CH4+2O2–> CO2+2H2O
-count the number of atoms of each element on each side of the reaction arrow, there is 1 carbon,4 hydrogen, and 2 oxygen on the reactant side and 1 carbon, 2 hydrogen, and 3 oxygen on the product side.Then add coefficients so the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation
<span>Kp = PH2O^2/(PH2O)^2
To calculate SO2 is to have a Kp for the reaction
let x=PSO2=PH2S
Kp= (28/760atm)^2/x^3
x=cube root(0.03684)/Kp=PSO2</span>
By changing the number of protons in an element, you are fundamentally changing it to a different element.
It’s worth remembering that:
Protons identify the element
Electrons determine properties and behavior of the element
Neutrons contribute to isotopes and just help keep everything stable, by separating the charges. Remember opposites attract. Like charges repel.
So the equation is balanced, meaning they have the smallest amounts of each element in the reactants to create the products.
So, 2 moles of H2S (the coefficient) contributes to 2 moles Ag2S, which is why the ratio is 2:2.
I hope that made sense.
