I don't know what the problem is, but here are some rues to help you out:
- All non-zero figures are significant
- When a zero falls between non-zero digits, that zero is significant.
- When a zero falls after a decimal point, that zero is significant.
- When multiplying and dividing significant figures, the answer is limited to the number of sig figs equal to the least number of sig figs in the problem.
- When adding and subtracting, the answer is limited to the number of decimal places in the number with the least number of decimal places.
Cans aren't entirely made of tin because of rusting. When scratched(which happens quite frequently to cans) the tin is in more danger of rusting. This is why the cans are coated in a layer of tin rather than the whole can is made of it.
Answer:
in the periodic table we can see that the ions of Cl is greater than the ions in Na
CaCO3 + 2KCL ⇒ CaCl2 + K2CO3
It is balanced as so based on the charges given on the periodic table and polyatomic ions.
Calcium has the charge of 2 but CO3 also shares the same charge, thus cancelling that out.
Potassium has a charge of 1 while Chlorine also shares a charge of 1, also cancelling it out.
Thus, if it performs a double replacement reaction, they would take these charges to the new elements that do not cancel out their charges.
Therefore, we need the coefficient of 2 in front of Potassium Chloride in order to balance the equation as on the products side of the equation, Potassium and Chlorine both have a subscript of 2.
Hope this helps!
