined with an alcohol molecule having the chemical formula (ROH).

The process of esterification is known to produce an ester molecule and during this phenomenon is released water (H2O).

An example of an esterification reaction occurs when ethanoic acid (i.e., the active ingredient of vinegar) can react with C2H5OH (i.e., ethanol) in order to form the ethyl ethanoate molecule, which is a well-known ester molecule.

In conclusion, the first word in the name of an ester is derived from the Alcohol used in the esterification.

A salt forms in the reaction of barium with chlorine. What is the most likely formula unit of this salt?
Scrat [10]
The answer to this question would be: BaCl 2
Barium is an alkali metal with 56 atomic number. Barium located in the group 2 of the periodic table because it has 2 valence electrons. Chlorine is a nonmetal that has 1 valence electron. When react, it would need 2 chlorine for each barium as the valence electron of barium is twice the chlorine.
