The number Beryllium chloride consumed is calculated as follows
write equation for reaction
that is BeCl2 + Mg -----> MgCl2 +Be
find the moles of MgCl2 produced
moles =mass/molar mass of MgCl2
= 987.5g/95 = 10.39 moles
by use of mole ratio between BeCl2 to Mgcl2 which 1:1 therefore the moles of BeCl2 is also 10.39moles
mass of BeCl2 = moles x molar mass
that is 10.39 x80 = 831.2
The balanced equation :
<em>2Al₂O₃⇒ 4Al+3O₂</em>
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Reaction
Al₂O₃⇒ Al+O₂
Required
Balanced equation
Solution
A chemical reaction is said to be balanced if the number of elements involved in the reaction is the same (either the reactants or the products)
The reaction above is said to be unbalanced because the number of elements Al and O in the reactants and products is not the same.
The balancing step
1. Give a coefficient
Al₂O₃⇒ aAl+bO₂
2. Make an equation
Al, left = 2, right = a⇒a=2
O, left = 3, right = 2b⇒2b=3⇒b=3/2
The equation becomes :
Al₂O₃⇒ 2Al+3/2O₂ x2
<em>2Al₂O₃⇒ 4Al+3O₂</em>
