Answer:
the stoichiometric coefficient for cobalt is 3
Explanation:
the unbalanced reaction would be
Co(NO₃)₂+ Al → Al(NO₃)₃ + Co
One way to solve is to build a system of linear equations for each element (or group as NO₃) , knowing that the number of atoms of each element is conserved.
For smaller reactions a quick way to solve it can be:
- First the Co as product and as reactant needs to have the same stoichiometric coefficient
- Then the Al as product and as reactant needs to have the same stoichiometric coefficient
- After that we look at the nitrates . There are 2 as reactants and 3 as products . Since the common multiple is 6 then multiply the reactant by 3 and the product by 2.
Finally the balanced equation will be
3 Co(NO₃)₂+ 2 Al → 2 Al(NO₃)₃ + 3 Co
then the stoichiometric coefficient for cobalt is 3
Mean: the average. you have to add the values of the numbers and then divide by the amount of numbers there are. a common mistake to avoid is forgetting to divide the numbers at the end or subtracting them instead of adding.
mean: the middle number. you would first need to order the numbers from least to greatest. a common mistake to avoid is finding the middle number before ordering it from least to greatest
these two can also be commonly mistaken for one another because of the similar spelling.
