Why are formula equations using symbols and numbers used more commonly than word equations?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lana71 [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Formula equations are more descriptive and shows the ratio of atoms combining to give products more explicitly.

This makes chemical calculations more easier and stoichoimetric relationships can better be drawn.

Word equations are limited. They can even be very cumbersome a times to decipher.

Chemical formulas in equations captures the essence of a reaction much more better.

We know;

  • number of moles of species
  • nature of molecules and compounds reacting
  • state of matter
  • reaction medium
  • heat changes accompanying a reaction

                from formula equations.

All of these details might become obscured in word equations and difficult to resolve.

Calculate the number of moles of aluminum, sulfur, and oxygen atoms in 9.00 moles of aluminum sulfate, Al2(SO4)3.
vazorg [7]

The formula of aluminum sulfate is Al₂(SO₄)₃

Hence, 1 mole of Al₂(SO₄)₃ has 2 moles of Al, 3 moles of S and (4 x 3) or 12 moles of O

9 moles of Al₂(SO₄)₃ x (2 moles of Al/1 mole of Al₂(SO₄)₃) = 18 moles of Al

9 moles of Al₂(SO₄)₃ x (3 moles of S/1 mole of Al₂(SO₄)₃) = 27 moles of S

9 moles of Al₂(SO₄)₃ x (12 moles of O/1 mole of Al₂(SO₄)₃) = 108 moles of O

The number of moles of Al, S, and O atoms are 18, 27 and 108.

How many moles of water, H2O, contain 2.0×1022 molecules of water? (See the hints for assistance in interpreting scientific nota
hammer [34]
You have to use Avogadro's number which is 6.02x10^23.  The units of Avogadro's number is molecules/mole so you divide the number of molecules by Avogadro's number which will give you the number of moles.
(2.0x10^22 molecules)/(6.02x10^23 molecules/mole)=0.033 moles

Why don’t metals break when pounded into sheets or drawn into wires
sergeinik [125]

Because metallic bonding is non-localized, and extends throughout the metallic lattice. Metal nuclei can move with respect to other metal nuclei without disrupting the forces of attraction.
