When balancing a chemical equation, what are the large numbers that we adjust?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nata [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Coefficients

Explanation:

Chemical equations are first written as a skeleton equation, which includes how many atoms each element and compound has. Skeleton equations are not 'balanced' because the number of atoms of each element on the left side (reactants) is not equal to the right side (products).

To balance a chemical equation, you can write coefficients in front of single elements and compounds. The coefficient multiplies with each single element and with each element in the compound.

For example, in this skeleton equation:

H₂ + Cl₂     =>       HCl

Reactants:          Products:

2 hydrogen         1 hydrogen

2 chlorine            1 chlorine

Write the coefficient 2 in the products.

H₂ + Cl₂     =>       2HCl

Now both reactant and product sides have 2 chlorine and 2 hydrogen, so the equation is balanced.

Which gas below has the largest number of moles at STP?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

a.) 22.4 L Ne.

Explanation:

It is known that every 1.0 mol of any gas occupies 22.4 L.

For the options:

  • 22.4 L Ne:

<em>It represents </em><em>1.0 mol of Ne.</em>

<em />

  • 20 L Ar:

using cross multiplication:

1.0 mol occupies → 22.4 L.

??? mol occupies → 20 L.

The no. of moles of (20 L) Ar = (1.0 mol)(20 L)/(22.4 L) = 0.8929 mol.

  • 2.24 L Xe:

using cross multiplication:

1.0 mol occupies → 22.4 L.

??? mol occupies → 2.24 L.

<em>The no. of moles of (2.24 L) Xe </em>= (1.0 mol)(2.24 L)/(22.4 L) = <em>0.1 mol.</em>

  • So, the gas that has the largest number of moles at STP is: a.) 22.4 L Ne.

Describe how an atom of copper can emit different colors of light. *<br> Your answer
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Electrons on atoms have different amounts of energy proportional to the distance of their orbital from the nucleus. So in the flame, electrons get excited and pushed to higher energy levels by the heat energy. When they fall back down, they give off photons of light of different colors, based upon how far they fall.
