Ensure that the group experiment actually works
Let's start to understand this question by a simple combustion reaction involving oxidation of Ethane in the presence of Oxygen. When Ethane is burned in the presence of Oxygen it produces Carbon Dioxide and Water respectively. Therefore, the equation is as,
C₂H₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
Above reaction shows the reaction and the equation is unbalanced. Balancing chemical equation is important because according to law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Hence, we should balance the number of elements on both side.
LHS RHS
Carbon Atoms 2 1
Hydrogen Atoms 6 2
Oxygen Atoms 2 3
It means this equation is not obeying the law. Now, how to balance? One way is as follow,
C₂H₆ + O₃ → C₂O₂ + H₆O
LHS RHS
Carbon Atoms 2 2
Hydrogen Atoms 6 6
Oxygen Atoms 3 3
We have balanced the equation by changing the subscripts. But, we have messed up the chemical composition of compounds and molecules like Oxygen is converted into Ozone.
Therefore, we will change the coefficients (moles) to balance the equation as,
C₂H₆ + 7/2 O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O
LHS RHS
Carbon Atoms 2 2
Hydrogen Atoms 6 6
Oxygen Atoms 7 7
Now, by changing the coefficients we have balanced the equation without disturbing the chemical composition of compounds and molecules.
Answer:
3. atoms, ions, or molecules
Explanation:
A crystal is a solid material whose constituents (such as atoms, molecules, or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

How many protons, neutrons, and electrons are there in an atom of uranium-238? Write the symbol for this isotope. The atomic number of uranium (see periodic table) is 92, and the mass number of the isotope is given as 238. Therefore, it has 92 protons, 92 electrons, and 238 — 92 : 146 neutrons.
Answer:
We need 226 grams of FeS
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Mass of FeCl2 = 326 grams
Molar mass FeCl2 = 126.75 g/mol
Step 2: The balanced equation
FeS + 2 HCl → H2S + FeCl2
Step 3: Calculate moles FeCl2
Moles FeCl2 = 326 grams / 126.75 grams
Moles FeCl2 = 2.57 moles
Step 4: Calculate moles FeS needed
For 1 mol H2S and 1 mol FeCl2 produced, we need 1 mol FeS and 2 moles HCl
For 2.57 moles FeCl2 we need 2.57 moles FeS
Step 5: Calculate mass FeS
Mass FeS = 2.57 moles * 87.92 g/mol
Mass FeS = 226 grams FeS
We need 226 grams of FeS
