The coefficients in a balanced chemical equation are important because they give the ratio of the reactants and the products.

Those ratios are fixed and when the reagents react do it in the same proportion and yield the products  in the same proportion of the coefficients.

Then, the coefficients are the basis for the calculations of  the amount of substances that react and the amount of substances that are formed as result of the reaction.

If 4.4 moles of al react, how many moles of h2so4 are consumed?
astraxan [27]
2 Al + 3 H₂SO₄ = Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 3 H₂

2 moles Al -------- 3 moles H₂SO₄
4.4 moles Al ------ ?

moles H₂SO₄ = 4.4 x 3 / 2

moles H₂SO₄ = 13.2 / 2

= 6.6 moles of H₂SO₄

hope this helps!

Give the ideal bond angle for BrO3- ion? I know this has trigonal bipyramidal geometry and therefore the bond angle is < 109.
Vadim26 [7]

Now that we have a background in the Lewis electron dot structure we can use it to locate the the valence electrons of the center atom. The valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory states that electron pairs repel each other whether or not they are in bond pairs or in lone pairs. Thus, electron pairs will spread themselves as far from each other as possible to minimize repulsion. VSEPR focuses not only on electron pairs, but it also focus on electron groups as a whole. An electron group can be an electron pair, a lone pair, a single unpaired electron, a double bond or a triple bond on the center atom. Using the VSEPR theory, the electron bond pairs and lone pairs on the center atom will help us predict the shape of a molecule.

The shape of a molecule is determined by the location of the nuclei and its electrons. The electrons and the nuclei settle into positions that minimize repulsion and maximize attraction. Thus, the molecule's shape reflects its equilibrium state in which it has the lowest possible energy in the system. Although VSEPR theory predicts the distribution of the electrons, we have to take in consideration of the actual determinant of the molecular shape. We separate this into two categories, the electron-group geometry and the molecular geometry.

A ballon begins at sea level at 1 atm. It rises in the atmosphere to where the pressure is lower, to where the pressure is .75 a
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Original volume=3L

Explanation:

Assuming the gas in the ballon is ideal and the temperature does not vary with height  we have the gas law as

PV=nRT

Here RHS is constant in both the conditions which means

PV=constant

Given P1=1 atm V1=V  P2=0.75atm V2=4L

P1V1=P2V2

1*V=0.75*4

V=3L

The initial volume of the gas is 3L

Why can't hydrogen be grouped in a family?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

A Family Portrait

That element is NOT in the family. When we told you about families, we said that they were groups of elements that react in similar ways. Hydrogen is a very special element of the periodic table and doesn't belong to any family. While hydrogen sits in Group I, it is NOT an alkali metal.
