What does it mean to say an equation is balanced? Why is it important for an equation to be balanced?​

Chemistry

Rom4ik [11]10 months ago
8 0

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.

Which ionic compound is soluble in water pbbr2, fe (oh)3,ca(no3)2, baso4?
Anton [14]

Ionic compound are those compounds which are made up of ions. The ion which has tendency to loose electrons is said to cation (positive charge) such as metals whereas ion which has tendency to gain electrons is said to anion (negative charge) such as non-metals.

Calcium nitrate is quite soluble in water due to very low lattice enthalpy in comparison to other ionic compound. With lower lattice enthalpy, less energy is required for the dissociation of calcium nitrate and it get dissolves in water than other three compounds. Moreover, hydration energy is higher for calcium nitrate which make its solubility higher in water than other ionic species.

Thus, Ca(NO_{3})_{2} is correct answer.

Consider the reaction: 2HI(g) ⇄ H2(g) + I2(g). It is found that, when equilibrium is reached at a certain temperature, HI is 35.
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Kc = 0.075

Explanation:

The dissociation (α) is the initial quantity that ionized divided by the total dissolved. So, let's calling x the ionized quantity, and M the initial one:

α = x/M

x = M*α

x = 0.354M

For the stoichiometry of the reaction (2:1:1), the concentration of H₂ and I₂ must be half of the acid. So the equilibrium table must be:

2HI(g) ⇄   H₂(g) +    I₂(g)

M               0             0               <em> Initial</em>

-0.354M  +0.177M  +0.177M       <em>Reacts</em>

0.646M     0.177M   0.177M        <em>Equilibrium</em>

The equilibrium constant Kc is the multiplication of the products' concentrations (elevated by their coefficients) divided by the multiplication of the reactants' concentrations (elevated by their coefficients):

Kc = \frac{[H2]*[I2]}{[HI]^2}

Kc = \frac{0.177M*0.177M}{(0.646M)^2}

Kc = \frac{0.03133M^2}{0.41732M^2}

Kc = 0.075

aksik [14]

Answer:

it is called an ion

if it gains electrons then it is an anion

if it gains protons it is a cation

typically non metals are anions and metals are cations

Iodine chloride, ICl, can be made by the following reaction between iodine, I2, potassium iodate, KIO3, and hydrochloric acid.
Vadim26 [7]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

<span>2 I2 + KIO3 + 6 HCl ---------> 5 ICl + KCl + 3 H2O 
</span>
We are given the amount of the product to be produced from the reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculations.

28.6 g ICl (1 mol / 162.35 g ICl ) ( 2 mol I2 / 5 mol ICl ) ( 253.81 g I2 / 1 mol I2 ) = 17.88 g I2
