When you work with molar mass, you solve for the quantity of ''Moles'' within the substance by converting Mass. The way you can tell the equation is balanced would be by knowing whether the moles were equivalent on both sides or not. Therefore, if they are equal, it is balanced considering you have the same amount of moles on each side of the equation.

Explanation :

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactant must be equal to the mass of product. That means mass remains conserved.

Based on the molar masses, we can tell that an equation is balanced or not.

If the sum of the molar mass of reactant side will be equal to the sum of the molar mass of product side then we can tell that an equation is balanced otherwise an equation is not balanced.

For example : 2Na+2H_2O\rightarrow 2NaOH+H_2

Now we have to check that this reaction is balanced or not.

As per law of conservation of mass,

Sum of molar mass of reactant = Sum of molar mass of product

2Na+2H_2O=2NaOH+H_2

The molar mass of sodium(Na), hydrogen(H) and oxygen(O) are 23, 1 and 16 g/mole respectively.

2(23)+2(2\times 1+16)=2(23+16+1)+2(1)

82=82

The mass of reactant side is equal to the product side that means this equation is balanced.

. What is a carbonyl group? Draw the carbonyl groups that are characteristic of aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters
Elan Coil [88]

Answer :

  • Carbonyl group : It is a functional group composed of a carbon atom that double bonded to oxygen atom. It is represented as C=O

Carboxylic group : It is the class of organic compound in which the carboxylic (-COOH) group is attached to a hydrocarbon is known as carboxylic.

The general formula of carboxylic is, C_nH_{2n+1}COOH. According to the IUPAC naming, the carboxylic are named as alkanoic acids.

Aldehyde group : It is the class of organic compound in which the (-CHO) group is attached to a hydrocarbon is known as aldehyde.

The general representation of aldehyde is, R-CHO. According to the IUPAC naming, the aldehyde are named as alkanals.

Ketone group : It is the class of organic compound in which the (-CO) group is directly attached to the two alkyl group of carbon is known as ketone.

The general representation of ketone is, R-CO-R^'. According to the IUPAC naming, the ketone are named as alkanone.

Ester group : It is the class of organic compound in which the (-COO) group is directly attached to the two alkyl group of carbon is known as ester.

The general representation of ester is, R-COO-R^'. According to the IUPAC naming, the ester are named as alkyl alkanoate.
