Answer: It is important for an equation to be balanced because if it is not then the reactants won't match the products.
Explanation: I don't know if you will understand this but here:
Let's say you're cooking eggs, you're reactants so to speak would be 3 eggs and 1 tablespoon of oil so you put it together using heat and a pan. Your products have to match what you have in the beginning. You cannot have an equation that looks like this
Reactants = 3eggs + 1Tbsp oil ---pan/heat---> 6eggs + 1 cup of oil
You cannot get something from what you don't have. The number of how much of an element you have must be the same of both sides of the equation.
Answer:A chlorine atom in its ground state has a total of seven electrons in orbitals related to the atoms third energy level.
Explanation:
When calcium carbonate is heated, it breaks down to form calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.
Thermal decomposition is the process in which heat is required.
It is also known as thermolysis.
It is processed in which a compound breaks into two or more products when the heat is supplied.
This reaction is used for the production of oxygen.
This reaction is also used for production of acidic as well as basic oxides.
CaCO3 on thermal decomposition gives:
CaCO3→CaO+CO2
CaO→ Basic oxide.
CO2→ Acidic oxide.
MgSO4 + 2NaOH —> Mg(OH)2 + Na2SO4
Answer:
See explanation below.
Explanation:
In the equation ∆G = –nFE, E is the electromotive force ( cell potential ) in Volts.
Now in turn a Volt is defined as the potential difference that will impart one joule of energy per coulomb of charge that moves through two points.
V = J/C where J is Joules and C is coulombs of charge
Therefore in terms of units the equation will give us units of Joules:
[ mol] x [C/mol] x [J/C] = [J]
