How are coefficients used to balance chemical equations?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]3 years ago
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

Why must power plants spend so much money and be so cautious in dealing with these materials?
shepuryov [24]
If you are referring to nuclear power plants and radioactive materials, then there is a high necessity to be cautious and stay safe because only by being safe you can prevent accidents like those caused in Ukraine and Japan. Unlike other types of power plants whose destruction in case of an accident can relatively easily be contained, nuclear power plants are extremely difficult to manage if things go out of hand since you can destroy the air around it, the water, the food by ruining the soil, and many other things.

What is the oxidation state of Hg in Hg2Cl2?​
Anna [14]

Answer:

+1

Explanation:

Electrochemistry. In oxidation–reduction (redox) reactions, electrons are transferred from one A redox reaction is balanced when the number of electrons lost by the reductant Hg(l)∣Hg2Cl2(s)∣Cl−(aq) ∥ Cd2+(aq)∣Cd(s).

As is evident from the Stock number, mercury has an oxidation state of +1. This makes sense, as chlorine usually has an oxidation state of -1.
