Answer:

Explanation:

To balance the hydrogen atoms, we check the number of hydrogen on the left side, this is equal to the 10 hydrogen atoms we have in the alkanol.

Now, on the right hand side, we can see we only have two hydrogen atoms in the water molecule. Now, to make equal the number of hydrogen atoms on both sides, we simply multiply the number of hydrogen there by 5 to make it 10 too

How can you tell if a chemical equation is balanced

k0ka [10]

Answer:

A chemical equation is balanced when the number of each kind of atom is the same on both sides of the reaction.

Explanation:

The law of conservation of matter (except in nuclear reactions) indicates that atoms can neither be created or destroyed.

The number of atoms that are in the reactants must be the same as the number of the atoms that are in the product.

The number and types of molecules can (and will) change. The atoms that make up the molecules are rearranged but the number and kinds of atoms stay the same.

How does a buffer resist change in ph upon addition of a strong acid?

lora16 [44]

Any buffer exists in this equilibrium

HA <=> $H^+ + A^-$
In a buffer, there is a large reservoir of both the undissociated acid (HA) and its conjugate base ( $A^-$ )

When a strong acid is added, it reacts with the large reservoir of the conjugate base ( $A^-$ ) forming a salt and water. Since this large reservoir of the conjugate base is used, the ph does not alter drastically, but instead resist the pH change.

Why is argon monoatomic in nature

siniylev [52]

Argon monatomic in nature because it is a noble gas and has completely filled shells and thus does not form a bond with other elements.
