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>

For the following reaction, calculate how many moles of NO2 forms when 0.356 moles of the reactant completely reacts.
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

0.712 mol of NO₂ are formed .

Explanation:

For the reaction , given in the question ,

2 N₂O₅ ( g )  →  4 NO₂ ( g ) + O₂ ( g )

From the above balanced reaction ,

2 mol of N₂O₅  reacts to give 4 mol of NO₂

Applying unitary method ,

1 mol of N₂O₅  reacts to give 4 / 2 mol of NO₂

From the question , 0.356 mol of N₂O₅ are reacted ,

<u>now, using the above equation , to calculate the moles of the NO₂ , as follow -</u>

Since ,

1 mol of N₂O₅  reacts to give 4 / 2 mol of NO₂

0.356 mol of N₂O₅  reacts to give 4 / 2 * 0.356 mol of NO₂

Calculating ,

0.712 mol of NO₂ are formed .
