Basically, an electron dot diagram is just a diagram showing the number of valence electrons a certain atom has (valence electrons are electrons in the outer-most electron level of an atom). The 5 steps they give you just tell you the order of where to put each dot. The picture I attached gives a better representation.
The number around the symbol shows the order of where you would put the dot. The 1 and the 2 on the top show that the first two dots go there, and the 3, 4, and 5 go around the rest of the sides. When it gets to 6, 7, and 8, the numbers go back around to fill in each side twice.
• Take a look at the steps below to see how to balance this equation. Let's start by writing the unbalanced equation given the information.
Unbalanced Equation : C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + H₂O (g)
,
Start by Balancing the Carbons : C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + H₂O (g)
Now let's balance the Hydrogen : C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)
Balancing the Oxygen : C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)
Balanced Equation : C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (g)
• Let's apply dimensional analysis here,
0.7 L propane × (5 liters Oxygen / 1 liter Propane) = 3.5 Liters of Oxygen
• Similarly we can identify the liters of carbon dioxide produced in the reaction,
0.7 L propane × (3 liters Carbon Dioxide / 1 liter Propane) = 2.1 Liters of Carbon Dioxide
• 0.7 L propane × (4 liter water vapor / 1 liter propane ) = 2.8 Liters of Water Vapor
Answer: 12.18 u
Explanation: The average atomic mass of an element is calculated by taking the weighted average of the atomic masses of its stable isotopes.
In other words, each stable isotope will contribute to the average mass of the element proportionally to its abundance.
Answer:
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, when we want to balance chemical reactions such as in this case, the idea is to equal to number of atoms of each element at each side of the equation according to the lay of conservation of mass, just as shown below:
Because we have four phosphorous and ten oxygen atoms at each side.
