What is the balanced form of the chemical equation shown below? Na2SO4(aq) + Sr(NO3)2(aq) → SrSO4(s) + NaNO3(aq)
A. Na2SO4(aq) + Sr(NO3)2(aq)
SISO4(s) + NaNO3(aq)
B. NaSO4(aq) + SINO3(aq) → SSO4(s) + NaNO3(aq)
C. Na2SO4(aq) → SrSO4(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)
Ο Ο
D. Na2SO4(aq) + 2Sr(NO3)2(aq) → 2SSO4(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)

C. Na₂SO₄(aq) + Sr(NO₃)₂(aq) → SrSO₄(s) + 2 NaNO₃(aq)

Explanation:

Based on the equation:

Na₂SO₄(aq) + Sr(NO₃)₂(aq) → SrSO₄(s) + NaNO₃(aq)

As you can see, sulfate ions (SO₄) are been replaced for nitrate ions (NO₃). That is a double replacement reaction and is a very important information because 2 NO₃ ions in Sr(NO₃)₂ are producing 1 NO₃ ion. To balance NO₃:

Na₂SO₄(aq) + Sr(NO₃)₂(aq) → SrSO₄(s) + 2 NaNO₃(aq)

1 SO₄ ion in Na₂SO₄ produce 1 SO₄ ion in SrSO₄. And Na and Sr metals are balanced yet. Thus, the balanced form of this chemical equation is:

a mercury barometer is a device that uses the physical properties of mercury in a tube to measure barometric pressure. mercury barometers are used for : -

1. measurement of atmospheric pressure  

2. determining the altitude of a place

3. weather forecasting

4. calibration and checking of aneroid barometers

5. application in fluid mechanics

6. measurement of pressure in aircrafts

7. surface weather analysis

8. preparation of barographs

9. usage in physical sciences like physics, astronomy & chemistry

10. preparation of aircraft altimeters

characteristics of mercury barometer : -

1.used to define and measure atmospheric pressure.

2.on the average at sea level the column of mercury rises to a height of about 760 mm.

3.this quantity is equal to 1 atmosphere.

4.it is also known as standard atmospheric pressure.

5.a barometer in which the weight of a column of mercury in a glass tube with a sealed top is balanced against that of the atmosphere pressing on an exposed cistern of mercury at the base of the mercury column, the height of the column varying with atmospheric pressure.
