How to balance equations

Chemistry
1 answer:
dezoksy [38]3 years ago
4 0

start the balancing by writing down how many atoms there are per element. we’ll use this as an example:

C3H8 + O2 --> H2O + CO2

C = 3 C = 1

H = 8 H = 2

O = 2 O = 3

balance the carbon first, as it is easiest to do. add a coefficient to the single carbon atom on the right of the equation to balance it with the 3 carbon atoms on the left of the equation:

C3H8 + O2 --> H2O + (3)CO2

now there are 3 carbon atoms on each side. however, when you do this, you multiply the amount of oxygen atoms you had. therefore, now, there are 6 carbon atoms in 3CO2, plus that other oxygen atom in H2O. you now have 7 O atoms instead of 3.

C = 3 C = 3

H = 8 H = 2

O = 2 O = 7

now let’s move on to the hydrogen atoms.

C3H8 + O2 --> H2O + 3CO2

you have 8 hydrogen atoms on the left side, and 2 on the right. in order to balance them, you have to multiply the right side’s hydrogen atoms by 4. 4(2) = 8.

C3H8 + O2 --> (4)H2O + 3CO2

now both hydrogen and carbon atoms are balanced. same amount on both sides. however, your oxygen atoms have changed due to the multiplying (right side). you now have 10 of them.

C = 3 C = 3

H = 8 H = 8

O = 2 O = 10

now we balance the oxygen atoms. multiply the left side of the equation’s oxygen atoms by 5. 5(2) = 10

C3H8 + (5)O2 --> 4H2O + 3CO2

the chemical equation is all balanced. basically, just multiply with numbers until it equals the same amount on both sides.

C = 3 C = 3

H = 8 H = 8

O = 10 O = 10

An experiment shows that a 236 mL gas sample has a mass of 0.443 g at a pressure of 740 mmHg and a temperature of 22 ∘C. What is
aleksley [76]

Answer:

49.2 g/mol

Explanation:

Let's first take account of what we have and convert them into the correct units.

Volume= 236 mL x (\frac{1 L}{1000 mL}) = .236 L

Pressure= 740 mm Hg x (\frac{1 atm}{760 mm Hg})= 0.97 atm

Temperature= 22C + 273= 295 K

mass= 0.443 g

Molar mass is in grams per mole, or MM= \frac{mass}{moles} or MM= \frac{m}{n}. They're all the same.

We have mass (0.443 g) we just need moles. We can find moles with the ideal gas constant PV=nRT. We want to solve for n, so we'll rearrange it to be

n=\frac{PV}{RT}, where R (constant)= 0.082 L atm mol-1 K-1

Let's plug in what we know.

n=\frac{(0.97 atm)(0.236 L)}{(0.082)(295K)}

n= 0.009 mol

Let's look back at MM= \frac{m}{n} and plug in what we know.

MM= \frac{0.443 g}{0.009 mol}

MM= 49.2 g/mol

A solution of hydrochloric acid of unknown concentration was titrated with 0.10 M NaOH. If a 100.-mL sample of the HCl solution
madam [21]

<u>Answer:</u> The initial pH of the HCl solution is 3

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HCl

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

n_1=1\\M_1=?M\\V_1=100mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.10M\\V_2=1mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1\times M_1\times 100=1\times 0.10\times 1\\\\M_1=\frac{1\times 0.10\times 1}{1\times 100}=10M

1 mole of HCl produces 1 mole of H^+ ions and 1 mole of Cl^- ions

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

pH=-\log[H^+]

We are given:

[H^+]=0.001M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=-\log (0.001)\\\\pH=3

Hence, the initial pH of the HCl solution is 3

Use Boyle's Law to explain what would happen to the volume of a helium- filled balloon if it was carried underwater by a diver t
oksano4ka [1.4K]

The deeper the diver takes the helium balloon, the more it reduces in size. This is due to the pressure of the water column above pressing on the balloon. According to Boyle’s law (P= k*1/V.), as the volume of the balloon decreases, the pressure of the helium inside increases.

: calculate the mass of the solute in 1.500 l of 0.30 m glucose, c6h12o6, used for intravenous injection
vfiekz [6]
Answer is: <span>the mass of the glucose is 81,07 grams.
</span>c(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 0,3 M = 0,3 mol/L.
V(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 1,500 L.
n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = c(C₆H₁₂O₆) · V(C₆H₁₂O₆).
n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 0,3 mol/L · 1,5 L.
n(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 0,45 mol.
m(C₆H₁₂O₆) = n(C₆H₁₂O₆) · M(C₆H₁₂O₆).
m(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 0,45 mol · 180,156 g/mol.
m(C₆H₁₂O₆) = 81,07 g.
