<span>First, write the net ionic equation for the unbalanced reaction. If you are given a word equation to balance, you'll need to be able to identify strong electrolytes, weak electrolytes and insoluble compounds. Strong electrolytes completely dissociate into their ions in water. Examples of strong electrolytes are strong acids, strong bases, and soluble salts. Weak electrolytes yield very few ions in solution, so they are represented by their molecular formula (not written as ions). Water, weak acids, and weak bases are examples of weak electrolytes. The pH of a solution can cause them to dissociate, but in those situations, you'll be presented an ionic equation, not a word problem. Insoluble compounds do not dissociate into ions, so they are represented by the molecular formula. A table is provided to help you determine whether or not a chemical is soluble, but it's a good idea to memorize the solubility rules.

This means identifying and separating the reaction into an oxidation half-reaction and a reduction half-reaction. </span><span>For one of the half-reactions, balance the atoms except for O and H. You want the same number of atoms of each element on each side of the equation. </span><span>Repeat this with the other half-reaction. </span><span>Add H2O to balance the O atoms. Add H+ to balance the H atoms. The atoms (mass) should balance out now. </span><span>Now balance charge. Add e- (electrons) to one side of each half-reaction to balance charge. You may need to multiply the electrons the the two half-reactions to get the charge to balance out. It's fine to change coefficients as long as you change them on both sides of the equation. </span><span>Now, add the two half-reactions together. Inspect the final equation to make sure it is balanced. Electrons on both sides of the ionic equation must cancel out. </span><span>Double-check your work! Make sure there are equal numbers of each type of atom on both sides of the equation. Make sure the overall charge is the same on both sides of the ionic equation. </span><span>If the reaction takes place in a basic solution, add an equal number of OH- as you have H+ ions. Do this for both sides of the equation and combine H+ and OH- ions to form H2O. </span><span>Be sure to indicate the state of each species. Indicate solid with (s), liquid for (l), gas with (g), and aqueous solution with (aq). </span><span>Remember, a balanced net ionic equation only describes chemical species that participate in the reaction. Drop additional substances from the equation.ExampleThe net ionic equation for the reaction you get mixing 1 M HCl and 1 M NaOH is:H+(aq) + OH-(aq) → H2O(l)Even though sodium and chlorine exist in the reaction, the Cl- and Na+ ions are not written in the net ionic equation because they don't participate in the reaction.</span></span>
Answer: The ratio of carbon to bromine atoms in the molecule is 3:1
Explanation:
Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass. It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.
Chemical formula shows the elements in a compound and the relative proportions of those elements.
The chemical formula given for the compound is 
which means the ratio of carbon to bromine atoms is 3: 1.
Thus the ratio of carbon to bromine atoms in the molecule is 3:1
Answer:
(a) Ethyl acetate and hexane, and (c) methanol and methylene chloride.
Explanation:
re-crystallization is a technique used to purify solid compound. Ethyl acetate and hexane are good solvent pair for recrystallization because they are miscible with each other due to their good differences in polarity. ethyl acetate has polarity of 77 while hexane has 68.
water and diethyl ether are not good solvent pair for recrystallization because water and diethyl ether are immiscible. They have very far polarity values. water has 100 while diethyl ether has 35
Answer: d) -705.55 kJ
Explanation:
Heat of reaction is the change of enthalpy during a chemical reaction with all substances in their standard states.
Reversing the reaction, changes the sign of 
On multiplying the reaction by 
, enthalpy gets half:
Thus the enthalpy change for the given reaction is -705.55kJ
