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

Chemistry

Nata [24]3 years ago

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.

A solution is prepared by dissolving 15.0 g of nh3 in 250.0 g of water. the density of the resulting solution is 0.974 g/ml. the
sergeinik [125]
The formula for molality---> m = moles solute/ Kg of solvent

the solute here is NH₃ because it's the one with less amount. which makes water the solvent.

1) let's convert the grams of NH₃ to moles using the molar mass

molar mass of NH₃= 14.0 + (3 x 1.01)= 17.03 g/ mol

15.0 g (1 mol/ 17.03 g)= 0.881 mol NH₃

2) let's convert the grams of water into kilograms (just divide by 1000)

250.0 g= 0.2500 kg

3) let's plug in the values into the molality formula

molality= mol/ Kg---> 0.881 mol/ 0.2500 kg= 3.52 m
