Answer:

1 on each compound there

Explanation:

A balanced reaction is a reaction that has the same number of atoms in the reactants and products. If this number is not the same, we need to balance it putting some numbers as coefficients behind the compound or element that needs to be balanced, For example:

NH₃ ------> N₂ + H₂

As you can see in this reaction, we have 1 nitrogen and 3 hydrogens in the reactants, and in the side of products we have 2 of each element. This needs to be balanced. To do this we put a number as coeffcient to balance the atoms. In this case, we can put a number 2 behind the NH₃, so the number of atoms of nitrogen becomes 2:

2NH₃ ------> N₂ + H₂

But this 2, changes the number of hydrogens, we now have 6 (cause 2 * 3 = 6), so, let's balance hydrogen on the products to be 6, putting a 3:

2NH₃ ------> N₂ + 3H₂

Now, the reaction is balanced in each side of the reaction.

Applying the same principle to the reaction of this exercise we have the following:

NaCl(aq) + AgNO₃(aq) ---------> AgCl(s) + NaNO₃(aq)

As you can see, we have the same number of atoms on each side:

Na: 1;    Cl: 1;    Ag: 1;  N: 1;  O: 3

So we don't need to balance this reaction, with just putting the number 1 or none, is perfectly balanced.

Hope this helps

24 g of magnesium were burned in oxygen. The compound formed had a mass of 40 g. Explain why the mass had gone up.
DIA [1.3K]

Answer :

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactants must be equal to the mass of products.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

Mg+\frac{1}{2}O_2\rightarrow MgO

As we know that the molar mass of magnesium is 24 g/mole, the molar mass of O_2 is 32 g/mole and the molar mass of magnesium oxide is 40 g/mole.

From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, 1 mole of magnesium react \frac{1}{2} mole of oxygen to give 1 mole of magnesium oxide.

So, the mass of Mg is 24 g, the mass of O_2=\frac{1}{2}\times 32=16g and the mass of MgO is 40 g.

That means 24 g of Mg react with 16 g O_2 to give 40 g of MgO.
