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.

Can someone please help me with the correct formula for this?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

C₂H₄O

CH₃CHO

Explanation:

I'm not sure if you want the molecular formula or the condensed structure, but I will give you both.

Molecular formula:

You have 2 carbons (C₂), 4 hydrogens (H₄), and 1 oxygen (O).  The molecular formula will be C₂H₄O.

Condensed Structure:

You have a carbon bonded to three hydrogens (CH₃).  This carbon is bonded to a carbon that is bonded to a hydrogen and oxygen (CHO).  The condensed structure will be CH₃CHO.

Why is gunshot residue important for a forensic scientist? What are the potential complications with this type of evidence?
erik [133]
A residue from a gunshot is most likely gun powder, which tells you what kind of bullet was shot and the type of gun that was used to shoot the target/victim/person. Some complications may be that there is more than one gun or weapon which uses that residue, so it may be hard to pinpoint it and the bullet can't really tell you who it is unless there's DNA on the bullet, and the chemicals of the bullet may even destroy evidence.

What is the balance equation for copper metal and aqueous zinc nitrate
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

No reaction

Explanation:

Single-displacement reaction is the chemical reaction in which one metal which has higher negative redox potential replaces the another from it's salt solution.

Thus, Cu cannot replaces zine from its salt as it is less reactive than zince.

However, zinc can replace copper from its salt as:

Zn_{(s)}+Cu(NO_3)_2_{(aq)}\rightarrow Cu_{(s)}+Zn(NO_3)_2_{(aq)}
