Answer:
Requirements for a correctly written chemical equation are reactants and products, their formula and valency
Explanation:
Formula of the given compound are -
1 - Potassium Hydroxide -
2 - Calcium Nitrate -
The requirements for a correctly written chemical equation are -
- Identifying reactants and products
- Formula of reactants and products
- Valency of elements
Example of word equation, formula equation, and chemical equation is as follows -
Aluminium + iron9(III)oxide ⇒ aluminium oxide + iron (word equation)
+ ⇒ + (formula equation)
+ ⇒ + (chemical equation)
To balance this equation, first we should consider balancing C because it only presents in one reactant and one product. Assuming the coefficient of C6H6 is 1, there are 6 C's in the reactant, so it generates 6CO2. Then consider balancing H for the same reason. If the coefficient of C6H6 is 1, there are 6 H's in the reactant, so it generates 3H2O.
Now that the coefficient of the products are determined, we can balance O. There are 6*2=12 O's in CO2 and 3*1=3 O's in H2O. So the total number of O in the products is 12+3 = 15. O2 is the only reactant that contains O, so to balance the equation, the coefficient of O2 should be 15/2.
Now the equation looks like:
C6H6 + 15/2O2 ⇒ 6CO2 + 3H2O.
Times both sides of the equation by 2 results the final answer:
2C6H6 + 15O2 ⇒ 12CO2 + 6H2O
2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen makes water
Well in this
case, silver
nitrate is reduced:
Ag<span>+ </span><span>+ </span>e<span>− </span>→ Ag(s) ↓
Meanwhile, the aluminum
is oxidized forming a positive ion:
Al(s<span>) → </span>Al<span>3+ </span><span>+ 3</span>e−
To get the
overall reaction, we add the half
equations so that the electrons are eliminated:
Al(s<span>) + 3</span>Ag<span>+ </span><span>→ </span>Al<span>3+ </span><span>+ 3</span>Ag(s)
And similarly:
Al(s<span>) + 3</span>AgNO3(aq<span>) → </span>Al(NO3)3(aq<span>) + 3</span>Ag(s<span>)</span>
