Answer:
it states that the total mass of the products are the same as the total mass of the reactants in a chemical reaction.
Explanation:
Balanced equation : C. CH₄ + 4Cl₂⇒ CCl₄+ 4HCl
<h3>Further explanation </h3>
Equalization of chemical reactions can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:
1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c, etc.
2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index (subscript) between reactant and product
3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1
Reaction
CH₄ + Cl₂⇒ CCl₄+ HCl
aCH₄ + bCl₂⇒ CCl₄+ cHCl
C, left=a, right=1⇒a=1
H, left=4a, right=c⇒4a=c⇒4.1=c⇒c=4
Cl, left=2b, right=4+c⇒2b=4+c⇒2b=4+4⇒2b=8⇒b=4
The equation becomes :
CH₄ + 4Cl₂⇒ CCl₄+ 4HCl
because it can influence how frequently and sufficiently the particles collide depending on the space it has to do so, for example a large surface area would be have a slower rate of reaction and a lower temperature. (the rate of reaction in terms of concentration, it is diffused from high to low)
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.
