Why do chemical equations need to be balanced?

Chemistry

Because if they are not balanced, then the amount of reaction is not equal to the amount of the product. You must have the same ratio of atoms on both sides of the equation because we are not losing moles of each element.

Calculate δ h for the reaction:no (g) + o2 (g) ↔ no2 (g). given: 2o3(g) ↔ 3o2(g) δh=-426 kj o2(g) ↔ 2o(g) δh=+ 490 kj no(g) + o3
maks197457 [2]
To calculate the <span>δ h, we must balance first the reaction: 

NO + 0.5O2 -----> NO2

Then we write all the reactions,

2O3 -----> 3O2    </span><span>δ h = -426 kj        eq. (1)

O2 -----> 2O    </span><span>δ h = 490 kj             eq. (2)

NO + O3 -----> NO2 + O2    </span><span>δ h = -200 kj          eq. (3)


We divide eq. (1) by 2, we get

</span>O3 -----> 1.5O2    δ h = -213  kj             eq. (4)

Then, we subtract eq. (3) by eq. (4) 

NO + O3 ----->  NO2 + O2   δ h = -200 kj
-       (O3 -----> 1.5 O2         δ h = -213  kj)
NO -----> NO2 - 0.5O2        δ h = 13  kj               eq. (5)


eq. (2) divided by -2. (Note: Dividing or multiplying by negative number reverses the reaction)

O -----> 0.5O2  <span>δ h = -245  kj         eq. (6)
</span>
Add eq. (6) to eq. (5), we get

NO -----> NO2 - 0.5O2        δ h = 13  kj 
+  O -----> 0.5O2                 δ h = -245  kj
NO + O ----> NO2               δ h = -232 kj

<em>ANSWER:</em> <em>NO + O ----> NO2               δ h = -232 kj</em>

Why is a typical car battery in a car is filled with a solution of sulferic acid
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Sulfuric acid has a higher density than water, which causes the acid formed at the plates during charging to flow downward and collect at the bottom of the battery.
