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.

The equation for photon energy, E , is
Sidana [21]

The wavelength of a photon that has an energy of E = 3.69×10−19 J is 5.42 x 10⁻⁷ m.

<h3>What do you mean by wavelength?</h3>

The space between corresponding points (adjacent crests) in adjacent cycles is known as the wavelength () of a waveform signal that is sent in space or down a wire.

The wavelength can be calculated by the given formula

E = hc/λ

Where,  E is energy = 3.65 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

h is plank's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.sec

c is speed of light = 2.9 × 10⁸ m/s

Putting the values in the formula

λ = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴)(2.9 × 10⁸) / (3.65 x 10⁻¹⁹) = 5.42 x 10⁻⁷ m.

Thus, the wavelength, λ is 5.42 x 10⁻⁷ m.

You are provided with a compound fertilizer, 40-15-10.Calculate the quantity of fertilizer to add to a one hectare field supply
victus00 [196]

Answer:

a. 300 kg of Fertilizer

b. 225 kg of fertilizer

c.400 Kg of fertilizer

d.600 Kg of fertilizer

Explanation:

The percentage composition ratio of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium bag of the given fertilizer is 40:15:10.

The percentages can be expressed as fractions as follows:

For nitrogen; 40/100 = 0.4

For phosphorus; 15/100 = 0.15

For potassium; 10/100 = 0.1

To find the quantity of fertilizer required to add to a hectare to supply the given amount of nutrients, the amount to be provided is divided by the percentage or fractional compostion of each nutrient.

Quantity of fertilizer required to add to a hectare to supply;

a. Nitrogen at 120 kg/ha = 120/0.4 = 300 Kg of fertilizer

b.. Nitrogen at 90 Kg/ha = 90/0.4 = 225 Kg of fertilizer

c. Phosphorus at  60 kg/ha = 60/0.15 = 400 Kg of fertilizer

d. Potassium at 60 kg/ha = 60/0.1 = 600 Kg of fertilizer

What is the relationship between the number of gas particles and volume ?
choli [55]

Answer:

V ∝ n  

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that pressure and temperature are constant.

If you try to force more molecules of air into a balloon, the balloon will expand.

This is an example of <em>Avogadro's Law</em>: the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles (particles).

V ∝ n

A bond in which one atom contributes both bonding electrons to a covalentbond
yKpoI14uk [10]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

A coordinate bond

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • A chemical bond is a force of attraction between two or more atoms of elements.
  • Covalent bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs between non-metal atoms.
  • It occurs as a result of sharing of electrons between the non-metal atoms.
  • Atoms involved in covalent bond formation may contribute equally to the bond formation or the electrons shared may come form one of the atoms.
  • When the electrons shared in a covalent bond are derived from one atom, then the covalent bond is known as a coordinate bond.
