Balancing chemical equations

Chemistry
1 answer:
Mrrafil [7]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

A balanced chemical equation is one in which the law of conservation of matter is obeyed. The law states that "matter is neither created nor destroyed in the course of a chemical reaction".

This implies that the total mass of the products of a reaction is exactly the same as the total mass of the reacting substances.

In balancing a chemical equation, there is conservation of all kinds of atoms involved in the reaction being represented by the equation.

  • Appropriate numbers called coefficients are put in front  of the formula to balance an equation.
  • Subscripts should not be altered in an attempt to balance equation.

Some methods can be used in balancing chemical equations;

A trial and error method is useful for balancing simple equations and it involves putting appropriate coefficients in front of the formula of the reactants or products as to achieve a conservation of all atoms.

In a mathematical approach, simple algebraic equations are set up for equations that cannot be simply balanced by inspection. This involves using simple algebraic equations for each kind of atoms or groups taking part in a reaction so as to achieve the conservation of all atoms or groups.

Changing atmospheric conditions, like increasing carbon dioxide content, might possibly _____.
kobusy [5.1K]
<span>Changing atmospheric conditions, like increasing carbon dioxide content, might possibly increase the risk of global warming. Carbon dioxide, along with other greenhouse gases, is one of the leading causes of our Earth's rise in temperature. This is because greenhouse gases trap the planet's heat inside its atmosphere, preventing it from leaving the Earth's surface. </span>

Fe2O3 + H2 --&gt; Fe + H2O
sveticcg [70]
A) 10.0g of Iron is \frac{10.0}{55.8}=179mmol of Iron.

One mole of dihydrogen is required to form one mole of iron, hence you'll need 0.179*1.00=0.179g of dihydrogen.

B) Likewise : 2.50g of Iron is \frac{2.50}{55.8}=44.8mmol of Iron, hence we'll need 44.8*(3*16+2*55.8)=7.15g of Fe2O3.

1.Which statement best describes scientific laws
gtnhenbr [62]
In a way, all of the answers could be argued for (for example: in the first option: if the scientists' opinions are understood to be "informed understanding of the causes of events"), but one of the options is the best:
Scientific laws describe specific relationships in nature without offering
an explanation.

The reason why  I think this is true is that many laws are phased too short and too concise to provide comprehensive explanations, instead they describe the relationships that must hold.


One of the options is pplain false:
Scientific laws explain why natural events occur. -"Scientific laws were theories that have been tested, proven, and adopted as laws." - since they are not adopted as laws.

Marysya12 [62]
Mg(OH)2

Mg: 1
O: 2
H: 2

Mg. O H
24.3g 32g. 2

58.3g in 1 mol of Mg(OH)2

3.2mol of Mg(OH)2 x 58.3g of Mg(OH)2
-------------------------
1 mol of Mg(OH)2

= 186.56 g of Mg(OH)2 in 3.2 mols of Mg(OH)2
