Answer:

A. Place the coefficient 2 in front of oxygen and nitrogen dioxide.

Explanation:

Balancing equations is a consequence of the law

of conservation of mass, according to this law, the mass of the reactants must be equal to the mass of the products, this means that the quantity of the atoms found in the reactants must be equal to the quantity of the products In this case, for the equation to be balanced, a coefficient of 2 must be added to oxygen and nitrogen dioxide.

To balance the given equation, we apply elemental balance and count each elements per side. There are 2 nitrogens in the left side so there should be 2 moles of NO2. Since there are already 4 moles of O in the right side, there should be 2 moles of O2. Hence answer is a. Place the coefficient 2 in front of oxygen and nitrogen dioxide.

I need help with part B . please

So it's good to map out what you know you have and work from there:
We have two liter measurements and one mole measurement, and we need to find the moles.

For this problem, think of it this way: 46 liters of gas = 1.4 moles.
If one side changes, the other has to as well (if the liters decrease, the moles decrease. if the liters increase, so do the moles.) What you can do is put this into a fraction:

 1.4 moles
 46 L 

if we know that each liter of gas is equal to x amount of moles, we know that 11.5 liters equals some amount of moles. You can put this into a fraction too, and make it equal to the other fraction:

1.4 moles = x moles
46 L 11.5 L

Then get your calculator out and do some algebra.

11.5 * (1.4/46) = x

The answer should come out to be: 0.35 moles

1. Is this equation balanced? Explain your answer. Na + Cl2 → NaCl ?

Delvig [45]

It is not balanced since there are 2 Cl molecules on the left side, and only 1 on the right side. In order to balance this, you would need to make sure there are the same amount of all the molecules on both sides...

4Na + 2Cl2 = 4NaCl

Hope this helps :)
