Charlie is balancing an equation. She has identified the atoms and counted the number of each in the reactants and products. Wha

t would Charlie adjust to make the number of atoms in the reactants the same as the number of atoms in the products?

Answer:

The stoichiometric coefficients.

Explanation:

Hello,

Chemical reactions are widely generalized by the following chemical equation:

aA+bB-->cC+dD

Capitalized letters are referred to both the reacting and produced species during the chemical reaction meanwhile the lowered case letters are referred to the stoichiometric coefficients which balance the chemical reaction. Balancing means that the number of atoms in the reagents must be equal to the number of atoms in the products, this is exemplified via the following balanced chemical reaction:

2HCl+Ca(OH)_2-->CaCl_2+2H_2O

The coefficient 2 in the hydrochloric acid is set due to the produced calcium chloride which has two chlorine atoms in order to equal them.

Best regards.

Answer: Stochiometric coefficients

Explanation: The chemical equations must be balanced to follow the law of conservation of mass which says that the mass of products must be same as the mass of reactants.

CH_4+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O

This is a skeletal equation  and needs to be balanced by adjusting the stochiometric coefficients. In order to keep the mass same, the number of atoms must be same on both sides.  

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

Which of the following is a balanced equation?<br><br>Select one:<br>a. A<br>b. B<br>c. C<br>d. D​
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Balanced equations have the same number of elements on both sides. If the number of elements are equal to each other for every element in the equation on both sides, then the equation is balanced.

Important concept : The big number before an element or compound represents how many molecules of that compound or element there are in a reaction. To find the number of atoms of each element you multiply the coefficient by the subscript ( small number ) which represents the number of atoms of that element in each molecule. Ex. 3H2O. There is a coefficient of 3 meaning that there are 3 molecules of H2O. There is a subscript after H meaning there are 2 atoms of hydrogen in each molecule. To find the total number of atoms we multiply the subscript of hydrogen by the coefficient of the whole molecule. 3 * 2 = 6 , so there are a total of 6 atoms of hydrogen in 3H2O

A) Cu + 2AgNO3 ==> CuNO3 + 2Ag

                    1   Cu  1

                    2   Ag  2

                     2   N  1

                     3  O   3

The amount of nitrogen atoms is different on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation

B) CCl4 + O2 ==> CO2 + 2Cl2

                     1  C  1

                     4  Cl  4

                     2  O  2

The number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation therefore this is the balanced equation, however lets check the other answer choices just in case.

C)  2K + H2SO4 ==> K2SO4 + 2H2

                        2  K   2

                        1   H   4

                        1   S    1

                        4  O   4

The number of Hydrogen atoms are different on each side of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.

D) 2Al2O3 ==> 2Al + 3O2

              4  Al  2

              6  O  6
There are a different amount of aluminum atoms on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.
