<u>Answer:</u>

Free element is balanced at last.

We start to balance which occurs in fewer places,  first.

Balancing requires Trial and error method

<u>Balancin</u>g is making the number of atoms of each element same on both the sides  (reactant and product side).

To find the number of atoms of each element we multiply coefficient and the subscript  

For example 5 Ca_1 Cl_2 contains

5 × 1 = 5,Ca atoms and

5 × 2 = 10, Cl atoms

If there is a bracket in the chemical formula

For example 3Ca_3 (P_1 O_4 )_2 we multiply coefficient \times subscript \times number outside the bracket.......... to find the number of atoms  

(Please note: 3 is the coefficient, and if there is no number given then 1 will be the coefficient )

So

3 × 3 = 9, Ca atoms  

3 × 1 × 2 = 6, P atoms  

3 × 4 × 2 = 24, O atoms are present.

So

Let us balance the equation given

BaCl_2  + H_2 SO_4  > BaSO_4  + HCl

(Unbalanced)

Reactant side - Number of atoms of each element - Product side

1  - Ba - 1

2 - Cl - 1

2 - H - 1

1  - S - 1

4 - O - 4

So we see here H and Cl are not balanced

So by changing the coefficient of HCl as 2 we will have  

BaCl_2+ H_2 SO_4  > BaSO_4+2HCl

(Balanced)  

Reactant side - Number of atoms of each element - Product side

1  - Ba - 1

2 - Cl - 2

2 - H - 2

1  - S - 1

4 - O - 4

So we see the number of atoms of each element is same on both the sides.

Hence the equation is balanced !!!!!!!!!!

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Latest take an example to understand how </em><em>balancing of chemical reaction</em><em> is done that is assuming the reaction between iron as well as </em><em>oxygen which reacts to form rust.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

For this we would simply right the reactant and product that is expected. Then we would see the number of molecules of each element present on either side.

If in the reaction the element’s molecules are the same on both sides then the reaction would be correct and if not then we have to apply trial and error method to balance the equation such that the number of molecules of each element is equal on both sides of the reaction.

A student listed the characteristics of chemical and nuclear reactions.
lidiya [134]

Answer:

D. It is a chemical reaction because the total mass remains the same when new substances are formed.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is represented by a chemical equation which show the reactant and products. Reactants are written on left side of arrow while products are written on right side. The number of atoms are remain same however arrangement of atoms is different on both side.

For example:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy  →   C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

it is known from balanced chemical equation that 6 moles of carbon dioxide react with the six moles of water and created one mole of glucose and six mole of oxygen. The number of atoms are same on both side however arrangement of atoms is different.

While in case of nuclear reaction small change in mass take place.

The lattice energy of a salt is related to the energy required to separate the ions. For which of the following pairs of ions is
Kay [80]

Answer: The Lattice energy is the energy required to separate an ionic solid into its component gaseous ions <em>or</em>

It is the energy released when gaseous ions combine to form an ionic solid.

Explanation:

The lattice energy depends on the ionization energies and electron affinities of atoms involved in the formation of the compound. The ionization energies and electron affinities also depends on the ionic radius and charges of the ions involved. As the ionic radius for cations <em>increases</em> down the groups, ionization energy <em>decreases</em>, whereas, as ionic radii <em>decreases</em> across the periods , ionization energy <em>increases</em>. The trend observed for anions is that as ionic radii <em>increase </em>down the groups, electron affinity <em>decreases. </em>Across the period, as ionic radii <em>increases</em> electron affinity <em>increases</em>. Also, as the charge on the ion <em>increases,</em> it leads to an <em>increase</em> in energy requirement/content.

Therefore, for compounds formed from cations  and anions in the same period, the highest charged cation and anion will have the highest lattice energy. For example, among the following compounds: Al2O3 (aluminium oxide), AlCl3 (aluminium chloride), MgO, MgCl2 (magnesium chloride), NaCl, Na2O (sodium oxide); Al2O3(aluminium oxide) will have the highest lattice energy, thus will be hardest to break apart because its ions have the highest charge.
