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
We know, It's atomic formula = C4H10
Now, we know molar mass of C = 12 & H=1
so, it would be: 12*4+1*10 = 48+10 = 58
Answer:
*2Kl+Pb(NO3)2=PbI2+2KNO3: double replacement.
*2Al+3CuSO4=Al2(SO4)3+3Cu: single replacement.
*C2H5OH+3O2=2CO2+3H2O: combustion.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the required, it turns out necessary for us to recall the five types of reactions, combination, decomposition, single and double replacement and combustion as shown on the attached figure.
In such a way, since the first reaction follows the pattern AB+CD-->AD+CB we infer it is double replacement; the second reaction follows the patter A+BC-->AC+B and therefore it is single replacement; and the last one follows the pattern of combustion reaction due to the presence of CO2 and H2O on the products side.
Regards!
