Answer:
a. S(s) + 3/2 O₂(g) → SO₃(g)
b. Al(s) + 3/2 Cl₂(g) → AICI₃(s)
c. 2 NaOH(s) + H₂SO₄(ac) → Na₂SO₄(ac) + 2 H₂O(l)
d. C₃H₈(g) + 5 O₂(g) → 3 CO₂(g) + 4 H₂O(g)
Explanation:
We will balance the equation using the trial and error method.
a. S(s) + O₂(g) → SO₃(g)
1. We will balance O atoms by multiplying O₂by 3/2.
S(s) + 3/2 O₂(g) → SO₃(g)
b. Al(s) + Cl₂(g) → AICI₃(s)
1. We will balance Cl atoms by multiplying Cl₂ by 3/2.
Al(s) + 3/2 Cl₂(g) → AICI₃(s)
c. NaOH(s) + H₂SO₄(ac) → Na₂SO₄(ac) + H₂O(l)
1. We will balance Na atoms by multiplying NaOH by 2.
2. We will balance H and O atoms by multiplying H₂O by 2.
2 NaOH(s) + H₂SO₄(ac) → Na₂SO₄(ac) + 2 H₂O(l)
d. C₃H₈(g) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)
1. We will balance C atoms by multiplying CO₂ by 3.
2. We will balance H atoms by multiplying H₂O by 4.
3. We will balance O atoms by multiplying O₂ by 5.
C₃H₈(g) + 5 O₂(g) → 3 CO₂(g) + 4 H₂O(g)
