How do I balance chemical equations ?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Maru [420]4 years ago
8 0

Answer & explanation:

To balance a chemical equation, we must make sure that there are equal amounts of each element in the equation on either side.

To balance an equation step-by-step we first start by counting the amount of each element on each side. If they aren't equal, we must make them amounts equal on either side.

After you make sure all the elements are balanced, the net charge on both sides must also be equal.

What is the maximum number of grams of copper that could be produced by the reaction of 30.0 of copper oxide with excess methane
Solnce55 [7]

Answer: 24.13 g Cu

Explanation:

<u>Given for this question:</u>

M of CuO = 30 g

m of CuO = 79.5 g/mol

Number of moles of CuO = (given mass ÷ molar mass) = (30 ÷ 79.5) mol

= 0.38 mol

The max number of CuO (s) that can be produced by the reaction of excess methane can be solved with this reaction:

CuO(s) + CH4(l) ------> H2O(l) + Cu(s) + CO2(g)

The balanced equation can be obtained by placing coefficients as needed and making sure the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms of each element on the product side

4CuO(s) + CH4(l) ----> 2H2O(l) + 4Cu(s) + CO2(g)          

From the stoichiometry of the balanced equation:

4 moles of CuO gives 4 moles of Cu

1 mole of CuO gives 1 mol of Cu

0.38 mol of CuO gives 0.38 mol of Cu

Therefore, the grams of Cu that can be produced = 0.38 × molar mass of Cu

= 0.38 × 63.5 g

= 24.13 grams        

Therefore, 24.13 grams of copper could be produced by the reaction of 30.0 of copper oxide with excess methane

What is the mass in 6.34x10^23 molecules of calcium chloride
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer : The mass of calcium chloride is, 116.84 grams

Solution : Given,

Molar mass of calcium chloride, CaCl_2 = 110.98 g/mole

Number of molecules of calcium chloride = 6.34\times 10^{23}

As we know that,

1 mole of calcium chloride contains 6.022\times 10^{23} molecules of calcium chloride

or,

1 mole of calcium chloride contains 110.98 grams of calcium chloride

Or, we can say that

As, 6.022\times 10^{23} molecules of calcium chloride present in 110.98 grams of calcium chloride

So, 6.34\times 10^{23} molecules of calcium chloride present in \frac{6.34\times 10^{23}}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 110.98=116.84grams of calcium chloride

Therefore, the mass of calcium chloride is, 116.84 grams

Write the overall equation for the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl coa. express your answer as a chemical equation.
Schach [20]
 the overall  equation  for the conversation of pyruvate  to  acetyl COA  is as below

CH3COO-COO-  + NAD+  + HS-COA = ch3-COO-S -COA +NADH +CO2

The oxidation of pyruvate led to a conversation  of NAD+  to NADH and  produces acetyl COA  and CO2

if 15 mol C is mixed with 10 mol O2 which reactant is the limiting reactant? Which reactant would be the excess reactant?
ioda

Answer:

C is the excess reactant.

Explanation:

Reaction is C + O2 --> CO2

1mol of C required to react with 1mol O2

Therefore 15 - 10 = 5moles of C will be in excess
