Why does a chemical equation have to be balanced

The chemical equation needs to be balanced so that it follows the law of conservation of mass.

Mole ratios how can the coefficients in a chemical equation be interpreted
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

The coefficient in a balanced chemical equation  indicates the mole ratio of both reactants and products.  

Explanation:

For example lets consider the reation between Hydrogen and Oxygen to form water:

2H2 + O2 ----------------------- 2H2O

In this reaction, the coefficients of the balanced reaction can be transformed to Mole ratio according to Avogadro's Law which states that at standard temperature and pressure, equal volume of gases contain the same  number of moles.

So the mole ratio for the above equation is  the  ratio of the coefficient:

2moles     :     1 mole               :          2 moles

Will Florine react? will it combine with other elements?
Alexxx [7]

Fluorine is the most active chemical element, reacting with virtually every element. It even reacts with the noble gases at high temperatures and pressures. The noble gases, or Group 18 (VIIIA), also known as the inert gases, generally do not react with other elements.

A 25.0-mL sample of 0.150 M hydrazoic acid, HN3, is titrated with a 0.150 M NaOH solution. What is the pH after 13.3 mL of base
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

pH ≅ 4.80

Explanation:

Given that:

the volume of HN₃ = 25 mL = 0.025 L

Molarity of HN₃ = 0.150 M

number of moles of HN₃ = 0.025 × 0.150

number of moles of HN₃ =  0.00375  mol

Molarity of NaOH = 0.150 M

the volume of NaOH = 13.3 mL = 0.0133

number of moles of NaOH = 0.0133× 0.150

number of moles of NaOH = 0.001995 mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of this process can be written as:

HN_3 + OH- ---> N^-_{3} + H_2O

1 mole of hydrazoic acid react with 1 mole of hydroxide to give nitride ion and water

thus the new number of moles of HN₃ = 0.00375 - 0.001995 = 0.001755 mol

Total volume used in the reaction =  0.025 +  0.0133 = 0.0383  L

Concentration of HN_3 = \dfrac{0.001755}{0.0383} = 0.0458 M

Concentration of N^{-}_3 = \dfrac{ 0.001995 }{0.0383} = 0.0521 M

GIven that :

Ka = 1.9 x 10^{-5}

Thus; it's pKa = 4.72

pH =4.72 +  log(\dfrac{ \ 0.0521}{0.0458})

pH =4.72 + log(1.1376)

pH =4.72 + 0.05598

pH =4.77598

pH ≅ 4.80
