Question

Consider a specific chemical reaction represented by the equation aA + bB → cC + dD. In this equation the letters A, B, C, and D represent chemicals, and the letters a, b, c, and d represent coefficients in the balanced equation. How many possible values are there for the quantity "c"?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  c = a + b - d

Explanation:

                           aA  +   bB   →   cC   +   dD

c  could have any number from 1 to the number necessary in order that the

    equation be balanced.

        For example

                                 c + d = a + b

                                 c = a + b - d        

If a = 1; b = 3   and d = 2

then                        c = 1 + 3 - 2

                              c = 2,

etc.
