Or by hand: The equilibrium equation, where -log Ka=3.14 Ka = [H][F]/[HF] If there is no other source of hydronium ions than the acid (assuming a negligible contribution from water) then [H]=[F] If the initial concentra...

Re: What products do I get from these reactants?

You've got two reactions. 2 NaHCO3(aq) + MgCl2(aq) = 2 NaCl(aq) + MgCO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(l) 2 KHCO3(aq) + MgCl2(aq) = 2 KCl(aq) + MgCO3(s) ...

When dealing with potentially explosive chemicals and the question is: "Is this reaction I know nothing about safe?" then the most likely answer is: "No."

Don't ever mix nitrates and glycerine. Protonation will eventually occur.

Re: thermodynamics

You need to look up the enthalpy of formation tables.

Re: I need help, please, balancing this equation.

You can't balance it because the fermentation of ethanol is a reaction with acetic acid to produce ethyl acetate and water.

Code: Select all

CH3-CH2OH + CH3-COOH = CH3COOCH2CH3 + H2O
---

For the other you begin by balancing the carbon, then balance the oxygen, and finally the hydrogen.

Code: Select all

4 H2 + CO2 = CH4 + 2 H2O

Error: equation C16H34+C19H34O2+O2=CO2+H2O can be balanced in an infinite number of ways: this is a combination of two different reactions. Someone can help me?
