Mole ratios how can the coefficients in a chemical equation be interpreted

Chemistry

navik [9.2K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The coefficient in a balanced chemical equation  indicates the mole ratio of both reactants and products.  

Explanation:

For example lets consider the reation between Hydrogen and Oxygen to form water:

2H2 + O2 ----------------------- 2H2O

In this reaction, the coefficients of the balanced reaction can be transformed to Mole ratio according to Avogadro's Law which states that at standard temperature and pressure, equal volume of gases contain the same  number of moles.

So the mole ratio for the above equation is  the  ratio of the coefficient:

2moles     :     1 mole               :          2 moles

Answer: Cl_2+2KBr\rightarrow 2KCl+Br_2

Explanation:

A single displacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus one element should be different from another element.

Cl_2+2KBr\rightarrow 2KCl+Br_2

Synthesis reaction is defined as the reaction where substances combine in their elemental state to form a single compound.2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction where a single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.

Al_2S_3\rightarrow 2Al+3S

Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons burn in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water along with heat.

C_4H_{12}+7O_2\rightarrow 6H_2O+4CO_2

Consider the perbromate anion. What is the central atom? Enter its chemical symbol. How many lone pairs are around the central a
Yanka [14]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The central atom in the perbromate ion is bromine. The chemical symbol of bromine is Br. There are no lone pairs around the central bromine atom. The ion is tetrahedral in shape hence we expect a bond angle of 109°. 27 which is the ideal tetrahedral bond angle. The actual bond angle of the prebromate ion is 109.5°. The perbromate ion is BrO4^-

The observed bond angle is very close to the ideal value because of the absence of lone pairs of electrons from the central atom in the ion.
