What's a word equation

Chemistry
1 answer:
Yuri [45]3 years ago
3 0
A word equation is a chemical reaction described using words.
A common example is the act of photosynthesis - the process plants use to make glucose (sugar) to use as 'food'.
Plants convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose.
A word equation to express this is:
Water + Carbon Dioxide → Glucose + Oxygen
The other type of equation is a symbol equation - this uses the symbols of the elements instead of the common names:
H₂O + CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
There is also a balanced version:
6H₂O + 6CO₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
<em>If you want information on the balanced symbol equations, feel free to PM me.</em>

How many molecules of sulfur trioxide are in 78.0 grams?
Zarrin [17]
Molecular formula of sulfur trioxide is SO₃
Molar mass of SO₃ is -  32 + (16 x 3 ) = 80 g/mol
1 mol of any substance consists of 6.022 x 10²³ units. In 1 mol of SO₃ there are 6.022 x 10²³ molecules of SO₃
in 80 g of SO₃ - there are 6.022 x 10²³ molecules of SO₃
Therefore in 78 g of SO₃ - there are 6.022 x 10²³ /80 x 78 = 5.871 x 10²³ SO₃ molecules
