Question

The reactant side of a balanced chemical equation is shown below.

Answer 1

Matter can be neither created or destroyed so if we 3mol of Cl2 then we have 6 total

So the answer is 6

Answer 2

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A reaction equation in which there are equal number of reactant and product molecules is known as a balanced equation.

For example, $Al_{2}(SO_{4})_{3} + 3Cl_{2} \rightarrow AlCl_{3} + SO_{4}$

Number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.

Al = 2

$SO_{4}$ = 3

Cl = 6

Number of atoms on product side are as follows.

Al = 1

$SO_{4}$ = 1

Cl = 3

Therefore, to balance this equation multiply $AlCl_{3}$ by 2 and $SO_{4}$ by 3 on product side.

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is as follows.

   $Al_{2}(SO_{4})_{3} + 3Cl_{2} \rightarrow 2AlCl_{3} + 3SO_{4}$

Thus, we can conclude that number of total chlorine atoms on product side are 6.
