I would say that you should wear a lab coat, safety goggles, and gloves
when the teacher says so - not everything in a lab is dangerous, so
there is no need to always wear these. But when the teacher says you
should - then you should.
Hey there!
Balance the equation:
SiCl₄ + H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + HCl
Balance H.
2 on the left, 5 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of H₂O and a coefficient of 2 in front of HCl.
SiCl₄ + 3H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 2HCl
Balance O.
3 on the left, 4 on the right. Change the coefficient of 3 in front of H₂O to a 4.
SiCl₄ + 4H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 2HCl
This unbalanced our H, so change the coefficient of 2 in front of HCl to a 4.
SiCl₄ + 4H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 4HCl
Balance Cl.
4 on the left, 4 on the right. Already balanced.
Balance Si.
1 on the left, 1 on the right. Already balanced.
Our final balanced equation:
SiCl₄ + 4H₂O → H₄SiO₄ + 4HCl
Hope this helps!
Answer:
a) 1.248 x 10⁷ kg
b) 1.248 x 10⁴ Mg
c) 1.248 x 10¹³ mg
d) 1.248 x 10⁴ ton
Explanation:
a) Since 1000 g = 1 kg we can convert grams to kg by multiplyig any given quantity in grams by the conversion factor ( 1 kg / 1000 g):
1.248 x 10¹⁰ g * (1 kg / 1000 g) = 1.248 x 10⁷ kg
b) Since 1 Mg = 1 x 10⁶ g, the conversion factor will be ( 1 Mg / 1 x 10⁶ g):
1.248 x 10¹⁰ g * ( 1 Mg / 1 x 10⁶ g) = 1.248 x 10⁴ Mg
c) Since 1 mg = 1 x 10⁻³ g, the conversion factor will be ( 1 mg / 1 x 10⁻³ g):
1.248 x 10¹⁰ g ( 1 mg / 1 x 10⁻³ g) = 1.248 x 10¹³ mg
d) Since 1 metric ton = 1000 kg and 1000 g = 1 kg, we can use these conversions factors: ( 1 kg / 1000 g) and (1 ton / 1000 kg):
1.248 x 10¹⁰ g * ( 1 kg / 1000 g) * ( 1 ton / 1000 kg) = 1.248 x 10⁴ ton
