For example we are going to use this unbalanced chemical reaction:
H₂ + O₂ → H₂O.
First, calculate number of atoms (hydrogens and oxygens) on left and right. There is two oxygen and two hydrogen on left and two hydrogen and one oxygen on right.
You can not change molecular formula of compound, only you can put coefficient in fron of compound to balance reaction.
Put 2 in front water to balance oxygen (now you have two oxygens on left and right). But now you have four hydrogens on right, so you must put 2 in fron hydrogen on the left.
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O.

<span>To balance a chemical equation, one has to make the total number of molecules of each element equal on both sides of the equation.
 For example,
 in the reaction of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl2), we get sodium choride (NaCl)
 Na + Cl2--->NaCl
 Now one chlorine molecule contains 2 atoms of Cl and one Na molecule contains 1 atom of Na
 To balance, we have to take 2 Na molecules,
  2Na + Cl2 ---> NaCl
 Balancing both sides we get
 2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl
 Here both sides of the chemical equation contains equal number of molecules of each element, so it is a balanced equation.</span>

3ans. CrS+2No3 --) 2No+So4+cr^3+

Cr=1 Cr=1

S=1 S=1

N=1=2 N=1=2

O=3=6 o=5=6

now that is how it look and it is not balanced in oxygen so add 2 in the front of No3.

it will look something like this 2NO3. even if u add 2 in the fornt it is not balance so add again 2 in the No in second and it will look like this 2NO.

so now it is blance.

URGENT HELP NEEDED! PLEASE ANSWER WITH EXPLANATION*
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

1) 94.0° C, 2) 34.7°C

Explanation:

1)

Q=mcΔt° =mc(t2 - t1)

2350 J = 85.0 g* 0.385 J/(g*°C) *(t2 - 22.2°C)

t2 - 22.2°C = 71.81°C

t2 = 94.0° C

2)

Q=mcΔt° =mc(t2 - t1)

- 2070 J = 75.0 g * 0.903 J/(g*°C) *(t2 -65.3°C)

t2 - 65.3°C =  - 30.56°C

t2 = 34.7°C

How do emulsifiers help oil and water to mix and not separate?
Olin [163]

Answer:

To prevent the mixture from separating substances called emulsifiers can be added. These help to form and stabilise the emulsions, preventing or slowing the water and fat/oil from separating. ... The hydrophilic end of the emulsifier molecule is attracted to the water and the hydrophobic end is attracted to the fat/oil.

Students working in lab accidentally spilled 17 l of 3.0 m h2so4 solution. they find a large container of acid neutralizer that
jek_recluse [69]

Answer is: 8568.71 of baking soda.

Balanced chemical reaction: H₂SO₄ + 2NaHCO₃ → Na₂SO₄ + 2CO₂ + 2H₂O.

V(H₂SO₄) = 17 L; volume of the sulfuric acid.

c(H₂SO₄) = 3.0 M, molarity of sulfuric acid.

n(H₂SO₄) = V(H₂SO₄) · c(H₂SO₄).

n(H₂SO₄) = 17 L · 3 mol/L.

n(H₂SO₄) = 51 mol; amount of sulfuric acid.

From balanced chemical reaction: n(H₂SO₄) : n(NaHCO₃) = 1 :2.

n(NaHCO₃) = 2 · 51 mol.

n(NaHCO₃) = 102 mol, amount of baking soda.

m(NaHCO₃) = n(NaHCO₃) · M(NaHCO₃).

m(NaHCO₃) = 102 mol · 84.007 g/mol.

m(NaHCO₃) = 8568.714 g; mass of baking soda.
