The net ionic equation is shorter to use and already leaves out the electrons that transferred from the reducing agent to the oxidizing agent. Also, in some occasions the aqueous ions H+ and (or) OH- ions that help balance the net ionic charge are no longer shown in the net ionic equation.
What is the problem u need help with
Answer: It will be produced 276,3 mg of product
Explanation: The reaction of anthracene (C14H10) and maleic anhydride (C4H2O3) produce a compound named 9,10-dihydroanthracene-9,10-α,β-succinic anhydride (C18H12O3), as described below:
C14H10 + C4H2O3 → C18H12O3
The reaction is already balanced, which means to produce 1 mol of C18H12O3 is necessary 1 mol of anthracene and 1 mol of maleic anhydride.
1 mol of C14H10 equals 178,23 g. As it is used 180 mg of that reagent, we have 0,001 mol of anthracene. With it, the reaction produces 0,001 mol of C18H12O3.
As 1 mol of C18H12O3 equals 276,3 g, the mass produced is 276,3 mg.
