What do the coefficients located before certain molecules in each chemical equation represent?

Chemistry
1 answer:
olga55 [171]3 years ago
6 0
It represents the number of moles required of that molecule to balance the chemical equation, which means to have the reaction chemically happen and goes to completion.

For example:
CH4 + O2 --> H2O + CO2     that is not balanced

with the coefficients located
CH4 + 2O2 --> 2H2O + CO2    now with the coefficients the number of oxygen and hydrogen on each side are equal

At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure heptane C7H16 is measured to be 454.mmHg. Suppose a solution is prepared by
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Mass of heptane = 102g

Vapor pressure of heptane = 454mmHg

Molar mass of heptane = 100.21

No of mole of heptane = mass/molar mass = 102/100.21

No of mole of heptane = 1.0179

Therefore the partial pressure of heptane = no of mole heptane *Vapor pressure of heptane

Partial pressure of heptane = 1.0179*454mmHg

Partial pressure of heptane = 462.1096 = 462mmHg

the partial pressure of heptane vapor above this solution = 462mmHg
