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:
Un río aluvial es aquel en el que el lecho y las riberas están formados por sedimentos móviles y / o suelo.
Explanation:
A covalent bond is formed between two atoms by sharing electrons. The number of bonds an element forms in a covalent compound is determined by the number of electrons it needs to reach octet.
1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^3
noble gas configuration: [Ne] 3s^2 3p^3
Answer:
CH₄
Explanation:
To determine the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon, we need to follow a series of steps.
Step 1: Determine the mass of the compound
The mass of the compound is equal to the sum of the masses of the elements that form it.
m(CxHy) = mC + mH = 7.48 g + 2.52 g = 10.00 g
Step 2: Calculate the percent by mass of each element
%C = mC / mCxHy × 100% = 7.48 g / 10.00 g × 100% = 74.8%
%H = mH / mCxHy × 100% = 2.52 g / 10.00 g × 100% = 25.2%
Step 3: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element
C: 74.8/12.01 = 6.23
H: 25.2/1.01 = 24.95
Step 4: Divide both numbers by the smallest one, i.e. 6.23
C: 6.23/6.23 = 1
H: 24.95/6.23 ≈ 4
The empirical formula of the hydrocarbon is CH₄.
