Answer:

No

Explanation:

No, but the total mass of reactants must equal the total mass of products to be a balanced equation.

Example: Consider the following reaction ...

3H₂ + N₂ => 2NH₃ and 'amu' is atomic mass units (formula weights from periodic table)

In terms of molecules, there are 4 molecules on the left (3 molecular hydrogens (H₂) and 1 molecular nitrogen (N₂) and 2 molecules of ammonia on the right side of equation arrow. ∑reactant molecules ≠ ∑product molecules.

In terms of mass of reactants & mass of products, the 3H₂ + N₂ => 6amu + 28amu = 34amu & mass of products (2NH₃) => 2(14amu) + 6(1amu) = 34amu for sum of product masses.

∑mass reactants = ∑mass products <=> 34amu = 34amu.

The expression '∑mass reactants = ∑mass products' as applied to chemical equations is generally known as 'The Law of Mass Balance'.

Predict the formula of the ionic compound that would result from combining the monatomic ions formed by each pair of elements. M
skad [1K]

Answer:

E - Be and O

A - Mg and N

E - Li and Br

F - Ba and Cl

B - Rb and O

Explanation:

Be and O

Be is a metal that loses 2 e⁻ to form Be²⁺ and O is a nonmetal that gains 2 e⁻ to form O²⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form BeO (E-MX).

Mg and N

Mg is a metal that loses 2 e⁻ to form Mg²⁺ and N is a nonmetal that gains 3 e⁻ to form O³⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form Mg₃N₂ (A-M₃X₂).

Li and Br

Li is a metal that loses 1 e⁻ to form Li⁺ and Br is a nonmetal that gains 1 e⁻ to form Br⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form LiBr (E-MX).

Ba and Cl

Ba is a metal that loses 2 e⁻ to form Ba²⁺ and Cl is a nonmetal that gains 1 e⁻ to form Cl⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form BaCl₂ (F-MX₂).

Rb and O

Rb is a metal that loses 1 e⁻ to form Rb⁺ and O is a nonmetal that gains 2 e⁻ to form O²⁻. For the ionic compound to be neutral, it must have the form Rb₂O (B-M₂X).

I choose question 1, so molarity is the concentration of a soulution expressed as the number of moles of solute by the litress of soulution. to get molarity you divide the moles of soulute by the litress of solution. soo 1 calculate the number of moles of solute present. 2 Calculate the number of litress solution present. 3. divide the number of moles of solute by the number of litress of solution
soo 1 mol of NaOH has a mass of 40.00 g, so moles of NaOH= 26.7. 1 mole divided 40.00 = 0.375. litress of solution = 650 g. im not sure why its a g i usally do it Ls so i guess its the way your teacher wants you to do it so do you know how to do that. so molarity = moles of solute and litress solution. sorry this probably didnt help i just wanted to add something that might help. im still working on this stuff myself hope this helps.
