Answer:
- <em>The coefficients in a chemical equation represent the </em><u>relative number of moles of each reactant and product that interven in the chemical reaction.</u>
Explanation:
The <em>coefficients</em> are the numbers that you put in front of each chemical formula that represents the reactants and products in the <em>chemical equation</em>. They indicate the mole ratio in which the elements or compounds react to form the products, as per the chemical equation.
See an example:
- Word equation: hydrogen and oxygen produce water
- Chemical (skeleton) equation: H₂ (g) + O₂(g) → H₂O (g)
This equation is not balanced: the number of atoms of oxygenin the reactant side is 2 while the number of atoms of oxygen isn the product side is 1. In order to balance the equation you need to add some coefficients.
When no coefficients are shown it is understood that the coefficient is 1.
- Balanced chemical equation: 2H₂ (g) + O₂(g) → 2H₂O (g)
The coefficients 2 in front of H₂ and 1 (understood) in front of O₂, in the reactant side, and 2 in front of H₂O, in the product side, balance the equation.
Those coefficients mean that the 2 molecules (or mole of molecules) of H₂ react with 1 molecule (or mole of molecules) of O₂ to form 2 molecules (or moles) of H₂O (product side).
That is the mole ratio: 2 H₂ : 1 O₂ : 2 H₂O.
Notice that, in spite of the aboslute numbers may change, the mole ratio is unique for any chemical reaction. For example 4 : 2 : 4 is the same ratio that 2 : 1 : 2, or 8 : 4 : 8, but the most common practice is to use the most simple form of the ratio, i.e. 2: 1: 2.

Answer:
Explanation:
To calculate the cell potential we use the relation:
Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction
Now in order to determine which of the species is going to be oxidized, we have to remember that the more the value of the reduction potential is negative, the greater its tendency to be oxidized is. In electrochemistry we use the values of the reductions potential in the tables for simplicity because the only thing we need to do is change the sign of the reduction potential for the oxized species .
So the species that is going to be oxidized is the Aluminium, and therefore:
Eº cell = -( -1.66 V ) + 0.340 V = 5.06 V
Equally valid is to write the equation as:
Eº cell = Eº reduction for the reduced species - Eº reduction for the oxidized species
These two expressions are equivalent, choose the one you fell more comfortable but be careful with the signs.
Answer:
O B. Convert the 10 g of NaCl to moles of NaCl.
Explanation:
The formula for finding the molality is m=moles of solute/kg of solvent. The solute for this question is NaCl and the solvent is water.
(10g NaCl)(1 mol NaCl/58.44g NaCl)=0.1711 mol NaCl
58.44 is the molar mass of NaCl
m=0.1711 mol NaCl/2 kg H2O
m=0.085557837
An intensive property is a bulk property, meaning that it is a local physical property of a system that does not depend on the system size or the amount of material in the system.
