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:
16Ag + 2C2 ---> 4 Ag4C
Explanation:
Ag + C2 ----> AgC2
The valence of Ag is one
Valence of Carbon is four
A balanced equation would be
16Ag + 2C2 ---> 4 Ag4C
Answer:
If a metal is less reactive than carbon, it can be extracted from its oxide by heating with carbon. The carbon displaces the metal from the compound, and removes the oxygen from the oxide. This leaves the metal.
