Subscripts are the identity of the element (the number of atoms) whereas coefficients are the number of molecules of the element.

If you change the subscript, you change the number of atoms an element has. This changes the entire element since each element in the periodic table have different atomic numbers.

Which is the next logical step in balancing the given equation?
Afina-wow [57]
To balance the give n equation, we apply elemtal balance and count each elements per side. There are 2 nitrogens in the left side so there should be 2 moles of NO2. Since there are already 4 moles of O in the right side, there should be 2 moles of O2. Hence answer is a. <span>Place the coefficient 2 in front of oxygen and nitrogen dioxide.</span>

For hydrocyanic acid, HCN, Ka = 4.9 × 10-10. Calculate the pH of 0.20 M NaCN. What is the concentration of HCN in the solution?
gogolik [260]
By using the ICE table :

initial    0.2 M            0           0
change -X                 + X           +X
Equ     (0.2 -X)            X               X

when Ka = (X) (X) / (0.2-X)
so by substitution:

4.9x10^-10 = X^2 / (0.2-X) by solving this equation for X 
∴X ≈ 10^-6
∴[HCN] = 10^-6

and PH = -㏒[H+]
             = -㏒ 10^-6
             = 6
