Equalization of chemical reaction equations can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:
- 1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c etc.
- 2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index between reactant and product
- 3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1
For gas combustion reaction which is a reaction of hydrocarbons with oxygen produces CO₂ and H₂O (water vapor). can use steps:
Balancing C atoms, H and the last O atoms
Reaction
Zn + HNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + NO + H₂O
aZn + bHNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + cNO + dH₂O
Zn : left = a, right =1 ⇒a=1
H : left = b, right = 2d⇒ b=2d (eq 1)
N : left = b, right = 2+c⇒b=2+c (eq 2)
O : left = 3b, right = 6+c+d ⇒3b=6+c+d(eq 3)
3(2d)=6+c+d
6d=6+c+d
5d=6+c (eq 4)
3(2+c)=6+c+d
6+3c=6+c+d
2c=d (eq 5)
5(2c)=6+c
10c=6+c
9c=6
c = 2/3
d = 2 x 2/3
d = 4/3
b = 2 x 4/3
b = 8/3
The equation
aZn + bHNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + cNO + dH₂O to
Zn + 8/3HNO₃⇒ Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2/3NO + 4/3H₂O x 3
3Zn + 8HNO₃⇒ 3Zn(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O
Answer: The correct answer is -297 kJ.
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we want to modify each of the equations given to get the equation at the bottom of the photo. To do this, we realize that we need SO2 on the right side of the equation (as a product). This lets us know that we must reverse the first equation. This gives us:
2SO3 —> O2 + 2SO2 (196 kJ)
Remember that we take the opposite of the enthalpy change (reverse the sign) when we reverse the equation.
Now, both equations have double the coefficients that we would like (for example, there is 2S in the second equation when we need only S). This means we should multiply each equation (and their enthalpy changes) by 1/2. This gives us:
SO3 —>1/2O2 + SO2 (98 kJ)
S + 3/2O2 —> SO3 (-395 kJ)
Now, we add the two equations together. Notice that the SO3 in the reactants in the first equation and the SO3 in the products of the second equation cancel. Also note that O2 is present on both sides of the equation, so we must subtract 3/2 - 1/2, giving us a net 1O2 on the left side of the equation.
S + O2 —> SO2
Now, we must add the enthalpies together to get our final answer.
-395 kJ + 98 kJ = -297 kJ
Hope this helps!
Sulfur smells like rotten egg and is yellow...
Answer:
Corn stalks
Explanation:
Biomass fuel is produced by living or once-living organisms.
The most common biomass fuels used for energy come from plants, such as corn and soy.
B is wrong. Yellowcake is a refined form of uranium ore.
C and D are wrong. Coal and natural gas are not biomass fuels.
