WITCHER [35]3 years ago

So first we need to know what the formulas are:

Methane: CH_{4}

Oxygen: O_{2}

Carbon Dioxide: CO_{2}

Water: H_{2}O

So then we follow the equation as specified in the question. Note that it does not need to be balanced, as the question states it wants the unbalanced equation:

CH_{4}+O_{2} → CO_{2}+H_{2}O

This is the preliminary, unbalanced equation with the correct chemical formulas.

Blank 1: polar
The difference in electronegativity between N and H causes electrons to preferentially orbit N, making the bond polar.

Blank 2: trigonal pyramidal
There are four “things” attached to N - 3 H’s and 1 lone pair of electrons. The four things together are arranged into a tetrahedral formation. However, the lone pairs don’t actually contribute to the shape of the molecule per se; it’s only the actual atoms that do. The lone pair creates a bit of repulsion that pushes the 3 H’s down, creating a trigonal pyramidal shape (as opposed to a trigonal planar one).

Blank 3: polar
The molecule as a whole is also polar because the “things” around it, though arranged in a tetrahedral pattern, are not all the same. The side of the molecule with the lone pair is slightly negative, while the side with the 3 H’s is slightly positive due to the differences in electronegativity described above.

Consider the unbalanced equation for the oxidation of aluminum.
SashulF [63]
In order to balance an equation, we apply the principle of conservation of mass, which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed. Therefore, the mass of an element before and after a reaction remains constant. Here, the balanced equation becomes:
4Al + 3O₂ → 2Al₂O₃

The coefficients are 4, 3 and 2.

Answer:

Substance at the beginning of a reaction- reactant

Substance at the end of a reaction- product

Number placed before a compound in a chemical equation- stoichiometric coefficient

Explanation:

In a reaction equation, the species written on the left hand side of the equation are called the reactants.

The reactants combine to form the species on the right hand side of the reaction equation called products.

The stoichiometric coefficient is a number written before the formula of a compound in the reaction equation.
