Answer:
- <em>To balance a chemical equation it may be necessary to adjust the </em><u>coefficients.</u>
Explanation:
The <em>coefficients</em> of a <em>chemical equation</em> are the numbers that you put in front of each reactant and product. They are used to balance the equation and comply with the law of mass conservation.
By adjusting the coefficients you obtain the relative amounts (moles) of each product and reactant, i.e. the mole ratios.
Here an example.
The first information is what is called a word equation. E.g. nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia:
- Word equation: hydrogen + nitrogen → ammonia
- Skeleton equation: H₂ + N₂ → NH₃
This equation shows the chemical formulae but it is not balanced. The law of mass conservation is not observed.
So, in order to comply with the law of mass conservation you adjust the coefficients as follow.
- Balanced chemical equation: 3H₂ + N₂ → 2NH₃
As you see, it was necessary to modify the coefficients. Now the law of conservation of mass is observed and you get the mole ratios:
- 3 mol H₂ : 1 mol N₂ : 2 mol NH₃
Answer:
The pH of the solution is 7, 52
Explanation:
The pH gives us an idea of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. Is calculated:
pH = -log (H +)
pH= -log ( 3x10-8)= <em>7, 52</em>
Answer:
I think the answer is option B
Answer:
2B2 + 3O2 → 2B2O3
Explanation:
Balance The Equation: B2 + O2 = B2O3
1. Label Each Compound With a Variable
aB2 + bO2 = cB2O3
2. Create a System of Equations, One Per Element
B: 2a + 0b = 2c
O: 0a + 2b = 3c
3. Solve For All Variables (using substitution, gauss elimination, or a calculator)
a = 2
b = 3
c = 2
4. Substitute Coefficients and Verify Result
2B2 + 3O2 = 2B2O3
L R
B: 4 4 ✔️
O: 6 6 ✔️
hope this helps!
Answer is: 3. Water and carbon dioxide should both be moved to the products side, and glucose and oxygen should be moved to the reactants side.
Balanced chemical reaction for cellular respiration (convert biochemical energy):
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy, or:
glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy.
This reaction is exothermic (energy is released).
