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.

What is the molarity of a solution of 14.0 g NH4Br in enough H2O to make 150 mL of solution?
kiruha [24]
The molarity of a solution equals to the mole number of the solute/the volume of the solution. For NH4Br, we know that the mole mass is 98. So the molarity is (14/98) mol /0.15 L=0.95 mol/L.

40.0L of N₂ gas are in a sealed container at STP.How many moles of N₂ are present?9 mol
Vinvika [58]

Explanation:

We have to find the number of moles of N₂ that are present in a sample that has a volume of 40.0 L at STP.

STP means Standard Conditions of Temperature and Pressure. These conditions are 273.15 K and 1 atm. We know that 1 mol of N₂ will occupy 22.4 L. We can use that ratio to find the answer to our problem.

1 mol of N₂ = 22.4 L

moles of N₂ = 40.0 L * 1 mol/(22.4 L)

moles of N₂ = 1.79 mol

Answer: 1.79 moles of nitrogen are present.

Examine the equation.
Alisiya [41]

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as;

                 2H₂_{g}   +  O₂_{g}   →   2H₂O_{l}

From the balance reaction expression:

 2 mole of hydrogen gas combines with 1 mole of oxygen gas on the reactant side;

This produces 2 mole of water on the product side of the expression.

The product is in liquid form.

 This reaction is a synthesis reaction because a single product is formed from two reactants.
