How are coefficients used to balance chemical equations?

1 answer:

4 0

According to the law of conservation of mass, the quantity of the elements, involved in chemical reactions does not change. For example,
H2O2 - > H2O + O2
is wrong, because there are two O atoms on the first side of the equation, and three on the other. To correct it, coefficients must be added, until the amount of both H and O atoms is equal on both sides.
2H2O2 - > 2H2O + O2

For the reaction represented by the equation Fe + H2O ® Fe2O3 + H2, how many moles of iron(III) oxide are produced from 285 g of

schepotkina [342]

Balanced equation: 2Fe + 3H2O → Fe2O3 +3H2

Convert g to mols:

285/55.845 = 5.1034 mols

Mole ratio of Iron and Iron (III) Oxide: 2:1

5.1034/2 = 2.5517 mols

How many times more massive is an oxygen atom than a hydrogen atom?

Gala2k [10]

An oxygen atom is 16x more massive than a hydrogen atom.

You can figure this out by comparing the atomic masses of the two elements: oxygen has an atomic mass number of 16, and hydrogen has an atomic mass number of 1. Thus, an oxygen atom is 16 times more massive than a hydrogen atom.
