How to balance chemical equations

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sonbull [250]3 years ago
8 0
To balance a chemical equation, you want the same amount of elements to equal the same on both sides.

Step1. Write equation out
[CH4 + Cl2 ---> CCl4 + HCl] 
C:1; H:4; Cl:2      C:1; H:1; CL:5   /// Cl = 5 since 4Cl +  1Cl

The Carbon element is balanced, but Hydrogen isn't.
 So to balance it we will add a coefficient behind HCl, so now 

[CH4 + Cl2 ------> CCl4 + 4HCL]
C:1; H:4; Cl:2      C:1; H:4; CL:8 ///// Carbon and hydrogen are balanced, but now Chlorine is not. Now we balance that element by addind a coefficiant behind CL2////

[CH4 + 4Cl2 -----> CCl4 + 4HCl]
C:1; H:4; Cl:8      C:1; H:4; CL:8  ///// So now that we added a 4*Cl2, it equals to Cl:8. So now what most people want to see is if every element is at its lowest balance, so we see if we can any coefficient lower. Just like simplifying if possible.

What mass of benzene is cooled from 83.8 °C to 77.1 °C when 167 J of energy is transferred out of the system? (The specific heat
dexar [7]

Answer:

14.32g

Explanation:

Initial temperature = 83.8°C

Final temperature = 77.1°C

Temperature change, ΔT = 83.8°C - 77.1°C = 6.7

Heat, H = 167J

Specific heat, c = 1.740J/g °C

m = ?

All these parameters are related with the equation below;

H = mcΔT

m = H / cΔT

m = 167 /  (1.740 * 6.7)

m = 167 / 11.658 = 14.32g

One important drawback of the use of hcfcs as a replacement for cfcs is that hcfcs.
maw [93]

One important drawback of the use of hcfcs as a replacement for cfcs is that hcfcs are more potent greenhouse gases.

<h3>What is hcfcs?</h3>

HCFCs is an acronym for hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs).

Thye are fully or partly halogenated hydrocarbons that contain carbon (C), hydrogen (H), chlorine (Cl), derived from alkane family.

<h3>What is cfcs?</h3>

CFCs is an acronym for Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), derived from alkane family like  hydrochlorofluorocarbons.

<h3>Disadvantage of hcfcs over cfcs</h3>

One important drawback of the use of hcfcs as a replacement for cfcs is that hcfcs are more potent greenhouse gases.

during which of the following processes does the entropy of the system decrease? salt crystals dissolve in water air escapes fro
Nat2105 [25]
<h2>Entropy of the system decreases when methane gas and oxygen gas  combust to form carbon dioxide and water.</h2>

Explanation:

  • Salt crystals when dissolved in water the bond between the molecules of crystals are broken down increasing the movement between the atoms hence entropy is increased.
  • When air escapes from a hole in the balloon,the entropy increases as the air present inside the balloon occupies small volume as compared to outside.
  • Ice when melts at room temperature its entropy increases because the molecule in the ice are closely packed hence less movement between the molecules.
  • When water boils the kinetic energy increases or themovement between the atoms increases which increases the entropy.

Hence, the option (a), (b), (c), and (d) are not suitable to the statement                       that  "the entropy of the system decreases".

  • During combustion of methane gas there is release of carbon dioxide gas and water .Here, entropy decreases due to the formation of water which is due to overall decrease in the  kinetic energy of the system.

Consider the reaction
Fofino [41]
a) According to the reaction equation:

CaSO4(s) ↔ Ca2+(aq)  + SO4-(aq)

when Kc = [Ca2+][SO4-]

when [Ca2+] = [SO4-] = X

and we have Kc = 2.4 x 10^-5 so ,by substitution we can get [Ca2+]&[SO4-] 

2.4 x 10^-5 = X^2

∴X = 0.0049

∴[SO4-] = [Ca2+] = 0.0049 M

b) when we have [Ca2+] =  0.0049 M so we can get the no.of moles of CaSO4:

moles of CaSO4 = molarity * volume 

                             = 0.0049 M * 1.2 L
                             = 0.00588 moles

when we know the molar mass of CaSO4 = 136.14 g/ mol, So we can get the mass:

∴mass of CaSO4 = moles of CaSO4 * molar mass of CaSO4

                             = 0.00588 moles * 136.14 g/mol

                             = 0.8 g
