How do you balance a chemical equation

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dominik [7]3 years ago
6 0
There should be mass balance and the charge balance between the reactants and the products

Mass balance : total no of individual atoms of each type should be balanced before and after the reaction

Charge balance : Overall charge of the reactants should be balanced with the overall charge of the products

You can balance,

1)by just looking at it

2)by Algebraic method given above or

3)by the redox method

You need to know how to get the oxidation numbers in order to use the oxidation method

A saturated solution containing sugar and carbon dioxide at 1 atm is pressurized into a 2.00 atm container. Describe what happen
alex41 [277]
<span>As the pressure is increased the solubility of the sugar and carbon dioxide is increased. The pressure of combination leaves little to no separation. There would be no discernable difference between the ingredients used to make the saturated solution.</span>

Solution A contains 5 molecules of albumin (protein) and solution B contains 12 molecules of glucose. The solutions are separate
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

C. Water will move from solution A to solution B because glucose is in higher concentration.

Explanation:

In osmosis, the molecules of solvent will pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated to a more concentrated solution.

Solution B is more concentrated, so the water will move from A to B.

A and D are wrong, because the size of the solute particles does not control the direction of osmosis.

B is wrong because water moves to the more concentrated solution.

What is the balanced equation for the combustion of sulfur
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

There are three possible chemical equations for the combustion of sulfur:

  • 2S (s)  + O₂ (g)  → 2SO (g)

  • S (s) + O₂ (g) → SO₂ (g)

  • 2S (s) + 3O₂ (g) → 2SO₃ (g)

Explanation:

<em>Combustion</em> is a reaction with oxygen. The products of the reaction are oxides, and energy is released in the form of heat and light.

<em>Sulfur</em> iis a nonmetal, so the oxide formed is a nonmetal oxide.

The most common oxidation numbers of sulfur are -2, + 2, + 4, and + 6.

The combination of sulfur with oxygen may be only with the positive oxidation numbers (+2, + 4, and +6).

Then you have three different equations for sulfur combustion:

<u>1) Oxidation number +2:</u>

  • S(s) + O₂(g) → SO(g)

Which when balanced is: 2S(g) + O₂(g) → 2SO(g)

<u>2) Oxitation number +4:</u>

  • S(s) + O₂(g) → SO₂(g)

That equation is already balanced.

<u>3) Oxidation number +6:</u>

  • S(s) + O₂(g) → SO₃(g)

Which when balanced is: 2S(s) + 3O₂(g) → 2SO₃(g)

Two individual atoms of the same element are slightly different. One has one more proton than it has electrons. The other has on
Talja [164]

Answer:

ions

Explanation:

Individual atoms of the same element but having slightly different number of protons and electrons are called ions.

Ion is a charged particle.

  • An atom is made up of three fundamental subatomic particles.
  • Protons are the positively charged particles
  • Electrons are the negatively charged particles
  • Neutrons do not carry any charges.

When the number of protons > electrons the body is positively charged.

When the number of electrons > protons the body is negatively charged.

Charged particles are called ions.
