To balance the following chemical equation, make a tally or a count of each of the atoms on both sides of the reaction, and make sure that those atoms are equal on both the reactant and product side.
AL2O3 + HCl => ALCl3 + H2O
Left side. Right side
AL = 2. AL = 1
O = 3 Cl = 3
H = 1. H = 2
Cl = 1. O = 1
First balance the metal atoms, aluminum, then hydrogen and then oxygen.
Balanced equation :
AL2O3 + 6HCl => 2ALCl3 + 3H2O.
Left side. Right side
AL = 2 AL = 2
O = 3 Cl = 6
H = 6 H = 6
Cl = 6 O = 3.
Answer:
Explanation:
From the question, one can work out which states of matter to assign to which species. The trick with organic equations of this nature is to try to balance everything but oxygen first. Make sure you balance oxygen last because it is the easiest to balance.
D. 1,1,2,1
<h3>Further explanation </h3>
Equalization of chemical reactions can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:
- 1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c, etc.
- 2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index (subscript) between reactant and product
- 3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1
Reaction(unbalanced)
Zn+K₂CrO₄ ⇒ K + ZnCrO₄
Give coefficient
aZn+K₂CrO₄ ⇒ bK + cZnCrO₄
Zn, left=a, right=c⇒a=c
K, left=2, right=b⇒b=2
Cr, left=1, right=c⇒c=1⇒a=1
O,left=4,right=4c⇒4c=4⇒c=1
Reaction(balanced0
Zn+K₂CrO₄ ⇒ 2K + ZnCrO₄
I think A but I’m not sure so
