Answer:
Coefficients
Explanation:
Chemical equations are first written as a skeleton equation, which includes how many atoms each element and compound has. Skeleton equations are not 'balanced' because the number of atoms of each element on the left side (reactants) is not equal to the right side (products).
To balance a chemical equation, you can write coefficients in front of single elements and compounds. The coefficient multiplies with each single element and with each element in the compound.
For example, in this skeleton equation:
H₂ + Cl₂ => HCl
Reactants: Products:
2 hydrogen 1 hydrogen
2 chlorine 1 chlorine
Write the coefficient 2 in the products.
H₂ + Cl₂ => 2HCl
Now both reactant and product sides have 2 chlorine and 2 hydrogen, so the equation is balanced.
Gas and liquid both take the shape of their container. The difference is gas molecules equally fills the space. Is there any more information?
Use blue litmus paper. This is an indicator that can safely determine whether it is a base or an acid by changing color in response to the substance. This color indicates whether it is an acid or a base. Refer to the pH scale to see if the substance is basic or acidic.
