I’m not an expert and I haven’t taken chemistry in like a year but i believe you use stoichiometry to do this equation. It should look something like this.
The chemical formula CH2O can be classified as Empirical formula and possibly a molecular formula. The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest formula that indicates the simplest ratio of atoms in the compound, while the molecular formula is the representation of the actual whole number ratio between the elements of the compound.
Answer: Sulfuric acid, H2SO4, can be neutralized by sodium hydroxide, NaOH. The unbalanced equation is:
H2SO4(aq) + NaOH(aq) → Na2SO4(aq) + H2O(l)
A student who was asked to balance the reaction wrote the following:
H2SO4(aq) + Na2OH(aq) →Na2SO4(aq) + H3O(l)
Is this correct? Explain why or why not using what you know about the law of conservation of mass and chemical changes. If necessary, provide the correct balanced equation.
Explanation: The mass of the reactants must equal that of the products. This is because the masses of the products arise from the reactants and no mass is either created or destroyed. The total mass of the reactant must equal that of the product side and vice versa.
The student made an error of protonating the water molecule to H3O+ without a corresponding balance on the reactant side. In this case, it is wrong and ceases to be an equation. The product side masses don't equal the reactant side.
Balancing a chemical equation is done by first writing the correct chemical symbol. The moles and masses of each compound are cross-checked that they are equal on both sides of the equation.
C because a compound is a substance made of at least two atoms bonded together
I think It’s 55 but that’s just me
