Can someone explain the steps for balancing chemical equations in depth?
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Steps explained below

Explanation:

To explain balancing of chemical equations, I will make use of an example equation where Hydrogen and oxygen react to form water.

H2 + O2 = H2O

Now, the equation I've listed above is an unbalanced chemical equation. It can be balanced by the following steps;

Step 1: Identify the elements on both the left Hand side and the right hand side.

In this case;

on the left hand side, we have H and O.

On the right hand side, we have H and I also.

Step 2: Identify the number of atoms of each element on both the left and right hand sides.

On the left, H has 2 atoms and O has 2 atoms.

On the right, H has 2 atoms and O has 1 atom.

Step 3: For the equation to be balanced, the number of atoms of each element on the right and left hand side must be the same.

Thus,

O on the left hand side has 2 atoms but on the right hand side it has 1 atom. Thus, we will multiply O on the right by 2 to balance what we have on the left.

So, we now have;

H2 + O2 = 2H2O

Step 4: Check equation: We now have;

H2 + O2 = 2H2O

Our left hand side remains 2 atoms of H and 2 atoms of O. But on the right, we now have;

2 atoms O and 4 atoms of H.

Which means atoms of H is not balanced with the left side.

Step 5: rebalance equation: To rebalance, we multiply H on the left by 2 to give us 2 × 2 = 4 atoms.

Thus, we now have;

2H2 + O2 = 2H2O

Which of the following statement is FALSE? a. Lowering the free energy of the transition state can increase a reaction rate. b.
ryzh [129]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Activation energy or free energy of a transition state is defined as the  minimum amount of energy required to by reactant molecules to undergo a chemical reaction.

So, when activation energy is decreased then molecules with lesser amount of energy can also participate in the reaction. This leads to an increase in rate of reaction.  

Also, increase in temperature will help in increasing the rate of reaction.

Whereas at a given temperature, every molecule will have different energy because every molecule travels at different speed.

Hence, we can conclude that out of the given options false statement is that at a given temperature and time all molecules in a solution or a sample will have the same energy.

What did Robert Millikan discover
butalik [34]
Starting in 1908, while a professor at the University of Chicago, Millikan worked on an oil-drop experiment in which he measured the charge on a single electron. J. J. Thomson had already discovered the charge-to-mass ratio of the electron.
