Answer:
- <em>To balance a chemical equation it may be necessary to adjust the </em><u>coefficients.</u>
Explanation:
The <em>coefficients</em> of a <em>chemical equation</em> are the numbers that you put in front of each reactant and product. They are used to balance the equation and comply with the law of mass conservation.
By adjusting the coefficients you obtain the relative amounts (moles) of each product and reactant, i.e. the mole ratios.
Here an example.
The first information is what is called a word equation. E.g. nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia:
- Word equation: hydrogen + nitrogen → ammonia
- Skeleton equation: H₂ + N₂ → NH₃
This equation shows the chemical formulae but it is not balanced. The law of mass conservation is not observed.
So, in order to comply with the law of mass conservation you adjust the coefficients as follow.
- Balanced chemical equation: 3H₂ + N₂ → 2NH₃
As you see, it was necessary to modify the coefficients. Now the law of conservation of mass is observed and you get the mole ratios:
- 3 mol H₂ : 1 mol N₂ : 2 mol NH₃
The labeled diagram is given in the image attached.
As it can be seen from the image that freezing is when energy is removed from the system at 0 ⁰ while melting is when energy is added at 0⁰.
Also when energy is added at 100⁰C, it causes boiling while when it is removed at 100⁰C, it causes condensation.
Melting point of water is 0⁰C while boiling point is 100⁰C
The answer is temperature (may be wrong)
Hey there!
Na + H₂O → NaOH + H₂
First, balance O.
One on the left, one on the right. Already balanced.
Next, balance H.
Two on the left, three on the right. Let's add a coefficient of 2 in front of NaOH and a coefficient of 2 in front of H₂O, so we have 4 on each side.
Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂
Lastly, balance Na.
One on the left, two on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of Na.
2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂
This is our final balanced equation.
Hope this helps!
PH of acidic buffer = pKa + log [CH₃COONa - HCl] / [CH₃COOH + HCl]
pKa of CH₃COOH = 4.74
Concentration of acetic acid in buffer = 2.0 M
Concentration of sodium acetate = 1.0 M
Concentration of HCl must add = x
pH = 4.74 + log (1-x) / (2+x) = 4.11
x = concentration of HCl must be added = 0.43 M
number of moles of HCl = M * V = 0.43 * 1 = 0.43 mol
mass of HCl must be added = 0.43 * 36.5 = 15.7 g
