Consider a specific chemical reaction represented by the equation aA + bB → cC + dD. In this equation the letters A, B, C, and D

represent chemicals, and the letters a, b, c, and d represent coefficients in the balanced equation. How many possible values are there for the quantity "c"?

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  c = a + b - d

Explanation:

                           aA  +   bB   →   cC   +   dD

c  could have any number from 1 to the number necessary in order that the

    equation be balanced.

        For example

                                 c + d = a + b

                                 c = a + b - d        

If a = 1; b = 3   and d = 2

then                        c = 1 + 3 - 2

                              c = 2,

etc.

Combining aqueous solutions of bai2 and na2so4 affords a precipitate of baso4. Which ions are spectator ions in the reaction?
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

I⁻ (aq) and Na⁺ (aq)

Explanation:

We have the chemical reaction:

BaI₂ + Na₂SO₄ → BaSO₄ + 2 NaI

However if you want to determine the spectator ions you need  to write the states of compounds:

(aq) - ions dissolved in water

(s) - solid

Ba²⁺ (aq) + 2 I⁻ (aq) + 2 Na⁺ (aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq) → BaSO₄ (s) + 2 Na⁺ (aq) + 2 I⁻ (aq)

The ions which does not change the state and remains dissolved in the solution are spectator ions. For our chemical reaction we have the following spectator ions:

I⁻ (aq) and Na⁺ (aq)

To find the Ce4+ content in a solid sample, 4.3718 g of the solid sample were dissolved and treated with excess iodate to precip
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

3.43 %

Explanation:

We need  to calculate first the number of moles of CeO2 produced in the combustion. Given its formula we know how many moles of Ce atom are present. From there calculate the mass this number of moles this represent and then one can calculate the percentage.

0.1848 g CeO2 x 1 mol CeO2/172.114g = 0.00107 mol CeO2

0.00107 mol CeO2 x 1 mol Ce/ 1 mol CeO2 = 0.00107 mol Ce

.00107 mol Ce x 140.116 g Ce/ mol  =  0.150 g Ce

0.150 g Ce/ 4.3718 g sample  x 100 = 3.43 %

Solid calcium carbonate (CaCO3) reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCI) to form carbon dioxide, water, and
Pavlova-9 [17]

Using a more concentrated HCl solution and Crushing the CaCO₃ into a fine powder makes the reaction to occur at a faster rate.

<u>Explanation:</u>

CaCO₃(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl₂(aq) + H₂O(aq) + CO₂(g)

When calcium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid, it gives out carbon-dioxide in the form of bubbles and there is a formation of calcium chloride in aqueous medium.

The rate of the reaction can be increased by

  • Using a more concentrated HCl solution
  • Crushing the CaCO₃ into a fine powder

When concentrated acid is used instead of dilute acid then the reaction will occur at a faster rate.

When CaCO₃ is crushed into a fine powder then the surface area will increases thereby increasing the rate of the reaction.

Calculate the mass percent of Cl in Freon -112 (C2 Cl4 F2), a CFC refrigerant
Karolina [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  69.6 %

Explanation:

Freon -112 (C₂Cl₄F₂)

MW = (12 x 2) + (35.5 x 4) + (19 x 2)

      = 24 + 142 + 38

      = 204 g

                       204 g of C₂Cl₄F₂  -----------------  100%

                       142 g                     -----------------   x

                      x = (142 x 100 ) / 204

                      x = 69.6 %

An alkene with the molecular formula C8H16 undergoes ozonolysis to yield a mixture of (CH3)2C=O and (CH3)3CCHO. The alkene is:
aalyn [17]

Answer:

2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene yields mixture of (CH_{3})_{2}C=O and (CH_{3})_{3}CHO

Explanation:

In ozonolysis (hydrolysis step involve a reducing agent such as Zn, Me_{2}S etc.), a pi bond is broken to form ketone/aldehyde.

Ketone is formed from di-substituted side of double bond and aldehyde is formed from mono-substituted side of double bond.

Ozoznolysis involves two consecutive steps : (1) formation of ozonide, (2) hydrolysis of ozonide.

Hydrolysis can be done with/without using reducing agent. Carboxylic acid/carbon dioxide/ketone is produced when hydrolysis is done without using reducing agent.

Here, 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene yields mixture of (CH_{3})_{2}C=O and (CH_{3})_{3}CHO

Reaction steps are shown below.
