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
3 is C i believe, and as for 4 minerals are solid, natural.. that's about all I can say...
Answer:
— The molality of chloride ions in 300g of water is. A) 1.00 molal. B) 0.500 molal. C) 0.0553 molal. D) 0.111 molal.
Answer:
Well, electrons can be converted into a atomic number so if SE atomic number is 34 that means it has 34 electrons. AI has a atomic number of 13 meaning it has 13 electrons. So the difference is that SE has more electrons then AI.
Answer:
- In general, polar solutes are most soluble in highly polar solvents.
Explanation:
The general rule is "like dissolves like" which means that <em>polar solvents </em>dissolve polar (or ionic) <em>solutes</em> and <em>non-polar solvents</em> dissolve non-polar solutes.
In order for a solvent dissolve a solute, the strength of the interacttion (force) between the solute and the solvent units (atoms, molecules, or ions) must be stronger than the strength of the forces that keep together he particles of the pure substances (known as intermolecular forces).
Since the nature of the interactions between the units are electrostatic, the more polar is the solvent the better it will be able to attract and surround the solute particles, keeping them separated and in solution. That mechanism explains why polar solutes will be most soluble in highly polar solvents.
